Are you ready to see how to use a vintage dresser for your next tea party? Let’s go!
As you can see, I started with a simple, antique white dresser. I simply laid a linen curtain across the top to add some soft texture.

Then for the really fun part next! I took 2 large floral bouquets and 3 smaller floral picks and stuck them into the top middle drawer.
Protip: The florals work well when they are able to both drape over the edges of the drawers and fill in the empty spaces of the open drawers really well.

Then, I added varying heigh items to hold the food and add more decor. On the left, I used a vintage basket with a floral corsage tied around the handles.

While on the right I placed a cake stand with my favorite tea kettle on top of it!

Protip: Take the top off of the tea kettle, and fill it with more florals as I did here.

I was so excited to use my wedding china! I still love these teacups and plates we chose 22 years ago.

Next up, some fun gold spoons to stir the tea with. Mixing china and gold creates a fun eclectic look! I cannot recommend this tea more!

Lastly, add the food! Using collected serving ware completes the look. Isn’t the yellow plate and bowl so fun?

My tea party food included:
- Homemade Egg Salad on Croissants (be on the lookout for that recipe in just a few days here on the blog!)
- Fresh Fruit
- Macaroons
- Scones
- Tea
