DIY Champagne Brunch


















Hello!  How are you doing?  I hope you have been having a wonderful time vacationing, or just spending some time relaxing.  My summer has been fun, and part of that has been planning ways to get together with friends.  A few weeks ago I planned a Champagne Brunch DIY Style.  Luckily, my friend helped me set everything up.  We spent all night decorating our patio gazebo tent inside and out because it was literally just a metal frame bare bones structure.  I don't know what I would have done without her.  She helped me decorate this gazebo and cooked the food for the brunch.  She's a gem:)  It's good to have people in your life who come to the rescue and help you when you need it.  It's always nice to go out to champagne brunches, but this time I wanted to enjoy a brunch outside in the sun with friends at home.

This feather wreath hangs from the top of our gazebo and I fastened it so it lights up with LED Lights at night.  I also thought it would look a little bit more magical in the evening if we draped a lace tablecloth underneath it to view the lights through. We had way more food than what is pictured here and it made it easier to have friends bring some dishes too.  Have you ever tried Almond Champagne? I'm a huge fan of Almond Champagne and this time we had some from Almond Creek Vineyards.  It was delicious!  Also, I'm a huge fan of bacon (especially Boar's Head bacon).  What about you?  We indulged a little bit at this brunch and it certainly was a nice way to relax.  This is definitely something we will do again.
