The Joy of Motherhood

The Joy of Motherhood

The Joy of Motherhood. All this week we are sharing Mother’s Day Celebrations, and this brunch from Something Chic Designs is so gorgeous!

From Christina:

What is more special then intimate time spent with the ones you love, as you celebrate the joy of motherhood? On Mother’s Day, nothing is. By hosting a Mother’s Day brunch you can do just that this year. I created an intimate Mother + Daughter brunch using inspiration from Tiny Prints Pretty Wreath stationary collection. This is a great line to inspire your next celebration, as well as coordinating gifts as you prepare togarnish the Mother’s in your life with love.

Instead of planning a large brunch like I traditionally do, I put emphasis on the personalization ofeach guests’ garnished gifts in order to focus on the significance of thecelebration.

The soft design touches began with the color palette using soft pinks with bright yellow. Then, complementing that with pastel green and purple to visually enhance the style. These colors are even thefocal point of the gifts. Notice the Forever Dots: Goldenrod pillow, perfect for any mother. Also, the khaki on khaki Herringbone full name throw (my personal favorite gift!)

I have been eyeing the vintage birdcage featured on the brunch table for a while now. Filling the birdcage with fresh blueberry muffins and butter croissants strategically worked perfectly for the design. The photographer was able to capture great imagery by the peeks of the wood muffin toppers and just a pinch of the croissants.

Other style details include: personalized pastel mini cakes from Maribelle Cakery topped with wood cake topper sticks with personalized labels, coordinating paper bird accessories by Paper Acorn,and bold place settings incorporating more of the Tiny Prints stationary, which fit well with the other designs of the project.
