Tea station
A tea station where guests can sample different types of tea! Isn’t that one of the coolest ideas you’ve ever heard of? It will be a tea lover’s paradise, for sure. Offer a variety of tea flavours and types, including herbal, green, black, and white teas. You can also adorn the tea station with some tea accessories, such as teapots, cups, and saucers, to make the experience even more special. This would suit both a modern wedding as well as a traditional one. You could make it more desi (Earthem terracotta, brass) if you are going for the latter. The more desi concept is normally named as Chai Tapri. This concept has specially become a hit in destination weddings because such Chai Tapris or Tea Stations keep the guests together while they enjoy the different teas and chit- chat with their family, friends and near and dear ones between the rituals and ceremonies.
