A Picnic Inspired Kitchen Tea

Monday, April 4, 2011

So I thought I'd share some pictures from the Kitchen Tea (Bridal Shower) that I threw for my friend Jess just before she got married. Jess loves nature so I decided to go with a picnic theme and have it in Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens. My friend Jen co-hosted with me and we spread out picnic blankets for the guests.  On each blanket was a basket filled with  fresh bread, hummus, fruit and cous cous salad. Iced tea and brownies were also served. I decorated an old wheelbarrow and used that to hold all of the presents (unfortunately I didn't get a good picture of it). And my friend Amy greeted each guest at the entrance with some starched flags and led them to the picnic site. It was a beautiful day. Hope to share some of her wedding pictures soon!
