Mother’s Day is coming up soon, and flowers are one of the best gifts to give your mom if she’s a fan of flowers. Adding a bouquet as an accent to your gift also makes for a beautiful and colourful presentation. There are several flowers that have special significance when it comes to the bond between mother and child, so you can make your Mother’s Day bouquet even more significant when you include blooms that can show your mom just how much you love her.
Fragrant flowers, such as apple blossoms, are ideal to add to your Mother’s Day bouquet because the flowers are a sign of good fortune and hope. Giving these flowers to your Mom shows you hope great things for her in the future and hope you can continue to celebrate many more Mother’s Days with her in the future. You can also include azaleas in the bouquet since these flowers literally mean “take care of yourself.” The blooms are a clear reminder you want your Mom to put herself first sometimes and to take the same effort to care for herself that she gives to you and/or your siblings.
Colourful and exotic flowers, such as birds of paradise, are a perfect addition to a Mother’s Day bouquet as well. These flowers represent joyfulness, so they’re a wonderful way to celebrate your mom’s joyful nature, or to let her know the joy you feel because of the love and care she’s given you. The bright colours of birds of paradise can also be beautifully paired with bluebells or campanulas, the flowers of gratitude. Mother’s Day is one of the best times to say thank you to your mom for her sacrifices, great advice, and important life lessons she’s given you. If your mom is a fan of blue flowers, you can also include blue periwinkle in the bouquet. These blooms symbolize friendship and will send the message to your mother you cherish the friendship the two of you have developed as you’ve grown older.
Carnations are traditionally given on Mother’s Day, particularly because the pink carnation is the symbol of a mother’s love. Of course, you can also add carnations of various colours to the bouquet to complete your floral gift. For instance, white carnations symbolize pure love, and red carnations signify admiration. Giving a bouquet filled with carnations says you have a deep love for your mother and admire her intelligence, beauty, strength, and outlook on life.
Classic flowers, such as roses, are always ideal for Mother’s Day as well. Pink roses symbolize the enduring love you have for your mother; white roses are a sign of your mom’s unconditional love for you, and yellow roses let your mom know you treasure her friendship. Tulips are also great for a Mother’s Day bouquet, and there are lots of colours to choose from, such as orange tulips, which indicate happiness and positive energy.
Remember you can also accent the bouquet with small flowers, such as baby’s breath. These flowers are a sign of consistency and a pure heart. Bouvardia is another pretty accent flower that will improve the look of the entire bouquet. The blooms are a sign of enthusiasm, which lets your mom know just how excited you are to share another Mother’s Day with her. Even if you’re giving the bouquet with other presents, the time and thoughtfulness you put into the flower arrangement will likely mean just as much to your mom as the other gifts you purchase. Be sure to get instructions on how to care for the flowers, so they’ll last as long as possible.
