After I got engaged, my mom asked me what kind of bridal shower I wanted. I told her I want a formal tea party.
Most of my family lives in Pittsburgh, so they took it upon themselves to plan the tea party. They chose The Inn on Negley for afternoon tea.
It was everything I wanted and more!
We had a side room with a round table that sat the 8 of us. It was very private. When the food came out I was amazed! There were little cucumber sandwiches, chicken salad sandwiches, crostinis, 2 types of scones, cheesecake, strawberry shortcake, and little bundt cakes. There were enough for 1 piece for everyone. The food was so delicious and filling! I usually don't like scones and think they're too dry, but these ones were perfect!
Everyone gets 2 different kettles of tea. Each kettle is about 3 glasses. For the first kettle, I had Wedding Tea (naturally) It was delicious! The second tea I had a vanilla cream. This was great too! I think everyone enjoyed all of their tea. My mom got a chocolate mint that she said tasted like Andie's Candies.
I thought the building and some of the rooms were so beautiful! My family loved the tea and whole experience. We decided to make it a tradition to come here every few years.
I definitely recommend it!
