Mother’s Day is one of our favorite holidays—it’s a chance to celebrate the women who nurture, support, and inspire us. And in our humble opinion, is there a better way to express your love and gratitude than with flowers? Whether you're choosing for your own mom, a grandmother, a bonus mom, or a mother figure in your life, here’s everything you need to know about giving the perfect blooms.
The Best Flowers to Give for Mother's Day
Fresh flowers are always a classic, but not all fresh flowers are created equal. At Upper Village Blooms, we go above and beyond to ensure our flowers are truly fresh—hydrated, stored cold, and meticulously cared for from the moment they arrive to the moment they’re delivered.
Want to make it even more special (and stress-free for Mom)? Choose a bouquet that’s already arranged in a vase. A wrapped bouquet might look lovely at first, but it also gives your recipient a task: find a vase, trim the stems, arrange the flowers, clean up the mess. Let us take care of that part so she can simply enjoy the beauty.
Pre-Designed or Custom?
Our signature style is lush, layered, and a little bit wild—think garden-inspired bouquets full of variety. We love using seasonal blooms like roses, delphinium, ranunculus, tulips, hydrangea, and peonies, paired with unique accent flowers and fresh greenery.
Not sure what to choose? Trust us with the creative reins—we promise something gorgeous. But if you have a specific idea or favorite flower in mind, we’re happy to work with you to create a custom design too.
The Most Popular Colors for Mother’s Day
This time of year, we’re all about soft, joyful spring tones. The most requested palettes for Mother’s Day include pink, apricot, soft yellow, blue, lavender, and white—fresh and feminine shades that feel both timeless and seasonal.
What Do These Flowers Mean, Anyway?
If you love the idea of choosing blooms with meaning, here are a few of our favorite symbolic stems for Mother's Day:
Tulips – deep and perfect love
Peonies – wealth, honor, and happy life
Roses – admiration (pink), romantic love (red), friendship (yellow), purity (white)
Hydrangeas – heartfelt gratitude
Ranunculus – radiant charm
A meaningful mix of these flowers can say so much without a single word.
How Long Will They Last?
We’re proud of how long our arrangements hold up. From the moment we receive our flowers, they’re cared for with love: cleaned, trimmed, conditioned, and kept in fresh water until they’re in your hands. With the right care at home, your bouquet should stay beautiful for 7–10 days.
We’ve even put together a helpful flower care guide to keep them looking their best. And if something isn’t quite right—like if your flowers begin to wilt within the first three days—please reach out. We want to make it right.
