Nothing says Mother’s Day in Cambridge and Boston more than Lilac Sunday at the Arboretum, when picnicking under those fragrant purple blooms transports us into a sublime fairytale. But those aren’t the only iconic blooms you have to look forward to on Mother’s Day, as the floral professionals here at Central Square Florist in Cambridge, Massachusetts are ready to craft a custom arrangement for the wonderful moms in your life. Whether she’s an old school fan of classic red roses or has more eclectic and eccentric tastes, we can cater to her unique sensibilities with the finest and freshest flowers in the greater Boston area.

The Healthy Snack Mom

Are you blessed with a mother who is always whipping up something healthy and delicious in the kitchen? Maybe it’s her famous oatmeal cookie recipe with lots of healthy ingredients, or perhaps she brews her own delicious kombucha with tea. Whatever the case may be, the healthy snack mom is worthy of our gratitude on Mother’s Day, when we say thank you for all of her healthy efforts. The best way to do precisely that is to give her a dazzling bouquet of fresh cut flowers. Make peonies the star of the show — a flower that’s been prized for its medicinal uses for many, many years — to acknowledge her commitment to health.

The “Always-On-The-Go” Mom

Being a mother is one of the most challenging and rewarding jobs out there. From the moment you bring your little ones into the world, your to-do list seems to multiply by the second. That’s why it’s essential to show the always-on-the-go mom some love and appreciation for all their hard work — and what better way to do that than with a vibrant bouquet of fresh-cut flowers? For the ultimate touch of symbolism, make sure to include anemones, also known as wind flowers. These delicate blooms capture the essence of motherhood perfectly, as like the wind, mothers are a constant presence in our lives, always there to guide us through the ups and downs of life.

The Trendy Mom

Whether it’s the latest fashion, new makeup techniques, or even what’s popular in the home decor space, the trendy mom is always on top of the latest and edgiest fads. She’s masterful at pulling them off too, making her a model of all things stylish no matter where she goes. That’s why you want to make sure you’re keen on what’s hot in floral trends this Mother’s Day, as you want the bouquet you get her to be as impressive as her daily outfits and hairstyles. We suggest an arrangement bursting with protea, a flower that never goes out of fashion. For an added nod to your mom’s attention to detail, opt for magenta blooms, as that’s Pantone’s 2023 color of the year.

The “Say Cheese” Mom

Are the walls of your home artfully decorated with family photos from memorable family trips? Or perhaps the gallery wall in your living room features snaps of memorable moments like first days of school and important holidays. This is a surefire sign you have a “say cheese” mom, who documents all the family milestones with skill and gusto. Show her you appreciate her amazing talent with the camera on Mother’s Day with a classic arrangement of radiant flowers. For an extra nod to the “say cheese” mom, gift her with roses, the most photogenic flower out there. Who knows, you might see a stunning series of flower photos up on the wall next.

The Pet Mom

We do a lot for our pets, from waking up early to fill their bowls or take them on a walk to spending lots of money at the vet to keep them happy and healthy. That’s why having a furry friend is a big commitment, but it’s literally what makes the pet mom tick. She loves her critters like they’re her own children, spoiling them with affection, treats, snuggles, and presents. So why not show the pet mom in your life how loved she is on Mother’s Day, too? We suggest surprising her with a beautiful bouquet of colorful flowers that are safe for her animals. The gerbera daisy is a perfect option, as it’s both bold in color and non-toxic to the whole family. That’s a win-win she’ll surely appreciate.

While there are plenty of ways you can say thank you to your mom on Mother’s Day, one of the most timeless and classic gifts is a custom bouquet that caters to her refined tastes. Let the flower experts here at Central Square Florist in Cambridge, Massachusetts create an arrangement that will brighten her day with stunning blooms.
