Being in Dallas makes
us partial to the brunch craze that occurs every weekend. It’s a combination of breakfast and lunch that
can occur until 3pm sometimes and has been gaining popularity in the US since
the 1930’s. Brunching is no longer
reserved for holidays or celebrating something, now it’s the perfect excuse to
get dressed up on the weekend and head out the door to enjoy good food and good
company.

Whether
it’s sunny and 75 or cold and rainy, you are sure to find Dallasites dressed to
the hilt and sitting around a table with friends sipping mimosas or bloody
marys. In honor of this tradition that
fills restaurants every Saturday and Sunday, we bring you our P.O.S.H. guide to
brunching or hosting a brunch like a true pro.
BRUNCHING IN
Going
out to a restaurant and having to wait for an hour or more before you sit down is
no fun, so here are some tips to hosting a brunch of your own and skipping
those dreaded lines.
Being the hostess
with the mostess is key! Preparation is
important so you can be more relaxed and be able to enjoy your company.
First, put together a
menu with a combination of items including juice, fruit, pastries, and warm
dishes. Martha Stewart provides a plethora
of recipes here
to help you pick the best options! Our
favorite is this recipe for a spinach
and gruyere quiche which feeds 10.
Second, set up a
mimosa or bloody mary bar or both! Give
your guests options and let them mix their own drinks (making your job even
easier).

Third, and our
favorite part, set a table that is simple, yet chic. We suggest using china with either a fun
print or keeping it low key and simple, whichever is more your style. Also, make sure you have enough champagne
flutes for mimosas and tall glasses for bloody marys and juice. Keep the silverware simple with just some
forks, knives, and spoons and you will be set!
Lastly, decorate your table with flowers that are in season and set a
table that makes it easy for your guests to converse across the table.
We love the tables
below. On the left, the bright colors
make such a statement and are sure to standout to your guests. The table features our Tangerine Round
Scalloped Acrylic Charger, Standard China, Silver Beaded Glass, and Blue and
White China. The table on the right
features a round Rattan Charger and Blue and White China for an elegant and
simple look with beautiful purple hydrangeas.

BRUNCHING OUT
Going to brunch over
the weekend is a fun and classic experience that is made even better when
surrounded by a great environment and friends.
When you see hoards of people crowded outside a restaurant it’s probably
because they are waiting for a coveted table at that particular
restaurant. Our best advice, get there
early to get a seat!
Some of our favorite restaurants
to brunch at include: Taverna, Meddlesome Moth, Del Friscos Grille, BreadWinners Café, Oddfellows, The Grape, and Sangria. This is only a few, but Dallas has so many
great restaurants that offer brunch, as well as, deals to get your Saturday or
Sunday started right. Brunch in the Big
D is bigger and more delicious than ever.

Eater brings you a list of 13 restaurants to try this 2014!
Along with choosing the best restaurant is choosing the right outfit. We are a fan of dressing for the weather and since it’s getting warmer out there this outfit looks so effortless yet, cute that how could we not want to wear this to brunch? The inspiration comes from Rachel Parcell of Pink Peonies by Rach Parcell. The colors really pop and the outfit will turn heads. With spring right around the corner, we love the idea of bright accent colors!
Whether you’re
hosting your own brunch or going out we are absolutely positive that you will
want to make brunch a weekend ritual!
