The honeymoon is over. The stress is long gone. Time to get your girls together for a post-wedding recap! Catch up with your bridesmaids and treat them to a brunch at your place filled with wine, snacks and tons of gossip. We partnered with the experts at Style Me Pretty to create this one-of-a-kind event. Re-create this tablescape using all of the Lenox pieces from your registry! It’s a great way to thank your bridal party for their help throughout your engagement (and an excuse to try out your new dinnerware!)
Now that the wedding planning is over, it's time to celebrate. In this guide, we will be teaching you how to throw the ultimate bridesmaid brunch or luncheon.
Let’s Get Personal
Before your girls even arrive, give your table an extra special touch. Top off each pretty place setting with a name card that they can bring home as a keepsake. It’s a unique detail to show you care and ties each setting together. For this bridesmaid brunch, we set the table with French Perle Scallop dinnerware next to our best-selling Portola utensils. Valencia is used as water glasses, while the wine glasses are (of course!) from our famous Tuscany Classics collection. To bring a bright summer accent to your bridal brunch table, add a few lemons into a large serving bowl to bring a zesty yellow pop to the neutral palette.
Share Some Snacks
Set out a few platters while you wait for any fashionably late friends or family members. We served croissants paired with strawberries, a cheese platter and baguettes all on Textured Neutrals for easy sharing. If you're hosting a bridesmaid luncheon, add a mixture of both breakfast foods and lunch items so everyone can find something that suits their tastebuds. Think yogurt parfaits, sandwiches, mini quiches, and salads for a complete brunch table.
Spread them out around the table for appetizers while everyone gets settled in. Need help on what to put on your cheeseboard?

Don't forget to complement your spread with elegant flatware & silverware sets for a complete dining experience.
Don’t Forget the Sweet Treats
No bridesmaid brunch or bridal luncheon is complete without an array of sweet treats to delight your guests. From decadent mini cakes and croissants filled with chocolate or jam to elegant brownies topped with edible flowers, desserts bring a touch of indulgence to your brunch party. For a more personal touch, consider customized treats like monogrammed cookies or mini desserts that reflect the bride’s style and the theme of the bridal brunch.
Create a visually stunning dessert table featuring colorful macarons, cupcakes in soft pink hues, and a signature cake that serves as a centerpiece. Pair these delicious bites with bubbly or a refreshing cocktail to keep the celebration lively. Sweet treats aren’t just dessert—they’re a thoughtful way to show your bridal party how much you appreciate their love and support, while also making your special occasion feel truly unforgettable.
Your Turn To Make A Speech
Raise a glass to those who poured time and love into your big day. Tell everyone how much you appreciated them by proposing a toast using a handy bar set-up to make each person’s drink. This citrus-themed bar cart combines beauty and barware for an elegant display. We filled it with our Cocktail Party collection featuring a shaker and bar tool set all in a burnished matte gold. If they’re not having cocktails, you can serve wine from our Valencia decanter. The tinted glass gives a smokey hue to your drink display. Paired with a few extra lemons and florals, it’s a cheery arrangement that livens up the room. Cheers!
Add Entertainment to Keep the Celebration Lively
A bridal luncheon is the perfect opportunity to create lasting memories and share meaningful moments with your bridal party. Adding a few engaging activities will ensure your guests stay entertained and the event feels extra special.
One idea is to host a memory-sharing session where each bridesmaid recounts her favorite moment from the wedding day or the bachelorette party. This heartfelt activity allows everyone to relive the laughter and love from the celebration while strengthening your bond as a group.
Planning the Perfect Post-Wedding Bridesmaid Brunch
A bridesmaid brunch is more than just a post-wedding gathering—it’s a heartfelt way to honor your bridal party and relive the joy of your special day. From thoughtful menus featuring sweet treats and elegant decor to engaging entertainment like memory-sharing sessions, every detail adds to the celebration’s charm. By personalizing the experience with meaningful touches, you create a space to thank your bridesmaids for their love and support throughout the wedding planning journey. So gather your girls, raise a glass, and toast to friendship, laughter, and the memories you’ve made. Your bridal luncheon will be a celebration they’ll treasure forever.
