Vintage tea party

I love all things vintage, whether it be some hand made lace gloves that have been passed down to me, or some 1930's shoes I have picked up in a charity shop.
There is something magical about an object that has lived through so many era's and survived it's travels through time in a beautiful condition, and stayed on trend!
One of my brides got engaged in America, Miami, and so she wanted to incorporate this into her wedding theme, just a slight American twang to remind her of that romantic moment.
So I proposed she has a wedding shower, although not a terribly English tradition, in America it is often done 1-2 months before the wedding.
The theme we chose was vintage, and I thought a tea party would be fun and unusual next to the normal trend of hen nights.
To help her get in the mood, and present the theme, I put together this vintage tea party inspiration board.
My fave idea is the egg cup candles. Even cuter than tea cup candles and sooo easy to make!!!
A hand made touch can round off a vintage feel, and in the meantime you learn new skills! Like jam jar tea light holders, home made cup cakes, or hand picked garden flowers in vintage feel cups or vases.
Casual, elegance is the key to this type of theme, I guess that's where the phrase shabby chic came from!!!
