Quintessential Afternoon Tea Inspiration: Perfect for a Micro Wedding

Set in Hendall Manor, a restored 17th century stone barn in East Sussex, our collaborative shoot showcases local suppliers and brings together our interpretations and provides inspiration for a modern take on the quintessential afternoon tea, and an alternative, more relaxed option for a very modern wedding breakfast.

Quintessential Afternoon Tea Inspiration: Perfect for a Micro Wedding

Vintage style white on white, with shades of pale pink and subtle greens, all depicted in the beautifully chosen flowers, echoing the vintage feel and flowing from the table to our gorgeous backdrop.

Hints of bygone days, with vintage glass and china, and a modern ¾ length bridal dress reflecting a style from the 1950s.

The use of a framed backdrop, grazing style food table and the fresh styling help create the feel of a relevant, relaxed, and intimate wedding.

Personal touches help create the perfect day for a small and intimate wedding and the perfect couple.
