The Perfect Flowers for the Moms in Your Life This Mother's Day

It is time once again to celebrate the mothers in our lives. But this year, Sunday, May 14 marks more than just a day to remember our moms. Mother’s Day has become an opportunity to celebrate all of the powerful women in your life by recognizing their maternal bonds and influences on others. 

You may have already selected your perfect gift for your mom, wife, or daughter, but what if that gift came with a beautiful bouquet of flowers personally arranged just for them? Flowers have a way of brightening the day and providing opportunities to smile.

When choosing the right bouquet, think about what best represents those special women in your life.

• Tulip. This popular spring flower comes in many shapes, sizes, and colors, making them a universal flower for any mother or woman you want to honor in your life. Perhaps this is the Mother's Day to extend an apology or even just to cheer up any mom.

• Orchid. While orchids are finicky flowers, they are a sign of elegance, poise, and femininity. When cared for properly, an orchid continues to provide beauty. Think of the women in your life who are trendy and enjoy exotic styles.
  
  
• Carnation. Considered one of the original Mother’s Day flowers, these long-lasting stems can make a beautiful bouquet. Known as a symbol of love and good luck, these could also be a great gift for your daughter.

• Peony. With varying shades of white, pink, red, and occasionally purple, peonies offer honor and good fortune, particularly in marriages. These are the perfect gifts for a spouse this Mother’s Day.
  
  
• Rose. If your mom is more of the traditional type, she may enjoy a classic bouquet of roses. Consider using pink roses which symbolize appreciation, love, and gratitude.
  
  
• Sunflower. The brightest and happiest flower to brighten up the day for any mom, daughter, sister, spouse, or in-law. Symbolizing adoration, loyalty, and longevity, one can’t help but smile when these appear.
  
  
• Gerbera Daisy. When you add this oversized daisy to a Mother’s Day bouquet, you will not only add pops of color but a way to symbolize cheerfulness and innocence. Consider these for your daughter to keep her youthful spirit alive.
  
  
• Alstroemeria. Perhaps you want to honor the motherhood of the best friend in your life. Alstroemeria are known for not only adding depth to floral arrangements but are a symbol of devotion and friendship.

Mother’s themselves exemplify resilience, confidence, and love. Without the mothers in our lives, none of us would be here, literally. This Mother’s Day, let your mother and all the women in your life know how appreciated, loved, and respected they are for all the ways they have touched your life. Adding flowers to your gift this year is like sending a hug that will not only warm her heart but serve as a symbol for the ways she has impacted your life.
