I hope everyone had a wonderful Mother’s Day!

As mentioned last week, the Husband and I planned a small family brunch with his parents and grandmother. The party was simple, but scrumptious.

One of our favorite things about springtime is our small, but pretty garden. It’s filled with blue hydrangeas, and lots of pretty azaleas.

So, it just seemed natural to pull together Mother’s Day Brunch ideas inspired by those pretty flowers.

Easy Garden-Inspired Mother’s Day Brunch Ideas

Decorations:

Let’s start with the decor, shall we?

Garden Inspired Mother's Day brunch ideas in blue and green

I decided to keep the color scheme simple, based on the blue and green from my favorite hydrangea plant in the yard.

Adding some inexpensive white lace on top of a pale blue bedsheet was an easy, and perfectly feminine backdrop. (see how I made the backdrop here)

White flowers in a green vase with blue accents, and a card with the quote "A Mother is One to whom you hurry when you are troubled" by Emily Dickenson

All of the serve ware was in natural shades of green and brown or copper. And a simple bouquet of white store-bought flowers brought the garden inside.

There were plenty of little touches as well:

  • Quotes about Mothers on flower-shaped prints
  • Green ribbon wrapped around our three-tiered serving tray (get one that’s similar)
  • Green ribbon tied through the appetizer spoons, and
  • A simple “Celebrate Mom” banner, spelled out in daisies.

The Mother’s Day Brunch Menu:

Mother's Day Brunch foods including blue rose champagne macarons, mini French toast cupcakes, lavender shortbread, and quiche wedges

 

We kept the menu small, but included a good mix of fun twists and easy store-bought fillers:

  • caprese salad spoons,
  • homemade blue rose and champagne macarons,
  • salted Nutella croissants,
  • lavender shortbread,
  • french toast mini-cupcakes with maple-swiss buttercream
  • assorted cheeses with fresh bread and crackers
  • cinnamon buns, and
  • Ham and broccoli quiche, cut into wedges.

    @ Jackie – It looks like I'll be doing several posts about making macarons. I'll definitely include the source for the recipe that created those amazing rose cookies (seriously…a.ma.zing)

    @Paula – Thanks so much! It looks so small now compared to when I was putting it together. Who knew?!
