Bespoke Tea Parties by Laura

Bespoke Tea Parties by Laura "Life is like a cup of tea, to be filled to the brim and enjoyed with friends." -Anonymous.

My girls and I love to enjoy afternoon tea especially if is in a foreign country and at a fancy hotel. We also liked to host tea parties in my home for family events like bridal showers and graduations. Recently for over a year I had the opportunity to follow my husband monthly to London. After exhausting all the sight seeing opportunities I decided to learn how to offer bespoke tea parties in my

home. I did this by taking afternoon tea whenever and wherever I could and by attending classes where I learned how to prepare tea, make scones, sandwiches and learned the traditions behind taking tea. Returning from our almost 20 years of expat life, I am now excited to offer Bespoke Tea Parties by Laura in YOUR home. I bring all the yummy food, fancy plate ware and of course, very fancy silver tea pot sets! I have several Tea Party menu options available under the Services tab and have reviews both under the Review tab and the Mentions tab. I look forward to working with you to make your Bespoke Tea Party the best it can be!

Afternoon Tea in the Adolphus Hotel’s French Room. Celebrating Mother’s Day!
The coconut lemon scones were full of flavor with noticeable coconut flakes.
The whole grain mustard egg salad was presented open faced on a tiny croissant.
And finally my favorite sweet was the delicate lemon meringue eclair.
As far as the tea itself sadly we didn’t get a choice, yellow tea served with savories and black tea with scones and sweets. ☕️ 🎉 👩

What’s the deal with scones?! Scones are not quite cake, but not really a biscuit or pastry either, scones have a unique texture that’s entirely their own. People always ask me what is the difference between a scone and a biscuit? Biscuits are flaky and buttery while a scone is dense and crumbly Chocolate, nuts, herbs, lavender, currants, etc can all be added to a scone but in a biscuit, no way!
Scones are usually served with jam and clotted cream. But really the question is in what order do you put the jam and cream on the scone? Are you a jam first person, which allows the jam to sink into the scone or a you a cream first person, which allows the cream to form a barrier between the scone and the runny jam?
In my party options, I usually offer the traditional English scone plus another sweet one, like lavender, white chocolate lime, basil goat cheese, bananas foster, grapefruit, triple cinnamon, hazelnut chocolate chip.....really the list goes on and on. Check out my party options under the Services tab and don't blame me if you suddenly get a hankering for a one of the many scones listed. I'm right there with you!!

Have you been on a cruise where they offer tea time? It's usually only on sea days so if you are on a longer cruise you might be lucky enough to have two tea days! Tea time is held in the main dining room from 3-4pm and I always suggest you get there right on time. It's a nice relaxing way to spend an hour and get out of the sun!

Facebook asks what's on your mind....silver tea sets are on my mind today. I have two sets that I inherited from my grandmother. My favorite one and the one I use most often at tea parties is the Oneida Royal Provincial. My grandmother must have purchased it in the 1960s, probably to serve to her bridge club. It's distinctive elegant scroll, scalloped edges and floral designs made it popular back then and one of the reasons that I love it. Another reason that I use it at tea parties is because it is a full set.
48 ounce teapot
56 ounce coffeepot
10 ounce covered sugar bowl
10 ounce cream pitcher
19 inch tray with handles
My other tea set is the Oneida Fiesta pattern and technically I have the coffee set. The Fiesta pattern is also mid-century and definitely carries those characteristics with it distinctive and relatively plain design. As with the Royal Provincial I am lucky to also have the matching tray.
56 ounce coffeepot
10 ounce sugar bowl (I don't have the lid)
10 ounce cream pitcher
15 inch tray with handles
Before I inherited the tea sets my mom had them but I don't really recall her ever using these sets though again maybe with her ladies clubs. As with most things like these it's not something that was used everyday or kept out as a sit around.
When I told my mom that I was starting up Bespoke Tea Parties by Laura she gave me these sets because what's a tea party without beautiful tea sets!?!!
