The concept of a high tea is oh so British and we absolutely love the idea of sipping on an afternoon tea with some scones. You still have a couple of hours to pull off the best Mother’s Day high tea, so take note and follow these useful tips to plan a day your mom will never forget.

Variety is the spice of life

When it comes to a stylish high tea, be sure to offer a variety of edibles in bite sizes. Think pastries, cakes and finger snacks that can be easily dipped in tea and enjoyed in small portions. If you want to keep things classic, then do note that a traditional tea starts with finger sandwiches, followed by scones with butter, jam or cream, then cakes and, of course, tea.

Set the Scene

Create the perfect ambience and spend some time planning your table decor. Add flowers to bring a little vibrancy, colour and fragrance to your table. Choose complementary decor in similar shades and voila… you have an entire scheme to work with. A high tea is also the perfect opportunity to whip out your prized tea set and fine china.
