Pink & Turquoise Tea Party {Decor Inspiration}

Posted on March 6, 2012 by Nicola in Be Inspired

When one of the finest wedding photographers in the UK sends you an email, you take notice. And when she submits a fabulous styled shoot, you freak out a little. That’s exactly what Carla and I did here in the office when we saw Marianne Taylor and florist Steph Turpin‘s beautiful turquoise and pink styled shoot.

These two creative girls met after they worked together on a wedding, and they immediately hit it off. Marianne says they have a very similar sense of style and share a love for all things pretty, whimsical and rustic. After working together a few times they got the idea for a day of creating something purely for the love of it. And taking breathtakingly beautiful pictures. Duh!

Marianne tells us about the inspiration behind the shoot: “I’ve been obsessed with a pink & turquoise colour scheme for a while, so that was our starting point. We then decided to go for two different setups, one that was a quirky tea party with a twist, incorporating surprising elements like an antler etc. The other a rustic picnic type party, for which we wanted a cute Victoria sponge cake, decorated with flowers, as a focal point. “

We love every bit of this adorable tea party. This theme and colour scheme could be interpreted for any event from a wedding to a baby shower. Thanks Marianne and Steph for sending this over. It made us very happy!

I love anything to do with food {especially eating}, collecting pretty things, nesting, afternoon naps, reading and pinning. I am terrible at any kind of needle work, and I secretly envy those who can knit, sew and crochet. Freshly picked jasmin makes me happy. If I could choose my last meal on earth it, would be warm ciabatta bread with lashings of butter.

Love the flowers…what kinds were used?

I was so inspired by this post that I used as inspiration for hosting a Tea baby shower for my sister. While mine doesn’t quite do yours justice I think on a smaller budget it can hold its own: http://www.citymom.ca/2013/02/vintage-afternoon-tea/
