Serve the Perfect Brunch with these Spring Decorating Ideas
Spring is the time when all of the awesome things start happening. You know, like Mother's Day and special breakfasts and brunches, which are my favorite. Yum! There's just something new in the air and just another (completely valid) reason to celebrate or treat someone to a little fun. Today, I am going to share some very simplistic, yet gorgeous ways to set up a brunch spread this spring. This post is product sponsored by Balsam Hill, all opinions are my idea.
Flowers and candles are classic ways to decorate your home any time of the year. Balsam Hill has actually found a way to take these decor pieces to another level. Wait! Let's back up a second here. Did you think those were real flowers? You might be surprised that they are actually faux flowers! These Enchanted Roses in Water Illusion are some of the most realistic looking flowers I've seen yet. They're honestly breathtaking. Can you believe it?
Are you hungry for brunch ideas? Let's jump on in!
Perfect Brunch with these Spring Decorating Ideas
Flameless Candles. I've become a huge fan of flameless candles recently. But, I didn't know what I was missing until I had a chance to check out the battery operated, remote controlled Flameless Pillar Candles at Balsam Hill. My brunch layout includes one medium pillar and one large pillar. Added bonus! Not sure about you, but when I'm setting up for a party or company, I tend to get hot. Another added bonus is that these candles don't throw off any heat as a real candle would. Plus, when reaching around food, a real flame could potentially be dangerous.
These make a simple and beautiful addition to any brunch table or room in your home. These are unique because the flame looks incredibly realistic when turned on. It flickers and glows like a real flame. It's simply gorgeous!
Ribbon. When it comes to perfect but simple touches in party decor, I always reach for a roll of pretty ribbon. This glitter gold ribbon was just the right thing to add some flair easily. I used the ribbon in two ways. First, I created a simple banner by cutting equal sized strips of the ribbon. The ribbon has wire around the edges making it easy to bend and hold the way you want it. I simply bent the tops and folded over to get them to stay without any glue. I used baker's twine as the base and it literally took me about 5 minutes to put together!
The second way that I used this pretty ribbon was to cut small strips out of it and tie it around utensils. In just a minute, you can have perfectly presentable utensils that actually add beauty to your serving table. Love it!
Flowers. Flowers are always a wonderful way to bring life into your home or to a celebration. With Balsam Hill faux flowers, you're getting something that not only looks real but that will last. Real flowers die all too quickly, this is something that you can use way beyond just one event.
Just look at these beauties. They are so full just like real blooms. I'm just thrilled that I can keep these forever! They are made with silk polyester and every flower and leaf is painted by hand! Realistic looking flowers set in an acrylic water illusion really makes for perfection.
They are quite literally a work of art and a great addition to any home.

Adding the ribbons gives the silverware such a nice little touch. Love the flameless candles too!
I love the soft look with the neutral colors and burlap. *swoons*
Wow, these are awesome ideas! I really love the way you set the candles up. Very nice.
I like the little bows around the forks! What an elegant little touch!
I love those candles! I want them for myself! They would look great in my living room!
Oh my gosh! I am a ribbon and twine junkie! I add it to all sorts of things to take everyday items and make them pop. I love the gold ribbon on the silverware. So simple and yet a great statement.
These are great ways to dress up the table for brunch . I love the bows on the cutlery. Flowers are always a nice touch.

super cute display. I also blogged for Balsam Hill and got those candles.....Chistine from Little Brags
I love flameless candles! Those flowers are beautiful! I really like these ideas.
Who knew a small touch of ribbon could add such a beautiful element to a table. Flameless candles sound like a great decor idea, especially with little ones around.
Right? I have to say, I am really glad I thought of that! Definitely going to be doing this again! Thanks for stopping by 😉
Dawn, wonderful use of ribbon as a quick banner Definitely cute and clever with no glue. This is Dagmar Obert, the brand ambassador for Balsam Hill. Loved the idea of using the ribbon around the flatware as well. My daughter had a shower for her wedding last fall and the hostess had tied ribbon around the stem of the glasses but love the idea of the utensils. Thanks for the lovely display of candles and the flowers. They are lovely and do look real!
Hi Dagmar, what an honor to have you visit 😉 Congrats to your daughter, that is wonderful. I love the idea of doing ribbon on the glasses, that must have looked so pretty. It was my pleasure getting to know Balsam Hill. I am so thrilled with the quality and know that we'll be able to use these pieces for years to come in so many different ways!
I love these ideas. Those ribbons on the forks are super-cute. The candles are beautiful, too 🙂
Thanks Shauna! 😉
I was completely fooled by the flowers! I totally thought they were real. Loe them!
Aha! See? They are SO pretty!
My mom has those same candles lighting my dad's memorial area. I love them so much and think they are beautiful!
Wow! That is such a beautiful way to memorialize a loved one. What a sweet idea. Thanks for sharing Amy!
Those are all lovely ideas. We are having a brunch this Sunday & I will keep these in mind!
