If you're getting married in the Dallas area, and you'd like to organize a bridal-party brunch for the day before or even the day of your wedding -- a nice idea to thank your family and friends for their support and to de-stress after months and months of planning -- try Bread Winners Bakery & Cafe in the North Dallas Uptown area on McKinney Avenue (there are two additional locations: at Inwood Village on Lovers Lane and in Plano on Preston Road).

Bread Winners is a charming local restaurant that offers a full breakfast and lunch menu on weekdays and a delicious weekend brunch menu. The ambiance matches the menu -- fun and authentic. Sit outside in the courtyard and order a frozen peach Bellini or a pomegranate margarita to start things off. After brunch (maybe banana bread French toast or a smoked salmon scramble), pick up a dozen cocktail buns in the bakery for your bridal party to munch on later in the day.

Reservations are accepted and with 15 or more people, you can organize an in-house party with your own customized menu.
