Figure A--The elegant touches for a Victorian Christmas tea start with the invitations and extend to the tree ornaments, door bouquets and place settings. Figure B--Make an inviting door bouquet to welcome guests by combining roses, pine and berries in a cone made from anaglyptic wallpaper and highlighted with a sheer ribbon.
Figure C--Decorate in the room in British tea style, with light pastels and floral colors instead of traditional Christmas colors. The centerpiece is the table, draped with both floral print and solid color tableclothsFigure D--An antique teapot surrounded by a fresh floral arrangement makes for an elegant centerpiece.
Figure E--Add Victorian touches to the mantel, too. Arrange flame resistant garland along the mantel, and add pink and white votive candle, tassels, lace and berries. For homes without a mantel, try this scheme around doorways or along banisters. Figure F--Don't forget to trim the tree with Victorian style. Use a variety of miniature teacups tied with velvet ribbons, ornaments with Victorian themes, garland made from wired ribbon and lace doilies filled with potpourri that guests can take home.
