Ladies Who Brunch

This year, begin a new tradition and host a festive all girls' brunch. With all the hustle and bustle of holiday shopping, decorating and traveling to see family, it can be difficult to set aside time for your close friends, but with a few choice design elements, serving pieces and tasty goodies, you'll be able to host a wonderful, stress-free get-together.

Pick up a selection of pastries from your favorite bakery for an easy treat. The delicious smell will add to the ambience, and placed on tiered cake plates from Vesta's in Little Rock, they create their own visual element. Red chargers and white and gold plates and bowls from Box Turtle in Little Rock set a festive scene, while Lenox flatware from Rose Cottage in Conway and sophisticated gold-hued linens from Yves Delorme add an elegant touch. You'll fall in love with these Schott Zwiesel Tritan wine glasses—they are as stunning as crystal but break- and chip-resistant and dishwasher safe. Available at Kitchen Co. in Little Rock.
