Waffle Bar Styling Tips
A waffle bar brunch wouldnt be complete without a few styling tips and tricks. Browse through the visuals below to get inspired!
Create a unique table set up with craft paper and a permanent marker. Start by rolling out the craft paper to span the length of your table. Use a marker to guide your guests through building a perfect breakfast. Mark the paper with step-by-step instructions and arrows to what comes next. Think waffle, toppings and syrups galore! Waffles tend to get a little messy, but you wont have to worry about ruining a tablecloth with this paper alternative. Plus, itll make for a great conversation piece at the celebration.
To maintain a cohesive feel, select a color scheme and incorporate those elements throughout your waffle bar. Since the craft paper is brown, a natural color palette seems fitting, but dont hesitate to add pops of color. We decided to go with brushed metal elements to achieve a rustic farmhouse feel.
Create a festive backdrop for your waffle bar by using wood signage or a chalkboard message. Personalize your backdrop with a special sentiment for the guest of honor or incorporate a fun saying about waffles.
