Pastel Birthday Tea Party

May 17, 2023

It was Easter Sunday and Lourdelyn’s birthday, so family and friends were ready to celebrate! A long table topped with orange, light pink, baby blue, and purple floral centerpieces and light blue candlesticks was set for brunch, and a mint-colored backdrop with balloon install stood tall near the head of the table. A vintage inspired vignette was placed nearby where the birthday girl would later open gifts. Guests began trickling in and grabbed coffee and tea while waiting for Lourdelyn’s arrival. The guys were dressed in their Sunday best and the girls were dressed in floral dresses and fun hats to match the tea party theme. Not long after guests started arriving, Lourdelyn made her entrance welcoming and hugging friends and family. Once everyone was in attendance, it was time for brunch to be served. Our Tea Menu with Cashew Chicken Salad Tea Puffs, Turkey on Focaccia with Sundried Tomato, Mini Blueberry Scones with fig jam, Seasonal Fruit, Deviled Eggs with paprika and chives, Caprese Skewers with Pesto drizzled with aged balsamic reduction, Glazed Pear and Goat Cheese Tarts, Mini Strawberry Shortcakes and French Apple Tarts was on display for everyone to grab and enjoy. Egg, Bacon and Cheese Breakfast Burritos, Egg and Cheese Breakfast Burritos, and Ellie’s Table Chile Relleno Quiche and Bacon Quiche were also served. The menu was selected by Lourdelyn and our event specialist, Sierra, to go with the birthday party theme. Everyone enjoyed brunch, snapped photos with the birthday girl, and mixed and mingled amongst themselves. At the end of the birthday tea party, Lourdelyn cut into her birthday cake, opened gifts, and thanked her guests for coming.
