Is it a coincidence that Mother’s Day falls during the peak of blooming gardens? We think not. To celebrate the leading ladies in our lives, three local florists put together meaningful arrangements that are sure to delight them on their special day

FRESH & FUN

Inspired by Palm Beach in spring, this vibrant bouquet features roses, tulips, hydrangeas, and snapdragons in saturated hues. Palm accents along with cut grapefruits and lemons add to its punchy appeal, while the rattan cane-wrapped vase and destination coffee table book make lovely gifts alongside the arrangement. Yellow tulips symbolize happiness, cheerfulness, and hope. Purple hydrangeas represent a deep desire to understand one another.

Natural Beauty

With a muted palette of 1970s-inspired mauves and vibrant greenery, this bouquet is naturally on trend. The amber midcentury vase, a thoughtful and useful gift in itself, is filled with garden roses, carnations, pincushion proteas, dusty miller, and a strand of immature dates among other textured blooms and pieces of foliage. Carnations represent a mother’s eternal love. Pink roses symbolize gratitude and grace. Rosemary signifies remembrance.

Timeless & True

This bouquet embodies a French country garden filled with peonies, garden roses, hydrangeas, lisianthus, and accents of dusty miller and greenery. The classic blooms are arranged in a blue-and-white vase, an ideal display piece for any collector drawn to the color combination.
White roses symbolize loyalty. Peonies in Asian culture, representative of honor and good fortune.
