About five years ago, my mom found a very cute little tea room downtown and took me there. Since then, we've tried to go to tea (and by we, I mean my mom and I with various combinations of aunts, cousins and my grandma) every summer. Just because there was a wedding this summer, I didn’t want to break the tradition… I wanted to share it with others!
The tea house has a hodgepodge of chairs at all of their tables, but they are all painted the same color and have the same seat cushions so it all works. They have tons of cool art from local artists and all kinds of tea and teapots for sale., and each teapot is delivered with a homemade cozy to ensure your tea is hot from start to finish. They even have sugar cubes on every table, which my photographer really loved…
They also make everything from scratch and a lot of the fruits and vegetables they use come from their gardens or from local farms. The food is amazing and the homemade pastries are the perfect finish. Instead of the normal lunch they serve, the lady who own the tea house told me that she could do a brunch menu with quiche, fresh fruit and of course tea and pastries. This sounded like the perfect bridal brunch, so I went with that! The spinach quiche was SO fresh and gluten free, which meant my aunt was actually able to eat with us. The fruit was amazingly fresh and the pastries did not disappoint!
It was a great way to “officially” start the day and although I did grab a quick breakfast, there’s no such thing as eating too much on your wedding day… especially when you can’t be certain when the next time is that you’ll eat. Here are a few of Catie’s great group shots from the bridal brunch…
