I want to surprise my Brother and Bride-to-be with a "breakfast basket" for the morning after their wedding. The Bride love tea, so I would like to include a special "wedding tea". Is their any brand that might have a blend named this?
If not, could some one recommend a special blend that would be appropriate for this occasion?
Thanks!!!
P.S. Does any one have another other items to include that would have any significant meaning?

I'm sorry I don't have any information to help - but I wanted to say that I think this is a beautiful idea! How nice of you to plan such a meaningful gift!
I'll be watching for replies too!

Mariage Freres has a blend called Wedding Imperial. I have to say, if she's not into caramelly notes she probably won't like it. IMO it's a pricey (tho' better packaged) version of Vanilla Hazelnut.
Harney and Sons also has a Wedding tea, but I haven't tried it, so can't say anything about it.
The most luxurious tea I've ever had is Mariage Freres French Blue Earl Grey -- tastes good, smells good, looks good. The blue flowers interspersed in the black tea is just so elegant and lovely. Very appropriate for a special occasion.

ETA caution: when ordering tea online try to find out if their stock is fresh. I had a disappointment once when the tea came, a bit faded with age.

When I think "wedding" I think "white"...so I thought of white tea. I found two nice options:
The first one comes in a pretty white tin and has a hint of mandarin orange. It is organic, which is always nice.
The second option is from Stash Tea, and is a selection of white teas in a lovely basket. I have not had these particular teas, but Stash makes a consistently decent tea.
I thought it would be nice for her to have the tin or basket as a memento. It's so sweet of you to put such a lovely gift together.

Stef and Caroline,
Thanks for the help with the tea. I think that I am going to go with the Harney and Sons Wedding Tea. However, I have *totally* book marked the Mariage FreFre French Blue Earl Gray. I think that I am going to order some for May to Celebrate the Month of Mary! :)
I wanted to add, that I just found some Wedding Tea Lights that I think I will add to the basket.

Thanks for the suggestion!
