Say It With Flowers: 6 Flower Delivery Services For Your Mother's Day Bouquet
The mothers and maternal figures in your life still deserve that special treat. In fact, it’s now more meaningful than ever to shower your dear ones with love and affection. Although many yearly traditions are off the table at the moment, there are plenty of other ways you can express your appreciation for them, such as a brunch date over Zoom, a drive-by hello, or a contactlessly delivered bouquet of fresh blooms.
Not only are flowers a pretty much foolproof gift (because who doesn’t like flowers?), multiple studies have proven that their colours and scents also trigger happy emotions and heighten feelings of enjoyment and life satisfaction. And goodness knows everyone needs more of that these days.
Ahead of Sunday, May 10, we’ve rounded up a list of online floral boutiques that deliver islandwide to help you find the right gift (and pick-me-up) for your mum and more.
If you’re looking for flowers that will last beyond a week or two, then The Floral Atelier is the one for you. Thanks to the special treatment applied to blossoms in its Eternity line, flowers like roses and hydrangeas can stay fresh for up to a year, with no watering or pruning required. As low maintenance as a cactus, but a lot more exquisite.
Triceratops takes the idea of bespoke bouquets to another level. To place an order, you have to fill out a quiz of sorts on your intended giftee, with questions ranging from her age and favourite colours to her hobbies and sense of style. Triceratops will then create a one-of-a-kind floral arrangement to match, and deliver it straight to her doorstep.
Think dried flowers belong in potpourri and not posies? Floral Kokoro will change your mind. The first of its type in Singapore, this dried flower concept store serves up vibrant blooms that are not so much dried as fantastically frozen in time. Floral Kokoro is currently offering a free delivery service for purchases from its Mother’s Day collection, which includes the pastel-hued “Born of Love” mini bouquet, and the “Thank You, Mama” gift set of flowers, candy, mulberry tea, and a candle.
Putting a playful spin on the conventional bouquet, the Mother’s Day flowers from TOKI arrive in coffee mugs emblazoned with phrases like “Mama Bear” and “I Love That You’re My Mom”. You can also add a topper (like a cake topper but for flowers) that reads “Super Mom” or “The Best Mum” to your selection of roses, carnations, hydrangeas, and more.
The Green Room’s floral arrangements are simple but striking: centred on a particular flower, and wrapped in minimal packaging to allow its natural beauty to shine. Choose from timeless roses, graceful calla lilies, effervescent sunflowers, and an unusual bouquet of (edible) red apples.
You might recognise Petalfoo’s quirky creations from social media (think bouquets of local snacks, banknotes, and even fried chicken), but for Mother’s Day 2020, the florist is going back to the basics with boxes of preserved flowers in shades of the rainbow. Each order comes with a bottle of essential oils – geranium, lavender, or eucalyptus – to intensify the fragrance, and there’s also a DIY option should you want to add a personal touch to your gift.
