I had the privilege of providing a vintage afternoon tea party and cocktail making class for a gorgeous bunch of girls in this Saturday on the North Coast of Ireland.
The tea party took place in a beautiful farmhouse at Mc Shane Glen holiday cottages, the view from the conservatory where we held the party was stunning, a panoramic spread of lush green fields and sparkling sea.
We had our usual cake table laid out with hand printed signage and lovely glass cake platforms, I used the Yashica Box camera and a smattering of vintage French postcards as props to add to the vintage look.
Home made three tier cake stands piled high with delicious treats (also home made – of course)
Luggage labels used as decoration made the event more personal.
Small bunches of flowers in milk jugs made the tables look pretty without taking up too much room.
A cocktail making workshop after the tea party was a fun finish.
