Downton Abbey Inspired Bridal Shower

Modern Wedding Posted: August 27, 2012

The bridal shower is my favourite of all the pre-wedding events and traditions. A girly luncheon, exquisite high tea or even brunch in honour of the bride to be are all on the cards. This quintessentially girly event invites ladies to frock up and delight in an era gone by with freshly baked treats, sandwiches and brewed tea.

If you’re like me, by now you’re probably dreaming of cucumber sandwiches, cake and crème brulee tea. Well you can stop dreaming and start cooking with these gorgeous recipe cards created by style expert, author and fashion designer Clare Press and beautifully illustrated by Alexandra Nea in celebration of Downton Abbey: Season 2 release on DVD and Blu-ray at the beginning of this month.

Use them as inspiration for an upcoming bridal shower or even a casual get together with the girls. These ‘Downton Abbey’ inspired recipe cards are sure to transport you and your guests to the joys of yesteryear.
