Autumn Tea PartyHome : Themes For Tea Parties : Autumn Tea Party Getting together for tea is a wonderful way to reconnect with loved ones after summer vacations. With crisp fall mornings, the leaves changing colors, and the garden harvest collected, take the time to celebrate with friends and family before those school and holiday activities. Decorations are easy. Rich golden, warm orange, and burnished red fall leaves, Indian corn, harvest-themed napkins, tableware, and accents set the mood. Photographic Print Your menu can reflect harvested fruits and vegetables also. Offer a tray of apple and pear slices (dipped in lemon juice to keep them from getting brown) accompanied by sharp cheddar, brie, or a cheese-nut log. For entrees, try a quiche in wedges or as mini-quiches. What’s a great choice? Wild mushroom onion. Other possibilities include a mixed garden vegetable, sun-dried tomato parmesan, or a hot cheesy bacon quiche recipe. Traditional tea sandwiches of the season include smoked turkey, apple cheddar cheese, and sweet onion savory tea sandwiches. Of course, scones are required. Here are recipes for pumpkin ginger scones and cranberry orange scones. Other desserts might be fruit tartlets like carmelized apple or huckleberry, bite-sized pumpkin cheesecakes, or hot gingerbread with brandy sauce. Your tea selections can include spicy green chai, a bracing Gunpowder green, or your favorite Sencha. The fall seasonal flavors are so satisfying, that not only might your Autumn Tea Party turn into an annual event, you might end up wanting to have several each year.
