Common Mistakes to Avoid When Planning High Tea
While high tea is generally a delightful experience, there are certain pitfalls to avoid:
- Arriving late: Punctuality is crucial to ensure you don’t miss out on any of the exquisite offerings.
- Overdressing: While the occasion calls for a touch of elegance, avoid attire that is overly formal or restrictive.
