More and more couples are choosing not to let the festive spirit fade away on Sunday morning—or the day after the wedding. The next-day brunch is the perfect opportunity to extend the celebration, offering a moment of relaxation and togetherness before everyone heads home… without any rush. A laid-back “pool party” perfectly embodies this spirit. The Domaine de Camboyer, with its pool flanked by a terrace, its preserved natural park, and its on-site accommodations, is the perfect embodiment of this dream.
Why have brunch the next day? Relaxation, a friendly atmosphere, and lasting memories
Having brunch the next day allows you to:
- Spend time with the guests in a more relaxed atmosphere—without the stress of the previous evening.
- Give loved ones who have traveled from far away some time to enjoy the place a little longer.
- To offer a moment of transition between the celebration and reality—one that is more intimate, simpler, but just as memorable.
- Highlight the on-site accommodations and services offered to guests. At the Domaine, the 4-star hotel with 15 rooms and the “Le Pigeonnier” guesthouse offer the freedom to enjoy a full weekend.
The Pool Party: A Chic and Relaxed Atmosphere
The estate’s spa and outdoor pool, flanked by a 450 m² terrace, offer a unique setting for a brunch by the water, with a drink in hand, guests dressed in summer attire, and a lighthearted, carefree atmosphere.
Ideas for Ambience & Decor
Opt for simple, natural decor: light-colored linens, vases of wildflowers or local blooms, lightweight tablecloths, and bohemian or minimalist tableware. Tables set in the shade of the trees, a few understated garlands, and lounge chairs or deck chairs around the pool. The morning light, the birdsong, and the tranquility of the park all come together to create a warm, timeless moment.
A fresh, light, and inviting menu—one that appeals to everyone
A pool-party brunch works well with fresh dishes that are easy to share and cater to all tastes: homemade juices, seasonal fruit, pastries, artisanal breads, colorful salads, local cheeses, light grilled dishes or tapas, and homemade desserts. To accommodate everyone’s needs, be sure to include vegetarian and even vegan options.
At the estate, thanks to its in-house catering services and the ability to bring in outside caterers, the organization remains flexible.
Comfort, accommodations, and well-being are a real plus
After the party, your guests don’t have to leave.The Domaine’s4-star hotel, with its 15 rooms and suites, as well as the “Le Pigeonnier” vacation rental (135 m², sleeps 6 to 8 people), offer the perfect setting for a long weekend.
A peaceful, stress-free morning—with the chance to enjoy a spa, a gourmet breakfast, and the surrounding nature—allows you to extend the wedding experience in a memorable way.
Low-impact activities to extend the experience
In addition to brunch and the pool, the estate offers a variety of activities that create a relaxing and friendly atmosphere: bike rentals, walks in the park—designated a “Sensitive Natural Area”—relaxing at the spa, a game of pétanque or ping-pong, and socializing in the lounge or library…
As a result, brunch turns into a mini-weekend, offering a seamless blend of fun, relaxation, nature, and celebration.
Some practical tips for planning
- Plan for the ideal time: brunch around 10:00 or 11:00 a.m. to enjoy the soft morning light and give guests a chance to rest.
- Mention the brunch in the save-the-date or invitation so that guests plan to stay—especially those coming from far away.
- Choose a caterer or food service provider that can deliver or set up simple, customizable buffets by the pool.
- Organize the space in a seamless way: a dining area, a pool and relaxation area, and possibly a children’s or family area.
- In case of uncertain weather, have a Plan B: although the pool and terrace are ideal, the estate also has lounges and indoor spaces if needed.
