How to Decorate a Bright Spring Tea Party: From Floral to Fiesta Inspired
There’s nothing like the prospect of spring to perk up your mood, right? And what better way to channel that positive energy than to plan ahead for a Spring Tea Party in the brightest, most festive colors! Here, we share our inspiration for a gathering in a garden venue with prints, patterns, textures, and party elements that take their cue from this season of gorgeous, fresh flowers and the flair of a fiesta. Make your choice – or mix them both! (*this post contains affiliate links)
Of course, you must take advantage of the beautiful spring weather by holding your tea party in an outdoor venue. Out on a patio or porch, alongside your pool, in a shaded garden nook, underneath a flower-decked trellis, even on a paved pathway bordered by lush plants.
Then, make it a real celebration of the season with table elements in a rainbow of bright colors, set against crisp white and natural materials. And certainly, flowers everywhere!
Beyond that, we must point out the decorating touches we love in the inspiring examples above:
#1 – To create a fresh, youthful feel: fun wall art, prints or mini posters (best if hand made), mix and match placemats, mini flower bunches balanced on candelabra, colored vintage glassware, and (look closely) blue candied apples!
#2 – Such an inviting sight to welcome guests with: perfect-for-spring green and yellow table linens, a towering floral centerpiece, and daisy accents on chic ghost chairs
#3 – For a bit of a fiesta vibe: multi-colored papel picado combined with flower-print bunting, honeycomb hanging balls, and bright floral plateware
#4 – For a poolside tea party: hints of the tropics like a pineapple canister, blue-tinted glassware and hand-painted goblets and bowls, and natural woven placemats
#5 – If it’s a vintage garden setting you are aiming for: dainty chinaware and tea cups, a floral-print tablecloth and lace accents, pastel bunting overhead, and flowers (from single stems to sweet bunches) in varied vases, vintage bottles and teapots

Mad Hatter-inspired Tea Party in Bright Spring Colors
Thinking about styling your party with a specific theme? Why not a Mad Hatter-inspired one, as we did with our own set! It’s a tea party after all, plus you can go crazy with the colors.
Note how we combined vintage-style tea party elements with DIY touches – like the towering candelabra made from cardboard tubes, the ribbon bows on teacup handles, paper confetti scattered on the tabletop, and faux cardboard cakes that hid party treats and favors!
