The Most Popular Mother’s Day Flowers (and Why They Matter)
Roses
Soft pink roses are a symbol of gratitude and admiration—perfect for Mother’s Day. They’re timeless, elegant, and always well received. White or cream roses offer a sense of purity and love, while peach tones bring warmth and calm.
Tulips
A springtime classic, tulips are cheerful and full of fresh energy. Each colour carries a different message—pink for affection, yellow for sunshine, and purple for admiration. Tulips are great for mums who love simplicity with a modern edge.
Lilies
Known for their elegance and fragrance, lilies symbolise motherhood, devotion, and rebirth. White or pink lilies feel soft and feminine, and they’re often paired with roses or greenery for a luxurious finish.
Chrysanthemums
In many cultures, chrysanthemums are the traditional “mum” flower. They represent loyalty, love, and lasting connection. They also last well in the vase, making them a practical yet meaningful choice.
Freesias
Delicately scented and graceful, freesias symbolise trust and friendship. They’re often used to add fragrance and texture to spring arrangements—and they’re ideal for mothers who enjoy softer, more romantic designs.
Mixed Seasonal Bouquets
When in doubt, go seasonal. A mixed bouquet using the freshest UK-grown blooms of the moment feels organic, joyful, and unique. We love combining tulips, roses, waxflower, ranunculus, and early peonies for a soft, natural feel.
Make It Personal
To make your bouquet truly meaningful, add a handwritten note or message. A few thoughtful words go a long way, especially when paired with flowers that reflect your mum’s personality.
You can also personalise your gift by:
- Choosing her favourite colours
- Adding a gift (e.g., chocolates, a candle, or a keepsake)
- Including a vase or opting for a letterbox bouquet if she’s not home
If you’re unsure what to write on your card, try something simple and heartfelt, like:
“To the most amazing mum—thank you for always being there. These flowers are just a small piece of the love I feel for you.”
