Mother’s Day is just around the corner, and if you’re anything like most of us, your mom is one of the hardest people to find gifts for. Not only does she just go out and get things when she needs them, but you also know that a Mother’s Day gift can’t be any old thing. It should be meaningful and insightful enough to convey how much she means to you, and how much you appreciate everything she’s done for you. That’s a lot of pressure to put on a gift! Flowers may feel like an unoriginal ‘standby’ gift, but a beautiful floral arrangement is a traditional gift for a reason. The trick is to make sure you’re choosing a flower arrangement that conveys the right message.

Roses

Roses are a common flower choice for so many occasions. They’re a truly classic choice. However, you should choose wisely when picking out flower arrangement with roses, because the color of the rose can say a lot of different things. For example, a red rose is a great option to give to the mother of your child, because it sends a message of romantic love — that’s why they’re so popular at Valentine’s Day. If you want to give roses to your mother, yellow, white, pink, and peach are all better options. These are colors that represent joy, grace, enthusiasm, and gratefulness.

Lilies

When most of us think of lilies, we think of the six-petaled white and pink variety that are most often seen in Easter flower arrangements. Instead, branch out and give your mom a spray or calla lilies for classic elegance, or choose a flower arrangement with bright yellow lilies for a mom who is joyful and bright.

Tulips

Is your mom more on the whimsical side? Tulips are a great way to match that fun side of her personality in flower form. They come in a range of bright colors that say bright, happy, and fun — the things you love best about your mom. Choose a bouquet in your mom’s favorite color, or opt for a blended flower arrangement for extra exuberance.

Hydrangea

The lush blooms of a hydrangea are a great way to say abundance — as in, you love your mom abundantly. They are available in a variety of softer shades like pink, lavender, and pale blue so hydrangeas are a lovely addition to floral arrangements with a more vintage style. Hydrangeas are a good classic choice in the same way roses are.

Orchids

Do you want a gift that keeps on giving? Orchids are a tropical flower that adds an exotic touch whether given alone or as part of a flower arrangement. But, if you want a gift that keeps on giving, give your mom a planted orchid rather than a cut spray. With just a little bit of care and attention, she can enjoy beautiful blooms throughout the year.
