Getting everything for an afternoon tea party prepared and looking just how you want it doesn’t have to be stressful. Choosing the best tea sets, selecting the most delicious teas and laying the table in a style that shows off your own individual tastes can be as simple as selecting your favourite teaware patterns. We’ve put together this handy tea guide so you can paint your table with colours and patterns.
When buying a new tea set, it’s best to decide what items you want to buy to create the look you love. Creating your own unique afternoon tea style is easy, just mix and match patterns from collections you like and you’ll have a style that is all your own.

You don’t need an excuse to use your finest bone china, after all, it’s made to be used every day. Your favourite tableware and teaware patterns can be mixed and matched together to create an afternoon tea table setting that’s as unique as you are.

Top tip: Serving cakes and treats at your afternoon tea party? Saucers are a great way to serve small cakes and biscuits, but for larger sweet treats a side plate or cake stand is king (or queen). Opt for a Hummingbird 2 Tier Cake Stand for an extra indulgent touch, or the Wonderlust 2 Tier Cake Stand for a colourful centrepiece.
The best way to make your afternoon tea party that little bit extra special is to serve your tea blend of choice from a teapot. Brewing your tea in a large, colourful teapot and serving your guests will add that focal point to your afternoon tea setup.
Top tip: Want to put that finishing touch to your afternoon tea setting? Sugar bowls and milk jugs can really set off your table with a flourish. The Gio Sugar Bowl and Milk / Cream Jug provides a beautifully simple textured addition to your teaware.
