Simple Spring Colors

Mother’s Day is the perfect spring holiday. For your upcoming brunch, tie the season and the holiday together with seasonal colors, cocktails, and fun bites like fresh fruit and simple snacks. Some of our favorite bites are melon-balled fruit, fruit-based cocktails, mini quiches, and small danishes. Not only are these dishes simple and delicious, they go perfectly with seasonal colors such as yellow, lush green, light pink, and soft peach.

Colorful & Curated

To take things to the next level, curate your Mother’s Day brunch to become a true event. First, be sure to adorn the table with things that are fitting to her style.  If she loves to use fine china, use those in the place settings along with classic floral centerpieces like hydrangeas. If she is a women of simplicity, have the place settings consist of a decorative name card and just one of her favorite flowers. When it comes to the menu, simply serve her favorite dishes.

Breakfast in Bed

Mother’s day is for pampering and appreciating the women who raised us! One of the best ways to spoil them is with a breakfast-in-bed-style brunch. The key to executing this theme perfectly is to make the decor classy and the setting very comfortable. Once you’ve set the table with classic farm style dishes and vintage crystal goblets, you can then encourage your guests to dress up in their finest pajamas for a cozy, comfy brunch.

Cocktails & Charcuterie

A tablescape filled with charcuterie and other smorgasbord dishes makes for such a stunning layout. Add simple and fresh cocktails like sangria, mimosas, or white wine and your guests are sure to love the chic effort you put into the brunch. Instead of individual place settings, use quality butcher blocks and other bold serving boards along with stainless steel flatware and serving ware.

Nature Inspired Details

One of the best things about Spring is eating outdoors!  Our favorite Mother’s Day Brunch outdoor table top idea includes nature-inspired decor. We recommend sticking to a subtle design with linens and plates, a unique color of flatware, and pops of color in your centerpieces and glassware. Utilizing wooden plates paired with colors such as blues, greens, and soft pinks are sure to bring the whole look together in a natural and fresh way.
