Mother’s Day 2025 - Essential Information
Mother’s Day Date: Sunday, March 30th, 2025
Mother’s Day is the busiest day of the year for UK flower deliveries. Millions of bouquets are ordered, and services experience unprecedented demand. Due to exceptional demand, we strongly recommend ordering at least one week in advance (by March 23rd) to guarantee delivery and secure the best flower selection.
Why Mother’s Day Flowers Are Special
Mother’s Day flowers are perhaps the most meaningful bouquets you’ll send all year - a tangible expression of gratitude, love, and appreciation for everything your mum has done. They celebrate maternal love in all its forms: biological mothers, stepmothers, grandmothers, mothers-in-law, and mother figures.
Peak Season Challenges
Mother’s Day represents approximately 30% of annual UK flower sales compressed into one week. Popular bouquets sell out early, delivery slots fill fast, and prices increase 10-30%. Navigate successfully by ordering 2-3 weeks early (March 2-16 ideal), choosing services with proven Mother’s Day track records, and selecting guaranteed named-day delivery.
Best Flowers for Mother’s Day
Pink Roses - Classic Mother’s Day choice symbolizing gratitude, appreciation, and admiration. Light pink conveys grace and joy; deep pink shows gratitude.
Spring Mixed Bouquets - Cheerful combinations of tulips, daffodils, iris, hyacinths, and freesias in vibrant colors celebrate the season.
Tulips - Last well (7-10 days) and brighten any room. Pink for affection, yellow for cheerful love, mixed for colorful celebration.
Carnations - Traditional Mother’s Day flowers lasting exceptionally long (2-3 weeks). Pink symbolizes a mother’s love; white represents pure love.
British Seasonal Blooms - Support local growers with narcissus, British-grown tulips, ranunculus, and anemones available in late March.
