These Are the Best Places to Buy Mother’s Day Flowers

Started in San Francisco, Farmgirl Flowers now ships all across the U.S. The bouquets are big works of art and all come sweetly wrapped in burlap. Many of them come in different sizes, like 25 stems, 35 stems, and 45 stems. The brand’s selection of flowers is a big pro—you’ll find mixed arrangements, roses, peonies, anemones, and more.

Flowers from The Bouqs are directly sourced from farms, which means less transit time and fresher flowers. And if you want to add something extra to the gift, The Bouqs has flower-gift pairings, like pink tulips and a necklace; a bouquet of roses and gourmet chocolate; and a mixed arrangement and a candle.

We had to include one of the OGs in the flower delivery business, 1-800-Flowers. It’s been a staple for years and for good reason—the prices are reasonable and the selection is vast. This year, the brand launched MomVerse, an AI-powered free consumer experience powered by ChatGPT which will create original poems, songs, or verses. All you have to do is select the type of verse (haiku, song, limerick), who the poem or song is for, and input things they like. You can attach the message to your bouquet, or you can share it with your loved one through text, email, on social, or even print it out. 

If your mom is an aspiring florist or floral designer, she’ll enjoy the Bouquet Box. Each box contains an expert-designed deconstructed flower arrangement and the tools you need (a vase, grid lid, clippers, a step-by-step guide, and more) to create a stunning bouquet.

Urban Stems delivers to cities all over the West, like Los Angeles, Phoenix, Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, Las Vegas, and more. There are also plant offerings, too, if mom is crazy about her houseplants. And the brand has something for every budget—some arrangements are under $50.

Floom partners with local florists in select cities to deliver unique and artisanal bouquets right to the recipient’s door. And because you’re ordering through local businesses, the offerings and availabilities may change depending on where your loved one lives. Right now the service is available in these Western cities: Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego, and Denver.

Based in San Luis Obispo, Idlewild Floral Co. specializes in dried and preserved flowers. The bouquets are so beautiful and unique, they’re just as pretty as the fresh versions with the added bonus of lasting pretty much forever.

Flowerbx focuses on single stem arrangements, so if mom is crazy about tulips, just wants a bouquet of peonies, or loves a beautiful vase of roses, you’re going to want to try this delivery service. Currently the company delivers to these states in the West: California, Nevada, Washington, Utah, Wyoming, and Oregon.

One of our favorite garden stores, Terrain offers some gorgeous flower arrangements, too. And of course, they also have foliage offerings if your mom prefers that, like eucalyptus.

An arrangement from Venus et Fleur isn’t the cheapest option, but the reason for that is these roses can last a year or more. I have one little bud that’s still looking good almost two years later. Each arrangement comes luxuriously packaged and you can choose from different colors (even bold ones like aqua, rainbow, and gold).
