A mother’s heart always welcomes hugs and kisses, but her special day is the best time to go the extra mile? Take those fresh flowers you're getting her and use them to make a gorgeous and heartfelt decoration for her home. It's the perfect way to bring new life and energy to her space, and the permanence of the piece will remind her of your thoughtful gesture for years to come.
These five ideas for Mother's Day flower decorations will wow Mom awhile adding some flair to her home.
1. Personalize Pots
The fresh blooms you buy her wont not last forever, but gifting them in a pot or vase that she can use all year long will brighten her home. Purchase several different pots, planters, and vases of varying sizes, and will let Mom mix and match around the home wherever she likes. This will give you a chance to include a Mother's Day plant with some staying power.
Now, take your pots and coat them with a layer of chalkboard paint or black paint specially formulated to give them a flat, matte exterior. Then, decorate them using either chalk, for temporary messages that can be updated, or paint markers in bright colors that will pop against the black background forever. You can coordinate the colors and designs to create a fun, unified display or make each one different so Mom can use them throughout her home.
2. Wake Her Up to a Bedside Arrangement
Surprise by arranging a basketful of flowers or flowering plants on her bedside table. Take cues from her bedroom decor, using the colors from her bedding, curtains, or throw pillows to inspire her Mother's Day arrangement. Then, choose a basket, bucket, or vase to pull it all together. This will let Mom enjoy her flowers long after Sunday.
3. Add a Vintage Touch
If Mom loves antiques as much as she loves flowers, think outside the box (or vase) and swing by your local antique store or flea market for a rustic floral vessel. Look for vintage porcelain that you can arrange her bouquet, or get creative and place your gift in an old watering can, wooden box, plastic lined basket, or even a birdhouse. Whatever you choose, your gift should be unique, whimsical, and the embodiement of Mom’s unique passions.
4. Perennial Flower for the Porch or Patio
Receiving flowers is a wonderful thing, but it’s even better gifting them again and again, year after year. If Mom loves to garden, consider purchasing her a set of sprouted bulbs to plant herself. Or, if she doesn’t have a green thumb but loves flowers, get her a hardy perennial plant that doesn’t require much care, that and she can enjoy on her front porch or apartment balcony for years to come. If you need a recommendation, we know she'll love paperwhites and hyacinth.
5. Make the Bathroom Flourish
Flowering plants do more than brighten a home; they also clean the air of the room they’re in. So, how better to brighten Mom’s bathroom than with a hanging flowering plant? Look for low-light plants like calla lilies, and place one in a decorative hanging basket or planter. Screw a hook to the ceiling, and give Mom something that will leave a lasting impression within the room.
