Tea Time

I think one of my all time favourite shoots that we have done at WSG is our tea party story from our very first issue. I love the fun mix of Cath Kidston fabrics and the beautiful roses and peonies although I thought the best part of the article were the free downloads! I loved them so much that I used the tea cannister labels to label my teas at home! We have had lots of brides emailing us to say they used this idea for their kitchen teas and also engagement parties.

Tea Time
Yesterday I received an invite to a friends high tea hens party which I think is such a great idea. I have noticed that high tea is starting to become more and more popular. Girls who dont want the big night out are prefering to go out for a stylish high tea instead. It's also a great way to include the older family members as part of a kitchen tea. One of my most favourite high tea experiences was when I was in London earlier this year at The Lanesborough. On previous trips to London I had tried high tea at Claridges which was fantastic, but The Lanesborough took high tea to another level. It won best Afternoon Tea in London awarded by the UK Tea Council and was absolutely divine, they even employ a tea sommelier!

High Tea at The Lanesborough

Some great venues for high tea in Australia are:
The Tea Room QVB in Sydney
Aria at The Langham in Melbourne
The Apothecary 1878 in Adelaide
The Hyatt in Perth
The Sofitel in Brisbane

Cath Kidston inspired kitchen tea party
I absolutely love Cath Kidston fabrics and am excited to have found some of her stationery items at Amazon. The recipe organiser and kitchen notes would make great gifts or favours. It would match in really well with our Tea Party story that we featured in Issue 1 of the magazine. You could download our FREE tea bag labels and tea tin labels from our website and buy some matching Cath Kidston napkins from a good newsagent to fit in with the theme. I have also seen at Spotlight a similar strawberry fabric sold that you could use as an inexpensive table cloth or runner.
