WellFed - A Bohemian Inspired Brunch
My heart is still bubbling over from the first, of now monthly, WellFed Event at The Well Collaborative. This place, these people, this community has captured a piece of my heart and I’m forever changed. I’m so honored to be a member at The Well and you can check out their website to see if membership might be right for you. However, WellFed and many other events at The Well are open to EVERYONE…..you are always welcome.
This Bohemian Inspired Brunch was the perfect start to a beautiful Mothers Day weekend. Mothers, Daughters, Friends, Sisters, Girlfriends came together around the table to celebrate the beauty of community, to connect, experience new foods, new activities. The goal was to create an atmosphere where guests could leave all of their cares at the door and just allow themselves to relax and accept the gift of relaxation in a tranquil atmosphere.
As guests arrived, they were greeted with a few signature beverage options. Beautiful hand made syrups of Cardamom Rose & Hibiscus Lime to enhance their sparkling water or a Mimosa featuring the floral deliciousness of Lola Rose from Pelee Island Winery in Canada.
Guests were led to our Flower Crown station to create something beautiful. I was inspired by the simplicity of Lauren Conrad’s DIY Flower Crown Tutorial and it was stunning to see how everyone’s flower crown had its own unique design to it. We sourced beautiful flowers and greenery from our Broadway neighbour, Bills House of Flowers. Watching women crown each other with these floral crowns was a sacred moment, showing deep care and connection. It was absolutely beautiful to be a part of.
Nestled in the corner, was an intimate writing desk with a vintage Olivetti Red Typewriter (Yes, I asked for a typewriter for Christmas as a child and my wish came true!) beckoning guests to sit down and stay a while as they took crisp sheets of floral paper and one by one typed letters of love to friends, sealing it with a vintage stamp. Laughter ensued, as we realized how much brain power it takes to type when you can’t erase or backspace!
When it was time to feast, jaws dropped, cameras flashed and audible oohs and ahhs were exhaled. I’m surprised Instagram didn’t blow up from all the beautiful & delicious content posted. The incredible, beautiful & talented Courtney from Ellamental Mama went above and beyond and not only created the most incredible menu, but poured all of herself into it. The menu included honey glazed citrus salad, floral crepes topped with fresh fruit, chocolate avocado mousse, cardamom rose chia pudding, carrot lox toasts all adorned with edible florals from Pure Roots. It was all divine!
Leaving just enough room for a doughnut dessert, Pals Donuts left us with the perfect sweet ending to a beautiful event. Laughter, stories, sharing and Instax photos were abundant as we all nourished ourselves, mind body and soul. It was magic! As the morning made way into the afternoon, it was time to say goodbye, leaving this beautiful experience to capture a piece of our memory forever.
Cheers to Celebrating today!
