The best Mother’s Day flowers to order online in 2025

Flower variety: Roses, alstroemeria and hypericum | Features: Shipped with chic textured vase

My mom has been talking about her bouquet from Farmgirl Flowers since, well, last year. But this time around, it was my turn to receive one of its farm-fresh favorites. I was sold as soon as I unwrapped the 25(ish) sunshiney stems. The arrangement was bursting with color and life — there were spray roses in varying shades of pink, the perfect pop of purple alstroemeria and a healthy mix of greenery sprinkled in. 

Most of its bouquets arrive hand-tied and bundled in the signature burlap, but this beauty comes with a chic textured vase that looks like something you could buy at a high-end home store. That says a lot because most vase add-ons from other flower-delivery services are boring and basic at best. 

At $95, this arrangement is a tad pricier than most of the other picks on this list, but there’s no competition — it’s, without a doubt, the one I’d send my mom for Mother’s Day. 

A note on Mother’s Day delivery: Next-day delivery is available for most locations. Farmgirl Flowers doesn’t deliver on Sundays (including Mother’s Day) and Mondays. 

Flower variety: Roses, alstroemeria and daisies | Features: Light-up sign that reads “Amazing Mom”

1-800-Flowers gets brownie points for delivering my bouquet within hours of placing my order. Granted, I live in New York City, so the florist didn’t have to travel far, but color me impressed. It looked identical to the pictures, which is a rare feat since the site notes that local florists often have to use “substitute flower types, colors and containers to give you the freshest blooms available.” And sure, I may have been slightly jipped on the number of roses in my arrangement, but I didn’t mind one bit because it meant I got more purple cremons and snapdragons (which, let’s be real, are the real stars of the show here). 

It’s evident how much thought and care was put into this design. The lavender vase and matching “Amazing Mom” sign are a nice contrast to the whites and pinks in this bouquet, while also tying together the pops of purple. You can order one without the sign, if that’s not your mom’s thing. 

A note on Mother’s Day delivery: Delivery dates vary by location. It may pay off to get your Mother’s Day bouquet delivered early — there’s an additional charge for deliveries between May 9 and 11. 

Flower variety: Roses, carnations and alstroemeria | Features: Delivered in pink glass carafe 

This isn’t my first rodeo with Telefora, but this delivery was a night-and-day difference from my previous one. I was underwhelmed with my Valentine’s Day bouquet a couple months back, which makes this lively bunch a welcome surprise. The pink and peach roses were real standouts — and that’s saying something because I’m normally not a fan of roses.

Were the colors a bit off? Sure. Did that bother me? Not in the slightest. I actually preferred the variety of hues —there were more peaches and creams mixed in to offset the brighter pinks and greens. Here’s what really impressed me: Freshly cut roses typically have a shorter lifespan, but these stunners lasted a solid 10 days before starting to wilt.

A note about Mother’s Day delivery: Place orders by 2 p.m. Monday through Friday and before noon on weekends for same-day delivery. Want to guarantee arrival on Mother’s Day weekend? It’ll cost you up to $5 extra.

Flower variety: Roses, alstroemeria and sunflowers | Features: Comes with a Sugarfina Bento Box

Here’s the sweetest sampling of the bunch — in more ways than one. Let’s talk flowers first: I’ll admit, these didn’t wow me right out of the box. I snapped a photo on the day I received ’em for consistency’s sake, and you’ll see that the sunflowers and roses weren’t in full bloom yet. This isn’t a negative per se, but it’s a reminder to trust the process because it took around three days for the buds to fully open (just as The Bouqs Co. predicted, I must add). When the flowers were in their glory, they were a sight to behold — the variety was second only to Farmgirl Flowers, with elevated additions including yellow pom-poms and beaming sunflowers.

I know you’re here for the flowers, but this arrangement comes with a Sugarfina candy trio that’s worth noting. The sugar-filled Bento Box normally goes for $30 on its own (although it’s currently sold out on the brand’s website), which means this bundle is a treat for your wallet as much as it is for Mom. Plus, you can get 20% off your first order with code HELLO20. 

A note on Mother’s Day delivery: Same-day and next-day delivery is available in select cities, including Dallas and New York City. The Bouqs Co. doesn’t deliver on Sundays (yes, including Mother’s Day).

