From there, ideas for the perfect party d\u00e9cor will flow. For small indoor gatherings with an elegant feel, you may want to pull out the good china and the upscale glassware. However, summer often brings with it a more relaxed atmosphere. To keep things more casual, choose a color palette that can be easily expressed through bright serving bowls, glassware, linens and flowers. Lighter shades of blues, greens and yellows, in addition to white, bring an airy feeling to your summer brunch. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marthastewart.com\/1073592\/everything-you-need-throw-beautiful-brunch\"><em>Martha Stewart Living<\/em><\/a> suggests going the extra step for casual daytime parties by adding hanging medallions. The magazine explains that you can hang decorative medallions \u201cabove your dining table or the buffet table for maximum impact.\u201d Set up a drink and appetizer station in an area that is ideal for socializing, leaving the buffet table free for the main event.<\/p>\n<p>With the arrival of warmer summer weather, brunches often move out of doors. This does not mean that you have to go ultra-casual. Start by setting up your serving buffet with plates and platforms to reveal all your menu goodies at different, and easy to see, levels. You can bring your good china outside, or you can use faux glassware and everyday plates. The choice is yours. The editors at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.realsimple.com\/holidays-entertaining\/entertaining\/outdoor-party-planning\"><em>Real Simple<\/em><\/a> note that when serving brunch from a buffet, \u201cguests often take a fresh plate for seconds or dessert, so plan on two or three plates per person.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As with an indoor party, outdoor brunches can benefit from a defined color palette. Outdoor buffet tables shine when you set them with linens, from crisp white covers to colorful runners. The same is true of your dining table, which can be decorated with complementary shades of your more colorful options or a lovely white tablecloth. While you have nature all around you, adding centerpieces or decorative flower arrangements to your buffet or dining table can add a beautiful finishing touch. If possible, choose flowers that tie in with your color palette.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-3 nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0);background-position: center center;background-repeat: no-repeat;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;margin-bottom: 0px;margin-top: 0px;border-width: 0px 0px 0px 0px;border-color:#eae9e9;border-style:solid;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-3 fusion_builder_column_1_3 1_3 fusion-one-third fusion-column-first\" style=\"width:33.333333333333%;width:calc(33.333333333333% - ( ( 4% ) * 0.33333333333333 ) );margin-right: 4%;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:20px;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\" style=\"background-position:left top;background-repeat:no-repeat;-webkit-background-size:cover;-moz-background-size:cover;-o-background-size:cover;background-size:cover;padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;\"><div class=\"fusion-sep-clear\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-top:120px;width:100%;\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-sep-clear\"><\/div><span class=\" fusion-imageframe imageframe-none imageframe-2 hover-type-none\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"5616\" height=\"3744\" alt=\"chalk board menu on table with coffee and croissant \" title=\"shutterstock_171249761\" src=\"https:\/\/bhgrecollection.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/shutterstock_171249761.jpg\" class=\"img-responsive wp-image-9281\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bhgrecollection.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/shutterstock_171249761-200x133.jpg 200w, https:\/\/bhgrecollection.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/shutterstock_171249761-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/bhgrecollection.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/shutterstock_171249761-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/bhgrecollection.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/shutterstock_171249761-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/bhgrecollection.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/shutterstock_171249761-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/bhgrecollection.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/shutterstock_171249761.jpg 5616w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/span><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-4 fusion_builder_column_2_3 2_3 fusion-two-third fusion-column-last\" style=\"width:66.666666666667%;width:calc(66.666666666667% - ( ( 4% ) * 0.66666666666667 ) );margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:20px;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\" style=\"background-position:left top;background-repeat:no-repeat;-webkit-background-size:cover;-moz-background-size:cover;-o-background-size:cover;background-size:cover;padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;\"><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-3\"><h4><strong>Plan Your Brunch Menu<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>When you are designing your brunch party menu, consider the day of preparation. You will want at least some foods that can be prepared the day before the brunch to avoid frantic cooking on the day of the festivities. Otherwise, you have an array of options, from breakfast favorites to lunch classics. Also, if you have a particular theme in mind, the food can often complement that choice.