Set the scene
Brunches deserve their own spotlight, and like any memorable moment, setting the scene is key. Our Albany Serving Boards are the perfect base to layer on timeless décor or decorative pieces to elevate the ambiance. Use vases in unique heights to cradle vibrant peonies or eucalypt leaves and create captivating points of interest. To break up beige or monotone colour schemes, consider adding our Albany Fruit Bowl full of fresh fruits and citrus' to effortlessly introduce vibrancy and contrast.
Invest in quality mugs and drinkware
Just like you'd splurge on top-notch glassware for a fancy dinner party, your brunch deserves nothing less than quality mugs!
Choosing the right vessel for your espresso or coffee isn't just about convenience - it's about elevating the aromatics and overall taste of your drink. So, if your guests lean towards the bold side with straight-up espresso shots, make sure our Hostess Espresso Cup & Saucer is within reach.
Our Hostess Coffee Mugs is perfect for guests sipping everything from frothy cappuccinos to indulgent hot chocolate. And for those friends who prefer to unwind with a soothing cuppa, our Hostess Tea Cups and Saucers are an absolute must. Oh, and let's not forget about the brunch guests who lean towards a boozy vibe – include our Cuvee Stemless Wine Glasses for those looking to add a little spirited flair to the feast!
