How could we miss out on carnations? It has a long history of symbolising motherly love, so make sure you have a spray of carnations in your bouquet.

Pink carnations are associated with motherly love, while red carnations are for gratitude and yellow carnations represent joy and friendship.

 

5. Hydrangeas

Fluffy, full blooms are characteristic of these bold flowers. Hydrangeas come in bright colours like pink, blue, purple and green – sure to liven up your Mum’s bouquet and put a smile on her face.

Pink hydrangeas represent gratitude, with blue for peace and understanding, and green for new beginnings. It all depends on what you’d like to gift your Mum with.

 

Of course, these are just the flowers that can make up the focal point of your bouquet. You’ll still need smaller flowers and green fillers to complete the look.

Still can’t figure out which bouquet or what flowers to get your mother?
