Mother’s Day is just around the corner, and if you’re looking for the perfect way to show Mum how much she means to you, flowers are always a winner. But with so many gorgeous blooms out there, how do you choose the right ones? Don’t worry—we’ve got you covered! Here’s everything you need to know to pick the perfect bouquet for Mum.


 

The Meaning Behind the Blooms

Flowers aren’t just pretty; they each have their own special meaning. Here are some of the most popular Mother’s Day flowers and what they represent:

Lillies, orchid, roses and tulips

 


 

Roses – Classic and timeless, roses symbolise love and appreciation. Soft pink roses are especially perfect for Mother’s Day, representing gratitude and joy.

Lilies – Elegant and fragrant, lilies symbolise devotion and kindness. If your mum loves something a little more sophisticated, these are a great pick.

 

Tulips – Cheerful and bright, tulips stand for love and happiness. They’re perfect for bringing a smile to Mum’s face.

Orchids – Exotic and long-lasting, orchids represent strength, beauty, and elegance—just like Mum!


Choosing the Right Colours

Just like different flowers have different meanings, so do colours! Here’s a quick guide to help you pick the perfect palette:

Pink – Love, gratitude, and admiration (a classic Mother’s Day choice!)

White – Purity, respect, and thoughtfulness

Yellow – Joy, warmth, and friendship

Purple – Elegance, admiration, and grace

Red – Deep love and respect (but often associated with romance, so use sparingly!)
