Parisian Champagne Brunch

Yesterday, I saw the movie, Julie and Julia. For all you food lovers, its a must see. Julie and Julia, is the story of Julia Child's start in the cooking profession intertwined with blogger Julie Powell's challenge to cook all the recipes in Child's first book. This movie was just the pick me up I needed to motivate me toward continuing my goals. Therefore today's post will be dedicated to the one and only Julia Child.

If you have a lot of out of town guest at your wedding staying in local hotels it would be nice to host brunch before they head home. A Parisian Champagne Brunch would be a spectacular idea for such an occasion. The menu can feature a selection of quiches, french toast, beignets, and salmon croquette's all serve buffet style. You can include an Eiffel tower center piece, tea roses or tulips, and buckets of champagne for the finishing touches. Here are some recipes and links for decor to make your Parisian Champagne Brunch a success.
