Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share on Pinterest Afternoon tea is a refined social occasion—a time for sharing stories with close friends. It’s also an elegant excuse for indulging in buttery scones and clotted cream. The British tradition started by the seventh Duchess of Bedford to tide her over between lunch and a late evening meal has become a signature for luxury hotels. To celebrate the 130th anniversary of the Tiffany Setting, Raffles Makati and Tiffany & Co. have partnered to offer the Will You? Bridal Afternoon Tea at the hotel’s Writer’s Bar. The bespoke Tiffany-inspired afternoon tea includes a medley of savory teacup sandwiches, a three-tier assembly of traditional scones, and pastries with special Tiffany-inspired bridal touches, including an iconic blue box. Guests may choose from a selection of teas or pair the exquisite treats with Champagne. The Will You? Bridal Afternoon Tea is offered exclusively as an intimate bridal shower for eight to those who purchase a Tiffany & Co. engagement ring or avail of one of three luxe Raffles bridal packages from August 1 to September 30.
