◆ At a Glance ◆

Ah, the brunch wedding — budget-friendly and delicious. And don’t get hung up on tradition… brunch can take place at ANY time. But what to serve your hungry guests? At the risk of getting even hungrier, let’s look at all the delicious options for your wedding brunch menu, including THE perfect wedding egg (you’ll die when you see it).

We got a request from an Offbeat Bride reader for us to feature more offbeat menu ideas that aren’t about desserts. We’ve covered wedding cakes and cake alternatives, but what else should you feed your guests?

I thought I’d start off our menu feature roundups with my favorite of all the kinds of menus: BRUNCH!

Smoothies

Tropical Smoothie = easy to carry w/ you from table to table — Fruit smoothies are also a great drink option. Make ’em fresh or pick up a batch at a local smoothie joint.
