Nikki's Tea Series: All In The Details

Nikki's obsession for a good cup of tea is well known to her close circle of friends. Many friendships have been formed over a cup of perfectly brewed hot cup of tea. Not only does the tea have to be brewed to perfection but the kind of tea used is just as important. Any occasion she can set a table to treat friends to a cup of tea does not go to waste as was the case here. Here in the below photos she used two different vignettes for two separate groups of friends. On the smaller vignette she used her nesting tables with Royal Doulton China, some silver objects from her collection, beautiful custom made lace tea napkins that were tied with a satin ribbon and dainty broochby Wildflower Linens. Grand Eclair provided the flowers wrapped in burlap bearing fresh fruit with dahlias in shades of purples. The beautiful backdrop of hydrangeas provided a relaxed, simple and elegant setting. Needless to say tea was enjoyed by all amidst thought provoking and interesting conversation.







On the second vignette a small table was dressed with Nikki's favorite linen Carolyn Lace from Wildflower Linens. The table was placed on the edge of the pool and paired with blue ottomans. Nikki's favorite tea set in blue and white bone china which was actually purchased from George Cinq Paris shop many years ago ( they don't carry this pattern any more ) along with her most favorite Meissen piece, Bacarat stemware, Christofle flatware was simply breathtaking. Since she likes to brew enough tea for all her friends, she likes to use more than one tea pot as was the case with this table. Beautiful spring tulips in bright orange sat atop a group of boxes and the effect was inviting and ethereal at the same time. Good time was had by all amidst lots of laughs.
