Mother’s Day Guide: Beautiful Bouquets

Posted by Natalie Kaar / Thursday, May 10th, 2012

You may think flowers are so done when it comes to gift giving at Mother’s Day, but we personally don’t know many, make that any, moms who don’t just love some beautiful buds. And while time may be tight, with the special day to celebrate Mom coming up in just three days, you can still fulfill online orders without breaking the bank. 

For instance …

FTD is full of gorgeous bouquets, like this sophisticated bundle, just $49.99 including the vase (plus shipping), with delivery still available on Saturday. All bouquets on the site are currently discounted 25 percent.

 

Another favorite at FTD, this Deep Emotions bouquet by Better Homes & Gardens comes with a free vase plus a free one-year subscription to the magazine. Various sizes range from just $39.99 to $74.99 plus shipping.

 

It’s also lovely to receive flowers that will last long after the holiday, like this gorgeous Celebration Orchid, with two sizes available from $89.99 to $99.99 plus shipping, from 1800flowers.com; save $20 with the code RMN20.

Some sites even offer Sunday delivery, like floristexpress.net. Most local florists are still accepting orders as well. And, honestly, if you live near Mom, it’s amazing how much you can save — while still getting that wow factor — by buying flowers at a grocery store or farmers market then arranging them in an inexpensive vase from, say, Target or Michael’s.

Happy shopping!
