I need help with Mothers day flowers?
June 6th, 2009I want to order my mum a really nice bouquet of flowers for mothers day. I've looked at a couple of well known flower delivery sevices but they all have really traditional pink flowers and my mum hates pink, and isn't keen on traditional.
Any advice on what flowers work well together and are modern in case i have to make my own bouquet?
If anyone knows where i can find some flowers that are a bit different from the norm online i would greatly appreciate it!

One year I got my mother a rose bush for Mother's Day- Blaze, which is a very vibrant red.
As for what flowers work well together- well, that depends on your tastes and what kind of look you're trying for. A few times I've made bouquets from wisteria and a few others that grew wild where I lived.
Good luck!

I would suggest a flower that comes in a variety of colors, mabye carnations, they are really nice and blend esspecially well with baby's breath. If you can, you might want to check out a love lies bleeding- the look like they have hearts come out of them.

Hydrangeas are SUPER awesome, pretty, and are my favorite. They come in a variety of colors….blues, whites, purples, etc.

Most high street florists do Interflora, or similar delivery service. Go into one, preferably your local one, and talk to them about it. They'll advise you on colour choice and what's available. This way, your mum gets what YOU want her to have, not what SOMEONE ELSE thinks she wants to have.
I know you want to do it online, but I think you'll be better off talking to somebody…that personal touch can make all the difference. Your mum is unique, her bouquet should be too
hope this helps xx
