It's no secret that a vintage teacup is a fine thing, and simply saying the word tea party is enough to conjure up childhood memories of white rabbits and dainty cupcakes. That's why using a teacup for a centrepiece for your party table is such a cute idea. You can make your arrangement as clever, quirky or quaint as you like. Find the teacup of your choice, add a saucer (matched or otherwise), tie a ribbon around the handle of your cup, and pop in real of faux-flowers. I made this Easter centrepiece out of a bunny-cup I had as a child. It's handle broke many, many years ago, but a sky blue ribbon hides the worst of it. The saucer, though nothing like the cup has yellow roses which seem to work, especially when you add a fabric rose and some gold and green eggs around the cup.
A teacup centerpiece would also work for a baby shower, or any girly-party. You can even use the teacup centrepiece as the starting point of your party; looking to its patterns and design to inspire your color and motif choices you can use elsewhere in your decorations.

For now, I'm off to playgroup with my two pink princesses!
