Couples can spend their wedding morning snuggled up in a diner booth, eating the best local cuisine, and exploring the city as newlyweds all before noon.

Brunch at Minneapolis’ Diane’s Place Restaurant

Trendy cafes with a cozy ambiance are popping up all over Minneapolis, but nobody does it quite like Diane’s Place. The hidden gem is a Hmong American full-service restaurant that serves some of the best brunch in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Traditional breakfast dishes served with a twist include their Thai Tea French Toast and Spam and Nori Croissant.

For this intimate wedding styled shoot, Diane’s Place provided delectable pastries. Placed on antique green floral plates next to modern silverware and striped linen napkins, the mixture of vintage wedding inspiration and contemporary patterns was striking and playful.

For couples who want their wedding to be laid-back, but still beautifully designed, hosting a brunch wedding is a wonderful option. An elevated brunch elopement is ideal for food-loving couples who want a low-key yet indulgent way to celebrate their love.

Signature Wedding Drinks For a Brunch Wedding

It’s common for couples to have fun with their wedding drinks and cocktail menu. At a brunch wedding, the possibilities are truly endless. From funky mimosa concoctions to sleek espresso martinis, there are all sorts of brunch wedding beverages to choose from.

Posing with the drinks you choose is another way to add a casual and classic aesthetic to your wedding portraits. Toast with your champagne glasses or sip as you smile, every photo of you enjoying your brunch wedding will be beautiful.
