24 Modern Tea Party Decor And Food Ideas

modern tea party decor and food ideas

A tea party is usually associated with something vintage or Alice In Wonderland-style but what if you want something modern? Today I’m sharing some inspirational ideas to rock a modern tea party with chic.

Modern Tea Party Décor

Opt for stainless steel cupcake and dessert stands, for hexagon coasters and chargers because geometric décor is very popular and screams modern. Patterned tablecloths and table runners, wooden cake stands, metallic vases and centerpieces as metallic décor is also very modern and trendy. As for cups and plates, try plain white ones or go for transparent pieces because it’s a modern tea party and everything should be laconic. I totally love the idea of using an acrylic dessert table, your desserts will be floating in the air!

Modern Tea Party Treats

Opt for cool, tasty and modern-looking treats. The two trends popping right now are bite-size food and individual cakes – everything is going to differentiating fillings and toppings and serving every guest his or her own cake. Bite-size cupcakes, sandwiches and desserts are right what you need, individual cakes and whimsy edible cups with chocolate. Don’t forget the tea: offer your guests various kinds of it, from usual black to herbal or floral tea.
