mother’s day guide
Welcome to Splendid's 2024 Mother's Day guide! Explore our top picks of Australian & international brands, hosting suggestions, and a carefully curated gift guide to ensure this day is truly unforgettable.
// The Table: Ecology
At Splendid, we believe the table plays a crucial role in hosting a gathering. It serves as the focal point where everyone comes together to enjoy themselves and have a great time. It also provides an opportunity for you to showcase your creativity and have fun with it.
When it comes to my tablescape, I opted for the Ecology range. This brand, which is uniquely Australian, offers simplistic and timeless pieces that draw inspiration from our surroundings. The result is a beautiful and elegant tablescape where all the pieces work together in perfect harmony.
Whenever I organise a gathering, my go-to choice is the Epicure glassware range by Ecology. The stunning designs effortlessly elevate the visual appeal of my table, creating a captivating setting with minimal effort required.
I decorated the table with a variety of flowers and ribbons to enhance the feminine charm for a soft and elegant Mother's Day brunch theme.
The following ecology pieces that are pictured have been used to create this tablescape:
Plates: Element dinner plates paired with Ottawa side plates
Napkins: Fray napkins in flax
Glassware: Epicure red wine glasses paired with Epicure champagne flutes
// A Table Full Of Sweet Treats: The Cupcake Queens
The Cupcakes Queens range is here to make your celebrations even more special with their delightful assortment of sweet treats. No celebration can be considered complete without cake, and their Vintage Heart Cake is a true masterpiece.
Alongside it, you'll find a tempting selection of cupcakes that are not only visually stunning but also incredibly delicious.
// An Assortment Of Beverages: winedirect.com.au
I found winedirect.com.au to be the perfect solution for hosting, as they offer a curated mixed box of wines and champagne that will surely please all your guests. It can be challenging to cater to everyone's preferences on your own, especially if you're not a wine expert or a big drinker.
It also makes for a great gifting option; you can have sent straight to mum’s door!

// My Favourite Non-Alcoholic Option: NON
Ideal for expecting mother’s or anyone who chooses not to consume alcohol.
NON, a Melbourne brand offering a delightful selection of non-alcoholic wine alternatives that rival wine, my favourite being ‘Non 1 Salted Rasberry & Camomile’
Their tasting sets are perfect for gifting, with all NON products coming aesthetically packaged with some of the coolest branding out there.
