Budget Outdoor Finds for Mother's Day Brunch

Mother's Day is less than a month away and now is the time to start planning if you are hosting! This year is a special one for our family—I get to spend it with my little sister who recently moved to the area and just became a mama. We are also fortunate enough to have Lucas' parents nearby and it has been wonderful to start putting down roots here with our little family circle.

This year, I am hosting a brunch to celebrate with my favorite outdoor entertaining finds fromBetter Homes & Gardensat Walmart.

Their outdoor selection is memorable this year and the prices are unbeatable, but unfortunately they sell out SO fast! Scroll to the bottom of this post to shop my top finds—fingers crossed you can snag something before it is gone!

I recently furnished our patio with their table, chairs and umbrella(currently sold out, boo!) and we have been putting them to good use, taking advantage of this well composed Spring weather.

Several of their outdoor dining/entertaining pieces also caught my eye—like this chic $13 battery operated lantern (still in stock, hurry!)

The floral serving set is striking, outdoor-safe and well suited for Spring—and only $10! This would also make a great Mother's Day gift.

I also thought this ribbed melamine cake stand was cute and would even look great displayed on open kitchen shelving.

I purchased this rose gold flatwarelast year and it works perfectly for Mother's Day or any special occasion.

These large glass beverage dispensers are great for outdoor gatherings and save on refill trips to the kitchen.

Drinks taste better in fancy cups! Love the shape and color of these outdoor-safe bubble glass goblets.

To round off my outdoor dining favorites—these melamine salad platesare only $2/ea, but they are thick and sturdy enough to pass as real ceramic dishes.

Plus, they are dishwasher safe!

Cherishing these photos and time spent with our growing families, especially after such a long and isolating year.

More goodies await over in the seating area…

I am a big fan of these indigo tufted floor cushionsfor extra seating around the backyard/patio. They are especially well suited for littles!

It also pairs nicely with this textured blue floral pillow.

And if you are digging the blue, look at this pretty patterned outdoor serveware…

The divided server plate can hold anything from fruits and veggies to chips, crackers and desserts. It is large and versatile, and the blue and white pattern reminds me of Portuguese tile.

The$11 platter and dip bowl setcan also be used in a variety of ways. The little cups come in handy for salsas and dips!

Did you catch the new planters?

If you've been following my Instagram stories, you might recall I gave these a DIY faux concrete makeover:

I started with two sets of these 'terracotta' resin planters and used two different techniques to make them look like stone/concrete.

I am working on a tutorial for both techniques and will share that on the blog next week! If the planters are out of stock, they are also available in a galvanized finish here. Such a good deal for planters this size!

Just a few more photos from our family brunch…

Happy first Mother's Day to all the first time mamas out there! ❤️
