Tea Party Bridal Shower at the Westgate Hotel San Diego

It’s so exciting to share Taylor’s vintage tea party bridal shower at the Westgate Hotel!

Taylor’s love of all things 1950s and 1960s goes back to her childhood and she’s been a collector of vintage dresses for years.

The Westgate Hotel is the Perfect Location

There isn’t a better location in San Diego for a vintage bridal shower. Custom built in 1970 as a peerlessly chic recreation of France’s legendary Palace of Versailles, the hotel prides itself on distinctively European ambiance. The decor features antiques, Flemish and French tapestries, Baccarat crystal chandeliers, exquisite Persian carpets and heartfelt hospitality.

Vintage French-Inspired Food and Drink

“Being a chef, the food was an aspect I was very excited to be involved in. I had white ambrosia tea stationed at the tables in beautiful tea pots,”

-Taylor

Delicate bath soaps await guests as parting gifts. Right, the lunch menu features four savory tea sandwiches, followed by delicate buttermilk scones and charming three-tiered dessert towers.

To drink, guests enjoyed peach bellinis and an assortment of teas.
