AN AUTUMN BRUNCH....COME GATHER AROUND OUR TABLE

A Falling Leaf is Simply

SUMMER’S WAVE GOODBYE

When you plan and prepare a brunch for your family and guests,

 you are automatically making their day more luxurious. 

This was actually very enjoyable for me to create

and I certainly plan to use a similiar menu for the holidays!

Perhaps the very first thing to decide upon is The Menu!
I have served this Asparagus, Tomato Frittata in the past
and I knew it was absolutely delicious and easy to prepare,
so this was going to be the STAR of the brunch!
Then I created the invitation and selected the colors
which would evoke the feeling and mood of Autumn.
I selected what pitcher I wanted to use for the florals
and decided on one from my brown transferware collection.



I picked up a few inexpensive arrangements at the grocery
a few days before the brunch.
That's a great tip to save time as you won't have to worry
about your centerpiece the day of the brunch!

I chose to use lovely Autumn PAPER napkins, rather than linen
simply because I wanted elegance, combined with a bit of casual!
And.....it's less clean up!
I layered a few linen placemats and napkins underneath
 some of the foods and beverages.

Now it was time to search the china cupboard for 

fall plates and place them in the center of a rose hip wreath! 

Rather than put the jams in different bowls,
I thought these little jam jars featured a look of fall
and everyone would know what flavor of jam they were selecting.

To save even more time for the chef,

it's alright to pick up a few favorite pastries

from a well- trusted favorite bakery!

I just warmed them in the oven for a bit

with little drizzles of melted butter!

I served a toasted baguette

topped with ricotta cheese and orange marmalde!

You may choose to serve hot sizzling bacon,
but for this brunch I featured
grilled smoked sausage!
Everyone loved that they were "bite-sized!"



Now....for the beverages!
We began our Autumn Brunch with
your choice of Raspberry Bellini's or a
ice cold Mimosa!


 

Perfection!
Asparagus, Tomato, Fontina Fritatta!

Make time to create special moments for those you love.....

I chose my family's favorites for fresh fruits!
Sliced Cantelope and red ripe raspberries!

Show off your Southern Hospitality!

A toast to a delicious Autumn.......

Express your Southern Style....

Brunch can be a beautiful way to begin your day!

“Fall has always been my favorite season. 

The time when everything bursts with its last beauty, 

as if nature had been saving up all year for the grand finale.”
― Lauren DeStefano, Wither

Create a lifestyle of easy, yet special entertaining......

This was a memorable event

to welcome Autumn.....

I hope you leave today with delightful

thoughts of that first crisp September day!
