Color Coordination with Fresh, Bright Ingredients

Color matters in social media picture posts, so focus on fresh, bright ingredients to create a balanced, appealing brunch dish. Colors should play off one another, creating a deliciously inviting and visually stunning contrast.

For instance, the vibrant red of strawberries and tomatoes complements the vivid greens of avocados and spinach. Throw in sunny yellows with eggs and peppers, and you will have a colorful brunch platter fit for an instant Instagram post.

Texture Varieties: Soft, Crunchy, Delicious Layers

When pictures are crisp, clear, and impressive, you can see textures. You can imagine how food will feel on your tongue. Play with texture innovation by combining them for a photogenic brunch platter.

For example, the creaminess of soft cheeses would blend well with the crunchiness of toasted, fresh-baked bread. The softness of a perfectly poached egg would complement the crispness of bacon and a side of crusty, buttery toast. The key is creating a brunch platter that makes viewers salivate just by looking at the picture.

An Elegant Arrangement: Symmetry, Asymmetry, and Negative Space

Arrangement is a big deal when creating an Insta-worthy brunch platter. Not everything has to be perfectly symmetrical; asymmetry can add interest and allure, giving the platter a natural look.

You could even highlight specific foods by separating them from others, leaving negative space that underscores texture and color. A freeform layout can be intentional and well-organized but look laidback and casual, which appeals to more people because not everyone will take the time to organize their food in perfect patterns. It would help if you aimed to make your brunch platters look relatable and achievable by everyday people.
