Celebrate Summer with a Backyard Brunch

This past week, I moved in to my new house! Lots of trips to the hardware store and unpacking but eventually I’ll get it picture-ready and share some pics with ya’ll!

The one thing I’m SO excited about this summer is hosting BACKYARD BASHES. I hope to have at least a couple of parties after I get back from the honeymoon. With the wedding behind me at that point, I’ll be ready to plan something else…  What better than a backyard party!

BACKYARD BRUNCH

Brunch is such a fun + casual backyard party to host this summer. Pick a color palette like soothing peach + aqua for a refreshing atmosphere for guests!

Outdoor Brunch Menu Ideas

• Croque Madame Breakfast Cups
• The Best Blueberry Banana Bread
• Homemade Coconut Walnut Granola
• Champagne Punch
• Fresh Fruit Kebabs

You can even use the grill for these (or get the hubby involved + have him grill skewered fruit). If you don’t have aqua or peach dishes (because, let’s be real, not everyone has a rainbow assortment of dishes in their house).. use white or glass! They will blend beautifully with the pops of color from a table covering (use fabric!) and little brunch details (striped straws)!

CHIC LUAU

Invite a few favorite friends over this summer and turn your backyard into a fancy chic luau! Kick the traditional “aloha” celebration up a notch by choosing tropical colors (like tangerine!) and serving up sweet ‘n delish island favorites like chicken + pineapple skewers and coconut sorbet served in a half-coconut. Light up the tiki torches and greet guests at the door with matching leis for a backyard bash sure to please! Don’t be afraid to mix + match dinnerware for a colorful, Hawaiian vibe!
