Our Ultimate Guide to buying Mother’s Day Flowers in 2025. What type of Mum do you have?
Below is your ultimate (and very low-stress) guide to choosing Mother’s Day flowers that’ll make her feel all the feels — no matter what kind of mum you’ve got.
Whether she’s the quiet type who shows love in cups of tea and full fridges, or the powerhouse who runs the world and still remembers your shoe size, she deserves to feel adored this Mother’s Day.
And while gifts come in many shapes, nothing quite hits the heart like beautiful, thoughtful, fragrant little floral reminders that say, “I see you, and I love you.”
Especially when they arrive unexpectedly at her door.
For the Classic Mum
She’s the one who raised you on warm hugs, life lessons, and probably a few hundred homemade lasagnas.
Her love is quiet, consistent, and always there - just like her taste in flowers.
Go for a mix of soft carnations and traditional chrysanthemums — timeless, gentle, and deeply meaningful.
Carnations symbolise a mother’s eternal love, while chrysanthemums (literally named for mums) are the go-to bloom for Mother’s Day in Australia.
Together, they create a bouquet that feels just like home.
For the Stylish Mum
She’s got more flair than your Instagram feed and somehow pulls off elegance even when she’s in trackies.
For the mum who appreciates design, colour, and something a little different, go for a modern, curated bouquet with stock, asters, and a mix of sculptural seasonal blooms.
Stock offers that soft, romantic scent and a sense of tranquility.
Asters bring playful charm and are known to represent elegance and patience (sound like anyone you know?).
Add a few unexpected field flowers or bold focal blooms, and you’ve got a bunch as stylish as she is.
For the Low-Key Legend
She’ll insist she doesn’t want a fuss, but you know she deserves the whole parade. For this mum, keep things beautifully simple.
A wildflower-inspired bouquet with fresh, just-picked energy will feel perfectly her.
Think soft, muted tones, interesting textures, and that effortless countryside-morning-in-a-vase look.
These arrangements have a laid-back charm while still delivering all the thought and beauty of a more formal bunch.
For the Plant Lover
Some mums would rather nurture than be nurtured — they’re happiest with dirt under their fingernails and a windowsill full of life.
If that’s your mum, consider a native bunch instead of bright delicate flowers.
So if you're after that special “wow” moment (the knock on the door, the gasp, the fragrance filling the house), go for a florist designed native bunch that offer both beauty and impact.
Bonus points if the bouquet includes a mix of longer-lasting blooms like carnations and stock, so she can enjoy it all week.
