Spring is just around the corner! Although it hasn’t yet sprung in Chicago, the days are getting longer and today I didn’t wear a scarf! With that in mind, I went on the hunt today for light and fun table settings that are perfect for one of my favorite types of weddings – brunch receptions.

Brunch receptions have several great qualities – they are FAR cheaper than their evening counterparts and they are more casual and intimate. I love these ideas for brunches:
Drink Flags – fun, chic, easy to DIY, and perfect for your brunch lemonades or Long Island iced teas.

Luggage tag place cards – playful, useful and they double as favors!

Individual cakes – instead of a large formal wedding cake, choose individual portions.

Serve crepes! Or better yet, have a crepe station where people can choose their sweets or savories.

So if you’re on a budget (or even if you’re not!) rethink having that early morning event. There’s tons of possibility.

PS – Obviously all of these ideas are also perfect for your day after brunch or bridesmaids luncheon!

So pretty! Makes me want to have a tea party!! If I ever get married again, I would have a brunch, but these are such great ideas- I will pass them along to my clients.
I’ve slightly regretted not having a brunch wedding. It would have been smaller and require less decisions. It just seems like there would be less pressure to have fun too.
BRUNCH is so original, classy and beautiful. Much cheaper also!!!
We are planning a bruch for our november wedding with violins playing. Cannot wait
