You can never go wrong with a bouquet of fresh blooms for mom, especially on the ever-so-important holiday: Mother's Day, which officially falls on Sunday, May 12 this year. If you're on the hunt for the best Mother's Day bouquet ideas, we have you covered with gorgeous arrangements from our favorite online flower delivery services. When picking out a bouquet, keep in mind her favorite colors, types of flowers, and scents. If you have no idea, there's absolutely no shame in asking! Just make sure to get all this info a few weeks beforehand, so she doesn't immediately guess what you're up to. You want the flowers to be a semi-surprise, after all.

Whether she prefers classic florals such as roses or tulips, free-spirited bouquets featuring ranunculus, or more modern styles like succulents, the stunning picks below definitely make the cut. We also selected bouquets that come in a range of prices for your budget, and companies that offer extras with your florals like a candle or sweets. Before you start making purchases, be sure to keep an eye on the available delivery dates and times. Many sites have deadlines that guarantee delivery by Mother's Day. Meanwhile, companies like the cult-favorite Venus et Fleur have countdowns of exactly when you need to order, so your flowers won't arrive late to mom. One thing's for sure, it's better to shop sooner rather than later, so don't delay on selecting the perfect arrangement to send through!

Minimalist

Dubbed the "minimalist," this bouquet will appeal to the moms who love soft neutral colors. The flowers and greenery are wrapped in burlap for that signature rustic touch associated with Farmgirl Flowers. Given that this arrangement is one of the brand's best-sellers, if you're overwhelmed by all the different floral choices, just add this one to cart and don't look back. There's also the option to send along a vase and candy (for additional costs) with your bouquet.

Spring Waltz

Since Mother's Day is in the spring, you could go thematic with your floral color choices by opting for white asiatic lilies, cream roses, yellow tulips, lavender matsumoto asters, and ivy. This bouquet reminds us of the shades you'd find in someone's flourishing garden in the Hamptons. What you see in the picture is the standard arrangement, but you could go up in scale and price, plus add in balloons and chocolate.

Double The Aurora

If you just balked at the price of these flowers, don't worry: they have a slightly cheaper bouquet with less flowers for $90. That said, we think your mom deserves the best on this day so we'd go for the fuller bunch. The peachy pink arrangement consists of roses, ranunculus, anemone, and eucalyptus leaves. After you choose the size, you can customize the arrangement into a vessel of your choice, ranging from a simple glass vase to an artsy gold option, and tack on additional items like a candle or candy.

Merci Beaucoup

Here's an idea: Instead of gifting your mom a one-off bouquet on May 12, give her a subscription to Bouqs's floral delivery service so that she can have fresh flowers year-round. You can set the times and dates for delivery, then forget about it—until she sends you that monthly text showing you what arrangement she got. The Merci Beaucoup option features a bunch of cream and peach roses, luscious carnations, alstroemeria, and lavender micro poms.

Pink Calla Lily

Your mom is an avid gardener, so why not give her another plant baby to take care of? This Calla lily has statuesque stalks with trumpet-shaped pink blooms that elegantly peer out. The plant comes in two sizes, small or large, so get the one you think your mom will like best. Before you purchase it though, make sure you check this is the best one for her lifestyle because this plant is not safe around pets or kids. It also prefers indoor temperatures of 70 degrees Fahrenheit, so if she likes it cold, the Calla lily may not be for her.

Yellow Faux Poppy Arrangement

On the opposite end of the spectrum, if your mom isn't keen on taking care of real flowers (she's a busy lady!), but does like them, gift her the most realistic buds from Afloral. The brand has several different options, though we're partial to the yellow poppy arrangement because the stems feel like ones you'd scavenge from your backyard and then plop into a vase. Oh, and the "water" you see in that vase? That's actually acrylic water, which can't be emptied out, so your mom can just unbox this beauty and place it wherever she wants without further fuss.

Cloud Sourced

Does anyone else look at hydrangeas and think of Ina Garten? They are one of her favorite flowers, after all. For the mom who loves to whip up recipes from Garten and loves hydrangeas, this bouquet is a no-brainer to buy and send. She will receive eight stems of assorted hydrangea in a pleasing palette of pastel colors—you can ship them with a vase for an extra $10. Even though the flowers won't stay fresh eternally, the wonderful quality about hydrangea is that it will dry beautifully! Your mom can hang the bouquet upside down in a warm, low humidity spot for a couple of weeks and then enjoy the dried bouquet for months to come.

Hello Sunshine

Yellow is such a cheerful and energetic color, so if you know your mom could use some uplifting vibes, send this bouquet her way. It's composed of sunflowers, green roses, green viburnum, yellow snapdragons, and yellow button spray mums. Choose between regular, deluxe, or premium sends (flowers increase in quantity with each tier), then add on any extras like balloons or chocolate.

