Mother's Day Tablescape With Love
There is something very endearing about Mother’s Day. It is a time when we want to show our mothers how much we love them.
Flowers symbolize love, and this table reflects how my mother made me feel throughout my life. She was a warm, sweet mother who was fiercely protective of her children and a constant nurturing soul.
““Mama was my greatest teacher, a teacher of compassion, love and fearlessness. If love is sweet as a flower, then my mother is that sweet flower of love.””
The theme of my table is Mother’s Day. I channeled the warmth and deep love of my mother when designing it. Creating with your heart makes the best of any design.
I mixed old decor with new. I used a combination of vintage flatware that was my mother’s with new place settings. The napkins are lovely linen embroidered French blue flower that gives this table a spring-like look and feel and complements the florals throughout the rest of the table. I was looking for a more springtime grandmillennial design. Ruffles, flowers, and vintage decor always WORK for this design AESTHETICS.
The table runner is just a gorgeous piece of beaded lace that I found at a fabric wholesale WAREHOUSE. I love to rummage through these stores to find remnants, and at times, you can run into amazing finds. This was one of them.
““Earth laughs in flowers.”

The centerpiece is a lovely combination of spring colors that tie the tablecloth’s different hues to the other items.
I had enough flowers left over to create another sweet floral design using this cement female statue head planter I found in Flower Magazine. I put it on my coffee table to complement the rest of the space near the dining table.
After dining, I always place the centerpieces that I designed in areas where we can appreciate them a little longer. I generally like to serve dessert in my LIVING ROOM after dinner. The flowers are perfect for a pretty little dessert vignette on my COFFEE TABLE.
This tulip just captives me!
When using my vintage gold flatware, I love to add other hints of gold elements throughout my table. It brings together the overall cohesiveness of the table.

The vase I am using is a Simon Pearce hurricane vessel. I use it for so many things. I add candles and twinkle lights and even use it as a flower vase. It’s one of my favorite purchases since it is versatile and can be used anywhere.
Here is a video of my tablescape.
