Mother's Day Flowers NYC

When is Mother's Day in 2025?

Mother’s Day lands on Sunday, May 11, 2025, and in NYC, it always seems to sneak up between spring showers and the first warm rooftop brunches.

In the U.S., Mother’s Day has been a tradition since 1914, created to celebrate the quiet, everyday work that motherhood requires. Now, over a century later, it’s more important than ever to take a moment to honor the women who hold it all together.

This year, do yourself a favor and don’t wait until the weekend. The earlier you order, the more options you have, and the less likely you are to be left scrambling on the F train with a last-minute grocery store bouquet.

What Makes Mother’s Day Special?

Mother’s Day forces us to slow down and pay attention in a city where everyone's in a rush. And that’s exactly what makes it matter. It’s not about a perfect gift, it’s about the pause. The phone call, the unexpected visit, the flowers that arrive just when she’s starting her day.

And it’s not only for moms. This day is for grandmothers, aunts, mentors, stepmoms, mother figures—anyone who’s ever shown up in that role. One small gesture of recognition can last a lot longer than you think.

What Should You Get Your Mother for Mother’s Day?

NYC is a city of options, and that includes gifts. If you're not sure what to get, start here:

• A bouquet that fits her style: Soft and classic? Go for pastel roses. Bright and bold? Peonies or tulips. Something unexpected? Try our signature seasonal mix.
• A piece of jewelry she’ll actually wear: Think everyday elegance, nothing over-the-top. Just something she’ll reach for often, or maybe a pendant with her favorite crystal.
• Something to grow: A potted orchid, maybe a peace lily. Low effort, high beauty—perfect for a New York apartment window.
• An experience: Brunch in SoHo, a walk in Central Park, or just coffee and conversation. Time is a gift, especially here. *** A little indulgence**: A candle she wouldn’t buy for herself. A box of really good chocolate. Macarons delivered with her flowers. Details matter.

Whatever you choose, make it feel like her. That’s what turns a gift into a memory.

What Flowers to Order in NYC for Mother’s Day

Not every flower travels well in New York. We choose blooms that are beautiful, seasonal, and sturdy enough to handle the city. New Yorkers know beauty when they see it, and at Ode à la Rose, we keep things elegant, seasonal, and city-tested. Whether she loves soft romance or bold simplicity, we have blooms that speak her language.

Here’s what’s standing out this Mother’s Day:

1. Tulips: A spring classic with a modern edge. Clean lines, bright color, and the kind of quiet charm that fits in anywhere, from a Park Slope brownstone to a Fifth Ave office.
2. Peonies: Limited season, unlimited love. These lush, delicate blooms are Mother’s Day icons for a reason. Soft pink, coral, or white, they’re as joyful as the day itself.
3. Roses (with a twist): Skip the overdone red. We lean into unexpected tones—blush, apricot, creamy ivory, that feel fresh, stylish, and perfectly NYC.
4. Single-Variety Bouquets: Sometimes less is more. Choose a bunch of one standout bloom, like a dozen roses or a tight cluster of tulips, for a clean, confident look.
5. Signature Bouquets: Designed daily in our studio using the best seasonal flowers on hand. No two are the same, but all of them are balanced, beautiful, and made to impress.
6. Potted Plants: For something that sticks around, choose a low-maintenance green plant. It’s a subtle, lasting gift that brings life to even the smallest apartment space.

Whatever you choose, your bouquet will be crafted with care and delivered with precision because in NYC, timing and style matter.

Should You Include Something Else Besides the Mother’s Day Flower Bouquet?

A bouquet is beautiful on its own, but if you want to elevate the experience, adding one or two small touches can make it feel that much more personal. Here are a few additions worth considering:

Spa Kit

Turn her day into a quiet escape. A curated spa kit, think calming bath soak, soothing lotion, and a soft eye mask, gives her permission to pause. And that might be the best gift of all.

Macarons

Delicate, pastel, and just the right amount of sweet, macarons bring a little Paris to her kitchen table and pair perfectly with a morning coffee or afternoon glass of bubbly.

Candles

Set the mood. A luxury candle in a clean, fresh scent can change the tone of her whole evening. It’s a small item that says: “You deserve some quiet.”

Sparkling Champagne

A non-alcoholic bottle of bubbly adds instant celebration. Whether she opens it with brunch or saves it for sunset, it turns a simple moment into a toast-worthy one.

Vase

No one wants to scramble for a container. Add a vase so her flowers are ready to enjoy the second they arrive, no kitchen improvising required.

Chocolate

If you're going sweet, go all the way. Choose a small box of well-made, rich chocolate. It’s indulgent, satisfying, and universally loved.

A Notecard

Sometimes, this is the most important part. She'll often keep a short, sincere message, just a few words, long after the flowers are gone.

These small details aren’t just add-ons. They’re what make the gift feel complete, thoughtful, and truly hers.
