Spring is an excellent time to set up a brunch tablescape and enjoy intimate meals with family and friends! While brunch is generally a more casual setting, we enjoy putting a little extra effort into the tablescape, which is incredibly simple.
Here are our top tips for incorporating the best of spring into your tablescape for a colorful and beautiful brunch!
- A white linen tablecloth to add a touch of formality.
- The meal may not be fancy, but we invite our guests to dress up a little to add some elegant touches to make the event feel special.
- As table runners, we prefer to use a roll of blackboard paper and offer each visitor a piece of chalk or even a little cup of coloured chalk. Since brunch can be enjoyed by visitors of all ages, this is a great interactive decoration to add to your brunch.
- Use everyday white plates and basic silverware to match the tablecloth.
- We like to add a little pop and elegance to our table to bring out our beautiful crystal glassware. While we aren't afraid to risk our nice glassware in front of a mixed-age crowd, younger guests may prefer more easily replaced glasses.
- Place tiny pink florals and cupcakes at each place setting to help tie the whole table setting together and add a touch of whimsical fun.
- Use sticky notes to keep track of what you'll be serving on each platter when you're getting started. It also helps your kitchen helpers understand what will be served and where.
- Even though this meal will be served buffet-style, each dish should be strategically placed so your guests don't miss anything as they work their way down the counter.
- Sort each dish by type: hot food first, then seafood, cheeses, bread, salads, fruits, and desserts. To tie the décor together, scatter a few vases throughout the buffet and by the prosecco bar.
