Hosting Christmas Brunch

Christmas is just around the corner, and what better way to celebrate than by hosting a festive brunch with your favorite people? It’s the perfect occasion to share laughs, sip on mimosas, and indulge in a delicious holiday-inspired spread. This year, I’m going all out with a cozy yet chic theme, centered around Vivé’s stunning wavy bow placemats and napkins—a must-have for anyone looking to bring a touch of elegance to their holiday gatherings.

Setting the Scene: A Sophisticated Christmas Brunch

For this brunch, I wanted to create a warm, stylish environment that felt festive but not over-the-top. I’m sticking to classic Christmas colors with a modern twist—think deep greens, warm golds, and creamy whites. Here’s how I’m pulling everything together:

1. Vivé’s Wavy Bow Placemats & Napkins

Vivé’s wavy bow collection is the star of my table this year. The unique design of the placemats adds a sophisticated, feminine touch, while the napkins, with their soft texture and elegant bows, make each place setting feel special. I opted for the creamy white napkins with delicate gold embroidery to tie in that festive glimmer we all love during the holidays.

2. Gold Accents Everywhere

To complement the wavy bow placemats, I’m layering the table with gold flatware and gold-rimmed glassware. These subtle accents bring out the elegant embroidery on the napkins and add that luxurious Christmas feel without being overwhelming. Pro tip: gold candle holders and votive candles can help you bring that soft, cozy glow to your table as the day moves into the evening.

3. Seasonal Greenery & Florals

No holiday brunch is complete without a centerpiece! I’m going for a lush, low centerpiece of seasonal greenery—think eucalyptus, pine, and sprigs of holly—interspersed with white roses and deep red berries. It adds the perfect pop of color to the table without taking attention away from the beautiful tableware.

4. Personalized Touches with Embroidered Napkins

One of the best things about Vivé is the option for custom embroidery. For this brunch, I decided to take it up a notch and have each guest’s initials embroidered on their napkin. Not only does this serve as a thoughtful, personalized detail, but it also doubles as a lovely take-home gift for each of my friends!

 

The Menu: Delicious Yet Simple Holiday Favorites

Since the decor is elegant, I want to keep the food comforting and delicious but not too heavy. Here’s what I’m planning for the brunch:

• Mini quiches with spinach, goat cheese, and caramelized onions
• A beautiful fruit platter featuring winter favorites like pomegranate seeds, blood oranges, and persimmons
• French toast casserole with cinnamon and vanilla drizzle
• Cranberry and rosemary mimosas for that festive twist on the classic

Final Touches: A Relaxed Vibe

While the decor and menu set the tone, the most important part of any gathering is the vibe. I’m keeping things relaxed by curating a cozy playlist with holiday tunes, lighting a few Christmas-scented candles, and making sure there’s plenty of seating for everyone to lounge and enjoy themselves post-brunch.

With Vivé’s wavy bow placemats and napkins setting the foundation for this elegant theme, you’re sure to impress your guests with an unforgettable Christmas brunch. The beautiful tableware, personalized touches, and warm festive atmosphere will create lasting memories. Now, all that’s left is to sit back, relax, and enjoy this magical time with your friends.

Merry brunching! 🎄
