Beautiful Brunch for Mother’s Day & Beyond

I’m excited to share this table created by interior designer, Charity of Teaselwood Design. It has a rustic Farmhouse influence, but is elegant and classic.

Set a gorgeous table based on a neutral palette with pops of color, and mix in some formal items to give it a special look for Mother’s Day brunch.

Set a Base Layer

Create a beautiful brunch table for Mother’s day and beyond by laying a neutral tone runner in a classic check pattern. It will become the base for tons of tables in your future.

Centerpiece

A gorgeous centerpiece is easy to create with a large bunch of flowers and a clear vase. Hydrangeas are a favorite because they give you volume without spending a fortune. See more of my tips for arranging flowers to help guide you.

Place Settings

Mother’s day falls in the middle of tulip season. Add a single stem on top of her plate to add a little flourish to the setting.

Layer neutral dishes with woven chargers and coordinating linen napkins. This layering process makes everyday dishes look special.

Write a happy mothers day note on a strip of paper and wrap it around the flower stem. Simple but impactful.

Unify the Look

Incorporate the food and drink into the table decor so the look is completely unified.

Serve peach-lemonade punch in this glass pitcher. The color matches the tulips and adds pops of color all the way around the table when poured into these glasses.

Place a layer cake on a cake pedestal for height and prominence. It also gives anticipation for dessert.

Don’t you just love the pops of color that the tulips and punch bring to the table! Not to mention that delicious looking cake from Dina Sakal. The entire look is a study in how simple elements can be gathered and layered to create an elegant and interesting design. This is perfectly set for Mother’s day or any family gathering that you want to make more special.
