The Perfect Brunch: Traditions, Table Arrangements and Decorating Tips

Traditions and Meaning of Brunch

Brunch, a fusion of the words "breakfast" and "lunch," originated in England in the late 19th century. Originally intended as an ideal meal after Sunday church services, brunch quickly developed into a popular culinary tradition.

Nowadays, no one has to go to church for this anymore.

Nevertheless, especially in such a stressful time, with a calendar full of appointments and lots of organization, a special brunch is the perfect opportunity to start the weekend in a relaxed manner with family and friends.

Why is brunch so special?

Brunch is more than just a meal. A successful brunch symbolizes community, relaxation and enjoyment. SmacoGlas helps you to make your brunch really easy: prepare - straight from the fridge to the table - enjoy!

Time for Encounters

Brunch is the perfect time to meet up with loved ones. Whether with family, old friends or business partners – brunch creates valuable moments in a very special atmosphere.

In our hectic world, brunch offers a welcome break. A brunch looks incredibly great, but doesn't require a lot of work. And yet it achieves what only a few events manage: everyone is relaxed and takes time for what is important: the people around them.

culinary diversity

Brunch combines the best of both worlds: breakfast and lunch. Whether you prefer to prepare the day before or spontaneously make lots of little things, with brunch you decide the limits. From hot to cold dishes, from hearty egg dishes to fresh fruit salads to sweet treats - there is something for every taste.

Delicious variety on the table

There are many ways to offer a delicious selection of food at brunch. Let your creativity run wild! Here are some ideas:

1. Baked goods : Fragrant rolls, croissants, plaited bread – it's better to have a wide selection, but in smaller quantities. This creates a WOW effect!
2. Spreads and side dishes : Small variations of spreads, jams, sausages, cheese, cream cheese preparations and delicatessen salads also provide a delicious feast for the eyes that whets the appetite simply because of the variety. Our SmacoGlas cold cuts boxes are perfect here, because they offer just the right space for even small quantities!
3. Egg dishes : Boiled eggs are easy to prepare in advance and always look great! Use a small bowl, a wicker basket or a colorful woven basket. A napkin will make the whole thing look rounded and lavish.
4. Sweet baked goods, fresh fruit and desserts : To pamper those with a sweet tooth with sweet treats, you can put small baked goods, such as mini apple strudel or fruit and chocolate crunchy muesli on the table with natural yoghurt. Also place small bowls of fruit on the table - the more colorful, the better. You can also pre-cut large fruit.

Creative table arrangements and decoration tips

To make sure your brunch is not only a taste highlight but also a visual highlight, here are a few tips:

1. Attractive small and large bowls and baskets : Present the food in pretty bowls and rustic baskets. For cold cuts, cheese, delicatessen salads, fruit snacks, vegetables, crabs and much more, our SmacoGlas cold cuts box is the perfect support: All you have to do is take it out of the fridge and arrange it on the table. Done!
2. Mini jars for jam, yoghurt and muesli : These make your table decoration an appetizing eye-catcher. We offer you many different small bowls and jars so you can prepare everything and simply put it back in the fridge after brunch.
3. Flowers and fresh herbs : Set accents with fresh flowers and herbs on the table. It doesn't matter whether you pick daisies from the field or buy a whole bouquet. The only important thing is to place tall flowers at the back if the table is against the wall and in the middle if the table is free-standing. Small flowers can decorate the buffet best if they are bundled in small bouquets and placed in different places, for example between the SmacoGlas boxes.
4. Napkins, tablecloths and crockery : Choose napkins that match the color and an attractive tablecloth. This has an incredible effect with very little effort. You can either lay the napkin flat on the plate or fold it creatively for the WOW effect. The basic principle is: if you have a colorful buffet, the plates can be plain. If you have a plain tablecloth and plain napkins, the plates can add accents.

So, invite your loved ones, enjoy the delicious food and have a good time!
