New Year's Day Brunch

Create the look for your New Year's Day brunch with a cool, lush palette of white and silver. Keep things casual by serving the brunch buffet-style in your living room. Cover a table with a white tablecloth and festive silver runner. Plate the frittatas on silver platters. Use silver plastic plates and silver paper napkins so you don't have to worry about doing the dishes. Choose a versatile glass that works well for both Bloody Marys and flavored water. Fill vases with silver ornaments and place a beautiful white floral arrangement by the entrance. Toss icy blue pillows onto seats and couches. Don't forget to light candles for
perfect party lighting.

A lemon raspberry French toast strata puffs up into a delicious dessert-like dish. Afterwards, give guests slices of chocolate coconut banana bread to take home. Get the recipes when you read more
