Hosting a simple, yet elegant Mother’s Day Brunch is a wonderful way to celebrate the special women in our lives.
Simply dress up your table with some pretty linens and fresh flowers – it’s amazing what a simple tablecloth and flowers can do to dress up the table! And don’t be shy about borrowing extra dishes, china or serving platters from family or friends. Personally, I love the eclectic look of mismatched dishes and platters.
Most important, keep the menu simple, yet delicious. A selection of easy recipes that you can prepare in advance makes it much easier to put together a beautiful and tasty gathering with very little stress.
To help, I’m sharing one of my favorite brunch menus perfect for Mother’s Day, hosting a bridal or baby shower, or just for sharing a fun afternoon with good friends. I’ve even included notes about when I typically prepare these foods. As you can see, little cooking is necessary the day of the event, leaving plenty of time, to tidy up the house a bit, set the table and enjoy a wonderful time of fellowship!

Hosting a Mother’s Day brunch is all about simple pleasures – a time to sip tea, enjoy good food, relax and share a memorable afternoon together. It truly is a wonderful way to honor and appreciate the special women in our lives!
Wishing all of you beautiful moms a blessed and relaxing Mother’s Day Weekend!
