A Mommy and Me, Tea by the Sea!

July 12, 2014

Summer is here and the San Diego beaches provide the most pristine sand and clear blue sky, just perfect for a “Mommy and Me Tea Party”! Lindsay’s Tea Party searched high and low and found some “must haves” for your next “tea by the sea”.

IMG_0368A tea party essential is the British inspired facinator. We found the perfect pairing for a Mom and a Toddler at Jill Courtemanche Millinery in Solana Beach, California. Jill brings a young, feminine and contemporary approach to her hats while incorporating traditional techniques and craftsmanship. All of her pieces are created using vintage materials, trims and embellishments combined with modern fabrics, and many styles are produced in limited and exclusive quantities.

The ladies version is called “Fete” IMG_0612 and is an open weave straw cocktail hat in ivory trimmed with a hand made silk peony in ivory and pale pink, open weave straw loops and bow and French net veiling. The retail price is $340.00 and the hat can be made in custom colors as well.  LTP just loves the peony and we often choose these flowers in our many tea table arrangements and settings.
IMG_0397The toddler girls headband is a custom piece which would be available by special order and can also be made in custom colors. The piece is made of petite silk and cotton flowers with open straw loops and French net veiling (and a sweet little butterfly tucked in there). Please note the headband is metal so it’s flexible and within reason you can expand or contract it to fit the child’s head size. IMG_0406
Next, we must talk lace, over at LTP we just cannot get enough lace this season. The vintage look, the soft feel, the elegance that is brought with each see-through piece as it flows and glides in the breeze.
For this beach tea, the girls dress, known as the “Autumn Lace Dress” is designed and made by Kona Mali Creations. IMG_0567 Tutus, headpieces, and theatre have long been a part of Donna’s life. As a former ballet dancer, she lived to wear tutus and beautiful headpieces. Now as a stay at home mother of two prima ballerinas and one handsome little boy, they have inspired her to create timeless children clothing and accessories. In the store she carries a wide selection of beautiful unique and affordable necklaces, hair accessories, tutus, chic inspired dresses and much more for your precious little one! The accessories are perfect for special occasions and just about any tea party!
IMG_0407This timeless off white delicate lace dress has beautiful scalloped edges on the hem and 3/4 sleeves, giving it a touch of elegance. To be as soft as an embrace the interior of the dress is made of cotton lining, which makes it soft and gentle. All seams are surged for durability and a professional finish. This vintage dress is versatile; it would be perfect for a flower girl, a birthday girl, portraits, or any special occasion and also comes in a cream/ivory lace color as well. Please keep in mind the dress was designed to sit above the knee as a mini dress which is fun for for all ages. This adorable dress retails for only $39.95 and has become a favorite of LTP fashions for children.
