While you might not be able to take mom out there are still dozens of ways to make her day special. Here are several lovely Mother’s Day Brunch Ideas.
I love the idea of a Mother’s Day brunch served alfresco style. Search your cupboards and closets for similar items. Happy garden roses, dishtowel napkins, and candles are perfectly sweet.

Mother’s Day Brunch Ideas
If you have lovely weather use some mismatched chairs, vintage glassware and lighting for a truly lovely table.
Yes to yellow! It appears a decorative curtain panel was used as the tablecloth and runner.
Create a centerpiece in minutes by piling colorful fruit into a wooden crate. Add in some roses and greenery clipped from the garden.
Wonderful graphics can be found just by googling your favorite subject matter. Here beautiful birds were printed out and paired with a simply sweet cage.
Darling pink stripes and polka dots. Using all paper products makes for an easy cleanup which Mom’s love.
Soft green ribbon draped over a white cloth. Easy and elegant.
Brunch Recipes and Ideas
My favorite is French toast with strawberry syrup.
Ham and egg crepe squares. I’ll take two.
Even store-bought donuts can be elevated to something special. Just used thrift store candlesticks and a wooden dowel.
Happy Mother’s Day!

As usual, you have created one of those posts that I have to save to savor. So beautiful.
Oh my! This is pure eye candy. Every photo is as gorgeous as the previous. I have to pin some of these.
How kind of you to pray for blogging friends. I'll return the favor and say a special prayer for you today too.

Hey Gorgeous Lady,
Congratulations to miss fashionista. What pretty table settings, and may I please have my comment today register for tomorrow's Mother's Day giveaway. My husband is coming home today, he's been gone for 5 weeks in the Philippines and I'm just not going to be on the computer tomorrow. If not, don't worry. It looks like a fantastic giveaway. I also want you to know that I think of you regularly and always keep you in my prayers.
Love ya'
Meri

w/L and a prayer.
What a beautiful post! Love your new header, and not just because purple is my favorite color. Congrats to your daughter on a job well done.
Absolutely gorgeous settings! I am sending a link to this to my husband. Since we can't go home for Mother's Day this year, maybe he'll get inspired.
I think it is so wonderful to have a National Day of Prayer. I hope everyone in our nation took it to heart.
So many wonderful ideas I usually host Mother’s day but this year will be different. NJ will remain shutdown at a minimum until May 15th.
My stepmom also has heart problems. so she has to be extra careful. I’m sad because my dad’s birthday wi be missed as well as my stepbrother’s birthday.

I simply love all of it.
I want to have a big breakfast party!
I think I have to pin it all.
Thanks for all the inspiration today Laura 🙂
YAY for the Fashionista!! What a relief to have that finished. I have been praying for you off and on the past couple of days. May God continue to carry you!
And those table settings are gorgeous. AND I really want to win that giveaway! Some really cool stuff going in it!
I am so glad to hear about the Fashionista! That is one less thing to worry about – and hopefully now she can take a break :-).
I love every single table setting here! They are absolutely stunning! I just wish my mother lived a little closer – I would love to put some of these ideas into practice!
Oh, my, all this inspiration is simply beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
Blessings,
Susie
All the settings look so fresh and welcoming. It would make any mother feel quite special to be invited to dine at them.
Sending a little prayer off for you and your family. {{{Hugs}}}
And best of luck to your very talented daughter on all her exams and essays. A good feeling to have them all done! 🙂
Beautiful Laura! I am drawn to the darling milk bottles especially! I hope life is good for you right now. I wanted to reply to your lovely e mail but could not find it again. Give your amazing son a hug from me, Sally xx
