Beginning October 2026 — The Lovely Tea Parties Experience
Lovely Tea Parties is entering an exciting new chapter, focusing on what makes our celebrations truly special: creating beautiful, elegant, and unforgettable tea party experiences.
While we will no longer prepare food ourselves, you won’t have to figure everything out on your own.
As your Tea Party Event Planner, we can help coordinate with a catering company of your choice or help you find catering options that complement your celebration, menu preferences, and budget.
Choose Your Tea Party Experience
You may rent from our beautiful collection of vintage-inspired china and tea party pieces, including teacups and saucers, teapots, dessert plates, silverware, tiered serving stands, sugar bowls, jam bowls, linens, runners, and more.
Or, you can leave the beautiful details to us.
With our Full Tea Party Styling Experience, we come to your event and transform your tables into an elegant afternoon tea setting.
We coordinate the colors, select the china, arrange the linens and runners, style the tiered stands, set each place beautifully, and add the finishing touches that make the entire celebration come together.
Optional floral centerpieces arranged in our signature white teapots can add an extra touch of charm to your tables.
The result is much more than renting china.
It is the experience of walking into your celebration and discovering a beautiful tea party already waiting for you and your guests. 🌸🫖
Perfect for:
Baby showers • Bridal showers • Birthdays • Mother’s Day celebrations • Family gatherings • Corporate events • Celebrations with friends
Inspired by European tea traditions and our love for beautiful details, Lovely Tea Parties creates warm and elegant settings designed to make your guests feel as though they have stepped into a charming European tea room.
You bring the people you love. We create the tea party they will remember.
