Bridesmaids Brunch Ideas

The bridal brunch is the perfect opportunity for the bride to spend quality time with her bridesmaids and members of her family in a relaxing setting before the excitement of the wedding itself. Ideas for the bridesmaids brunch vary from traditional to comtemporary but the best brunches are always kept simple, elegant and relaxed.

the best bridal brunches are always kept simple: It's a party that's meant for the bride to visit with and say thank you to family that may have come a long way. Often the brunch is the only chance for the bride to spend any time with these family members they may not have seen in quite some time.

You don't have to always prepare the bridal brunch yourself, you can hire a caterer or ask the bridesmaids and family members that live close by to bring thier favorite recipe for the bridesmaids brunch as a pot luck.

these recipes and ideas for bridesmaid's brunches come courtesy of one of my favorite chefs, Paula Deen.

Elegant Brunch
A multi-course brunch feels both decadent and civilized — fork-and-knife dishes with the perfect mix of sweet and savory to keep your spirits up through midday. Mimosas (made with freshly squeezed orange juice) or bellinis (if peaches are in season) would be a classic pairing here.



	Pear Soup
	Cheese Strata with Ham and Tomatoes
	Mini-Orange Crumble Top Muffins with Orange Butter
	Mixed Greens Salad with Brown Butter Vinaigrette
	Raspberry Almond Tart
	Chocolate Truffles

High Tea
Keep it classic here with scones, biscuits, finger sandwiches and cake. Serve an assortment of teas, both caffeinated and herbal, and sparkling water with fresh fruit are a great selection for a bridal brunch..



	Simple Syrup for Sweetening Tea
	Smoked Salmon and Dill Egg Salad Tea Sandwiches
	Herbed Vidalia Onion Tea Sandwiches
	Homemade Fromage Blanc
	Cream Biscuits
	Blueberry Scones with Lemon Glaze
	Honey Bee Cake

Dessert
For a mid-afternoon gathering, all-dessert is a good way to go. A selection of sorbets surrounding an impressive yet simple flower and ice centerpiece keeps it light and airy; flourless cake takes care of the chocolate urge. Dessert wines or Port are a great match, or try a punch as a counterpoint.



	Flower and Ice Centerpiece
	Key Lime Sorbet
	Mini Flourless Chocolate Cakes
	Lotta Chocolate Sorbet
	Lemon Coconut Roulade
	Fresh Strawberry Sorbet
	Chocolate Covered Strawberries

Coed
Invite the whole gang for an informal "coed" brunch. Modern twists on classic comfort food are the perfect fit for your girls (and guys!). Cocktails, beer or red wine work well with this hearty fare.



	Caramelized Onion Toasts
	Italian-style Sausages, Onions and Peppers
	Warm Spicy Butter-Poached Shrimp
	Roasted Asian Chicken Wings
	Roasted Potato Salad
	Spring Celebration Carrot Cake
