Mother's Day Citrus & Floral Brunch- Styled Two Ways

Celebrate mom this Mother's day by throwing her a 
bright & cheerful citrus and floral brunch. 
Create a gorgeous spread with two different table settings using a mix of colorful diy decor and fresh floral elements. Read on for details and styling tips!

 Setting No. 1- Whimsical & Festive 
Create a simple citrus balloon garland by using yellow, orange and green balloons. 
Cut out leaves on green card stock and 
attach one leaf to each balloon then string them up.

You can hang your balloon garland or use it as table runner.
Use simple white plates & cutlery and mix in some fun pops of color. 

Lemon slice sugar cookies make great place settings or/and favors.

A fresh fruit center piece adds a festive touch to your spread. You can't go wrong with a pineapple! You can also use oranges, lemons and limes,

Emma loves the cookies. Yummy Yummy!


Setting No. 2- Fresh & Elegant
Create an elegant centerpiece using citrus colored blooms. Start by layering greenery and kumquat branches then add some orange roses, pin cushions and yellow mums. 
Use kumquat branches throughout the table.

Fresh leaves make pretty place cards- write names on leaves using a gold metallic pen.




Create a fun & colorful photo booth backdrop.
I used Ikea coasters to make this one- they come in a pack of 10 for 99 cents!


Here's to moms!!
Wishing you a bright & cheery Mother's Day!
