A Simple Springtime Table for Mother’s Day!

A simple springtime table is what I’ll be setting this Mother’s Day weekend.  Even though we can’t celebrate with our extended families this year, it’s still a wonderful time to enjoy a dinner at home and rejoice in the new season!  It might seem extra daunting to set a pretty table with retailers still closed and stay-at-home orders still in place.  But not to worry!  We all have dishes in our cupboards already and with some goodies from around the house and/or yard…we can dress them up perfectly for any holiday!  Today I’m going to share a pretty way to style the tabletop just in time for Mother’s Day using simple items that I already own.  I hope it inspires you to take a peek at what you might have so you can set a lovely table and enjoy a meal with your family!  Let’s get to it…

i created a super easy centerpiece for the table by clustering bottles filled with sprigs from the yard on a serving board…

this is a great way to create a bigger bang for your floral “buck” if you don’t have much blooming yet…

springtime centerpiece

you can use any bottles or containers you have!  some of mine are spice jars, but you could also use milk bottles, yogurt cups and of course, traditional vases if you have them!

i also added some little mushroom figurines for a whimsical, springtime touch!

and since my place settings are simple, i tucked mini bouquets near each plate for some extra color!

more options for the individual vases could include, s&p shakers with removable lids, juice glasses, silver baby cups, or empty perfume bottles…just get creative!
