May 3 6 Floral Gift Ideas For Mother's Day

Mother’s Day is one of the busiest days in the floral industry - and rightly so. Flowers are a wonderful way to show your love and appreciation. In this post, I’m going to share with you 6 floral gift ideas for Mother’s Day.

1 - A Meaningful Bouquet:

A big bunch of flowers will always be warmly received, but this Mother’s Day why not add another layer to your floral gift with a ‘meaningful’ bouquet.

Every flower has a meaning attached to it. Once you know what those meanings are, you can choose the perfect flower for every occasion.

For Mother’s Day, try picking flowers with meanings that fit your mum’s characteristics or pick flowers with meanings that convey the message you want to send to her.

Here are some suggestions:

Tulip - perfect love

Peony - happy life

Lisianthus - appreciation/gratitude

Lily - beauty

Lavender - devotion

Gladiolus - strength of character

Gerbera - cheerfulness

Freesia - friendship

Carnation (pink) - gratitude/mother’s love

Baby’s breath - everlasting love

Alstroemeria - friendship/devotion

You can also combine meaningful flowers, with your mum’s favourite flower, or with flowers in her favourite colour.

2 - Your Mum + You + Flowers:

Every month has one or two flowers associated with it - their birth month flower. Create a bouquet with a combination of your mum’s birth month flower and yours. (If you’d like to know any of the birth month flowers, comment below and I’ll let you know.)

3 - Flower Shop Visit:

Instead of delivering flowers to your mum, why not visit a florist together and let her pick out the flowers.

4 - Flower Arranging Workshop:

Many florists now offer flower arranging workshops. Treat your mum to one and at the same time, you’ll be supporting a local business.

5 - Subscription service:

There are now companies who deliver boxes of locally grown flowers directly to your door. This would be a great treat for your mum. She’d have the convenience of the flowers being delivered directly to her, but still have the fun of getting to arrange them herself. You can learn more about subscription services in my post ‘Flower Delivery - The Easy Way’.

6 - Vase + Gift Certificate:

Choose a beautiful vase for your mum and give it to her with a certificate saying you’ll fill the vase with flowers every month for a year.

Fresh flowers are an instant mood booster and create memories that last a lifetime. If you’d like to add another ‘layer’ to your floral gift you could consider the following:
