Choose Perfect Bouquet For Mother's Day

(ARA) - Whether it's your grandmother, mother, wife or friend, flowers continue to remain one of the most popular gifts to give on Mother's Day. Make this her most memorable Mother's Day yet by giving her something that reflects her unique personality and style.

From contemporary to casual, ProFlowers designer and floral expert Laura Milder offers tips on how to make sure your bouquet selection will be the perfect fit for the personality and style of that special mom in your life.

Modern mom: She's hipper than you, always has the latest editions of "Vogue" and "Vanity Fair," and knows what's "hot" before everyone else. For mothers that are always keeping up with the latest in fashion and design, shopping for flowers online is a surefire way to match the right bouquet to her contemporary style.

This Mother's Day, trends point toward simplicity and taking a break from the hectic pace of life. Monochromatic bouquets such as french tulips and dendrobium orchids or potted orchids have a very modern look. Short arrangements have a very hip appearance when placed in small round or square vases.

A "cause" for celebration: She is a nurse, chef, therapist and best friend all rolled into one. If you recognize this "super" mom, choose a flower arrangement that also makes a difference. Select a bouquet that gives back to a charity of your mom's choice. For moms who are a little more eco-friendly, chose an organic arrangement or go for a beautiful flowering plant or bulb garden that will be admired long after Mother's Day.

A mother like no other: A free-spirited mom lives in the moment and never misses a beat; she loves to get creative and always has a paintbrush or camera close by. A great way to mirror your mom's unique personality is to add some personal touches to your gift. Collect old pieces of broken china and porcelain to create a unique mosaic vase or let your inner artist out by painting a flower clay pot with a personal message or design. Any "original" mom will love this unique work of art, whether it's outside in the garden or inside on the windowsill.

A twist on the traditional: Dinner at six, coffee at seven and bedtime at 10. For moms and grandmothers who tend to stick to their everyday routine, there are many time-honored, traditional floral arrangements to choose from. Graceful bouquets of pale pink roses, purple butterfly asters or white lilies are ideal for Mother's Day. Presentation is everything, so add a little twist by wrapping a cylindrical or hourglass vase in a sheer fabric or cloth and securing it with a pretty ribbon.
