Are you celebrating something special this summer? Maybe you just want to have your family and friends over to celebrate the end of spring and welcome the new, hot season? Hosting a summer brunch is an excellent way to get people together while impressing them with your cooking and decorative skills. Below we’ve shares some summer brunch ideas and how you can host the perfect summer brunch.

Plan A Delicious Yet Doable Menu

When hosting any event, you’ll want to impress your guests. Planning out a decadent menu is important, but you want to make sure the foods you choose to prepare are doable.

A summer brunch should include loads of fresh fruit, especially berries, egg recipes like omelettes or hard-boiled eggs, and a dessert or two. Don’t forget to have some juices like orange juice and apple juice available for your guests to choose from.

Set A Beautiful Summer Brunch Table (And The Night Before)

Your table is where your guests will spend the majority of your summer brunch, so make it unforgettable. Besides delicious food, your table should be filled with summer tableware, incorporating bright and bold colours such as blue, pink, and orange décor.

To make things easier on yourself, prepare your table as much as you can the night before. It will be one less thing to worry about and it will help to avoid any last minute rushing before your guests arrive.

Use Fresh Flowers As The Centrepiece

Flowers and floral arrangements are appropriate for brunch at any time of year, but they are especially perfect for a summer brunch. What better way to welcome the warm weather than with fresh flowers? Tulips, daisies, and daffodils are great centrepieces.

DIY Place Setting

Summer is one of the more “rustic” seasons, so take advantage of that, especially when it comes to place setting. Put a flower on your guests’ plates with a nametag, or step it up a notch and make a fun pineapple floral arrangement or a lemon floral centrepiece to really wow your guests.

No matter what the occasion for your summer brunch is, as long as there’s food and friends, it’s guaranteed to be a good time. Keep your brunch simple and remember to prep as much as you can in advance so you can spend more time with your guests.
