How to Pick Perfect Flowers for Mother's Day
Millions of flowers are sent out on Mother's Day celebration
every year. The flowers have been an emblem of mother's love for
centuries
While there were local celebrations honoring mothers in the late
1800's, Mother's Day did not become an official holiday until
1910 in the United States. The recognition of Mother's Day as a
official national holiday in U.S. was largely due to the efforts
of Miss Anna Jarvis. In 1907, Miss Anna began a campaign to
establish a national Mother's Day to honor all mothers, living
and dead. Miss Anna Jarvis (the mother of Mother's Day) selected
the pink carnations as the symbol for Mother's Day. She supplied
white flowers at the first service conducted in Grafton, West
Virginia. Pink carnations are widely accepted for the Mother's
Day because of the inherent quality of sweetness, purity and
endurance. England was one of the first countries to celebrate
Mothering Sunday for a different reason. Today, Mother's Day is
celebrated in more than 40 countries around the world. Not all
nations celebrate on the same day or for the same reason, but
they all celebrate the day with the loves for the mothers and
with beautiful flowers. In United States, besides flowers
Mother's Day Gift Baskets, Mother's Day Ring or Jewelry are
popular choices for Mother's day
gifts.
Pink, white and red flowers are common colors for Mother's
Day flowers. Each color has unique meaning in Mother's Day
celebration. White flowers with their sweet fragrance are
regarded as the flowers for those who have missed their mothers
either because of death, or because of distance. Red flowers,
representing life and love, are considered the symbol of love
for living mothers.
The affectionate and cheerful flowers are generally considered
more appropriate for Mother's day. Examples of flowers that
should be given to a mother include wild flowers, tulips, Gerber
daisies, birth month flowers, or any flower that is a mother's
particular favorite. Roses are always a popular choice, however
for a mom pink, yellow, orange, or white are more appropriate.
Every woman loves roses, and the alternate colors brighten up
the rose as well as show love in a non-romantic way.