<\/p>\n<p>When you begin sorting through ideas for your perfect menu, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marthastewart.com\/1073592\/everything-you-need-throw-beautiful-brunch\"><em>Martha Stewart Living<\/em><\/a> suggests \u201cchoosing one egg dish and one heartier dish, plus a cocktail or mocktail\u2026\u201d and then finishing it off with fruit salad or pastries. Quiche is always a favorite, and it can be made with delicious options for both vegetarians and meat-eaters. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marthastewart.com\/1073592\/everything-you-need-throw-beautiful-brunch\"><em>Martha Stewart Living<\/em><\/a> recommends incorporating frittatas but warns that they may be time and ingredient consuming, as opposed to an option like slow scrambled eggs. Eggs and bacon (or veggie) casseroles are also a great addition to any brunch table. Want to include a unique spin on traditional eggs Benedict? Justin Chapple offers up a recipe to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foodandwine.com\/recipes\/potatoes-benedict-make-ahead-poached-eggs\"><em>Food &amp; Wine<\/em><\/a> for potatoes Benedict with make-ahead poached eggs that will wow your guests. Freshly made muffins, scones and other pastries are always hit, and seasonal fruits can be made into a tempting salad, perfect as an addition to a plate or as an option for those looking for something lighter.<\/p>\n<p>Do you have the space to set up a warming station on or near your buffet table? If so, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marthastewart.com\/1073592\/everything-you-need-throw-beautiful-brunch\"><em>Martha Stewart Living<\/em><\/a> suggests offering a sweet treat like pancakes, crepes, French toast or waffles.<\/p>\n<p>If you have a small group, and you have the batter ready, you can also set up a station to make waffles or other options on the fly. However, if you are doing the cooking yourself, that may tie you up when you would prefer to socialize with your guests.<\/p>\n<p>For dessert, a yogurt parfait is a delight, as is a traditional key lime pie. If you hit the perfect window, fresh blueberries in a free-form blueberry tart, like the one showcased in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foodandwine.com\/recipes\/free-form-blueberry-tart\"><em>Food &amp; Wine<\/em><\/a>, will have your guests talking for days.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-4 nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0);background-position: center center;background-repeat: no-repeat;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;margin-bottom: 0px;margin-top: 0px;border-width: 0px 0px 0px 0px;border-color:#eae9e9;border-style:solid;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-5 fusion_builder_column_1_3 1_3 fusion-one-third fusion-column-first\" style=\"width:33.333333333333%;width:calc(33.333333333333% - ( ( 4% ) * 0.33333333333333 ) );margin-right: 4%;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:20px;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\" style=\"background-position:left top;background-repeat:no-repeat;-webkit-background-size:cover;-moz-background-size:cover;-o-background-size:cover;background-size:cover;padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;\"><div class=\"fusion-sep-clear\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-top:120px;width:100%;\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-sep-clear\"><\/div><span class=\" fusion-imageframe imageframe-none imageframe-3 hover-type-none\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"6240\" height=\"4160\" alt=\"orange juice being poured in champagne glass\" title=\"shutterstock_1061918711\" src=\"https:\/\/bhgrecollection.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/shutterstock_1061918711.jpg\" class=\"img-responsive wp-image-9291\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bhgrecollection.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/shutterstock_1061918711-200x133.jpg 200w, https:\/\/bhgrecollection.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/shutterstock_1061918711-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/bhgrecollection.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/shutterstock_1061918711-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/bhgrecollection.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/shutterstock_1061918711-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/bhgrecollection.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/shutterstock_1061918711-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/bhgrecollection.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/shutterstock_1061918711.jpg 6240w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/span><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-6 fusion_builder_column_2_3 2_3 fusion-two-third fusion-column-last\" style=\"width:66.666666666667%;width:calc(66.666666666667% - ( ( 4% ) * 0.66666666666667 ) );margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:20px;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\" style=\"background-position:left top;background-repeat:no-repeat;-webkit-background-size:cover;-moz-background-size:cover;-o-background-size:cover;background-size:cover;padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;\"><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-4\"><h4><strong>Mix Your Cocktails<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Along with a selection of fresh juices and water, daytime cocktails (and mocktails) are a welcome addition to your summer brunch.
