Mother’s Day Flowers are a traditional and thoughtful way to show your mother, grandmother and mother of your children and others your respect and love for her. Mother’s Day is an annual opportunity to celebrate every mom and show appreciation for everything they do all year round!

In 1904, a man stepped into the limelight on behalf of all the mothers in Canada and the United States, Frank E. Hering, the President of the Fraternal Order of Eagles. He made a public plea to initiate the a national day to honor mothers, however it wasn’t until the death of Ann Jarvis in 1905, when her daughter stepped in and began to rally for a memorial day for mothers that Mothers Day actually came to be. Anna Jarvis daughter Ann handed out a single white carnation to each of the 500 mothers at her mothers and her church a year before the first Mother’s Day was officially recorded which started the tradition of white carnations being a huge part of Mother’s Day. The first recorded Mother’s Day was on May 10, 1908, a Sunday, at St. Andrew’s Methodist Episcopal Church in Virginia, as Jarvis wished for it to be looked at in the same light as a Holy Day. It was not until President Wilson on May 9th, 1914 declared Mother’s Day as an official holiday honoring mothers who had lost children to war.

Carnations are now known to be the official flower for Mother’s Day in Canada and the United States as well as the tradition of wearing a carnation corsage or boutonniere representing the status of ones mother. A red carnation worn represents that the person mother is still living and a white carnation represents someone who has lost his or her mother. The history of Mother’s Day is the reason behind the long-standing tradition of carnations being one of the best choices of flowers to incorporate into a Mothers Day flower bouquet.

If you’re looking for flowers that send an especially eloquent message, you can select blooms to speak the “language of flowers.” Each flower has a traditional meaning associated with it. Communicating with flowers was especially popular during the Victorian era, but many people keep the tradition alive today.
