Romantic Teas

I know I rarely talk about personal things these days, but this news was too big to leave out: I got married on Friday! Here are a few photos of our little ceremony:







As a small wedding gift to and from my lovely readers, I'd love to start a list of romantic teas here. I'll get it started. Please add any you can think of, and let's get this list going!

Congrats!! What a gorgeous couple!

I made Felicitea's Apple Spice Tea for my sister's wedding. Everyone got sample tins for favors and we server it at the wedding - it completely ran out. :)

Every time I have a cup now I think of that lovely fall day my sister married her love.

Yes! Teas need more recognition as special occasion beverages. We couldn't have any alcohol at our wedding, so we went all out with a really fancy tea bar. I was surprised at how many choices there were for us (in terms of people offering fancy event teas-- at least a dozen where we looked on http://www.gatheringguide.com/ec/caterers.html alone). So tea is making a comeback/breakthrough! Good!
