How to upgrade your Mother’s Day offering

From afternoon tea to prosecco cocktails

Pimp your prosecco

A glass of fizz always adds to the occasion. Even better, when there’s a little twist. Take it up a notch to a Bellini with peach purée or a breakfast Mimosa with orange juice and fresh fruit. Serve in coupes or crystal glassware, with eye-catching edible flowers.

Blooming lovely

Shoppers in the UK spent a huge £1.6bn on last year’s Mother’s Day, with flowers a meaningful but affordable first choice. They’re a thoughtful gift that makes the recipient feel loved. So why not add a bouquet to your bookings? An eclectic mix of more affordable wildflowers (perhaps handpicked from your venue) looks organic and authentic.

High tea

Afternoon tea is a firm family favourite. Elevate the celebration with luxurious flavours like egg with truffle mayo or lemony dressed crab. Offering a wide range of loose-leaf teas, unlimited sandwiches or desserts from a trolley will make it feel like an afternoon at The Ritz.

Musical mood

Set the tone with beautiful backing music. You could painstakingly craft a Mother’s Day playlist, hire a pianist or go all out with a live band. Whatever you choose, make sure it’s the right volume to create a cosy atmosphere, without disturbing chatter.

Boujee brunch

Brunch is the perfect way to thank mums. To replicate breakfast in bed, you could even invite families to come in their pyjamas and hand out cosy blankets. Despite the ‘homemade feel’, don’t go for basic dishes. Choose flavourful and standout menu choices like our Spicy Shakshuka.
