Celebrate the women in your life this year with lunch on the patio. Outdoor entertaining can be easy – a simple menu, a refreshing cocktail and a clean, Spring-like table will set the mood for a festive day!
Set up your party out on the patio with a color palette of blue & white, with an accent of pink. White dishes look fresh when mixed with a patterned placemat and solid napkin. Mix together different shades of pink peonies, and tuck into a cobalt blue vase to use as your centerpiece. You could also put a single peony into a small vase and place onto each place setting as a favor.
Serve a healthy lunch of grilled tuna with provencal vegetables, with frozen lemonade with blackberry puree to drink. Throw a loaf of french bread on the grill to serve alongside the tuna. For dessert – wow them with individual raspberry and chocolate tarts!

My husband just finished building a beautiful outdoor kitchen for me on our back porch. I have been just waiting for something to celebrate out there. These Mother’s Day celebration ideas are so cute. I better get the party planning started though.
Hello I was wondering… can I use your pictures and write up in my May Snapshot issue? I will give you credit and add a link to your site.
I would love to place it by my photographer’s mommy and kids pictures.
Thank you!
