Bridesmaid luncheon with Menu & Recipes

I’ve been anxiously waiting to share this party design all summer, ever since I got some gold-tone entertaining accessories and pretty new/vintage glassware. I wanted to show how you can combine vintage treasures with modern trends to get a beautiful, unique look perfect for a Bridesmaids Luncheon.

Thrift shopping is one of my favorite pastimes and I’ve collected a lovely menagerie of both vintage and replica tea cups. Many have touches of gold in the design so they look so great when paired with today’s trend of gold-toned flatware, and other accessories. I didn’t want this to be a “tea party” though, so I used the cups for a cold fruit soup course instead.

I’m also including menu recipes so you hardly have to think about anything else when planning this party! Get all the details below.

Bridesmaid Luncheon Menu 

  • This chilled raspberry soup is a delicious and unique starter. 
  • Next, serve this spinach & strawberry salad – fresh spinach, sliced strawberries, sugared walnuts, crumbled bacon, crumbled feta cheese, poppy seed dressing
  • These sesame chicken salad in puff pastry cups are a crown please’r. Other options are my easy chicken quiche or crunchy chicken salad with peanut dressing.
  • Set up a dessert table like the one below, and serve candies and small treats. Make a cake as the centerpiece. Use my pineapple white later cake recipe or this awesome orange layer cake recipe.

Bridesmaid Luncheon Table Setting – modern vintage

  • For the lunch table I wanted a mix-n-match look with the china pieces so I split up the cup and saucer sets. It gives each place setting more interest don’t you think!
  • Gold dotted salad/dessert plates from HomeGoods brings unity to the settings, as well as giving the eye a rest between the layered patterns.
  • Since the china pieces are mostly in a soft, varying color palette, I used different colors of card stock for the place cards.
  • I found these small monogrammed dishes at Michael’s and thought they’d be a great addition to the table as well as a take home favor for guests. The colors coordinate with the rest of the table and they hold a gold foiled chocolate.
  • Lately I’ve been obsessed with collecting pretty glassware. I found the green hobnail glasses at World Market and the pink stems are vintage. I love how feminine and delicate they are.
  • Another mix-n-match element is the gold-toned napkin rings. It’s a set of 4 but each is a different shape. Since this is a 5 seat setting I added in another gold napkin ring with a chalkboard face plate, which I already had.
  • The guest of honor {the bride to be} sits at the head of the table and her chair gets a little detail with a mini bunting made with washi tape and twine.
  • A mixed bouquet of flowers is the centerpiece for this table and is arranged in my small white compote that has a vintage look.
  • Even the wine bottle coordinates with the table setting. Santa Margherita Pinot Grigio is the perfect accompaniment to this meal. Dress it up further with ribbon and a fabric flower from the craft store.

Dessert Table & Gift Table

  • A small dessert station is set up with a few candies, colorful macarons, and a simple cake. The cake gets dressed up with diy picks that spell out “love.”
  • I continued the use of white vintage-look dishes and vintage pieces to hold the sweets. A strategically placed tea cup makes a darling vessel to hold Sixlets!
  • A bride usually gives her bridesmaids a gift at an event like this. Small boxes wrapped in gold ribbon and coordinating ‘Thank You’ tags look pretty placed alongside the dessert offerings.
  • The gift itself can also match the decor: a gold votive candle holder & candle, a gold cuff bracelet, and pink & gold nail polish {maybe for the girls to wear on the big day}
  • Line the gift boxes with decorative scrapbook paper and add shredded paper filler for a finished look inside.

I hope you love this as much as I do, and you’re inspired to mix the old with the new. Do you have a bride in your life? Share this post with her to help her plan, and let me know what you think in the comments below.

    I looooove those polka dot plates, and the tiny monogram dishes, the floral centerpiece and the table covering and the ghost chairs, and the printables are simple and elegant. It is definitely an idea that can be replicated seamlessly! Love it!
