As summer quickly goes by, it has been top of my mind to have more garden brunches for not other reason than to just enjoy every moment of being outside while we can. Hosting can always feel so overwhelming, but I promise this was so much fun, and very easy to do if you have everyone bring something to share. Also, most of the items I had myself, and only bought a few things to finish out this summer time tablescape.
Embrace the Charm of Thrifted Treasures
Thrifted place settings bring a touch of nostalgia and individuality to your table. I love summer tables because the pattern mixing is so much fun. Gingham or stripes (or both!) with florals is my favorite thing to do. I love to play with all the summer colors because it just adds so much happiness to the setting.
Floral Dessert Plates: Vintage Lenox, thrifted
Floral Blue plates: All thrifted
Chairs: Thrifted
Floral Vase: Thrifted
The non thrifted items were the tablecloth which is actually two curtains. I could not find a green gingham tablecloth that wasn’t insanely expensive. I went into H&M Home, and found these on clearance for $19.99! The napkins were a mix of Hearth and Hand, and Anthropologie.
I made this very easy for meal prep, and both of these recipes are so good! The croissant casserole you could easily make ahead of time and leave it in the fridge overnight, and the frittata was so quick to put together. I also added home made whip cream to the french toast which I highly recommend.
