With Mother’s Day on the horizon (Sunday 14th May 2023), now is the time to plan your special gift for the leading lady in the family. There’s a wealth of available options which can feel overwhelming. How can you choose the best Mother’s Day present to convey such a deep and meaningful message of love and gratitude? It’s a tall order.


To help navigate the world of flowers and Mother’s Day gifts, Christchurch’s experienced team at Court Florist share their insights to buying the perfect Mother’s Day flowers.


Consider her tastes

Before you get too gung ho and click ‘Buy Now’ for an online flower delivery, take time to reflect on the flowers your Mum likes. Over the years she will have expressed delight at flowers she’s has received: the flower arrangement style, the colour, the fragrance. Some women adore the striking simplicity of a bouquet of white lilies and the scent that fills the room, whereas others love the depth of reds and purple of a jewel tone bouquet.


If you are unsure about what her favourite flowers are, there are always other external factors to take inspiration from for a Mother’s Day flower bouquet. Think about the colours of her soft furnishing, the hues in her favourite painting, or her go-to colours for clothes. 



Think about her personality and style

Just as there are different types of flowers, women have a variety of personality types. How does your mother express herself? Is she bright and breezy, or serene and introspective? What are her likes and dislikes? Contemplate whether your mother would like:


·      A bouquet of natural inspiration including greenery of ferns and native flowers

·      Unconventional exotic flowers with bright colours and an arrangement with an interesting shape

·      Traditional flowers in muted tones and colours displayed in a posy

·      Fire and spice colours, a bright and vibrant flower display

·      Simple understated elegance


The floral possibilities are endless, but to make it easier to whittle the choices down, jot down a list of 5 things about your mum’s personality and style. Use the list to determine the best flowers to order for a Mother’s Day celebration. Buying flowers with intention and extra thought, makes a truly memorable gift; after all, exceptional women deserve exceptional flowers.
