Fall Tea Parties
After the enjoyment of outdoor tea parties, it's time to bring the party indoors. Your party and home decorations will represent the colors of Autumn. That's usually the changing leaves colors - reds, oranges, yellows. The final harvest for most farmers are also represented in these colors. And pumpkins make up a big part of that final harvest.
This is a time to use a pumpkin teapot. Pair it with solid colored tea cups in a color that picks up something in your teapot or decorations. Like red, orange, even green for the pumpkin vine.
Your tea choices should also reflect the season. Apple and cinnamon teas make great choices for your guests. Don't be afraid to go with darker teas. They warm up colder guests very nicely. Of course, you'll want to brush up on how to brew the perfect pot of tea.
If children will be part of your tea party, don't forget to help them enjoy it too, with their own little tea sets.
Use Pumpkin Teapots for Decorating, too
Even if you're not planning a Fall Tea Party, pumpkin teapots make a great decorating item. Here are some suggestions for you.
- Set a pumpkin tea pot in the center of your table. Arrange some silk Autumn leaves around it.
- Create a grouping on a prominent shelf or furniture top that includes your pumpkin tea pot and several complementary tea cups around it.
- Place your pumpkin tea pot on a side table with a single tea cup and cloth napkin next to it, as though preparing for a small tea service.
