Set Your Table with Flair--Spring Tea

I've always loved the idea of the English high tea. Perhaps it has to do with my love for Lewis Carroll as a child. Nevertheless, here is how I incorporated some adorable finds into a lovely setting for a tea brunch in the garden. Here are a few shots of the table, sans linen. 














Centerpiece.    I chose blooms of soft green and white; these colors epitomize garden for me.








Closeup of the plates.  I just love these butterfly dishes, I think they are darling for springtime!



The setting.



To give an outdoor setting a more rustic feel, you can add unironed linen.  Not ironing the linen provides an antique feel for this setting.
