In Britain, mince pies, yule logs, gingerbread people and iced fruit cake are all traditional choices for festive afternoon teas during the holidays. Pausing for tea can be a very satisfying, fashionable social event. Just ask Meagan Benson for ideas. As creator and local owner of Pretty Lovely Teas, she delights in delivering the hallmark of beloved British tradition to her clients.
Chef Meagan curates all elements of a proper afternoon tea, with linens and décor included, and serves guests perfect tea experiences.
Her packages, spanning full service, buffet service and the holiday-inspired Pretty Lovely Nutcracker Teas, are customized to suit each event, be it a holiday celebration, shower, birthday or special observance. "All you have to do is sit back and enjoy," she promises.
By the way, Meagan met her UK-native husband and co-owner, Graham Benson, when he came to the United States for college. Through Graham, Meagan says she fell in love with all things British, especially the afternoon tea tradition.
