How To Properly Plan And Host A Bridal Shower Tea Party

In case you want an elaborate party, it is best to outsource the entire preparation to the wedding planner who you have chosen for the wedding. To avoid too elaborate planning and arrangements simply plan a bridal shower tea party, which can be a lot of fun with little confusion or headache. But in this day and age people have very little time for too complicated affairs to be arranged.

A bridal shower is meant to pamper your little girl or your best friend before they begin a whole new life. All weddings are special occasions.
The history of Tea Parties
The other is the "high" tea party where the tea is served with heavy snacks or a meal later in the evening. Most people enjoy snacks being served with tea. It soon spread to all classes and all countries around the world as an immensely popular and extravagant affair.

The British working class, who loved to relish their tea in leisure during breaks, originally established tea parties.
Most of the time the best of linen, teapot warmers, silver ware and china are used to add grace to the party. If the bridal shower is over high tea, use fine silver, scented candles and small dim lights along with mellow music. This lends an air of refined and elegant ambience. But if you like a lot of jazz and dance then you should definitely arrange for a groovy DJ who will rock your party with the latest music and shaking bodies.
Add the personal touch with the bride's name on the special cake and decor. Snacks for the afternoon tea party should be fluffy and tasty biscuits, sandwiches, sweets, teacakes, salads and cookies with very light desserts. For an afternoon tea party, serve in a buffet style with appropriate decorations for the various dishes on offer.
Guests can also narrate various stories and anecdotes on love to celebrate the eternal joy of wedding. Bridal shower games are meant to be entertaining and fun. One other thing that most people like to do at bridal showers is to play games.

You can also make it memorable with jazzy songs and performances for entertainment. Create fantastic favors for the bridal shower with innovative flower and gift arrangement.
The sky is the limit! You can pick from any colors and play any type of games that you think would be something the bride would enjoy. You do not have to stick with the usual bridal shower. There are numerous different styles of bridal showers you can throw.

Choose The Hybrid Tea Rose For A Touch Of Classic Elegance

The Hybrid Tea Rose is a modern rose, the offspring of 2 old timers getting together: the Hybrid Perpetual and the Tea Rose. These magnificent modern flowers grow on long stems and bloom throughout the year. Although this rose gives off only a faint scent, it makes up for this shortcoming with its many petals and tall stature. The Hybrid Tea Rose has been referred to as "your basic rose on a stick." These are the most popular roses to give or receive on special occasions.
A Thorny Issue
You can find these roses in every color of the rainbow, except blue. When shopping, look for roses with tags that read "smooth" on the label. Well, good news -- there are several thornless varieties!

Many gardeners avoid the Hybrid Tea Rose because they're turned off by the idea of thorns.
You Look Marrrrvelous
Plant in the spring. Space your plants approximately 24 inches apart to ensure a good growth pattern. It's much easier to tend to them this way. They are happiest when planted in rows by themselves.

A Hybrid Tea Rose will look fabulous in any garden.
These roses, like most flowers, do not enjoy the company of weeds. Be sure to keep this area weed-free.
Water Generously
Regardless of chosen schedule, if the ground looks dry and cracked, you water at once. Most gardens require a weekly soaking. Hybrid Tea Roses require lots of water during hot weather, especially if the heat is accompanied by dryness.
The mulch will help prevent those aforementioned unwelcome weeds and conserve moisture. Placing mulch around your roses is a very good idea.
Sunlight is Essential
The morning sun will dry up excess moisture and dew, which will help prevent diseases from developing. Roses require a minimum of 6 hours of sunshine a day, including morning sunlight. It's important that your roses get plenty of sunlight.
Most modern roses, such as the Hybrid Tea, live a span of 6 or 7 years -- even longer if the flower has been given exceptional care. Even after pruning, the flower will grow back to this height annually. The Hybrid Tea Rose will likely reach full height in about 3 years.
How to Care for Your Hybrid Teas
In February, when your flowers are dormant, prune your roses. Your first step will be to remove dead branches and damaged canes.
Those are the canes that will produce buds in the spring. Look for lively green canes -- and don't cut them. In colder climates, you'll probably have to cut all the old damaged wood.
In warmer areas, remove any existing leaves from the plant to promote new growth.
Lastly, remove any debris from your garden.
As spring approaches and your roses begin to grow, you should fertilize your garden with a high-nitrogen fertilizer. Now you're ready for spring.
Then sit back and enjoy nature's beauty.
