Beautiful Mothers Day Flowers For Mums of All Ages
The last Sunday in Lent is the customary day of Mother’s Day, a special holiday each year dedicated to showing thanks to our mothers. Traditionally this would mean going home to spend the day with your parents, especially now that families are spread out and so far apart.
So surprise your mum this Mother’s Day and arrive back home with a bouquet of flowers!
Instead of just heading to the local shops and buying whatever cheap bouquet they have available, take the time to choose the perfect flowers for your mum.
By taking the time and effort to find something you know she will truly love you can turn the sometimes boring gift of flowers in to the perfect Mother’s Day gift!
If you are after something different for your mother this year then try to stay away from more conventional flower types, such as roses and tulips. While these make gorgeous flower arrangements unless you buy more expensive varieties they can be quite samey.
It is a good idea however to incorporate these expensive varieties in to a display of more unusual flowers. This allows you to add exquisite flowers in to a flower arrangement to really give it a touch of elegance.
If you know that your mother has a favourite type of flower, then try choosing a display that mixes in large amounts of it in to the bouquet. By making it the predominant flower in the bouquet you give it a much more personal touch, reminding your mum that you do remember what she likes!
If you are going to mix together a large variety of different flowers it is best to stick to just two or three colours. This prevents the arrangement from looking too busy and cluttered. The traditional Mother’s Day colours are pinks and whites, especially pale pinks. These ‘candy’ shades combine to create a peaceful and graceful looking display of flowers.
Lilies make for an eye drawing look, especially when combined with other flowers rather than alone. With their elegant pendulous flowers and bright flashy colours, lilies bring a distinct look to any bouquet.
To truly show off their unusual flowers it is best to combine lilies with more rounded flowers. Chrysanthemums, carnations and roses are great examples, all of which compliment lilies perfectly. For a truly beautiful display, mix all of these flowers in shades of bright and pale pinks with mixes of white from a handful of freesias.
You can really say a great deal with flowers, especially if you take the time to research the meanings behind them and their colours. By putting in so much consideration you really show your thoughtfulness and just how much your mother means to you.
The most important thing when choosing beautiful mothers day flowers is to buy varieties which she will love. The most expensive roses in the world are still a bad choice if she hates roses! By mixing her preferences with unusual flowers you can truly create the perfect mother’s day present.
