Giving flowers to honor mothers and motherhood was a well established custom even before the first national Mother’s Day celebration. Every year as the days get warmer and spring flowers begin to bloom, we’re reminded that it’s time to think about how to celebrate Mom this Mother’s Day. Whether they’re the main event or a complement to the day’s festivities, flowers are welcomed joyfully, and with a little attention to detail, you can put a personal touch on Mother’s Day with a specially chosen bouquet!
The array of flower choices may seem daunting at a glance, and that’s why we’re here to break it down and offer a few suggestions to personalize your Mother’s Day flower delivery.
Color
Different hues convey a range of emotions. If you want to express a specific feeling on Mother’s Day it’s a good idea to consider the colors in your floral gift. For instance, pink is playful, innocent and light. Red, on the other hand, is more intense, warm and dynamic. Green evokes a peaceful, pure feeling while purple is inspiring and ethereal. Yellow is full of cheer and enthusiasm and orange is fun and spirited. White inspires thoughts or freshness, tradition and honesty. Of course, deep meanings aside, giving some consideration to your mom’s favorite shades is also incredibly helpful.
Flowers
If your mom has a favorite flower, then certainly consider including at least some of those in your Mother’s Day flower delivery. That said, she may be fond of a bloom that’s just not in season in May. Getting out of season flowers often costs a small fortune, so you’ll probably want to think out of the box. Some popular options are gerberas, roses, orchids, lilies, alstroemerias, and carnations. If mom doesn’t have a favorite, consider some unique flowers for Mother’s Day this year.
Display Location
Over the years you’ve probably noticed where your mom usually displays fresh flowers. Give some thought to the area of the house that the flowers will probably be displayed in. Consider the colors and style in that area of her home and plan your gift accordingly. While most flowers will look captivating in most rooms, planning your gift to complement the space is especially thoughtful.
Think about the surfaces available as well, to avoid inconvenient rearranging for space. If the flowers are likely to be placed on a dining table, for instance, make sure the bouquet you order will make a good centerpiece. If surface space is minimal, look for a container with a smaller footprint. If you’re considering a live plant, make sure there is space for it with the right amount of light.
Personal Style
Is your mom traditional or more modern? Is she all about pastels or does she love something bold? When you’re picking out your Mother’s Day flower delivery bouquet, think about your mom’s personal style and try to come up with something that reflects it. Another style tip—be sure your delivery includes a personal message from you.
Long-Lasting
No one likes to receive a bouquet that wilts after one day or, worse yet, already looks half dead when it arrives. There are a couple of things you can do to help ensure that your mom gets quality flowers that last. If you’re going to pick up the bundle yourself, look for bunches that have several unopened buds. Also, look for durable flowers that don’t require extra care. That way she’ll get to enjoy new blooms for a while to come. If you plan on ordering a Mother’s Day flower delivery then make sure you’re dealing with a reputable company that cuts flowers to order and ships quickly so that flowers arrive fresh.
A Few Fresh Ideas
So we’ve covered the basics – still need some inspiration? Here are some suggestions to guide you to a memorable bouquet this Mother’s Day.

Gourmet
Is Mom happiest in the kitchen or at the grill? Instead of flowers, consider potted herbs for a beautiful, sustainable gift that will spark their culinary creativity.
Green Mom
With environmental conservation more important than ever, a lot of moms are doing their part to reduce waste. A live plant delivered by a company with a full commitment to environmental sustainability is a great way to honor that maternal instinct.
Two Moms
Do you have two moms in your household? Sure, that’s double the planning, but double the celebration, too! You can save time and add a personal touch by ordering a pre-arranged pair of complementary potted live plants or orchids.
Home Entertainer
If your mom loves to host social gatherings for family and friends, they might really appreciate a longer lasting addition to their decor collection. A striking bouquet of dried flowers is a unique way to honor their generosity in sharing their home.

Always a Supermom

Floriography
If you really want to personalize your message, use the language of flowers! Floriography, the language of flowers, ascribes meaning to flowers according to their type and color.
