It's only a teacup; or is it? You see them most days and use them to have
your Earl Grey on a morning to get the day started; that cup of tea that gets
you through a hard day or the last cup to relax you curled up with a book
before bed.
But have you thought about the teacup and
what other uses it has? To me a little
teacup has many a different role. As a china lover and stylist I'm going to let
you all into a secret of how the humble teacup can play a part in your big day.
Their form, decorativeness, and most of all
darn right prettiness all lined up in a row can make a fabulous statement
giving a table at your reception a vintage twist. Bringing an element of delicate colour that
can mix extremely well with any scheme creating an relaxed feel.
You can place a teacup at each setting
filled with favours for your guests, or to attach their place names, or maybe
use them as a planter so each guest can take it away and cherish.
Your dessert can be served in them; from cupcakes or ice
cream, to sumptuous mousse ~ most decadent.
They can simply be used as a table
decoration or grouped together as a table centre filled with flowers.
So next time you take your teacup down from
the shelf on a morning, just stop for a while and wonder what else that little
teacup can do!
