Shop Our Mother's Day Edit

Mother's Day is right around the corner, and we couldn't think of a better way to celebrate than by sharing what we want on our own tables right now and what we'd pick for our own moms. Set a beautiful table for the mom in your life, or treat yourself.

Lisa's Mother's Day Picks

My table always comes back to blue and white. There's something about that combination that feels timeless but never stiff. This year I'm layering our rattan navy placemats with the Pavilion Paper plates, which honestly stopped me in my tracks. They have that blue-and-white china look I've always loved, but the fact that they're paper means they're not precious. Set a stunning table, enjoy the moment, and skip the dishes.

Xanthe's Mother's Day Picks

If you know me, you know I can't resist a color moment — and Mother's Day is the perfect excuse to lean in. My picks this year are built around my favorite pink Pavilion Paper Pink Lovebirds Plate and Lucy Grymes Cherry Blossom Paper Placemats. It's joyful and a little bit fancy all at once — which is exactly how Mother's Day should feel. This is the table I'd want to sit down to, and honestly, the one I'm setting for myself this year.

How to Create a Beautiful Mother's Day Brunch at Home

The best Mother's Day brunch isn't about the food, it's about the feeling — that moment when she walks in and everything looks like someone really thought about her. Here's how to get there without losing your mind in the process.

  • Start with the Table

    Everything else flows from here. Pick a color story and go with it. Blue and white feels crisp and summery. Pink and green feels joyful and celebratory, like the whole garden just bloomed. Lay down your placemats first, then build up — dinner plate, dessert plate, napkin folded simply to one side. Done before the coffee is even brewed.

  • Make it Personal

    This is the part that costs nothing and means everything. Have the kids write her name on a place card. Tuck a handwritten note under her plate — even just a line or two. Put her favorite flowers in a small vase, or line the table with photos of her favorite moments as a mom. These are the details she'll remember later.

  • Keep the Menu Simple

    A beautiful brunch doesn't need to be complicated. A fritatta or a quiche, a fruit plate, good pastries from a bakery you love, fresh orange juice, and something bubbly to pour into it. The table does the heavy lifting — the food is just a minor detail. A beautiful table, a thoughtful menu, a morning set aside just for her.

  • Skip the Dishes

    The goal is a morning that feels special and completely effortless. Give yourself the gift of easy and choose high quality paper plates and placemats that can be recycled when brunch is over.

  • Treat Yourself

    Mother's Day has a funny way of being all about everyone else. This year, we're giving you permission to set the table that makes you happy. You've earned it.

  • Protect Your Afternoon

    Brunch ends, and then — the important part — do whatever you want. A nap. A yoga class. A book and absolutely nobody asking you anything. The brunch was the celebration. The rest of the day is yours.
