Fresh flowers with a sentimental touch
No matter how busy your life is, one thing is for sure – you should always take the time to celebrate occasions like Mother’s Day. We never know how much time we will have with our loved ones and there is no way of gaining back any lost moments and opportunities to let them know how much we care. One of the best ways in which you can tell mum how much she means to you is by sending a bouquet of fresh flowers. Here are some tips to ensure that your floral gift is even more special.
Mum’s favourites
The carnation is traditionally associated with Mother’s Day. For the most part, pink ones are at least included in the bouquet to represent this occasion. Of course, these are not the only fresh flowers that you could send on this special day. In fact, if you want to send something a little different, you could shop around for a bouquet that includes mum’s favourite blooms. If you are not sure which flowers she loves the most, you could also opt for a bouquet in her favourite colour or at least a colour that will suit her décor. By taking the time to pay attention to the types of flowers and the colour scheme of the bouquet, you are showing mum that you didn’t just pick the first bunch that you saw. You really did shop with her in mind.
Something extra
Florists today do not just stock fresh flowers. They have far more to offer in the line of gifts. One option is to include something extra like luxury chocolates, a balloon or even a bottle of wine with your order. There are also some amazing bundle gifts available that include a bouquet with extras such as a ballon, chocolates and perhaps a scented candle. These are great all-in-one gifts and they will help you save both time and money.
Floral crafts
If you want to send a different kind of floral gift, you will need to do some preparation in time. Fresh flowers need time to dry out or for them to be properly pressed. So, if you want to make floral soap, for example, you might prefer using silk blooms instead.
Allergy-friendly
If mum has allergies and you are concerned that a bouquet of fresh flowers will have her sneezing more than smiling, not to worry because there are some great options. Flowers with heavy pollen are a safe bet. The pollen will fall rather than be carried in the air so you don’t have to worry about her breathing it in. if you want to play it extra safe, you could also take a look around at silk arrangements. With a batch of potpourri placed next to the bouquet, she can enjoy the beauty of these flowers along with a sweet scent.
Lasting gifts
Fresh flowers will last for a couple of weeks or so. If you want to give mum something that she can enjoy for a lot longer, you could shop for a potted plant instead. There are many amazing varieties at your favourite florist and most of these plants are easy to care for. Mum will be able to watch her plant bloom year after year!
As you can see, there are many amazing options when it comes to fresh flowers that will show her you care. Don’t forget, when you place your order, your florist will also provide you with a message card so you can write a sincere and loving message just for her.
