There are so many great ideas!!
Pinterest is one of the many places i get my inspirations, but definitely it is by far the site that i love the most and is the most addicted to :)! I have way to many pins that are saved on my "Tea Party Inspirations" board so i won't even try to bomb-bard you guys with all the ideas here, but if you like the ideas here, but want to see even more beautiful ideas, then please check out my "Tea Party Inspirations" Board on Pinterest, here is the link - http://www.pinterest.com/candygirl5858/tea-party-inspirations/ - Have fun! :)
The Walmart close to my home has fabric like this for only $1.00 per yard, which would make this look incredibly affordable -- and as for the chandelier lights, all you need to do is find cheap vintage hanging lamps with their shades, remove the fabric from the shades and get clear mardi gras beads to hang on the wire shade forms. Affordable with a Luxurious finish!!
Easy, Easy, Lemon Peasy -- cheap colored sheer fabric covering a balloon and add some cute dollar store flowers to the bottom tied with cute cute ribbon and done!
Ever come across your drawer on beautiful stamps that you haven't used in forever and wonder what else are they good for? Well - Now you can have another reason to pull them out besides making pretty paper, they can also work when stamping cookies with edible food coloring! Wilton makes a nice thick, dark black food coloring- make your cookies, wait for them to dry and then get a damp paper towel soaked in black food coloring and use your cleaned stamps to make the cutest tea party cookies ever!
I thought these were so adorable -- these are simply the best way of giving a taste of what is to come if they come to your tea party! These are 100% mail-able, they are sponges that have been painted to be like cake, then the frosting is colored caulking which hold the sponges together. Lastly, all you need to do is glue your invitation to one side of the fake cake and mail it off to your guest!
I love moss!!! Natural green textures in the decorations of any tea party i think are a necessity. I know the dollar store carries fake moss that you could glue onto a runner to get this look, or -- there is a moss paint that you can make - ( link to the moss paint recipe http://www.pinterest.com/pin/95912667035374358/) I'm sure if you painted the moss paint on cheap drop canvas fabric it would grow and thrive just fine - and would definitely impress guest that they are sitting at a table with a living moss table runner :)

Simple Elegant Touches w/ Tissue Paper & Streamers
Idea found at:
These are round candies that you can find anywhere in stores, but they are wrapped in a bit of colored streamer paper and tied off with little bows -- it gives a soft and uniformity to your candy, easy and pretty! I love the oncewed.com site -- beautiful ideas, and step by step tutorials for almost all of them!
Idea found at:
These cute tissue paper pom poms are a Martha Stewart creation, they add cute whimsy to any party, and can even be lighted for an outdoor event. The site above has a step by step tutorial on how to make these and a video on how to light them. Love it!
Idea found at:
Great tissue paper flowers that can top boxes, or fill vases, or hang on railings -- tissue paper is so cheap and easy to find! The site above gives a step by step tutorial on how to succeed in making your own tissue paper flowers, have fun!
The gorgeous large poms are visible to all the party guest when sitting on a cool wooden post, and i like that they are up high enough that when the guest are sitting at the table they can still see each other -- it's a perfect center piece that doesn't get in the way!
And -- Although i know these are not made up of tissue paper, i think you probably could get the same effect when using tissue paper instead of dyed coffee filter papers -- they look so delicate and beautiful, they are definitely worth the work to make.
