With life and work, it’s not always easy to see our mother’s on Mother’s Day. Getting flowers delivered to her on this day is a thoughtful way to show her that you care, making her feel special. No matter how far apart you are, a big bunch of flowers will put a smile on her face. As it’s Mother’s Day, only the best will do, so don’t get stuck with what’s been left behind in the shops. Getting flowers delivered is the best way to ensure they’re fresh and bloomin’ lovely for your mum! You can choose from a wider selection too, meaning you’re more likely to get her something she’ll love. Why not surprise her with a box of chocolates too, or a bottle of her favourite wine. The little extra treat will be a nice surprise, showing her that she’s a cut above the rest!
We all know to get red roses for Valentine’s Day, but what are the best flowers to buy for your mother on Mother’s Day? There is such a huge selection of bouquets available that it can be pretty overwhelming. Here are some of our favourites that will definitely brighten her day:
Carnations
During the first Mother’s Day celebrations, white carnations were the flower of choice to show mothers that they were loved and appreciated. Traditionally symbolising a mother’s eternal love, carnations come in a variety of bright and wonderful colours, perfect for the Springtime. The botanical name for carnations comes from the Greek word for ‘heavenly flower - making these the perfect choice for our mothers who are angels in disguise.
Tulips
Mother’s Day falls in the Spring, and tulips are one of the first flowers to bloom after the frosts of winter. Symbolising new life and the gift of being a mother, tulips are perfect for Mother’s Day, especially for new mums. They can be found in a wide range of beautiful colours, with many varieties featuring elegant two-toned petals.
Lilies
Traditionally, lilies are associated with motherhood and purity. Not only do their large, unfurling petals look impressive in the bouquet, but they smell beautiful too. Their bright colours are a dramatic addition to any bouquet, and their symbolism of a mother’s love makes them the perfect choice for a special gift.
Orchids
These unique flowers symbolise love, beauty, and strength - key characteristics of the traditional depiction of motherhood. In ancient Greece, it was believed that if the mother ate small orchid tubers, she would give birth to a girl. If the father ate large, new orchid tubers, the baby would be a boy. The orchid's rich history rooted in fertility, grace, and joy, makes them an ideal choice for Mother's Day bouquets.
Gerbera Daisies
Bright, colourful, and splendid to look at, these stunning flowers have a long history as a "happiness" flower, and no doubt that your mother felt happiness on the day you were born! Add these to your carefully curated blooms for a bright pop of colour and instant happiness boost.
