This past weekend, we threw my roommate a tea party bridal shower at the too-cute-for-words Upper East Side restaurant Kings’ Carriage House, which keeps two upstairs rooms specifically for high tea parties. The room, decked with a mural of the English countryside, was the perfect size for our 14-person high tea. It was a nice change of pace to enjoy my tea in such a lovely setting as opposed to heating up a mug of tea in my half-broke apartment microwave.
We were on the Upper East Side, we were sipping tea. Who are we kidding, it was so Gossip Girl.
The table is set
I just love yellow roses, which in Victorian times, symbolized jealousy. There's your fact of the day.
Reminds me of the tea pot from "Beauty and the Beast." Am I right?
Strawberries and mini crustless sandwiches on the top tier: salmon, cucumber, egg, chicken. Goat cheese tartelettes with mango and tomato (YUM) on the bottom tier.
Desserts! Poppy seed cake, Raspberry mousse gateaux, baby eclairs, lemon curd squares and shortbread cookies
