5 or 8!

8 Is my first choice with the plaid

Me too, 5 or 8!!!

I really like 8. It's mixing patterns but is a a little cleaner with the white plates.

8 looks very brunchy.

Thumbs up for 8!

8 - must have the bird.

I liked 3, but 8 is nice.

I like 8 because I don't care for the way food looks on colored plates, so the bright placemat and nice bird napkin set off the white plate nicely. Food will look much more appetizing on that plate.

First choice #5, then 8. Depending on the food you’re serving...which plate would look better.

My vote is #5.

2,4,5,7, but I like 8 best hands down. I think food looks pretty on white plates.

Ok, I’m switching to 8.

7 or 8.

8!

#1 but replace the white napkin with the small green checked napkin.

2 and 5. But now you give us 8 and it’s good too. But I love the green rimmed plates!

8

2, 4, 8

I think 8 is perfect.

5 or 8 nice combos!

I like simple and was a fan of #1 but then 8 is perfect IMO. What centerpiece? What's on the menu?

#2 and #7

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I think #8 is the one I'll use and I wouldn't have put it together without your help.

Linderhof, I think the menu will be simple as there will only be four of us. Scrambled eggs, bacon, strawberries with lemon creme fraiche optional, toasted brioche or cinnamon bread, champagne, orange juice, coffee.

2 and 7.....boy, do I need to get new placemats and napkins!

8!

8! The menu sounds lovely. What can I bring? ;)

Another vote for 8. Cheerful and pretty and, as others have said, food looks better on a white plate.

No. 4. But like them all. ETA, no 8. Didn’t notice that you had 4 more additions to the original 4. 4 and 8 are my faves.

If plaid cloth is a given, I'd go with a white plate (and the bird napkin), so my vote is for 8. The white gives it some space and makes the details of the floral bird napkin stand out more.

Plaid and the colorful plate with flowers and flower napkin is too much IMO.

Jojoco, just bring your charming self and your spouse. We would enjoy having you visit.

Fun2bhere -- sounds like a good menu! But . . . I always say the difference between breakfast and brunch is dessert! LOL! I always serve a dessert (it COULD be cinnamon rolls or a sweeter coffee cake) at brunch time. What centerpiece?

Linderhof, I wish you were here to make one of your delicious desserts for us! The cinnamon bread I have is very sweet and glazed so I think it will have to suffice. If I set the table with the butter, jam, creme fraiche and coffee accoutrement added to the place settings, there's really not room for a centerpiece. I might place one bloom in a bud vase at each place instead.

2,5,8. I know I am late. Enjoy your brunch!

just saw this. 8 also. Then 1 and 3.

I'm late to the party. In order... 8 or 5, with the white placemat.

Definitely #8...love white plates and plaids and birds!

The table setting before adding any flowers. I'll see what's blooming in the garden tomorrow morning. I may decide to move the coffee-related items to another adjacent counter.

• Whew! I made it to the bottom, too late to vote, but I'm not looking to go buy anything either. The last discussion of mixing china I got into resulted in me buying some plates and bowls to mix in with my mom's china -- and then finding some additional stems of a discontinued French crystal that I had to buy. But I have some white china with red rosebuds that would look really cute with your tablecloth! Strawberries and such too. Heehee.

Beautiful. Love it.

Lovely. Sweet birds. Are they salt and pepper?

Very nice! Enjoy your brunch!

Lacatx, I would love to see your dishes. I'm crazy for dishware! I wonder where that other thread is. I would like to revisit it.

Natesg, yes, the birdies are salt and pepper.

Looks great! Have fun at your brunch!

Fun2Be, this isn't my listing, but this was a quick way to get a photo of the pattern.

Have a fun brunch!

Lacatx, I like that pattern because the rosebuds are more graphic than realistic so the pattern feels more contemporary.

I like your side bowls with the pattern inside. Very cute!

I loved the bird napkins with the blue/turquoise color so glad they made it to your beautiful table! Looks lovely!

Fun2be -- those were the everyday dishes we registered for when we got married -- 27 tears ago. The pattern has been discontinued and when we redid the kitchen I decided I was tired of it and it didn't really fit my house full of guys. I haven't used it and the boys have not interest i ever having it, plus I got my mom's china when she passed. I have to make choices, so the rosebuds are going away. Just need to decide how.

Hope you had a nice brunch.

Brunch was very nice. The guests brought a berry tart and a small orchid which was perfect since I hadn’t planned a dessert. I enjoyed seeing the pictures from their most recent travels
