I had so much fun creating this beautiful tea party brunch for girlfriends! I love hosting parties and creating tablescapes and this one was definitely a fun one! Using some of my great grandmothers vintage handkerchiefs and a some sweet teacups and saucers made this event beautiful and elegant. Doilies placed on the back of chairs and vintage hankies used for placemats was a fun and unusual twist on the tablescape. I hope you enjoying seeing how to host a tea party brunch!
