Mothers Day Table Decor

Mother’s Day Table Decorations

What do you think of when you think about celebrating Mother’s Day? My mind immediately goes to pretty floral china and a brunch menu with mimosas! That’s why I decided to create this gorgeous mothers day table with lots of floral decorations and colors.

For this table I used my collection of vintage china mixed with modern pieces for an eclectic, feminine table setting. The result is this lovely table that’s perfect for a late morning brunch or for a mothers day tea party.

I love layering dishes and using different designs that complement one another. The secrets to achieving the right look are simple: follow a specific theme and color.

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 inserted some new finds into the mix as well.

The key to layering different patterns is to balance busy patterns with more solid ones. Here, the middle plate gives the eye a rest between the other two floral dishes.

The flower arrangement centerpiece is full and lush and picks up the colors in the dishes, making the table a cohesive design. See how to make flower arrangements on a budget, that still looks lush!

If you’re hosting a group of mom friends, add this free printable Happy Mother’s Day card to each place setting. You can write a sweet personal note inside.

Add even more floral detail with this Mother’s day printable card. These are beautiful and you can print one out for each of your mom friends, or print a single one for your mother.

Highlight colorful vintage glassware by placing it next to sleek, modern tea cups and saucers.

PARTY TIP: Don’t have enough matching napkins to go around? Improvise! While this setting was for 5, I only had 4 of the matching napkins. So to continue the mix and match composition of the table, I used a piece of fabric in a similar color and style, and layered it over a solid white napkin. It totally works!

Add a personal touch with diy photo place cards. Use family photos or collect vintage black and white photos from an antique shop.

More Decoration Ideas

The styling doesn’t have to stop at the tabletop. Carry over the floral theme into other areas of the party space.

Make the bar or buffet table another focal point with theme decorations. Add fabric to an empty frame, embellish with fabric flowers, and attach a mother’s day card to it.

Serve a donut tree with more flowers and fresh mint leaves filling in the blank spaces.

Provide a little side table for a special bottle of champagne. It’s a celebration of mom after all! 

You can incorporate even more floral decor with a diy wine bottle cooler that’s decorated with spray roses and greenery.
