What Does Mother’s Day Mean to You?
I’ll be honest with you Mother’s Day is always a bittersweet day for me.
My mom passed away when I was 23 so I’ve lived most of my adult life without her.
So when it comes to this special day it’s met with a mix of emotions.
I’m a bit selfish on Mother’s Day and usually just focus on myself! lol
When my kids were younger we usually spent the day together starting with brunch and then something fun outdoors like strawberry picking or hiking.
But for the past several years I’ve been away over Mother’s Day weekend with Emma for dance so we’d meet the boys for a late dinner on Sunday when we got back in town.
Since she’s in college now and won’t have a dance competition I wonder what we will do this year.
Now that my dining room table looks so pretty styled for this blog post, I should leave it for my family and they can make me brunch like the good old days!
Where to Host a Mother’s Day Luncheon

I set a beautiful but simple table in my dining room this week.
Let’s take a closer look at how I styled my tablescape.
How to Create a Stunning Centerpiece
This large antique wood trough bowl fills most of the middle of my dining room table.
I recently scored this beautiful vintage piece at our local antique store.
This an incredible replica from Pottery Barn is gorgeous too.
You can see how I style my dough bowl every day for spring by clicking here.
Since this piece is so big it needs large items to fill it.
I bought three hydrangea plants at Lowe’s Home Improvement and just love the bright pink color.
The basic garden planter was inside these tan plastic faux distressed pots when I purchased them.
What a find!
I thought I’d need to repot the plants before using them for the centerpiece of my Mother’s Day tablescape but I totally lucked out with these.
All I had to do was set the hydrangea pots in my wood dough bowl and the centerpiece was complete.
Can’t get much more simple than that!
And after Mother’s Day, I can move these plants outdoors.
How to Set a Mother’s Day Table
I try to use as many items as I already own when styling a new tablescape.
Often I use my everyday plates that I’ve had for years from Pottery Barn.
This dinnerware is such a great neutral design that coordinates with so many different styles.
The natural woven round placemats add some much needed contrast between the white tabletop and the white dinner plates.
And the cream-colored fringed linen napkin between the dinner and salad plates provides a bit more texture.
The neutral color scheme of the place settings allows the vibrant color of the flowers to shine.
Simple wine glasses are ready to be filled for Mom to enjoy her favorite wine during lunch.
The pretty gold flatware completes each place setting on the table.
How to Make a Mother’s Day Table Special
Often I just pull the napkin through a pretty napkin ring and place it on top of each plate.
But if I can I like to find something unique to go with the theme of my tablescape design.
I found these cute small glass cloche in Hobby Lobby the other day and knew they’d be perfect on the table.
However, I wasn’t sure what to put under them.
I considered a small succulent or a single tiny flower stem.
Then when I was in Costco I saw a bag of Lindt Lindor truffles wrapped in shiny pink and gold foil.
That was it!
The chocolates would look so beautiful under a glass cloche on each guest plate.
Happy Mother’s Day
Remember that creating a beautiful and memorable table setting doesn’t have to be difficult.
With these simple ideas, you can make your mom feel special and make her Mother’s Day a day that she won’t soon forget.
So make sure to use these ideas as a guide, add in your own unique touches, and enjoy the time with the important women in your life.
