While Mother’s Day brunch is a beloved custom in many families, adding a few new elements can make it even more special. We’ve created six unique Mother’s Day brunch themes to spark fresh inspiration for this cherished tradition. Whether you’re dressing up the kitchen table, putting the dining room to good use, or hosting out on the patio, make this Mother’s Day celebration the one to remember.
Having a brunch theme that’s a bit out of the ordinary (but still elevated and fun) is a great way to start planning a Mother’s Day celebration. Each concept stems from our storytelling block print table linens. Our collections provide the basis for brunch themes and celebrations that transport you to another place and time.
Consider Mom’s interests and hobbies, and choose one of the Mother’s Day brunch ideas that fits best. Feel free to use these table settings and ideas as a starting point to build on with your own spin.
Our colorful table linens and intricate patterns make it easy to create a beautiful, photo-ready Mother’s Day table setting. Start with a tablecloth or runner and add a pop with hand-printed napkins in a coordinating color. Then simply add a small, striking centerpiece and personal touches, like handwritten place cards, a sprig of greenery tucked into each napkin, or a single mini candle at each setting.

Brunch Theme #5: Tropical brunch themes for Mother’s Day

A floral table runner looks casually elegant on a natural wood table, making it a great choice for this occasion. In fact, a floral print like this preserves the feeling of this special celebration long after the month of May has passed. Continue building on this tropical brunch theme by giving Mom an exotic bouquet of tropical flowers. After that, why not serve a summery pie for dessert?
