So, a little bit late, but as promised, here are some snaps from Mother’s Day. Instead of facing long line-ups and huge crowds, I decided to host brunch at my place and take it easy with the menu. Nothing too elaborated, just some quiches, pastries, fruits, and a salad. I had a lovely afternoon and received beautiful mini orchids from Matthew’s Godmother, fresh tulips from my friend Sara’s own garden, and my friend Daan (Sarah’s husband) even put together two chairs for me, so it was quite a great day if I may say so myself. Can it get better than good company, good food, and fresh flowers? 😉
In terms of decor, I really didn’t plan anything in advance, but tons of leaves from the peonies I bought the day before made it to the table quite nicely (right?). I also placed 3 little vases with one peony each as centerpieces, and wrapped a single flower for my guests. So, lesson of the day: there’s a lot you can do with a big bunch of peonies (leaves included) and some improvisation 😉
So, with this flower heavy post I wish you a great weekend, and to my Canadian friends, hope you have a fantastic long one 🙂
