It's sometimes hard to believe, but it's already been two years since we catered this beautiful bridal shower tea party in Santa Monica. The event's host, Wendy, has been a long time loyal Not Hungry Catering client and as always it was wonderful to work with her and be a part of the special day. The intimate event space proved to be the perfect location for the 13-guest tea party. A tea party is a wonderful way to celebrate any occasion as it lends itself to a wide range of themes and decorating possibilities. Whether you want something modern or something a little bit more girly, it's an easy party style to customize. In Wendy’s case, she brought in some treasured family heirloom lace linens and a beautiful China tea set that made it feel very personal. We complimented the set up with our own vintage cake platters and tiered cake plates The tablescape gave the tea party a true Victorian feel while bright florals made it girly, pretty, and fun. We matched the look and feel of the party with a tea party menu that had both classical elements as well as a spin on traditional items, such as savory cheese madelines! It included a little bit of something for everyone: from a savory assortment of tea sandwiches to sweet scones and mini cupcakes. Take a look at the full menu:
