Galentine’s Day Brunch Ideas
Think classic Galentine’s Day colors like pink — pretty but more powerful. The table is set with colored tapered candles, gold flatware, fringed napkins hand-dyed to the perfect shade, and a graphic magenta linen from BBJ Linen, which anchors it all in a pristine all-white space. For each guest, a small bento-style box of Sugarfina candy printed with playful phrases like, “Hey, Hot Lips” was placed at their seat.
