Party Inspirations - Moroccan Tea Party - Pink

We have been working on another lovely board of party ideas with the inspiration of a Moroccan Tea Party. We have created two versions of this - a very serene, neutral palette { you can view on our previous post here }and this vibrant, colourful palette of pinks!

This theme would be great for a summer garden party, a bridal shower, baby shower or you could even incorporate some of these ideas into your wedding! Here's our pretty pink palette inspiration board for a Moroccan Tea Party...

> Lots of dashes of pink, from paler tones to vivid pink,

> Add complimenting colours too such as lilac/purple and turquoise,

> Moroccan lamps, lanterns, serving trays, bowls and glasses,

> The signature Moroccan patterns within the serving trays, lanterns and so on will add authentic detail,

> Use lanterns as centerpieces within your tablescapes or as feature points around the party,

> Add single flowers to Moroccan tea glasses for interesting floral additions to your decor,

> Scatter dried pink rose buds and light candles with a Moroccan Rose scent.

Party Inspirations - Glitter Spoons and Cake Servers

We love these glitter teaspoons and cake servers for a party! Perhaps a bridal or baby shower, girls birthday party or a wedding! Sparkly serveware such as these will make a sweet addition to a dessert
table! The glitter is encased within an acrylic shape so they are food friendly and reusable too!
