The best part about planning an event based around your mother is that you are one of the people who knows her best. You know whether she likes things that are flashy & artistic, simple & modest, elegant & vintage, or if she's anything like my mom, she simply likes anything I put together just because I did it. You can plan the entire mood of the table around those key details that you know about her. A good place to start is by considering your mom's favorite colors and basing the color scheme off of that. Although it's impossible to create a table that's as beautiful as she is, you can definitely make a few impactful decisions to create a gorgeous table setting worth gathering around.
