If you’re looking for high tea ideas, or you just love to sip your cuppa in complete luxury, the new To Paris with Love high tea collection from Cristina Re is going to have you experiencing unparalleled joy and rapture. The best part, of course, is that you can win some of it.
As soon as I laid eyes on this limited edition collection, I knew you’d fall head over heels for it. Not only am I taken aback by how much sophistication it can bring to knocking back a coffee and cake, but the aesthetic of this new range is completely in line with one of this year’s big forecasted trends, Everyday Opulence.
The teacup and saucers, mugs, side plates and platter have all been hand illustrated, which makes them so much more appealing if you ask me. Not only that, but they’re made from the finest quality bone china which has been embellished with lustrous 24 ct gold. Seriously, does it get any more high end?
The other thing I love about each piece in the To Paris with Love collection is the versatility. Each item can be coordinated with the array of mix and match Teapots, Cake Stands, Plates, Mugs and other accessories from the existing Cristina Re High Tea Collection. Or, you can simply work them in with your existing pieces at home to create new colour and pattern possibilities.
In Australia, the Cristina Re teaware collection can be found at David Jones and boutique specialty bridal & art stores across the country. So if you’re looking for high tea ideas to make your gathering special, you know where to shop.Personally, though, I’m a huge fan of making everyday moments special, and this is what the pieces in this range do so beautifully.

Audrey Hepburn would have loved this set. So since she is no longer here with us, I will honor her by having a tea party for her.
A gorgeous set to have, to help inspire the Paris furnishings in my house.
LOVE that it’s all the same flirty French fashionista theme but it’s not dull and matchy matchy! Too gorgeous to stay in a dim viewing cabinet – get those macarons on that serving platter pronto and brew a fancy blend <3
Love the Cristina Re set as it is so unique, different and stylist.
Gold detail is divine,
And the sketches so fine!
Shouts class and style,
I’ll be in the kitchen baking for High Tea for a while!
Love that the “To Paris With Love” High Tea Set is frivolous and fun
And that each decorated piece is an individual one
Love that it is so very Frenchy, with a playful air of sophistication
And love that it’s an excitingly unique Cristina Re CREation !
What I love most about To Paris with Love collection are the 24 ct gold embellishments – so very eye catching! The essence of what is Paris is perfectly captured by Cristina. I’m immediately taken back to this beautiful city where I spent and amazing week of my life! This design ensures epic bragging rights at high tea gatherings or would make a gorgeous display in a crystal cabinet 🙂
A beautiful, quirky tribute piece to those of us who love Paris.
If I can get to Paris, at least Paris can come to me
The gold gives this set the opulence I love to recreate in my own high tea parties but often fail to achieve..
