Mother's Brunch

Although Mother's Day was a couple of weeks ago, Around The Table Nashville hosted a brunch today to honor the mothers in our lives. It was a lovely spring day in Nashville, the perfect amount of sun and shine! The guests included our own mothers, women who are practically our mothers, and our spiritually mothers. We truly believe all we are, or ever hope to be, we owe to these wonderful women we call our mothers. The tablescape was not afraid to go bold with color! It was bright, sweet, and incorporated with hints of gold for a little punch.

Around The Table brunch menu was a blend of light, savory, sweet, and refreshing. A mimosa bar greeted our friends/mothers upon their arrival. The warm aroma of fresh coffee welcoming those needing a bit of caffeine this morning. A true southern touch to the beverage bar was iced peach tea, made from scratch. A fresh fruit display and salmon cucumber bites gave friends a healthier option. A Na-HASH-ville casserole, spinach quiche, and baked oatmeal served family style offered a tasty option. Friends enjoyed a treat with lemon and cranberry scones served along side raspberry bite-sized coffee cakes. 

The heart of the brunch could be found in the conversations and stories shared from mother to daughter, friend to friend, woman to woman. Table Topics are not only a way to get to know one another, but a key attribute to being Around The Table. A few tears were shed but many more laughs could be heard as these amazing mothers shared their lives with us. Below are few of our Table Topics from this morning:

Yes, these women are mothers, yes some of them are our mothers, but first and foremost they are women. Amazing, beautiful women who love life, their friends, and their families. Most of the relationships between these women are going on 20+ years, some even longer. To see them all gathered Around The Table was a complete and utter joy.