Flower variety: Roses, carnations, snapdragons and chrysanthemums | Features: Comes with a custom card with the option to add a video or voice message for an extra $3

Maybe you’ve seen unboxings on your Instagram feed, but let me tell you, nothing prepares you for the thrill of unboxing your very own Fresh Sends delivery. The box itself is a real treat. It’s downright delightful, with playful designs and sweet messages (including “seen, known, loved” on the inside flap). The flowers had a similar cheery vibe, with a curated selection of bright and soft springy shades. It’s not just a bouquet; it’s a full-on gifting experience that, as the brand says, aims to “freshen up the cookie-cutter gifting industry.” 

Fresh Sends isn’t as big of an operation as 1-800-Flowers or other major players in the flower game. Because of this, you may notice a few key differences — the bouquet options are more limited and there are often shipping restrictions for its holiday offerings. Even so, the packaging, best-of-class flower quality and optional extras (including a Tower 28 travel-size duo) make Fresh Sends a win in my book.

A note on Mother’s Day delivery: The Mother’s Day Send will only be delivered from May 6 to 10. If you want a bouquet delivered outside of that window, go with the brand’s bestseller, The Send (pictured here). 

Flower variety: Roses and garden roses | Features: Comes with a limited-edition Little Words Project bracelet

UrbanStems is the ultimate comeback kid (in my eyes, at least). Hear me out: Thousands of people swear by UrbanStems, and sure, the arrangements are intricate and beautiful, but are they worth the steep price tag? It was a hard no from me — that is, until I laid my eyes on these roses. They were full and fluffy, and the chosen greenery elevated their beauty.

The flowers make a statement, but so does the included Little Words Project limited-edition bracelet that spells out “bloom.” And if you want to make her Mother’s Day extra special, round out her gift with quality add-ons like a Poppy & Pout lip balm and Nest candle.

A note on Mother’s Day delivery: Same-day delivery is available in metropolitan areas on orders placed before 11 a.m. local time. Next-day delivery is available for most bouquets. Get 15% off sitewide with code YAHOO15.

Flower variety: Gerber daisies, roses and salvia | Features: Comes with a Mother’s Day postcard

A couple of years back, I gave my mom a three-month subscription to BloomsyBox and it was perhaps one of the best gifts I’ve ever given (her words). She knows flowers, so I took her word for it when she said that they were among the freshest blooms she’s ever received at her doorstep. So, imagine my delight when I got to experience the BloomsyBox magic firsthand. 

While the greenery overpowered the flowers, the bold blooms were as farm-fresh as it gets (Mom’s always right!). There’s just one thing: The brand claims this bouquet includes 49 stems, but mine seemed to fall a bit short. It looked better once all of the flowers opened up, but it still wasn’t nearly as luxuriant as the one in the picture. Maybe it was an off MOMent, though: One of its Valentine’s Day bouquets earned top scores during my testing a few months back. 

A note on Mother’s Day delivery: Next-day delivery is an option, but keep in mind that BloomsyBox doesn’t deliver bouquets on Sundays and Mondays. Saturday deliveries also aren’t guaranteed — type in the recipient’s zip code to see if it’s available in their area. 

Flower variety: Daisies, lilies and lavender | Features: Add a glass vase for an extra $10

Lilies and lavender come together in a bouquet that’s just as fragrant as it is beautiful. The lilies were still in bud form upon arrival, but I considered that to be a plus since I got to watch them bloom right before my eyes. This is all part of FTD’s guarantee that “bouquets are fresh and will last at least seven days.”

My experience checked all the major boxes — seamless delivery and quality, long-lasting flowers — but I was left wanting more. FTD is simple and straightforward, but it doesn’t have all the bells and whistles of its competitors. So, here’s the deal: FTD is a solid contender if you want to give beautiful flowers without breaking the bank, but look elsewhere if your mom can be swayed by pretty packaging and thoughtful add-ons. 

A note on Mother’s Day delivery: Due to high volume, orders placed for Mother’s Day weekend will have an extra shipping fee. This particular bouquet has a $10 weekend shipping fee, but there are plenty of options on the site that only have a $3 fee.
