Define your vintage – Vintage to me means hand-picked, one-of-a-kind and quality. A tea party offers your guests a little escapism; it transports them to a moment in time when life was simpler yet stood side-by-side with glamour and decadence.
Get the right balance – Head to toe is a no-no. You can overdo the vintage theme so pick your star of piece carefully for the crowd to o…oh and ahhh over, whether it’s an ornate cake stand or a gramophone
Choose your location – A party at home is the classic choice – intimate, open and there are no wrangles over closing time. If home’s not workable, go exploring for venues with character. Ask churches, restaurants, town halls, pubs or bars if they have a back room or a space upstairs, especially in your local financial district, which is often quiet at the weekend
Decide on your décor – Setting the mood affordably is all in the preparation and nothing sets the scene like homemade paper bunting. Simply print out images that celebrate weddings, cut into shape and sew together
