How to Choose an Arrangement that will Delight Your Mother on Mother's Day

When you actually try to send a flower arrangement for Mother's Day, what kind of design should you choose? The impression of a Mother's Day flower arrangement can vary greatly depending on its color, flowers, and size. Choosing an arrangement while imagining your mother's personality, where it will be displayed, and her daily life will help convey your feelings more effectively.

Choose by Color

Popular choices for Mother's Day flower arrangements are pink and orange tones. Pink tones give a gentle and elegant impression, while orange tones create a bright and cheerful impression. Also, since Mother's Day falls in early summer, flower arrangements with abundant greenery that evoke a natural feel are also lovely. If you know your mother's favorite color, it's a good idea to present a flower arrangement in that color. The color she likes best is always the best!

If you know your mother's favorite color, choosing an arrangement to match it is also recommended. Choose colors that convey your feelings, such as "I want to give something elegant" or "I want to give something bright and cheerful." Imagine your mother's happy face as you choose a wonderful flower arrangement.

Choose by Popular Flowers

The classic flower for Mother's Day is, of course, the carnation. As a symbolic flower that is almost always included in Mother's Day limited flower arrangements, carnations easily evoke the spirit of Mother's Day and create a vibrant and warm impression when added to an arrangement. Many stylish varieties of carnations are available, so just looking at the carnations in an arrangement might make your heart flutter with their beauty.

In addition, combining roses, dahlias, hydrangeas, small flowers, and greenery creates a more seasonal design. It is good to choose according to your mother's preferences and the atmosphere of her room. Speaking of seasonal flowers, hydrangeas are also beautiful this time of year and seem to be gaining popularity recently!

Choose according to the display space

Flower arrangements change their impression when displayed depending on their size. It's a good idea to imagine where it will be displayed at home or your parents' house, and the time spent imagining where you'd like it to be displayed, such as at the entrance, on a table, or on a shelf, is also enjoyable.

If you want to choose something easy to display in a small space, a compact arrangement is suitable. If you want to give something truly grand and special, choose a voluminous size to make it feel extra special.

The appeal is that you can display it immediately upon arrival, even without a vase.

Since flower arrangements arrive with flowers already arranged in a container, they are an easy-to-display gift even without a vase. They can be enjoyed by simply placing them where they arrive, making them an appealing gift for busy mothers.

If you want to send a bouquet but are unsure if they have a vase, or if you want them to be able to display it with minimal effort, choosing a flower arrangement is a safe bet.

How to Display Your Mother's Day Arrangement to Enjoy It Longer

Flower arrangements can be enjoyed for about a week with proper care. Since temperatures can be high around Mother's Day, it's best to display them in a cool spot. By paying a little attention, your flower arrangement will last much longer. We will explain how to maintain your arrangement to prevent it from wilting in just a few days if not cared for.

Remove wrapping upon arrival

Once your flower arrangement arrives, first remove the wrapping. Whether you purchase a Mother's Day flower arrangement from an online flower shop or a local florist, arrangements come wrapped. It is not recommended to display them with the wrapping still on. If the wrapping is left on, the flowers will steam up inside the film, and the entire arrangement will quickly deteriorate.

It is recommended to display them in a cool place, away from direct sunlight or direct drafts from air conditioners.

Add water to the floral foam

Touch the floral foam where the flowers are inserted with your finger to check if it's moist, and if it's dry, add water until it's full but doesn't overflow. Be careful not to let the water spill over.

Flower petals may be damaged or rotting, so if you find any such parts, immediately pinch them off. If left unattended, the entire arrangement may deteriorate, so be careful. Even a little daily observation will help you enjoy the arrangement in a beautiful state for longer.

The container can be used as is.

Since flower arrangements use fresh flowers, they will eventually wilt. Some people worry about whether they should return the container once the flowers are gone, but you can also enjoy it by inserting new floral foam and arranging flowers yourself. Of course, you can also use it as an interior decoration as is. Many people also repurpose them as小物入れ (small item containers).

When presenting a Mother's Day flower arrangement, even a short message can help convey your feelings. At &YOUKAEN, we offer original message cards that can be attached to flower arrangements.
