Valentine’s Day Brunch!

Valentine’s Day Brunch!

LOVE IS IN THE AIR!!! Valentine’s Day falls on Sunday this year, the perfect day to celebrate with an extra special Sunday Brunch. Whether with your immediate family, or some very close friends, this year, take the time to set up something a little special. This past year was a rough one for us all; we definitely need some love and to show some love, so cheer up your home with a Valentine-themed Brunch.

Brunch is probably one of the easiest meals to plan as you can serve several store-bought items. Add a variety of pastries, pound cake, bread, yogurt and fruits to your shopping list. The only dish you may want to prepare is the main one, like scrambled eggs, omelettes, french toast, croque monsieur or madame, or whatever you enjoy. Make the main dish easy or a little more elaborate, depending on your cooking skills. No brunch is complete without some champagne to toast, so add a little bubbly to your list. Mimosas or Bellinis are perfect for the occasion too.

You don’t need valentine designed dishes; you can simply add pink or red (or both) flowers to capture the season’s style. A ton sur ton pink roses arrangement like the one above is so easy to design. Pick three different shades of roses, remove all the leaves and cut all the stems around the same height. The pinkish vase definitely helped to elevate the theme, but it can look so beautiful in a clear vase as well.

A great way to serve yogurt is by placing them in a bowl full of ice to keep them nice and cold. This one is a decorative crystal bowl that I have on my coffee table, but didn’t it look so beautiful here!? On the side, add some optional toppings for the yogurt, I served berries, but the sky is the limit. You can serve nuts, chocolate chips, shredded coconut, granola, and so much more.

I bought this pink 3 tier stand for my daughter’s one-year tea party themed birthday. They are so cute, and I have used them a few times already. They are perfect for V-Day! However, any 3 tier stand works! This type of serving dish displays pastries beautifully, I tend to use a lot when serving brunch.

I am sending extra love on this year’s Valentine’s Day! I hope you have a day filled with pink, red, hearts, flowers, chocolates and all things valentine!

Dried Hydrangeas and White Pumpkins!

Dried Hydrangeas and White Pumpkins!

Pumpkins are a staple of fall and the perfect addition to the season’s table decor. Paired with one of our favorite flowers: hydrangeas and autumn-themed plates, it created a seasonal flair.

In this tablescape, we went with the small white pumpkins for a more elegant and clean look. We added dried green hydrangeas that we kept from the summer!

The two tall vases on each end of the table gave an exquisite look to the table decor. The hydrangea burgundy and dark green shade of colors complemented the fall feel. Check out our you tube channel for a tutorial on this arrangement.

For the dinnerware, first, we selected a natural willow placemat (we also love this one) followed by a whitewash colored charger plate, dinner plate, and an autumn-themed salad plate. These pieces’ colors all followed a fall hue; carefully consider the dinnerware’s design and color scheme to match the table decor’s theme. We kept drinkware simple and sweet! As for the flatware, we went with a bright stain place setting embellished by detailed braiding, so unique.

The classic white tablecloth got an uplift by placing table runners vertically, not your typical table linen selection. Don’t be afraid to experiment with what you have!
