How a Designer Chooses the Best Mother’s Day Blooms

“I’ll take two boxes of these chocolate-covered berries, a bottle of Billecart-Salmon, and two champagne glasses delivered bedside on Mother’s Day morning. I’m talking to you, Husband.”

“If I received this bountiful bunch of pale pink peonies from my children, I would have to wonder who tipped them off. They are my absolute favorite.”

“Lately all I want is a stylish arrangement of pink roses stationed on the corner of my desk. I’m convinced they make slogging through work a bit more cheerful.”

“You cannot beat the tonal range of peaches, hot pinks, and oranges in this exuberant combination. I would be thrilled to receive this.”

“Sending this elegant arrangement in plain glass jar to my chic architect’s wife who loves peonies and especially poppies (is that the white flower with black interior?). They will both appreciate the pared-down prettiness.”

“This lavish, three-tiered breakfast box is bound to make my niece Elizabeth scream with joy. She has just had her third child and surely needs a break from the morning routine. Plus, the packaging is so pretty.”

“My British bestie Alice, mother of three, lives in Los Angeles. Alice will love the haphazard, English country romance of this pleasing pastel arrangement.”

“Sending this decadent and sexy situation to my single friend Emily who is mother to several adopted animals. Emily gets overlooked on the traditional Mother’s Day offerings, so she will love the surprise.”

“My mother-in-law adores cheerful pastels. This tight arrangement is like a walking through a field of happiness. I am certain to score majorly with this one!”
