28 Food And Food Station Ideas For A Brunch Wedding

food and food station ideas for a brunch wedding

A brunch wedding features a whole bunch of advantages: you and your love will get ample downtime afterward, there will be breakfast food galore (perfect for those who like me enjoy breakfast food a lot), and such weddings are typically much cheaper than usual ones. Besides, if you two are early birds, such a wedding is a must! And let’s stick to the point that I’ve mentioned above – breakfast wedding food galore, let me give you some tips and share some great ideas on that.

Menus

What you really need for a breakfast wedding is food stations that offer real breakfast and brunch food. Waffle bars with freshly made waffles served with a variety of delicious toppings such as whipped cream, strawberry sauce, chocolate sauce, bananas, chocolate chips, and nuts. Crepe and pancake stations with a chef making warm crepes on request for your guests with sweet fillings such as Nutella, chocolate sauce, bananas, and mascarpone cheese—or savory fillings like spinach, ham, or chicken. Smoothie bowls are great if you’re looking for a menu on the healthier side. Offer a variety of smoothie bases with toppings such as coconut flakes, chia seeds, berries and fruit, nuts, seeds, and granola. Yogurt and berry parfaits served in martini glasses for a more upscale feeling and again a healthier menu. What else can you serve? Bacon, egg and cheese croissants, French toasts in maple syrup dipper cups, chicken and waffle sliders, frittatas baked in individual casserole dishes, fruit waffle cones, cereal, breakfast pizzas and much more!

If you are looking for a trendier and more chic idea to serve the food, I’d advise gorgeous grazing tables. They can include waffles and pancakes, salmon and cream cheese, croissants and donuts, cheese, bacon, fried eggs and some fresh berries – what you serve is totally up to you. Such a table will look magical and very mouth-watering, though it might be a bit more expensive but it’s totally worth it!

Cakes

Forget all those super formal wedding cakes and go for some casual alternative that will highlight the fact that it’s a brunch wedding. This can be a cinnamon roll stack cake, a pancake or crepe cake, a cheesecake, a cookie cake, a bundt one and many other options are welcome, too. The good thing about these cakes is that they can be easily DIYed, even if you aren’t much of a cook. Think of serving some other sweets, too, for example, create a donut wall, which is a hot trend, or make a croquembouche or a macaron tower. Get inspired by the ideas to have your own brunch wedding with delicious food!
