A mother’s day tea party

There is only a few days til Mother’s Day. Check my other post here in case you are still looking for some last minute ideas. Mother’s Day doesn’t need to be all about presents, receiving presents is great and we all love it, but it can also be a great chance to treat your mum.

I have mentioned before my afternoon tea experiences, at the Sanderson and also at Moggerhanger HouseAfternoon tea is something I love so there is no surprise that my perfect Mother’s Day would be spent having tea and cake. Yes, I love receiving and opening gifts but I also love the idea of spending a relaxing day drinking tea or coffee and eating lots of cakes. There is something nice about sitting down at the table with friends and loved ones and having quality time together.

It’s not necessary to go to a fancy place to enjoy afternoon tea -although of course, afternoon teas at hotels are fab experiences, but you can also enjoy it at home. This is why this week I decided to treat myself and a friend to a pre Mother’s Day afternoon tea.

Sometimes is nice to slow down from our hectic lives and just enjoy a few hours catching up with our loved ones. You don’t need any fancy tea sets or crockery, you just need great company.

Unfortunately I have a mix match of crockery, with flowers and pastel colours, but they look beautiful together. The teapot and sugar bowl are from Portmerion, the cake stand is from Cath Kidston. and the plain cake stand is from Habitat.  Pretty pastels and delicate, small flower prints make these go really well together. You only need nice cakes, chocolate and not much else. What a great way to spend an afternoon.

What is your ideal Mother’s Day? Will you be celebrating with your family?
