MOTHERS DAY - SUNDAY 14th MARCH 2010

One of our favourite days of the year is just ahead....Mothers Day.  As florists it is one of the nicest annual occasions as people of all ages and all types celebrate their wonderful Mums.  This year, we have recognised that no two Mums are the same, and hence they are unlikely to want the same flowers.  However, to give you some ideas and inspiration we have included some bouquets, arrangements and planted spring bulb arrangements below, all of which can be adapted and changed to suit specific requirements.

It is suggested orders are placed early to ensure that we can source specific flowers and that we buy the right amount of flowers to meet our customers' needs.  Call us on 01732 850723 or email us on info@distinctlyfloral.co.uk with any questions.

Firstly we have designed some hand-tied bouquets for Mum, one being a more standard all-round design including lilies, germinis, skimmia, chincherinchee, palms and grasses, wrapped in toning tissue and cellophane and finished with a very "on-trend" polka dot bow.  This bouquet would be delivered in an aqua pack for freshness and can start from £30 plus delivery.  The bouquet shown is a larger size and would be £45.

The second bouquet we have included is a front-facing bouquet including the exotic cymbidium orchids, molucella, skimmia and willow along with aralia leaves.  Again this bouquet would be delivered in a water bubble and wrapped in a stylish cellophane.  This is a long lasting bouquet and very stylish.  Colours can vary as the fabulous cymbidium orchid is grown in a range of colours.  This particular bouquet can start at £30.

We love spots here at Distinctly Floral and as they are particularly trendy this season, we've introduced a range of polka dot zinc containers for Mothers Day in a range of sizes.  We decided to plant some of the containers with spring flowers (hyacinths, narcissi, primulas) and also to prepare a cut flower arrangement using lilies, germinis, cymbidium orchids and foliage in one of the pots.  They range in price according to what we include, but start at £20 plus delivery.

We also use a range of ceramic containers and again planted some with spring bulbs, and another one was completed with an arrangement of freesias, germini, lisianthus, and eryngium which we think any Mum would love.  As a final presentation, we included one of our planted pots in a handbag and finished it with the obligatory polka dot bow.  Another idea of how to make Mum feel special this Mothers Day.

We hope you like the designs and see something that Mum would like and something that inspires you.  If you have any different or specific requirements, please call or email us at any time. 

Happy Mothers Day!
