Bridal Shower Brunch

The traditional bachelorette party is fun and exciting: A night on the town with your favorite girls, good food, and most likely drinks. Although fun, that kind of party can really limit who you would like to invite. A great idea that is appropriate for all ages is a bridal shower brunch. Brunch allows for you to share your special moment as a bride with all of the females that are important to you. This doesn't mean that you can't have fun! Have the brunch and then allow the males to come at the end for dessert and an Afternoon dance party. Let your creativity take over and have a themed brunch. It may sound childish at first, but a Tuscan affair with a Persecco bar is perfect for brunch or a dinner party or an ode to the classic movie, Pretty in Pink. Here are some great examples of bridal shower brunch done right!

Tasty Trend: Brunch Weddings

When most people hear the word brunch wedding, they do not think of 'elegant' as an associating word. A brunch wedding allows for creative freedom for an intimate setting that all guests will enjoy. A Saturday or Sunday wedding ceremony and brunch reception allows guests who have work early Monday, the opportunity to have a free evening. A brunch wedding also cuts cost for the bride and groom. Vendors will typically provide discounts because they have two events that day. An afternoon reception provides less competition for venues with other brides, and less expensive drink charges. Here are some creative options for a Wedding Brunch:

Appetizer bites like french toast or miniature cinnamon rolls are a sweet treat to provide guests for the pre-brunch "cocktail hour".

A buffet bar may not sound upscale, but with creativity, and a wide arrange of brunch options, your guests won't miss the sit-down dinner. Options can include an omelette bar, a pancake bar, a biscuit bar, parfaits, quiche, pastries and skewered bacon. A grits bar is a perfect choice for the Southern bride who wants a taste of home. A nice linen and gorgeous arrangements complete the look.

Drink options can include a champagne bar, orange juice bar and mimosa stations. A Bellini station is a unique option, that allows more choices and is also an inexpensive choice. Large glass jugs with lemonade or a punch is a perfect option for the bride and groom who want to refrain from alcohol.
