Let’s have a Brunch Wedding!

For many years now, tradition suggested that you host your wedding ceremony on a Saturday afternoon and party into the early hours of the next morning. How about you change things up a little with Wedding Brunch Ideas? Have you ever really considered a Brunch Wedding? They are perfect if you want something intimate, low-key and cost-effective.

Wedding Brunch Ideas

If some of your guests and bridal party are already spending the night closer to the venue, why not start the celebrations early? Here are some reasons why having a Brunch Wedding is better than the Tradition Wedding.

1. Amazing photo opportunities

The crisp morning air and the golden hour at sunrise is perfect for photographs. The views of the landscape, the mountains, the trees, these are some of the reasons you chose your venue, it is what makes your venue magical. Starting early in the morning, allows you to enjoy all the beauties of nature. You also do not have to rush anything!

2. New and exciting food selections

Breakfast is the food of champions. You can give your guests some delicious pastries and coffee on arrival and after your ceremony, have a heavenly breakfast together with everyone. You can do a three-course breakfast and add some dancing and speeches in between. Is there any better way? The best part about morning weddings, breakfast food! Who doesn’t love eggs and bacon? With your coffee bar as part of your welcoming, a full breakfast buffet is a wonderful way to spice up your guests’ day. You can do savory, sweet and add colourful fruits and as far as we have it, Mimosa’s are totally on every breakfast menu, right?

3. More intimate atmosphere

When you are looking at different wedding venues, most of them are quite big and mostly suited for groups of 80 – 250 guests. If your bridal party is smaller than that, it could feel like a bit of a waste to get married in such a big venue, but, if your venue has a beautiful garden or special ceremony area, why not have your reception outside? If you are a smaller group of people, you can also book out a nice restaurant and save on quite a few things that you would’ve needed for the venue.

4. All things Floral

Along with the fresh air and soft light, keep the theme happy by asking your guests to dress in soft colour and sundresses. This will ensure a fresh and happy morning. Also, if you are having your wedding outside, nature is already doing most of the décor for you!

5. The High Tea

After your ceremony, have a full high tea with your guests. Here you can serve some of your favourite foods and desserts to make it unique. You can have some awesome coffee, bubbly and just enjoy a lovely afternoon with your loved ones.

6. Ceremony now, Party later

If you are not able to host your ceremony and reception on the same day, for whatever reason. Have a small morning ceremony with your close friends and family to celebrate your love and to start your life together. Once everyone is able to join, have a cocktail party get-together with your friends and family from all over the world and enjoy an evening out with them to celebrate. This is also a good way to save money if a traditional wedding is not your style.

Any and every wedding is a celebration of love and is your chance to show your guests what makes your love story special. Do what you makes you happy and create your own reality here. You can still have all the traditional elements you wish to, even if your time-line looks a bit different.

Remember just because you are having an earlier celebration, does not mean that you are not allowed to have some bubbly!
