Good morning, friends! I hope you had a great weekend. As promised, we’re going to get the week started by jumping right back into the reveal of the Inspired Creations Contest entries. I’ve been a big fan of Erin of Dandelion & Grey for a while now so it’s a sincere pleasure to share her entry. She worked with the incredibly talented Leila Brewster of Olive Juice Photography and Chris and Elizabeth Boyette of Dapper Paper to create a gorgeous breakfast buffet inspiration shoot I know you’ll love. I find all of the little details really magical and love the idea of a casual breakfast reception.
Erin shares, “We wanted to come up with a fresh alternative to the standard dinner reception and hosting a breakfast or brunch is a sweet, budget friendly idea. We started with a gorgeous vintage farmhouse dresser placed in a idyllic, expansive field. I wanted to come up with a unique way to house the delicious comfort food and decided on using antique kitchen tools and gadgets for the serving pieces.”
“Charming labels, created by Dapper Paper, help guests navigate the buffet, filled with traditional Southern favorites, such as grits, sliced tomatoes and biscuits ‘n jelly. Lavender, peonies and cabbage mix with wildflowers to create a casual, summery vibe. Lovely hooks, nailed into a tree act as an escort card holder and a sweet framed print, leans against a tree telling guests, ‘We’re fixin’ to Eat, so grab your Seat!’ ”
“For a thoughtful favor, Dapper Paper created darling recipe cards, complete with a delicious recipe for ‘Grandma’s Biscuits’! We placed the favors in a shallow vintage wooden shelf along with found objects like ceramic red hearts, patina silverware and more kitchen gadgets. A sweet colorful apron sways in the breeze and overlooks our lovely, sun-drenched scene.”
I love Erin’s vision for a pretty, outdoor brunch reception with charming paper goods and sweet little details that make it special and memorable. This could also be incredible inspiration for a morning after brunch or even a rehearsal brunch in lieu of a rehearsal dinner if your schedule allowed. With great food, fresh flowers and a few unexpected touches you just can’t go wrong!
A huge thank you to Erin, Leila, Chris and Elizabeth for being a part of the Inspired Creations Contest!
