Purple Shades of Autumn

Shades of Autumn

Setting a tea table with purple—from the palest shade of lavender to a deep, rich aubergine—is a delightful way to make a statement at your next tea to benefit a purple-ribbon cause. The rich purples of autumn provide an elegant backdrop for our fall-themed tea menu, which even includes touches of the hue in some of the dishes. Your guests are sure to be pleased.
