Decorate With Flowers

A little goes a long way. If you have one gorgeous centerpiece, you can keep the rest of your table setting clean and simple. Choose a fresh, bright flower arrangement that will give your brunch that airy feel. House them in a vase with a pop of metallic and use coffee table books for a casual yet elevated touch.

Use Muffin Tins

Instead of making individual omelets, pre-assemble mini egg muffins that your friends can munch on. Get creative and add different ingredients to each muffin tin, like kale and caramelized onions or turkey sausage and sundried tomatoes.

Blend Up Smoothies

Take the guessing out of making smoothies by grabbing frozen, all-natural smoothie packs for a perfectly balanced serving of fruits and veggies. Just add the juice of your choice or your favorite base, like yogurt.

Freshly Baked Is Always Best

Stop by your local farmers market or bakery and pick up freshly baked bread. This, along with the mini egg muffins and smoothie, will make for a well-rounded selection. Put it in the oven so it's crunchy and delicious as your friends are arriving. If you want to go the extra mile, whip up a flavored butter.

It's not brunch without Champagne. Prefill flutes with striped straws for a fun and festive touch. Make it even more delicious by adding pineapple juice and mint. It's all about the company, the food, and making memories. Happy brunching!
