What Colour Should Mother's Day Flowers Be?

Mother’s Day is a special time to show love and say thank you to mums. One of the best ways to do this is with a beautiful bunch of flowers. But with so many colours to choose from, you might be wondering — what colour should Mother’s Day flowers be?

Let’s take a look at what different colours mean and which ones are best for Mum.

Pink Flowers – Love and Grace

Pink is the most popular colour for Mother’s Day. It stands for love, kindness, and grace — all the things that mums show every day. Pink roses, lilies, and carnations are great choices. They are soft, sweet, and full of love.

Red Flowers – Deep Love and Respect

Red flowers, like roses or gerberas, show deep love and respect. If you want to show just how much Mum means to you, red is a strong and bold colour to choose. It’s perfect for a heartfelt message.

White Flowers – Pure and Gentle

White flowers stand for purity, peace, and honesty. They are calm and gentle, just like a mother’s care. White lilies, orchids or daisies are lovely and simple. They can also be mixed with other colours for a nice touch.

Purple Flowers – Admiration and Elegance

Purple is a royal colour. It shows admiration and beauty. Purple tulips, lisianthus, or lavender are great if you want something a bit different, but still lovely and thoughtful.

Yellow Flowers – Joy and Warmth

Yellow is the colour of sunshine and happiness. Yellow roses or sunflowers are bright and cheerful. They are great if you want to make Mum smile and bring joy to her day.

Mix It Up!

Can’t decide on one colour? No problem! A mixed bouquet is a great choice. You can add Mum’s favourite colours or mix pink, white, and yellow for a lovely and happy bunch. Adding a sweet message or a small gift makes it even more special.

No matter which colour you choose, flowers are always a kind and thoughtful gift. Pick colours that match your mum’s personality or style. Whether she loves bright colours or soft tones, she will feel the love in every petal.
