Holiday Entertaining Ideas

Holiday Brunch Gathering

A brunch with friends is an important holiday tradition for longtime friends and neighbors Gloria and Arnold Ventura and Sarah and Shawn McCann. They keep the tradition alive year after year with a little variety and a lot of planning.

The table is set with “Arcadia” porcelain dinnerware by Philippe Deshoulières and “Whitework” linens from Gayle Warwick. Apple-green porcelain plates aren’t specific to Christmas but are well suited for a holiday brunch. Metallic touches on the dinner ensemble—including service plates that anchor the porcelain, gold-rimmed amber wineglasses, and white linens hemstitched in gold—give the basics a luxurious charge.
