For Romance Consider a Victorian Tea Party Wedding Theme
Think Chantilly lace, aged tea-stained linen napkins, and an
ancient record player spinning out old-romantic songs. If you are
a romantic at heart, maybe you should consider a Victorian Tea
Party Wedding Theme.
You should start with the perfect, old-fashioned invitations to
make it clear to your guests exactly what you have in mind. Use a
lace invitation and tea stain it to give it an authentic, antique
look. Be sure to use the phrase “tea party,” so you guests will
understand exactly what’s in store for them. Ask them to dress in
vintage clothing to set the scene perfectly.

You can either use an indoor facility or an outdoor for a
Victorian tea party wedding theme party. If you decide to be
outdoors, find a pretty location with plenty of green grass and
flower gardens. If you choose to hold your wedding party indoors,
be sure to select a place that has a quaint look to it. A modern
looking building just wouldn’t do for a party such as this.
Your wedding tables should be decorated with lace, and include
silver tea trays on all of them. You should use fine crystal tea
cups and the accompanying pieces to complete the look.
Since it is a tea party wedding theme, your buffet should include
food that is generally served with tea. Sconces, cakes and
pastries are ideal.
You shouldn’t even consider wearing anything but lace—and lots of
it. Combine it with a perfect string of pearls and your hair swept
up in a complicated knot. Your bridesmaids should wear either
velvet or a light spring fabric, depending on the time of year.
Your groom would be perfectly suited in a crisp linen suit.
The use of candles for your Victorian wedding decor would be
ideal. You can include them on all of the tables, and in addition,
line your wedding walkway with short, white votives for a dramatic
look.
Music will be an important part of your Victorian wedding tea
party. If you will hire a band, make sure that they are familiar
with the music of the times, and the same holds true for a DJ. You
may have to search out the songs on your own and bring along your
own collection of music.
As far as gifts for your wedding party, what better thing to give
in a Victorian wedding theme party than tea? Find beautiful
containers that have an antique look to them, and then fill them
with precious tea cups and herb tea. Offer your wedding guests a
package of perfectly selected tea to take with them.
Your exit should be done with all of the grace of a fine Victorian
lady. Get into your horse-drawn carriage with help of an extended
hand from your groom, and then blow a kiss at your guests!
