Normally I’d just toss this into my “inspiration” folder (a folder, I might add, that is full of photos of puppies snuggling baby monkeys, kittens wearing sailor hats, trouser jeans I’m probably never going to squeeze into, wallpaper murals, an assortment of gowns, color templates, vintage ephemera, and celebratory ideas) but I thought I’d share. Let’s play Dream Life and throw a party so deliciously twee that there are tables numbered with stacks of books and old medicine bottles of flowers. Oh, and toss some tea cups in there for good measure. Preferably filled with gin. I’ll be fully behind that tea party right after I finish cleaning all of those half eaten packs of melted Mentos and used tissues out of my purse. (photo via Once Wed)
