Mother’s Day is May 12th.
For all of the wonderful things Mom has done for you over the years, she deserves some recognition on her special day. Perhaps you were out of town or working too much last year and let Mother’s Day pass you by? Sending a gift to mom has never been easier! Simply give your local florist a call and have a spectacular bouquet delivered today, straight to her door — at work or at home!
We understand you want to give mom the very best on her special day.
Tips to make sure you get the most out of your Mother’s Day flower order:
- Shop local for Mothers Day
Contacting your local florist ensures you get the total value for the price you pay. - Order early(ish)
This will ensure the florist uses the most beautiful flowers and delivers the order on time. - Choose the right flowers for YOUR Mom
You can usually tell your florist a little bit about your mom, and they can create something uniquely special just for her. - Send a special message
Don’t leave the card blank! Send a personal message to mom with the help of our Mother’s Day Card Messages. - Double check all sending info
Make sure you have provided your florist with mom’s accurate name, address and phone number.

Corsage Inspiration: Blue
It’s PROM SEASON! Time to get with your local florist to create a fab, one-of-a-kind corsage creation.
Today’s prom corsages are nothing like they used to be — that’s for sure. These days florists capture the spirit of youth with playful, exciting and dramatic wrists corsages that match modern fun and funky prom dresses and other trendy accessories. Today we’re using BLUE as our muse as we take a look at last year’s hottest designs.
The spring is a very busy time for florists, with wedding season just beginning and Mother’s Day right around the corner. If you haven’t ordered your corsage for PROM yet, what are you waiting for?!
