The Perfect Garden-Style Spring Brunch: Hosting Tips and Cheese Board Ideas
There’s something magical about a spring morning: the sunshine, the blooms, the feeling and excitement of fresh beginnings. And our personal favourite part of the season? Spring brunches. If you’re dreaming of a garden-style gathering that blends Bridgerton-worthy charm with a modern twist, you’re in the right place.
Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, hosting a weekend get-together, or simply looking for an excuse to sip bubbly in the garden, here’s how to throw a spring brunch that feels effortless and memorable, with our go-to cheese board pairings and styling tips to bring it all together.
1. Set the Scene: Florals, Linens & Low-Key Luxe
Think soft pastels, flowing linens, and floral everything, but keep it simple. A few thoughtful details can totally shift the vibe. Use seasonal blooms (tulips, lilacs, peonies) as centerpieces or in bud vases along the table. Layer your setup with mixed-height candles, textured napkins, and vintage-inspired cutlery to hit that sweet spot between relaxed and refined.
If you’re hosting outdoors, create shade and atmosphere with a canopy, parasols, or even an old sheet strung between trees. Bonus points for adding a magic touch of fairy lights at dusk.
2. Curate the Cheese Board: Light, Fresh, and Spring-Forward
Spring is all about fresh starts, and your cheese board should feel the same. Our Elevated Brunch Package is made for exactly this kind of vibe. Here’s how to build a seasonal board that’s light but still full of flavour:
● Cheese picks: Soft cheeses like chèvre, triple cream brie, or burrata; a mild manchego or gouda for contrast.
● Pairings: Fresh berries, radishes, sugar snap peas, citrus wedges, and edible flowers.
● Crunch factor: Crostini, seeded crackers, or a seasonal taralli.
● Finishing touches: Honeycomb, fig jam, or a floral chutney can take it to the next level.
Pro Tip: Let your cheese come to room temperature before guests arrive, flavour always shines better that way.
3. Serve Signature Sips: The Garden Mimosa Bar
A spring brunch without a mimosa is like a garden without flowers. Set up a simple DIY mimosa bar with sparkling wine or prosecco and seasonal juices:
Juices to try: Blood orange, grapefruit, peach nectar, lavender lemonade.
Garnishes: Fresh herbs (thyme, mint, basil), floral ice cubes, or edible flowers.
It’s a low-effort way to make guests feel spoiled, without you playing bartender all day.
4. Think Beyond Brunch: Thoughtful Hosting Touches
Small details go a long way. Handwritten place cards, a curated playlist, or even a mini picnic station can add charm without the stress.
