How to set the table for Mother's Day

3. Add flowers and greenery
Flowers are indispensable on Mother's Day, and therefore also on the festively decorated table. They are a beautiful and symbolic element for Mother's Day! Here are some flowers that fit perfectly with a festive table setting for Mother's Day:
1. Roses - Roses are the classic when it comes to Mother's Day. They symbolize love and appreciation. Choose soft pastel shades like pink, cream or white for an elegant look.
2. Tulips - Tulips bring a fresh and cheerful atmosphere. They are perfect for Mother's Day, especially in bright colors like red, yellow or pink, or in the subtle pastel shades of spring.
3. Lilies - Lilies exude luxury and have a wonderful scent. They fit well in a romantic setting and are also a good choice for Mother's Day, especially white or soft pink varieties.
4. Carnations - Carnations are versatile and long-lasting. They come in a variety of colors, from white and pink to vibrant red and orange, and symbolize love and admiration.
5. Gerberas - Gerberas are cheerful and colorful, which makes them ideal for Mother's Day. They fit well into a colorful theme and add energy to a beautifully set table.
6. Orchids - Orchids are elegant and have an exotic look. They are perfect for a sophisticated and luxurious table setting and are especially beautiful when presented in a beautiful pot.
7. Hydrangeas - Hydrangeas are voluminous and have a romantic look. The soft colors like pastel blue, pink or white fit nicely with a classic Mother's Day setting of the set table.
8. Freesias - Freesias are fragrant flowers that have delicate, colorful blooms. They bring a fresh scent and colorful look, perfect for a light Mother's Day table setting.
9. Easter Flowers (Primulas) - If Mother's Day falls in the spring, Easter flowers are a cute choice. They come in a wide range of colors, from pastels to bright yellows and purples.
10. Sunflowers - If you want to go for a cheerful and summery look, sunflowers are a great choice. They add a sunny vibe to your Mother's Day table.
Place a beautiful bunch of fresh flowers, of the same type or a combination of different types of flowers, in the middle of the table. You can also use small vases with different flowers for a playful and colorful effect. Also some greenery, such as eucalyptus or sprigs of rosemary, gives a natural and fresh look.

4. Think about the table linen
A beautiful tablecloth or runner immediately adds atmosphere to the table. Choose linen or cotton in a colour that matches your theme. Napkins in the same style complete the set table. A folded napkin with a small flower or name card on it adds that little bit of extra attention.

5. Make it personal
A personal touch makes the table setting complete. Write a sweet note, place a small gift next to the plate and serve her favorite dish. That way your mother will feel really special. No inspiration for a card? Here are some examples:
1. For the sweetest mom,
Today is all about you.
Enjoy this moment –
prepared with love.
2. You are the heart of our home,
Today we put you in the spotlight.
Thank you for everything, dear mom!
3. A small gesture,
for a big heart.
Happy Mother's Day!
4. Dear Mom,
you deserve a party every day.
Today we start at the table 💗
5. Enjoy this day,
enjoy the goodies,
but most of all: enjoy yourself.
Because you are awesome!

with a table full of goodies and a big smile

6. Provide atmospheric lighting
Don't forget the lighting! Candles, tea lights or a string of lights create a warm and cozy atmosphere. Especially if you are organizing a dinner, with a beautifully set table, this contributes enormously to the experience.
