I had my Bridesmaid High Tea today! Here are few PICS!

Original post by bethsiar

We had it at the Greenport Tea Company. My parents had a summer house there so I had passed it last year and kept it in mind.

They loved it!

I had my bridesmaid high tea today and it was wonderful. I had such a great time, I wouldnt change a thing.

First Jen and Jenny came to my house and karen and buddy and us all jumped into the explorer and took off out east. We stopped at the outlets where I picked up some cute honeymoon clothes and got gas and went to my parents summer house. We hung around there, I showed everyone my china and gave Lana her reader gift so that Mary wouldnt feel left out.

Lana came wearing a big tea hat and suiit, perfect tea outfit. She brought me two sachets and a victorian makeup mirror. It was adorable. Lana, Mom, and Mary and Karen went over to the tea shop to meet Grandma while Jen, Jenny and I waited for Evan's mom and grandma to get to the house. I showed his Grandma the house for a second before we headed out to Greenport to meet up. Diane came in a little while later and I handed out my favors which were little tea bags that said 'Love Is Brewing, Beth and Evan May 30th 2004' wrapped in pink and blue tulle. Everyone loved them.

Shortly after that, I handed out the two Mother's Day gifts and both moms were shocked to get Tiffany earrings. They were so impressed.

Then I handed out the Tiffany gifts to the girls and they were totally shocked. Everyone was so excited as they opened their little blue bags and took out the heart necklaces.

Finally I gave Diane, my maid of honor, her gifts. One was the heart earrings, then the tiara from The Little Shop of Shamrocks, the Tara collection that she loves, and a box of stationary stuff.
Everyone was so pleased with their gifts and kept telling me how I didnt have to do that.

So the trays came, they were three tiers high, the top with scones and whipped cream and fresh jelly, the middle with little tea sandwiches and the bottom with all sorts of pastries.


Here is a pic of a few of my girls:

pics look great...
but what exactly is 'high tea'?



Whew, thought I was the only one!!! I was thinking maybe because of the time of the day (high noon?) but then I saw the pics of the tiered food and thought maybe it has something to do with that. Bethsiar, what is it exactly?

What a great idea! It looks like you all had a wonderful afternoon. Reminds me of my honeymoon, they had high tea every afternoon between 4pm and 6pm.

For those of you that asked, High tea is a substantial meal that includes tea and is served in the late afternoon.
