of which is a wedding. Until the middle of the
last century most brides were married at home, so
whether you are the bride honoring your attendants
or a friend honoring the bride, a romantic, classically
elegant, at-home bridal luncheon is an appropriate
and welcome bow to tradition.
The party should shout romance. Old-fashioned
colors, ranging from creamy white to pale, feminine
pink, work the best. Roses are a must and can be set
in arrangements, candied for decorations, stuffed
into napkins, added to gifts and tied with chiffon
ribbons to the backs of chairs.
The meal itself is not to be overlooked. We’ve
created a graceful luncheon with fruit smoothies,
a luxurious spread, a delicate quiche, Champagne-poached salmon and a fruit tart, guaranteeing a
party that will become a treasured memory for
years to come.
