Sweet Garden Tea Party Birthday!

SWEET Garden Tea Party Pictures + Inspiration!

Hosting little tea parties was one of my favorite things to do as a little girl. There is just something so perfect about sipping tea and eating yummies. This darling garden tea party was designed by Lauren Haddox Design. Sweet Emery’s birthday party is one to remember! Lauren styled the party with Emery’s grandmother – Mimi- who designed all the floral arrangements. How speical! And they’re so gorgeous. The sweet little party gals even wore garden hats. Cute! Lauren shared a few details with us:

“As guests arrived, they walked through a deco mesh butterfly arch. We hung tissue pom poms and honey comb balls from tent and had little white tables set for tea. The girls sipped pink lemonade from a variety of china patterns. They were served finger sandwiches, veggie cups and fruit kabobs. Cake balls, petit fores, and chocolate covered rice krispy treats were served for dessert. This is a great age for arts and crafts. It was so cute to watch the girls create cupcake wrapper flowers and watercolor butterflies. A white lace garden hat sat on each chair for the girls to wear during the party and take home with them as a favor.”

I’m so ready to host a little tea party now! And another thing I love? The colors! You don’t have to pick 1 or 2 colors. Parties can be colorful just like a flower garden – and it’s still so gorgeous! I also love the fabric tablecloth that really adds lots of pops of color and fun to this sweet tea party birthday! The party activity - creating cupcake wrapper flowers and watercolor butterflies - was also perfect for this age and gives the kids something to take home from the party!

Happy Birthday to Emery!
