Everything You Need to Host a Beautiful Brunch

When it comes to brunch, your options are myriad: You can serve breakfast dishes, lunch dishes, or a combination of the two. We suggest choosing one egg dish and one heartier dish, plus a cocktail or mocktail. Consider finishing off the menu with a fruit salad or pastries.

When deciding what egg dish to make, take into account how much time you have to prepare and how much time you want to spend at the stove: Fritattas take a bit longer and require more ingredients than scrambled eggs, for instance. Then browse through our favorite egg dishes.

Plan a brunch that's also pleasing to the eyes: A cohesive color palette will do the trick. In this case, we chose an all-white theme for the decorations and centerpieces. These centerpieces are perfect because they have white vessels with white flowers with just a touch of green -- understated yet sophisticated.

These white paper medallions make a big statement without costing a lot of money or taking up much time. Hang them above your dining table or the buffet table for maximum impact.
