Hi, everyone!
I’m sure you’ve been to a wedding or formal event where there’s a buffet, right? But have you ever considered having a buffet of your own at home? I find it’s a super easy way to host guests—you really only need to decorate one central table. And, with pretty oven-to-table bakeware, there’s no need for many serving plates and platters. A buffet is also more casual than a formal sit-down meal and I think guests feel more relaxed and are free to do what they like and eat what they like.
A weekend brunch buffet is one of my favorite ways to entertain…you get to make all those yummy breakfast foods and you can really be creative with your decorating. For example, have you ever tried decorating with a single color? It’s super easy way to create a classy, cohesive look. See?
Doesn’t that look sunny and happy? And so chic?
Here’s what pulls this whole look together…
The white and greens in the flower arrangement make the yellows on this tablescape look natural. I then just added more natural accents using the flowers as my guide…a rustic silverware tray, natural wooden stands to bring height and more color to the table. White plates and china don’t detract from the yellows, only enhance. (Virtually everything on my buffet table is available on QVC.com! The complete list of items is at the bottom of this blog.)
Notice the menu plate right in the front? It’s SO easy to make one of these!
I used chalkboard paint you can buy at any craft store and a plain white (dollar store!) plate. Then, I bought a chalk pen to write the small recipe names on the front. You can find lots of my great brunch recipes on QVC.com.
This buffet table and menu plate are both part of the next You’re Home with Jill that airs this Wednesday on QVC.com and QVC PLUS®. Our topic for the day is Family Celebrations and I have a very special guest joining me…my mom! :) Happy Friday to you all, I hope you have a glorious weekend. Blue skies are in the forecast here in West Chester. YESSSS!!!!!!
From my home to yours,
—Jill
