A Tea Party Shower Fit for a Princess

My mom and I always loved tea parties.  Here is some inspiration for a tea party shower for a bride-to-be.  Home baked scones, hot tea served in my great grandmothers 1900 China made in Buffalo, NY.  We're very sentimental and love to include items from our relatives who are no longer with us. 
All you need for a Tea Party Themed Shower:
- scones
- fragrant flowers
- your favorite tea
- fresh fruit
- chicken salad (homemade with curry is my favorite!)

Optional:
- hats
- balloons
- cupcakes
- favors candles in teacups

* You could ask your guests to bring tea party themed gifts

Enjoy!

Feather Birdcage Veil for Bride-to-Be

 

 

We just finished a custom birdcage veil for a bride.  She wanted a veil that was smaller in size to compliment the one shoulder wedding gown.  I'm so thrilled with how it turned out.  The contrast of the white feathers with the bleached ivory peacock feathers adds such a unique look with the vintage rhinestone pin.  We can't wait to see the brides photos!

Custom Feather Veil

Hope everyone is having a good weekend!  I'm working on a custom bridal veil right now for a bride-to-be for her wedding at the end of this month.  She wanted something unique and delicate to work with the sleek and sophisticated dress she chose.  The veil is a birdcage style russian veiling bandeau which will have the feather ornamentation and antique brooch one one side.  I'm using white feathers, bleached peacock feather, and russian veiling.  Will post more pics soon!
