Royal Wedding: 8 Places For Tea Service In Atlanta

ATLANTA, GA — If all the pomp and heraldry of the royal wedding Saturday morning has you in the mood to dine like a royal, you're in luck. Whether it's a casual tea service or full-on high tea that you're looking for, metro Atlanta has plenty of options.

For added authenticity, we've got a rainy weekend ahead of us here in the Atlanta area, so why not dry off and warm up with a spot of tea while you're warmly reflecting on the nuptials between Prince Harry and American Meghan Markle at St. George's Chapel at Windsor Castle.

If you squint into the rain, some of these Atlanta spots will make you feel like you're having your scones, strawberries and creme and cuppa on the Thames itself.
