Hosting an Easter Brunch: Best Glassware for Mimosas & Bellinis
Easter is one of those holidays that feels like a breath of fresh air—quite literally. It arrives with the bloom of spring, longer days, pastel everything, and the irresistible aroma of brunch favorites drifting through the house. Whether you celebrate it for religious reasons or simply as a cheerful get-together with loved ones, Easter is the perfect excuse to gather, sip, and savor.
In the U.S., Easter Sunday is typically spent attending church services, followed by a family meal, egg hunts, and sweet treats like chocolate bunnies and jelly beans. But across the globe, Easter takes on many unique forms. In Italy, for instance, families enjoy a feast featuring lamb, artichokes, and the famous Colomba cake, a dove-shaped sweet bread. In Sweden and Finland, children dress up as little witches and go door-to-door for candy, similar to Halloween. Meanwhile in Greece, Easter is celebrated with candlelit processions, firework displays, and lamb roasted on a spit. No matter the traditions, food and drink are always at the center of it all—and that's where brunch comes in.
There’s just something cozy yet celebratory about Easter brunch. It’s not as formal as a dinner, yet it still feels special. You can mix sweet and savory dishes, wear a flowy spring outfit, and set a table that’s both elegant and relaxed.
Hosting an Easter brunch at home lets you create your own traditions, whether it’s your first time or your annual favorite event. And let’s be honest—Mimosas and Bellinis are always on the guest list.
Hosting Tips for a Beautiful Brunch
Start with a spring-inspired menu.
Think fresh and colorful: quiche, deviled eggs, smoked salmon bagels, roasted asparagus, fruit tarts, and mini pancakes. Add a mix of make-ahead dishes and a few last-minute warm bites to keep things stressfree.
Set the mood with a seasonal table.
Decorate with soft linens, fresh tulips, ceramic bunnies, or hand-painted eggs. A touch of gold flatware or vintage-style glassware adds instant charm.
Create a self-serve drink station.
Let guests help themselves to Mimosas and Bellinis. Include fresh juices, fruit garnishes, and chilled Prosecco so everyone can mix their perfect pour.
Prep your glassware ahead of time.
Which brings us to one of the most overlooked details: the glassware. Trust us, the right glass makes all the difference.

When it comes to festive brunch cocktails, presentation is key. You’ve put love into the food and the flowers—don’t let your drinks fall flat.
Sparkling Wine Flute
The classic mimosa deserves a classic vessel. A tall, slim sparkling wine flute helps preserve the bubbles in your Prosecco or Champagne and gives your drink that elegant, celebratory look.

Coupe Glass
Want to switch it up? Serve Bellinis in coupe glasses. These wide, shallow glasses have an old-Hollywood charm and work beautifully for drinks with fresh fruit purée.
Stemless Wine Glass
Hosting outdoors? Stemless wine glasses are great for casual mingling. They’re harder to knock over and still look stylish. They also work well for non-alcoholic drinks, iced teas, and even yogurt parfaits or layered desserts.
