Mother's Day can often arrive in a bit of a flurry - far too often our moms are the ones planning events and special occasions, so when it comes time for the rest of us to take the reins, we can often find ourselves scrambling with last-minute details.

Often Mother's Day celebrations take the form of a brunch or an afternoon tea. If you've taken the time to plan a lovely meal but find yourself struggling with presentation last minute, here's a cute and quirky display idea your mom will love. Dig out that fancy tea set that is rarely used and use the pieces as vases to display flowers. The wide range of different heights for all the pieces will make a dramatic display that has much more personality than the standard florist issue vase and the perfect fit for an afternoon tea party.
