Wedding Inspiration Board: Casual Brunch

A brunch event is a great idea for a cost-friendly wedding. Venues can be cheaper because of the earlier hours (they can still host an evening event after yours), and breakfast foods are typically more affordable. If you are having a small gathering, check with your favorite local café or consider hosting it at your home to save on additional costs. This is also a wonderful idea for a bridal shower or for a morning-after brunch – something my husband and I did for our out of town wedding guests. For the event, bring out all the breakfast goodies: a mimosa bar, lots of coffee, and donuts. I suggest using warm colors (think: yellows, oranges, and the popular living coral) with gold accents. A few flowers on the table and some balloons in the same color scheme can tie the space together on a low budget. Your celebration will feel cozy and cheerful and will leave your guests feeling bright-eyed and caffeinated. Check out my full inspiration board on Pinterest.
