THE GIFT OF BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS ON MOTHER’S DAY: A FLORIST'S GUIDE

Mother’s Day is an international event, but what actually prompted these celebrations? And why do we celebrate on different days ? The origins of Mother’s Day date back to the Ancient Romans and Greeks, who held festivals to celebrate goddesses. But these holy celebrations aren’t closely linked to the Mother’s Day we enjoy today. In Australia, Mother’s Day gained popularity in 1924 after WWI. This was due to Janet Heyden, a Sydney resident, holding celebrations for the aged mothers at the Newington State Hospital. Since 1924, this tradition has been continued and is now an official calendar day. On the other hand, the UK celebrates “Mothering Sunday”, a tradition that dates back to Middle Ages Christian traditions. The US Mother’s Day celebrations started in 1907 when resident Anna Jarvis held a private memorial service for her mother.

Don’t forget! Australian Mother’s Day is on Sunday the 14th of May.

SENDING A MESSAGE WITH YOUR MOTHERS DAY FLOWERS

Personalised presents are a popular option for Mothers Day, as these allow you to give a more meaningful gift. Did you know about the secret language of flowers? That’s right. Flowers have their own meanings and messages. Your Mother’s Day flower arrangement can look great, and tell your motherhow much you love her, too.See our top suggestions for messages below.

MOTHERHOOD

Celebrating motherhood is a key aspect of Mother’s Day, so align your Mothers Day flowers with this message.Carnations are a timeless pick when celebrating motherhood, as these blooms are beautiful and pink carnations specifically symbolise a mother’s love. White carnations symbolise unconditional love or pure love, which is also an appropriate selection. If you want an alternative, lilies are also a popular motherhood-themed bloom! Pro Tip: Carnations last more than other flowers. Your mum can enjoy this gift for longer than more short-lived bouquets!

Love and honour are other popular Mother’s Day flower arrangement themes, and these can be shown through a professional floristry arrangement.

For example, our Rosy Radiance bouquet combines pink, purple, and red shades for a sweet and loving finish. This is a bouquet that truly shows your love and affection for your mother!

Want something a little different? Our Queen of Hearts bouquet is another loving pick that combines white florals, bright pink petals, soft purple shades, and foliage for a stunning finish.
