I feel so incredibly blessed lately with all the phone calls and messages I have been receiving about wedding planning, candy tables and more. My calendar is filling up and I am meeting some gorgeous and amazing brides for the upcoming year.

With the Wedding Fair fast approaching things are getting extremely busy but honestly the more I have going on the more I get accomplished so I am up for the challenge.

I am however ready for school to start so that my boys will be back into a routine and it will clear up my schedule to get more things accomplished during the day instead of in the evening. I wish everyone a great school year and I can’t wait for all the great things that we have coming up so stay tuned.

A Vintage Bridal Shower Tea

Showering a bride-to-be with gifts and good wishes is a lovely tradition, and a fête that is uniquely hers makes the day memorable. While it’s easy—and appreciated—to purchase a gift from the registry, an unexpected set of exquisite, mismatched vintage teacups makes a great surprise for the guest of honor.

Here’s how it works:

• In the invitation, ask each guest to bring one pretty vintage teacup to the shower. (The hostess may want to have a few additional teacups at the ready in case a guest forgets.)
• Also encourage guests to wear any long, old-fashioned gloves they may have; it is a vintage tea party! Older family members will be delighted to dust a pair off, and younger attendees will enjoy playing dress-up. (The organizers may want to provide some at the shower for ladies to borrow and wear.)
• Be sure to ask one guest, perhaps the hostess or the organizers, to gift the bride-to-be with a tea pot.
• At the shower, set aside a small table or area for guests to drop off the teacup they brought, and then encourage everyone to use them! At the end of the party the bride has a pretty mismatched tea set to take home as a sweet memento of the day. 
• This sort of shower makes figuring out the favors easy! A tin of tea, a strainer and some honey (or any combination thereof) is great with the theme.

Note: Vintage tea cups and old-fashioned long gloves can be found at thrift stores, estate sales, church/synagogue bazaars or can come from one’s own collection—trés eco-friendly! It’s especially meaningful if family members have an heirloom teacup they’re willing to give.
