Afternoon Tea Canapés and Sharing Pies
This reception had a very English feel to it. Pimms was served on the lawn behind the manor house, and afternoon tea in miniature was passed for the guests to nibble on: finger sandwiches, mini quiche Lorraine, leek & parmesan tartlets, mini scones with jam & cream.
A walk down the perfectly manicured lawn led to the marquee set on the edge of a wood, where the family style wedding breakfast was served.
