Afternoon Tea Week | Alice In Wonderland Inspired

Afternoon Tea Week | Alice In Wonderland Inspired. Hello friends. So how are you today? Happy Tuesday. Did you know it is Afternoon Tea Week? Today’s post is inspired by Alice in Wonderland.

Afternoon Tea Week is a whimsical celebration and today with a wonderful twist.

Imagine attending a tea party where you explore a fantastical and enchanting world by going down the rabbit hole in addition to sipping Earl Grey.

Afternoon Tea Week | Alice In Wonderland Inspired:

Reminiscent of the Mad Hatter’s tea party, the table is arranged with mismatched teacups, playing cards, and an assortment of oddball, and delicious snacks.

Consider “Drink Me” concoctions, “Eat Me” desserts, and expertly crafted delicacies that appear nearly too lovely to consume.

A tribute to Lewis Carroll’s classic story, the event invites attendees to lose themselves in a delightful afternoon full of wonder, imagination, and, of course, endless cups of tea.
