Mother’s Day this year falls on 19 March, which is fast approaching. And while if you’re lucky enough to live in close proximity to your mother, you will likely wish to formulate a lovely in-person celebration, a bouquet of flowers is an ideal gift if you are further flung or even as a precursor to taking your Mum out for a good time. (If you live with your mother, may we suggest the tradition of a long lie-in, breakfast in bed, and a bunch of flowers has stood the test of time for a good reason?)

The options for flowers you can order online are wide and a little overwhelming - but don’t fear, we’re here to advise the best of the bunch (ahem). From inexpensive options, to flashy, maximalist delights, demure and tradition to ecofriendly, these are the bouquets that truly stand out from reputable UK brands - including next-day delivery options.

The official flower of Mother’s Day

We think there’s a perfect bouquet for every mother, depending on their tastes, but if you love to cleave to tradition, then carnations have long been associated with Mother’s Day. There is a story - yes, apocraphyl, but still pretty - of pink carnations sprouting from the Virgin Mary’s tears over the death of Jesus. While that’s a curious reason to select a specific bloom, carnations are gorgeous and make a lovely choice.

Prefer some luscious roses, or the elegance of orchids? The cheerful spray of baby’s breath, or something more herbaceous? Read on - we have it covered.

Bloom and Wild are our go-to for floral deliviries, for a simple reason - their flowers are gorgeous. They’re fancier than a supermarket bouquet, which is ideal for making a mother feel pampered, and they arrive in bud, which means if you give them a mere second’s care they’ll last for up to four weeks (I have never encountered a supermarket bouquet that lasts more than two or three days).

Mother’s Day always falls three weeks before Easter in the UK, meaning it hints at spring - and this bold, declarative bunch will bring it into her house early. With 29 stems including cheering sunflowers and colourful roses, The Sunniva is ideal if you’re after a show-stopping bouquet to transform her living room into a floral haven.

Good ol’ M&S hit the mark again if you want to offer something sustainable for your mother - this is a potted rose, so there’s no moment where your mum has to throw out desultory, wilted flowers down the line. Instead, she can tend this little bushel to full bloom.

Not for all mums - if she doesn’t have green thumbs, stick to something already flowering - but this is a great option if you want to gift her something that will last.

Lilies are an elegant, sophisiticated choice - they look spectacular. Better yet, they symbolise love, admiration, compassion and femininity - ideal for a beloved mum. These lilies come replete with that gorgeous scent, a bright, beautiful bouquet of raspberry blooms to cheer any room.

Pollen free - ideal for a mum with allergies, or if you have pets in the house, with next-day delivery if you order before 9pm.

Vase comes separately.
