Blooms for Brunch: Tips for Styling a Feminine Brunch

When it comes to brunch, the focus should be on more: more florals, more delicious eats and treats, and more time spent with special friends and family. A brunch table says, “Let’s sit and relax. It’s not early in the day, but it’s not late either. The day is ours to unwind and reminisce.”

Here are some tips for styling your next feminine and floral brunch:

A Floral Theme

A floral theme doesn’t need to be reserved for springtime only; however, it works particularly well when the freshness and blossoms of spring are already in the air. The Maxwell & Williams Arcadia Range, with its charming, eclectic florals and geometric patterns, is perfect for this look.

Design a Menu

Using watercolours and a combination of printing techniques, create a menu so that your guests are well aware of the delicious food you’ll be serving. Brunch should start with a glass of orange juice or MCC. Be creative with the rest of your menu: it can include a bread course, a hot plated breakfast, fresh fruit platters, and even some sweet treats and pastries. Place all of the dishes on the table or plate and present each course at a time.

Bows Are Having a Moment

Décor and tablescapes around the world are still full of bows and ribbons, so feel free to add a ribbon or bow around the stem of your champagne glass, or tie your napkins or cutlery together for each place setting.

Personalize the Table

Personalize your table by creating name cards for each place setting, whether through painting, drawing, or printing. You can also write a special note for each guest.

Find Eats to Match Your Theme

Keep an eye out for special local delicacies or artisanal products, like the rose croissants featured here. These special edibles can serve as additional focal points and conversation starters on the table.

Fresh Flowers Everywhere

If you’re lucky enough to have flowers or blossoms in your garden, pick and arrange lush, natural arrangements for the tablescape. Alternatively, visit your favourite florist or market and choose an array of fresh flowers—abundance is key here. Consider sending your guests home with some flowers as a parting gift.

Napery and Table Surfaces

If your table surface is natural and complements the theme, set the crockery directly on the table. Or, add more layers of florals by using a floral tablecloth. The trend is to place napkins freely at each table setting or tie them in a natural way. Alternatively, fold your napkins in a unique, creative style!

With these tips, your next brunch will not only be a feast for the taste buds but also a visual delight, leaving your guests with memories as vibrant and fresh as the florals on your table.
