A bridal shower tea party that would make even the ladies of Downton jealous

Tea infused cocktails, soft English garden arrangements, and scones took centerstage at this bridal shower inspiration shoot styled by the talented team at Blushing Richmond. The Poe Museum's courtyard provided the perfect backdrop to add feminine touches like pink taper candles, decorative glasses, and a whimsical bouquet of local flowers in shades of blush and lavender.

Cafe lights strung across the bricks and garden of the Poe Museum bring a modern sensibility to the aged setting. Mismatched chairs complete the vintage garden party look. We enjoyed being able to help set the stage for so many talented artists and vendors with this inspiration shoot. What better way to celebrate your than to put on a dress, grab a vintage glass, and say "Pinkies up!"
