As Mother’s Day steadily approaches, you’re probably deliberating on options regarding what to get your mom. It’s easy to feel a significant level of pressure mounting as the days go by, but one thing holds true. You can never go wrong with a gift of a carefully chosen bouquet of flowers for your mom on this special day.

Whether she’s currently abroad or just a fraction of a mile away, here are a few tips you could use to celebrate your mom with a gift of lovely blooms this coming Mother's Day.

Expressing Love on Mother's Day with a Flower Gift

Expressing gratitude and love through flowers is a beautiful way to brighten someone's day and make them feel special. When you send flowers, they provide an immediate connection that lets the recipient know their presence is appreciated even if we're miles apart.

For example, vibrant colors such as reds or oranges create an upbeat vibe with passionate emotion during springtime, which helps bring you and the recipient closer together regardless of the distance. 

Also, lighter colors like whites and yellows with plenty of foliage serve to show affection in a more subtle yet elegant way. Despite your choice, you can always express love with a flower delivery on Mother's Day, as long as you use a reputable service that ensures your mom gets them on time.

The Best Flowers for Mother's Day That Also Last Long 

Selecting flowers for long-distance gifting can be a bit tricky, but there are several options to pick from with longer-lasting petals, foliage, and vibrant colors. For instance, you can consider more resilient types of flowers, such as roses, carnations, and lilies, thanks to their sturdy stems and bright petals.

Tulips are likewise ideal because they come in many colors, can withstand shipping, and beat the associated heat with very little damage.

For those who want an even longer-lasting gift, orchids excel at holding their color after being sent. They come in an array of stunning colors, last longer than other flowers, and can even come as a houseplant.

Choosing the Ideal Blooms for Your Long-Distance Mom This Year 

Besides just how long the blooms will last or survive the challenges of shipping, there are several other factors to consider when picking a gift of flowers to send to your distant mom. For instance, if she is a traditionalist, you can go with the classic rose bouquet.

For those who prefer to add something unique or contemporary, there are plenty of modern yet elegant arrangements, such as sunflowers, ‘anemonations’, and alstroemerias (Peruvian lilies). It's even possible to combine different floral types into one stunning design that will really leave your mom gaping in admiration and appreciation upon receiving the gift!

Ultimately, it's always a great idea to pick out flowers in her favorite colors or those that represent her style and personality.
