Behind the Blooms: The Story of Your Mother’s Day Bouquet

Behind the Blooms: The Story of Your Mother’s Day Bouquet

Every bouquet we create at The Wild Rose is crafted with love, but our Mother’s Day Bouquet holds a special place in our hearts. When we first designed it last year, we knew we wanted something truly special—something that reflected the beauty, love, and warmth of mums everywhere.

The Beginning of Something Special

We poured our hearts into creating this bouquet, carefully selecting soft pinks and rich purples to balance elegance and charm perfectly. It was a real labour of love—every stem placed with intention, every colour chosen to capture the feeling of gratitude and admiration. To make it even more special, we decided to pair it with a complimentary Happy Mother’s Day Cookie, because every mum deserves a little extra sweetness.

We adored the bouquet, but what we didn’t anticipate was just how much our customers would love it too. Orders came flooding in—far beyond what we had expected. We had stocked up for pre-orders and in-store purchases, but as Mother’s Day approached, we found ourselves completely sold out, with last-minute phone orders and customers hoping to secure one.

The Birth of Our Occasion Bouquets

Its overwhelming success showed us something important: People love having a go-to bouquet for life’s biggest moments. From there, our Occasion Bouquets were born. Now, we offer thoughtfully designed floral arrangements for Mother’s Day, Birthdays, Anniversaries, Congratulations, and of course, Valentine’s Day. Each one is made with the same care and intention as that first Mother’s Day bouquet—because flowers should be more than just beautiful; they should feel meaningful, too.

A Nod to Mothering Sunday

While we celebrate Mother’s Day in May, did you know that in the UK and some other countries, Mothering Sunday is observed on the fourth Sunday of Lent? Historically, it was a day when people returned to their "mother church," and over time, it evolved into a day to honour mothers with flowers and small gifts. No matter when or where it’s celebrated, the heart of the occasion remains the same—showing love and appreciation for the amazing women who raise, support, and nurture us.
