Select The Right Mother's Day Flowers

Choosing the right mother's day flowers is as personal as giving jewelry or selecting a birthday gift for a loved one. Every woman likes something slightly different. Some moms prefer bold colors while others may like pastel shades.

Many women prefer roses and a mom may be no exception. For the special day a bouquet with a few roses and some mixed flowers is often appropriate. Adding some baby's breath and greenery will make the arrangement complete.

Tulips are usually in season around the special day. If your mother likes deep colors an arrangement of passion purple tulips mixed with some lavender daisies might make the perfect choice. If pastels are preferred some pale yellow and white flowers with spring flower mixes can provide an arrays of color in lighter shades.

Mother's day flowers do not need to consist of a dozen roses or traditional combinations. Many florists today will offer choices with unique baskets in special shapes. Some mothers are very practical. They may greatly appreciate arrangements in attractive baskets that can later be used for other purposes, like storing spices, cosmetics, or other household items. Some moms may prefer to use baskets for decorative purposes.

Moms who like bold colors may prefer red flowers of various types. Combining a few roses with tulips and some white daisies and baby's breathe makes an excellent choice for those who like bold arrangements.

If mom has a sunny disposition and likes to think about Spring and Summer bouquets of yellow, white, and orange may be perfect. Irises, lilies, and daisies are often available in the bright, sunny colors. Adding one or two yellow roses will give the arrangement a special touch for mother's day flowers that represent sunshine.

While the combinations of flowers is endless florists today will also carry a broad range of containers to hold them. Some moms may prefer traditional vases. Woven baskets are another suitable choice.

Some mothers may prefer larger clay pots so they can be used at a later time for planting or for other growing projects. Mother's day flowers can come in vases that resemble water pitchers, for a more casual country look. Square glass containers are more trendy and can be used again for a wide range of functions long after the bouquet is gone.

When choosing the type of flowers to give your mom on the special day keep in mind that different flowers may have different meanings. Carnations and roses may symbolize love, devotion, grace, or admiration, if purchased in pink or red shades. White flowers are usually chosen in remembrance of a mother who has passed. However, white daisies are also used to liven up or brighten a bouquet and provide a contrasting backdrop for darker shades or brighter colors.

There is no specific flower or arrangement that is suitable for all mother's day flowers. Every mom is unique in what she likes and selecting something that suits each mom's taste is the best way to approach the task. Suitable arrangements will range in price from HK$300 to HK$1000, depending on the budget and the type of flowers selected.
