Here is what Aracely said about planning the celebration- “Since my little one just turned 2, I thought it would be a great opportunity to set up a tea table and other sweet stations under the trees while enjoying some quality mommy and me time over a nice cup of tea and sweets.

I used a variety of cake stands, teacups, teapots, dessert plates, milk glass vases and compotes, from my Minted and Vintage collection of rentals to display the yummy desserts.

Everything was kept child sized to make it easy for my 2 year old to enjoy. From the child sized teacups and white chiavari chairs, to the mini cakes and cupcakes, and cake pops she had a blast having everything at her reach and just her size!

We served pink tea with colored sugar hearts and old-fashioned rock candy sticks. The tea table, vintage tea cart, and wooden dollhouse, displayed a variety of buttercream iced mini cakes, individual rose cakes, mini pink cheesecakes and cupcakes topped with raspberries, coconut and chocolate brigadeiros, cake pops, chocolate dipped french macarons, heart shaped petit fours, meringues, and marshmallows.

This mommy and me tea party under the trees was such a sweet memory! I think it’s a great alternative for subsequent birthdays after having a big 1st birthday celebration as it allowed me to spend quality time with my girl (and her favorite dolls) and give her all of my undivided attention.”

Romantic Valentine’s Day Tea Party

And up next… This beautiful ROMANTIC VALENTINE’S DAY TEA PARTY submitted by Sharon Pardon. Is that ruffle cake not the cutest cake ever?! I love the delicate cupcakes in the tea box as well. 
Here is what Sharon said about the party– “I was inspired to do this Valentines day table. I didnt want to do the typical tradtional colours of red and white, so went with pink and blue. I like to think its a high tea romantic valentines day. I also love prettiness, and being that valentines Day isnt huge in Australia I wanted to make it feel softer.”Vendor Credits–Photography : http://www.samanthapearce.com.au/index2.php#/home/ Drinking straws and Swizzle sticks: http://www.tlbc.com.au/ Chocolate Wrappers {Free Printables}: http://sweetscarletdesigns.blogspot.com.au/ Small hearts and tea labels: http://www.eatdrinkchic.com/ Little Tickets: http://misscutiepiegoes80s.blogspot.com.au/

Girls 5th Birthday Princess Tea Party

It’s time for another gorgeous princess party. This PRINCESS 5TH BIRTHDAY PARTYwas submitted by Sriti Fusillo. Sriti not only chose to host a princess party for her daughter, but a tea party as well. Everything was put together so perfectly. Such a pretty party for a darling little girl.
 Here is what Sriti wrote about the party-
“I did a Princess Tea Party for my daughter Sarina for her 5th birthday. I hand-made the invitations to look like tea bags which folded out and gave all the details for Princess Sarina’s Birthday Tea. I hand made all the food except the cake, which was made by It’s All About the Cake. We had Petite Fours with fondant tea pot toppers and pink blossoms, chocolate cupcake pops, yogurt parfaits, brownie bites with fondant dahlias, and sugar cookies. I also made Princess Punch (sherbert with ginger ale) and we had pink tea (pink lemonade). The table napkins were mismatched pieces of material I had that I sewed into napkins. The napkin rings are toilet paper rolls cut and then covered with ribbon and a rhinestone. I designed the chair backing and all the printables myself (I am a freelance graphic designer) and my husband hung a small chandelier over the table using fishing line. The girls had a hair and makeup statio n where they could get their hair and makeup done and a crafts table where they could make their own crowns and wands. The goody bags were felt bags that were filled with princess items (a charm bracelet with princess charms, jewelry erasers, princess pops and truffles in a gown box) that each of the girls got to take home along with their made crowns and wands.” Photography- Blue Sky’s Studio

Scrabble Tea Time Party

And up next, a beautiful SCRABBLE TEA TIME PARTY submitted by Kendall Burley of Cherry Kissed Events! What a terrific way to get together with your girlfriends! Party details from Kendall- “Nicole and I had a chance to do a great photo shoot inspired by a garden tea theme. We have been planning a Tea Time photo shoot for some time now and finally got to put all our items and ideas together with some great vendors. And we had a lot of fun too! First, we decided to use purples, golds, pinks, and greens as the main colors for the day. Next, we decided what items we really wanted to include in our shoot. Such as using our DIY frames that we had worked on, bunting, a cute cake, and fun details like a pop of color on each plate by using a pear. We used our favorite florist, Bonnie, from Florals by Flory in Roseville, Ca. She did a great job using bright wildflowers and incorporating them with the DIY tea tins and the DIY laced wine bottles that we made. We used our sweet friend, Tamsin, from the Sweet Bambino in Roseville. Tamsin makes great baby clothes and other fun items and she made us the cutest bunting. The bunting was made with burlap and felt and she added some cute flowers as a fun detail. We met with Sweet Cakes by Rebecca in Citrus Heights and showed them the type of cake we wanted and they did an awesome job making us exactly what we wanted, and it tasted great too! We highly recommend them! We had the chance to use our dear friend, Marci’s, new business, Sacramento Vintage Crockery Rentals. She had some unique and original tea time items that really made our shoot look awesome. You need to check out her amazing selection. We also had photos taken by our friend, Kiem, from Kiem Nyugen Photography. He is always so helpful and works quickly, getting our pictures to us quickly. He is a must for every party!”
