A Stylish Afternoon of Tea, Art, and Vintage Romance At Branford Arts and Cultural Alliance Sunday

BRANFORD, CT — On Sunday, at 2 p.m., the Branford Arts and Cultural Alliance Gallery will transform into a scene straight out of another era.

BACA is hosting “Something Old and Something Brewed,” an elegant tea party paired with a vintage wedding gown exhibit.

The event promises a blend of timeless style and relaxed sophistication, where guests can sip, stroll, and soak in a bit of history.

Expect all the hallmarks of a classic tea service—fine teas, dainty finger sandwiches, fresh scones, and an assortment of traditional sweets.

But this isn’t just about what’s on the menu.

Guests will also have the chance to wander through the gallery, որտեղ curated artwork shares the spotlight with a striking collection of antique bridal gowns, showcasing how wedding fashion has evolved over the decades.

It’s a setting that feels equal parts refined and welcoming, designed for lingering conversations and quiet admiration of both art and craftsmanship.

And while the afternoon leans into elegance, it also supports a meaningful cause. Proceeds from the event will help fund BACA’s ongoing programs, which aim to enrich the local arts scene and foster a sense of community connection.

The event takes place at the BACA Gallery, 1004 Main Street in Branford. Tickets are $45 and can be purchased at the gallery, by phone, or online at branfordarts.org.