Flower Bouquet

The "Light of My Life Bouquet" name seems appropriate for any mom, who continues to be your biggest champion. The arrangement consists of pink lilies, orange roses, lavender cushion poms, hot pink carnations, and lush greens. A standard bouquet at Proflowers starts at $45, going up in price to $94.50 for a premium option. If you're a bit tight on budget this month, we suggest the middle option, deluxe, as you get a little more stems than the base pick.

Red Anthurium

Instead of sending the usual expected arrangement of stems, gift her a flamingo flower or better known as the Anthurium. The blooming houseplant features waxy leaves that circle the pointed spadix, which is home to the plant's tiny flowers. The Anthurium will require water every one to two weeks and prefers indirect light and extra humidity. It may need a little more TLC than most flowers, but the payoff—a bright pop of red—is worth it.

Deliciously Decadent Cherished Blooms & Drizzled Strawberries

We probably don't have to introduce you to 1-800-Flowers as this delivery service has been around for ages. What we will say is that if you need a nice arrangement recommendation without the hassle of browsing through the site, add this pretty in pink option to cart. The bouquet is composed of pink roses, white carnations, and pink and white Peruvian lilies (alstroemeria). For moms with a sweet tooth, they will love that the package comes with chocolate-covered strawberries too!

Beatrice

Roses come in thousands of varieties, so if you're looking for ones that aren't depicted on the front of every Hallmark card, go with David Austin's Darcey garden rose. It almost looks like a blooming carnation. We love the touches of egg yolk-yellow and orange in the middle surrounded by creamy-colored petals. Unfortunately the vase pictured isn't included, but we'd use this as an opportunity to find a unique one to send along to your mom versus the basic options that come with most arrangements.

Pink Peony Tulips

How gorgeous are these pink peony tulips? Their vibrant hot pink shade will bring a smile to anyone's face. This bouquet contains 25 stems and the option to add on extra bells and whistles. You can choose to plop these babies into a vase of your choice, plus add in fun items like a candle or even a video message, so your mom can hear your voice when she gets this delivery. It's perfect for those who live far away from their parents because this part makes them feel closer to you. Don't forget to give her an actual phone call though on Mother's Day.

Potted Faux White Orchid Arrangement

Orchids are notoriously hard to take care of, so why stress over that when you can have this realistic-looking faux option in your home? It measures 24-inches tall and 18-inches wide, and comes in a ceramic pot that'll blend seamlessly with any home's interior decor. Best of all, unlike a lot of the bouquets that are gorgeous and cost over $100, this one of a similar price will last forever—just give it a light and gentle wipe down when the leaves/petals get dusty.

Le Mini "Mom" Gift Set

There's nothing sweeter than roses that spell out "mom." Even better, Venus et Fleur is known for its long-lasting flowers that can stay fresh for a year or more. This arrangement may have a hefty price tag, but it's worth it given how much she will enjoy it. If you're worried about any chemical smells coming from these preserved flowers, rest assured that there is no strong or weird odors.

Sweet Citrus Bouquet

Orange roses and lilies pack a personality punch amid white carnations and baby's breath. This bouquet is offered from small to extra large, so depending on your budget, choose the one that fits the bill best. The stems will come arranged in a clear glass cylinder vase, so you don't have to worry about finding a proper vessel to house the flowers.

Fresh Flowers on Demand

DoorDash isn't just for food delivery. You can order flowers from florists near you for Mother's Day. Now that's convenience! If you're always cutting it close, we highly recommend this option. Be sure to check out our list of last-minute Mother's Day gifts on Amazon too.

The Verona Bouquet

We love the balance between light and dark colors in this bouquet. It contains roses, hypericum berries, Cocculus foliage. and emerald ruscus. If the floral varieties are not familiar to you, that's okay because as long as you think the arrangement is beautiful enough for your mom, that's all that matters. If you're going with the standard bouquet size, we suggest adding in a candle or sweets to round out the package.

White Lily Bouquet

An all-white and green bouquet may seem subtle compared with the other colorful options on this list, but trust us: these lilies bring the drama. They fan out in a welcoming, open shape and when placed in a blue vase, become a worthy centerpiece for her dining room table or entryway console. There are a few different size options to choose from, so you can find the perfect match for your wallet.

Wild About U Bouquet

The "Wild About U" bouquet lives up to its name because it contains the most unexpected arrangement of wild-looking flowers. For that unexpected twist, she can expect some alstroemeria, solidago, and aster stems accented with succulents. The bouquet is also on sale right now, so you can get the biggest size for $28 off.

Small Round Arrangement

If the "mom" Venus Et Fleur arrangement felt a little too cheesy, go for the brand's more traditional group of roses. They come in this adorable little hat box, which she can display on her bookshelf or nightstand year-round. Don't love the color pink? Opt for the roses in dusty lavender, papaya, or even gold as the website offers up the flowers in a host of colors.

Fiesta Bouquet

These carnations, Gerbera daisies, and roses command attention in a way that sweet pastels just can't match. If this describes your mother's bold personality to the T, then gift her the bouquet. The vibrant shades will not only make her day feel a bit brighter and livelier, but also add a cheerful pop to whatever room she decides to place the vase in.
