Mother’s Day Decorations

Setting The Perfect Mother’s Day Afternoon Tea Table

Now that the you have set up the room, let’s focus on the table itself. The food and tea is of course paramount, but how it looks on the table, and the place settings are super important, when it comes to making a lasting impression. Here are a few afternoon tea decorations ideas, of what you could use to create the perfect Mother’s Day tea table:

1. Fresh Flowers

Do you know what your mum’s favourite flowers are? If you do then you definitely get a gold star! Pop out and buy a few bunches of her favourite blooms and create a lovely display in glass vases, for something a little elegant, or cute, vintage looking jugs, for something a bit more casual. You could even create a mini floral arrangement for each place setting, to go that extra step.

2. Placemats

A proper table setting isn’t complete without placemats for your guests. You can choose a pretty design from the shops, or you could design your own personalised placemats for each of your guests. If creating one per guest is a little much for you, why not make one design, with your mum as the focus. Think a gorgeous photo of her, which everyone loves, and add the worlds “Happy Mother’s Day to our Wonderful Mum.”

3. Coasters

For extra style, coasters make a great contribution to a classic afternoon tea at home. If opting for a ready made design for your place mats, then consider getting the matching coasters to complete the look. Or, if you have gone down the personalised route, the personalised coasters are a fun way to keep your table neat and tidy! Again, you can use the same photo that you used for your place mats, or, you can go for a completely new design.
