There's a royal tea party going on in Blogland in celebration of the upcoming nuptials of H.R.H. William and Catherine (Kate) Middleton
and I have decided to join in on the fun! Check out the details on Laura Ingalls Gunn's blog at www.decortoadore.blogspot.com/2011/02/royal-wedding-wednesdays-high-tea.html
Vintage hats were the centerpiece. The guests, upon arrival, selected their own vintage hat to wear throughout the tea party. More on that later.
The wedding invitation is shown in the decorative miniature plate holder on the right.
Though hot tea was offered, the cold iced tea was the most requested beverage of choice.
Kate and her beloved are shown in the photo to the left.
A miniature cake was prepared from scratch with seven-minute frosting. The miniature china teapot on the top of the cake was purchased in China on a recent trip there. We were told that the teapot design depicted happiness and a long marriage.
Here are a few of the hat choices available for the guests to wear.
The Mother of the Bride and the Mother-in-Law of the bride are shown here. I think the future wife of Prince William might just like that fur number, don't you?

The bride is pictured on the lower left side of this photograph. I hope Kate Middleton is as blessed with dear friends as this Kate is blessed with hers. Here they pose in vintage "bridesmaids" fashions from a little runaway show at the shower.

I'm so excited that you did this! We have to talk more about the royal wedding, Deb. I have a link to send you as well. I love that blog; have you added it to your list? I think I will so I remember to check it.
I adore the tea pot on top of the cake; precious.
Wow, you continue to inspire me in creativity, and now in hospitality! This is the synergy of both!
