Fancy Like “Love Shack Fancy” Pink Tea Party

12/07/2024

If romance had a palette, this Dallas-Fort Worth soirée would be its masterpiece. A stunning Love Shack Fancy inspired party was drenched in 50 shades of pink and set the stage for an enchanting celebration that was nothing short of magical. Every detail paid homage to vintage and modern charm, exuding sophistication and whimsical femininity.

Dixie Does Vintage was thrilled when “Partys By Erica” reached out and asked us to help be a part of this special Dallas birthday celebration. Huey Family Photography was there to beautifully capture all of the party highlights’.

The heartbeat of the party was the long table set for 36 guests featuring a gorgeous collection of vintage pink rosebud patterned china and delicate porcelain teacups in assorted patterns. The antique china was from our Dixie Does Vintage’s “50 Shades Of Pink Collection.” Each place setting felt like a journey into a bygone era, steeped in the charm of a refined English garden tea party. Custom scalloped menu cards at each place setting were designed by Magnolia Boone Paperie. The linens were from Love Shack Fancy’s home collection. Delicate pink etched glassware was provided by Posh Couture Rentals.

Nothing says Love Shack Fancy quite like garden roses, ranunculus, and peonies in shades of pale pink and white. Park City Petals designed and arranged the fragrant blooms in Dixie Does Vintage antique chintz china vessels which included charming teapots, greek goddess busts, and petit china egg cups and bowls that perfectly complemented the pink aesthetic. The florals were abundant but never overwhelming, creating a soft, natural garden vibe that elevated every corner of the party.

A giant pale pink balloon bow greeted guests, and a large custom pink velvet bow was mounted on the wall of the dining area. Both were designed by Party by Erica.

Dixie Does Vintage provided vintage style pink champagne flutes that sparkled like jewels beside a retro-inspired crystal punch bowl that served tasty mocktails and acted as both centerpiece and conversation starter for the arriving guests. The delicious brunch was provided by caterer The Food Company. The unusual Greek Goddess floral centerpieces in a shade of pink were inspired by Bridgerton and added a playful touch to Brunch.

The Dessert Bar was a confectionery dreamland. Pale pink macarons by Macs By Seya sat alongside meticulously frosted cookies shaped like bows, hearts, and vintage-inspired designs from East Dallas Cookies. Pink chocolate-covered strawberries from Strawberries by Ali and thumbprint cookies from One Pink Cookie were displayed. A gorgeous vintage-style cake from Daisy Cakes Dallas perched proudly atop a peony-pink cake stand, and was a vision of edible art. The vintage rosebud china made another appearance on the dessert bar, presenting treats on large, exquisite platters. Tiered trays and Plate Stands from Dixie Does Vintage in cut crystal, gold, white-and-pink china, and floral chintz patterns added layers of beauty, as if each dessert was a jewel displayed in an heirloom showcase.

This 50-shades-of-pink celebration captured the essence of Love Shack Fancy with vintage elements, sophisticated details, and an overarching sense of whimsy. From the Dixie Does Vintage’s carefully designed dessert barand tablescapes to the stunning floral arrangements, every aspect of this Dallas-Fort Worth gathering felt like a page from a storybook or a setting from Bridgerton.

Host An Exquisite Bridgerton Inspired Party

06/30/2024

Inspired by Bridgerton? Want to be the TALK OF THE TON? Step into the world of Regency-Era elegance and host a Bridgerton Themed Party, where the charm of authentic vintage aesthetic meets modern-day sophistication.

Hosting an event for your TON calls for meticulous attention to detail. Dixie Does Vintage offers a treasure trove of authentic vintage and antique items to set the perfect scene. From antique teacups sets to vintage china, teapots, glassware, and Grecian bust statues every element can evoke the grandeur and grace of the Bridgerton series. Here’s how to create a unforgettable swoon worthy Bridgerton Tea Party experience. Ruet Photo captures the some modern day Diamond Members of the ton at the Olana venue wearing new frocks from the Revelry Modiste.

Begin with the essentials: the teacups and saucers. Dixie Does Vintage boasts an exquisite collection of authentic antique luxery china teacups and saucer sets that capture the essence of the era. Each piece, with its intricate designs and delicate craftsmanship, serves as a nod to the opulence of the Bridgerton world. Pair and layer vintage china plates from the Dixie Does Vintage “50 Shades of Pink Collection” or the “Chinoiserie Blue and White Collection” to create a cohesive curated look. The subtle variations in patterns and colors add a layer of authenticity, allowing each guest to feel like they’ve stepped into a Regency-era drawing room.

To elevate the tablescape, consider using velvet tablecloths in shades of blush, mauve, rose or white. These rich colors create a luxurious backdrop that contrasts beautifully with the vintage china. Complement the tablecloths with velvet napkins in contrasting hues to add depth and visual interest. The tactile quality of velvet also adds a sensory dimension, enhancing the overall experience for your guests.

For table centerpieces, think outside the box: Greek Goddess & God Busts that double as floral vessels to serve as stunning centerpieces. Mix classic flowers like roses, peonies and lilac’s with modern blooms to create a visually striking centerpiece that bridges the old and new. DIY, use a florist or allow Dixie Does Vintage to build these centerpieces.

Incorporating modern elements into a Bridgerton themed party while preserving vintage charm is all about finding the right balance between old and new. Some strategies to achieve a Bridgerton vibe are, flatware choice, glassware choice, and regency era teapots are crucial in completing your regency tablescapes. Dixie Does Vintage offers a selection of pressed glassware and teapots that perfectly complement the antique china teacups and plates. The intricate patterns of pressed glass catch the light beautifully, adding a touch of sparkle to the table.

Consider the addition of a gold candelabras, brass candlesticks , or a brass champagne bucket to the table for a romantic glow. Mix vintage and modern table linens or accessories. For example, use sleek, minimalist flatware and colorful pressed glassware alongside vintage china plates and teacups. Lady Whistledown would approve the addition of some whimsical greek god figurines as party favors. This juxtaposition highlights the beauty of both styles and creates a unique tablescape.

Consider adding modern pink, red, or antique brass candlestick holders to your tablescapes. Spiral tapered candles and bows add a fun touch.

While traditional finger sandwiches, scones, and pastries are a must, consider adding modern culinary twists. Include gourmet variations of these classics or incorporate contemporary food trends like mini avocado toasts, smoked salmon blinis, or artisanal cheeses displayed on tiered tea trays. Use two and three-tier tea trays to display an array of delicate finger sandwiches, scones, and pastries. The tiered trays maximize table space and create a visually appealing presentation that invites guests to indulge.

Incorporate personalized elements using modern techniques. Custom laser-cut place cards or digitally designed menus can add a personal touch while maintaining the vintage aesthetic. Ensure these elements are styled in a way that complements the overall theme.

Elevate your Regency-Inspired Event with Dixie Does Vintage’s exquisite collection of Grecian-style Floral Busts or Statues.

Finally, add the finishing touches with carefully chosen décor and small details. Consider adding a tea cart, and florentine trays to add an extra layer of regency charm. Soft, classical music or Bridgertons soundtrack playing in the background will set the perfect tone, transporting your guests to the elegant world of Bridgerton.
