Setting a Mother's Day Brunch Table

Setting a mothers day brunch table is easy with ideas for mixing old and new items for a beautiful display.

There are only a few days left to think about Mother’s Day, and besides these 20 tips for entertaining with tea, I haven’t created anything for it in years! But when FTD offered to send me one of their Mother’s Day flower arrangements, I knew I had to design a table around it.

For this Mother’s day brunch table I used my collection of vintage china and mixed it with some modern pieces for an eclectic, feminine tabletop. Check out the details and more ideas below.

Mothers Day Brunch Table tips and ideas:

I love layering dishware and using different designs that complement one another. The secrets to achieving the right look are simple: follow a certain theme and color way. Here, I’ve used similar colors and a floral motif, as well as hints of gold. You can see the details in each of the place settings, and how they all work together. While most of the pieces are vintage, I’ve actually inserted some new finds into the mix as well {all of which were found at HomeGoods on various outings}.
The glassware is also a mix of old and new. The pretty pink glasses are vintage, while the tea cups and saucers are modern.
The flower arrangement from FTD is full and lush and picks up the colors in the dishes, making the table a cohesive design.
Don’t have enough matching napkins to go around? Improvise! While this setting was for 5, I had only 4 of the matching blue and white napkins I wanted to use. So to continue the mix and match composition of the table, I used a piece of fabric that has a similar color and style and layered it over a solid cream color napkin. Totally works!
Provide a little side table for a special bottle of champagne. It’s a celebration of mom after all! And for brunch, pick some of these dishes to serve:

Chicken quiche or goat cheese quiche

Strawberries & Cream

Bacon bites

Cinnamon-Sugar muffins

Make-ahead Breakfast Casserole

Hashbrown-ham Brunch Casserole

Don’t forget the gifts and a card, and lots of hugs and kisses for mom! Cheers.
