Our Favorite New Idea: The Getting Ready Brunch

Take two of your favorite pastimes, say: getting ready with the girls and brunch with besties, put them together and voila—you’ve got the sweetest way to prep for your wedding day! Kaitlin of The Every Hostess and Amy Caroline Photography are providing the gorgeous inspiration for us today—from the table set with colorful blooms by Plum Sage Flowers to cutest bit-sized pancakes, a whole lot of pin-able pretty awaits.

From Kaitlin of The Every Hostess… The morning of your wedding day is just as important as the rest of the day. This is the time to wind down a bit, get rid of those wedding jitters and relax with your bridesmaids while you get ready for the big day! As I prepare for my wedding day this summer I have been thinking a lot about how I want these moments to go. I love the idea of a special brunch just for the bride and her bridesmaids to sit down to in their getting ready robes!

Equip with mini brunch bites from Three Tomatoes Catering such as avocado toast, pancakes and a delicious morning cheese board, this brunch is the perfect setting for the morning of your wedding day. For the table setting keep things simple with a soft color pallet of pinks and purples gave the table a girlish feel! I adore these florals by Plum Sage Flowers who perfectly incorporated this color pallet into their design. This brunch is the perfect opportunity to give your bridesmaids a gift for being apart of your special day. I love the idea of a box filled with goodies to spoil your girls from Kismet Crafter. Relaxing bath salts, sandals for dancing later, a water bottle to stay hydrated and a note telling them how much you appreciate them are all perfect items to incorporate.

Focus on being in the moment during this time and enjoy with your best friends! I highly encourage popping a bottle of champagne and a simple mimosa bar!
