On the 30th of March, not only do we celebrate all the incredible women in our lives, we also embrace the beginning of British summer time! In light of this exciting day, I have created a guide of flowers that you should consider for your bouquet or arrangement. Every flower carries a unique meaning, so it is worth having a read!
🌿 Carnations ( Dianthus Caryophyllus )– The Classic Mother’s Day Flower
Carnations are the official Mother’s Day bloom, symbolising love, faith, and beauty. They are long-lasting and deeply meaningful.
- Pink Carnations – A mother’s unconditional love, appreciation, and gratitude.
- Red Carnations – They represent sincere love, admiration, and respect.
🌷 Tulips ( Tulips ) – The Elegant, in-season choice.
Tulips are in season during Mother’s Day, making them a fresh and bright option. Each colour carries a special message:
- Pink – Affection, well wishes, and appreciation.
- Red – Love and passion (perfect for wives!).
- Purple – Elegance and admiration (great for mother-in-law!).
- Yellow & Orange – Joy, happiness, and warmth.
🌿 Hydrangeas – A Symbol of Gratitude
Hydrangeas represent grace, appreciation, and heartfelt emotions, making them perfect for a caring and supportive mother.
- Blue – Deep gratitude and understanding.
- Pink – Love, sincerity, and heartfelt emotion.
- White – Purity and grace.
- Purple – Abundance and appreciation.
🌺 Lilies ( Lilium ) – Timeless Beauty
Lilies which are loved for their large, elegant blooms, are also associated with happiness and good fortune. Like Marmite, Lilies are either loved or hated by the receiver, so make sure that you know who you’re buying for! Two of my favourite colours:
- White Lilies – Purity and majesty.
- Pink Lilies – Love, admiration, and prosperity.
Lilies are toxic to cats, so, keep that in mind too..
🌹 Roses ( Rosa ) – A Classic with a Meaningful Twist
Instead of red (which symbolises romance, in which we have seen a lot of due to valentines), I recommend that you choose softer shades that represent appreciation and warmth, these colours also brighten up any space in line with the welcoming of this summer:
- Deep Pink – Gratitude and admiration.
- Light Pink – Joy, happiness, and appreciation.
- Peach – Sincere thanks and warmth.
