Farmhouse Brunch
Spring is around the corner, and some might already be feeling the warmth creep back into the weather. Even in limited-season states, winter shows in some way that makes things feel slightly different from spring, summer, and autumn. Social gatherings are minimal in the winter (for a few in winter locations) if you exclude the holidays, but as the warmth returns, so does the call to return to your social circle!

Color Palette
I would stay into the spring theme with a light palette to brighten the room. Some would try neutral tones, but I believe in not being afraid of color.
If you are still iffy on something too bright, add a difference with a high saturation of green and a chai latte-like color (whose base color is orange). Finally, a creme would do the job if you are still looking for a hint of modernism mixed with a traditional farmhouse.
After all, it's a typical glaze of pottery used in that decor.
Farmhouse Decor
A farmhouse-inspired brunch is a refreshing, uplifting start to the new year and the brightness of daylight savings. Below are suggestions for uplifting decor.
Unique Glassware
Unique Glassware
Antique Coffee Cups can be used for any drink OR unique food container.
Unique Glassware
Glassware is also very common for this theme and a glass vase will work well. Also, don't be afraid to match certain items. It's okay to do it in moderation.
Ribbed Coupe glassware drives from the early 1900s and displays vintage with the texture but also modern based on its silhouette.

Decorative Fabric
A great re-use is this green table runner to go with the color palette. Knit is best for a hand-made aesthetic to fit this theme.
Ceramic Bowls
A traditional traditional aesthetic for farmhouse decor with pattern and white glaze.
Ceramic Bowls
Although these are more modern in shape, they help with the theme with their naked rim and palette.
Food & Drink Pairings
A three to four-course meal is an excellent option for this type of event. You can always add more, but the number of courses is also manageable depending on the guest count and courses. The fewer courses you have, the more opportunities you have to promote your dishes. Also, because of the many courses don't be afraid to serve smaller portions! By the end you and your guests will be plenty full.
Again, channel spring!
Lobster Avocado Toast
For those who might have an allergy, you could substitute lobster with Prosciutto, Egg, or Chopped Bacon. For a vegetable option, add cherry tomatoes with balsamic vinegar. The recipe below showcasing the delicious Lobster is by Lukes Lobster.
To keep things light between courses, a soup is an acceptable option. Broccoli grows all season and is affordable. Because you just had bread in the first course, you can bypass bread on the side and just serve soup. Below is a great recipe by The Modern Popper.
Lemon Garlic Parmesan Pasta
Still sticking to a refreshing theme but a tad more filling, try this delicious pasta by Joyous Apron.
Lemon Mousse (optional)
The dessert is entirely optional (but it's dessert ~come on). In fact, this is another way to use your coffee cup glassware other than a beverage with a light airy lemon mousse by The Toasty Kitchen.

Strawberry Basil Fizz
A non-alcoholic option for those that prefer a light, spring refreshing beverage. You can always add Vodka to turn it into a cocktail. Try the recipe below by Musing Maven.
French 75
The French 75 is my go-to brunch cocktail! The champagne and gin (or vodka) pairs nicely with that added lemon. The following recipe is by Liquor.
