Teleflora is one of my favorite companies to work with, they always send me such gorgeous flowers for my posts on the giving the right flowers for different holidays. Yes, in my opinion, there is a right way. Of course, that way is completely subjective, but to me, it involves choosing a bouquet that really reflects the recipients tastes and making sure the arrangement comes with a little something extra that lasts longer than the flowers. Even the heartiest of flowers don’t live forever, after all!
Choosing a Meaningful Mother’s Day Flower Arrangement
Rather than just picking out the first pretty bouquet that catches your eye, take a little time to investigate the meaning behind the flowers that you’ll be giving. For example, my gorgeous Pour on the Pink bouquet from Teleflora features pink roses, pink carnations, white alstroemeria (also called Peruvian Lilies), and matsumoto asters. I looked at the meaning behind each one.
Pink roses are for friendship. Our moms are often our first friends when we’re children. Although during the teen years, we seem to rebel against that, when we grow up, Mom once again becomes one of our closest friends.
Pink carnations signify gratitude. Who deserves our gratitude more than mom?
The matsumoto asters signifies love, faith and wisdom. We all know moms are wise!
White alstroemeria symbolizes devotion. No one is more devoted than a mother to her child.
Together the Pour on the Pink bouquet is a declaration of love and friendship, a symbol of gratitude for all mom does, and an acknowledgement of her eternal wisdom.
How to keep the memory of the flowers alive forever
Flowers don’t live forever. That’s just a fact of life. You can still keep the memory of the flowers alive though! Try taking pictures (like I did) and make a nice print from them! Collect the pictures over the years and turn them into a gorgeous coffee table book. Or, you can give flowers that come with a little something extra. The vase that comes with the Pour on the Pink bouquet doubles as a pitcher. Clean it out and it’s perfect for holding refreshing iced-tea for an afternoon of reading on the deck.

Love pink flowers! My favorites at Star Gazer Lily’s. 🙂
Those are really pretty! Lilies in general are all gorgeous flowers.
I adore pink flowers and they are so perfect for Mother’s Day! Guess I better start leaning the Telaflora website pulled up on the hubby’s computer for a hint – LOL!
These flowers are gorgeous and I would love to get a bouquet like this on Mother’s Day!
Gorgeous flowers!
Now that I live in a different state than my mom, I love using Teleflora because everything that I’ve ever ordered from them has been absolutely perfect!
Such beautiful flowers! I like the White alstroemeria. I didn’t know the meaning of most of them either, so thanks 🙂
I love the idea of a coffee table book!
Those flowers are gorgeous!
These are just stunning!!!
Hey Nicole,
Allow me to thank you for posting this post. I really want to surprise my mom by giving something special like flowers. But I’m not really the type of guy who knows everything about flowers and stuff. With your post, I learned that flowers have their own meanings and that picking the right combination of flowers would mean special. By the way, the pictures are great. Thanks again.
I love the pink flower with the yellow center! Beautiful!
