The history behind Mother’s Day flowers in Christchurch

The tradition of giving flowers on Mother’s Day has deep historical roots. In ancient times, the Greeks and Romans dedicated floral offerings to goddesses associated with motherhood. The custom evolved into a religious observance into ‘Mothering Sunday’ where families would return to their “mother church” and present flowers to their own mothers as a token of love.

The modern Mother’s Day of today was popularised by Anna Jarvis in the early 20th century. Her choice of flower - the carnation - became the emblem of a mother’s undying love. Since then, flowers have remained at the heart of Mother’s Day celebrations worldwide, symbolising gratitude, admiration, and devotion.



Why flowers are the perfect Mother’s Day gift

Flowers are more than just a beautiful present; they are a powerful expression of emotion. Each bloom carries a special meaning, allowing you to convey the depth of your appreciation in a single bouquet.

Symbolism and meaning: carnations, traditionally associated with Mother’s Day, symbolise a mother’s love. Roses represent gratitude and admiration, while lilies convey purity and beauty. Orchids, known for their elegance, are a sophisticated choice to signify strength and grace.

Aesthetic and emotional impact: fresh flowers brighten any space, lifting moods and enhancing the atmosphere with natural warmth and joy, and a glorious fragrance.

Custom flower arrangements: a carefully chosen arrangement adds a personal touch. Whether your mother loves soft pastels, vibrant hues to brighten her day, or classic whites, our expert florists can craft a bouquet that reflects her personality and preferences.
