My last autumn Themed Tea was a Halloween “glam” one called “Be-Witched, Be-Dazzled & Be-Jeweled” held during the month of October 2018. The color black was the dominate decor feature, with silver rhinestones and purple accents. Witches and witch hats, spiders and spider webs were everywhere!
Each place setting had a different black/white/gold tea cup and saucer. White damask cloth napkins were decorated with a glittery rhinestone napkin ring. Witch hat candy favors were made from black glitter cardstock.
Glenda, the Good Witch, welcomed each guest to the Tea. She was constructed from an upside-down tomato cage frame, and clothed in layers of black and purple tulle. A grey wig over her Styrofoam head was topped with a beautiful witch’s hat. Purple fairy lights illuminated her skirt.
The three-course luncheon included a first course of White Cheddar Cheese Soup and Maple Glazed Pumpkin Scone with Spiced “Devonshire” Cream, second-course of Ghoulish Goulash, Black Plum Chopped Iceberg Salad with Plum-White Wine Vinaigrette, and Fly-By-Night Grape Salad. The finale dessert was a Chocolate S’more Parfait with a S’more-on-a-Stick…my inspired idea of putting mini-marshmallows on a skewer stick, brushing on chocolate and then coating in graham cracker crumbs. A chocolate drizzle finished the S’more-on-a-Stick!
Lila, Cristy’s Mom, attended this fun Themed Tea and had her special seat with her own tea tray.
