Morming, mamas! How did Mother’s Day get so close already? There’s never enough time, which is why we so appreciate all the simple DIY projects and major teamwork that went into this You Are My Sunshine themed Mother’s Day brunch coming to us from Nakia of A Handcrafted Affair, Lindsay of Southern Sky Design and Stacy Able Photography. It all added up to a cheerful party with mid-century modern details and natural textures that everyone could enjoy. Perfect for a mama-kiddo date with all your pals this Sunday and beyond!

Individual bouquets as favors, yes please. They used tissue paper to wrap the blooms and tied them with leather pieces.

Nakia made the text with mini strips of yellow fabric knotted around formed wire words while Lindsay added Italian Ruscus + Plumosa around the wall hanging to resemble vines around the sun.

Can’t go wrong with a menu of avocado toast, smoked salmon, veggie quiche, homemade waffles, and mini parfaits, right? Personal chef Sarah Showalter had a few tips, too: 1) go for quiche because it can be made ahead of time, 2) add garnishes and fresh herbs to make a dish your own, 3) kids can help make parfaits (use a plastic bag as a piping bag and scoop the yogurt in so you can squeeze it into the dishes)

Other easy DIYs? Tori of NoTORIous whipped up kiddie straws for the Shirley Temples along with beverage tags, and mimosa bar labels.

And the napkins? They’re of the kid-friendly DIY variety: thumbprints in a springy color palette.

Have you all been perusing our archives for Valentine’s Day ideas this year? This pretty pink gathering from MV Florals that Alison Bernier documented basically combines our two fave festivities: theme parties and BRUNCH! Yes, please…

The best part is a scene like the one Meagan of MV Florals put together for her friend and their girls is totally do able for all you at home too. They got the flatware  + dishes from Anthro and used placemats + wooden utensils from Wild Child Party.

Aren’t these fuzzy heart pillows so good as floor poufs? Target has ‘em.

Naturally Valentine’s Day activities were to be had…

Are you all prepped for a relaxing Mother’s Day weekend? Beijos Events just sent over these photos by Kayla Adams of the Mama/Kiddo playdate they styled up for all their blogger friends, and it looks like such fun. Gotta love a little time to catch up with friends over brunch, especially at a hidden gem like Barrels & Branches, which the team discovered through The Venue Report.

Cute theme alert.

MV Florals at it again with their vibrant arrangements…

They used the peachy coral as their main color, which would be most perfect for a baby shower, if you ask us.

A Hey There Cupcake signature! They whipped up all the yummy desserts for the event.

You all flipped for the pastel tropical baby shower Lenzo whipped up last year, so we were extra excited to see another event from this crew in our inboxes. This one’s a Mother’s Day brunch that not only would any mom be thrilled to walk into (surprise of the year, much?) but that can totally inspire a whole season of other sweet gatherings too. Onto the photos by Hails and Shine!

All about the details. Little Confetti Love came up with the cake topper and balloon tassels.

Loving the unexpected color palette for spring.

Tori Allen Events dreamt up that voluminous set of blooms.

A little outfit coordination for ya! Find all the fashion and decor credits at the end of the post (there are lots!).

Is there anything cuter than a bunny ear topped cake? Sweet and Saucy Shop always has adorable ideas up their sleeves (see this week’s dessert spread). To bring this sweet Easter brunch together, MV Florals styled the space and designed all the flowers and Alison Bernier was behind the lens.

Eeee, bunny macarons. Yes, yes!

Love the addition of the gold flatware here.

Recognize the appetizer plates? They’re Oh Joy for Target.

Hop on over to the gallery for more shots…

Amazing work guys!
