Each year, we celebrate our moms on the second Sunday of May. And there’s a reason flowers are the quintessential way to honor mothers around the world. For millennia, motherhood has been associated with springtime, a season of life, fertility, and growth. Fresh and fragrant flowers carry symbolic significance for their purity and beauty as a timeless embodiment of the miracle of Mother Nature.
And moms absolutely love them.
Teleflora has been connecting customers with the country’s premier florists for more than 81 years — first by telegraph, then by phone, and eventually by internet. With a network of over 30,000 local florists, the world’s largest flower delivery service guarantees arrangements that are handmade with the freshest flowers and plants available, with same-day delivery available on almost every order. And by continually innovating and investing in the most modern technology, Teleflora has made ordering high-quality bouquets and floral gifts as fast, simple, and easy as it gets — with absolutely zero compromise on quality.
The personal touch
They call it the Teleflora Difference. While other online flower companies pre-package their flowers in nondescript cardboard boxes, which are loaded onto trucks and often arrive damaged or dehydrated, Teleflora relies on the personal touch — and creative experience — of your trusted neighborhood florist. All their flowers are 100% hand-arranged and 100% hand-delivered.
“We know that a truly exceptional gift of flowers relies on the expertise of a professional florist,” the company says. “All of our floral arrangements are artistically arranged by a local florist, and each gift is personally delivered in a vase to ensure that it arrives in premium condition.”
Teleflora also pioneered the concept of delivering flowers in collectible vases that stand on their own as unique gifts long after the blooms are gone. The exclusive, limited-edition keepsakes are custom-made by designers and artists and only available from Teleflora florists. Just look for the Flowers in a Gift icon and your giftee will receive not only flowers but also gorgeous, high-quality containers they’ll treasure for years, including polished gem cylinders, chic mid-century modern ceramic planters, mosaic glass vases, stylish stoneware pitchers, mercury glass bowls, and even ceramic mugs they can use for their morning coffee.
Find mom the perfect gift
Don’t sweat it. Teleflora has done all the hard work for you. It’s easy to make it a Mother’s Day she’ll remember with their deep selection of Mother’s Day flower options, including a section devoted exclusively to Mother’s Day roses. Choose from bestsellers like the Rose Glam Bouquet, which arrives bursting with pink roses and white lilies in a sparkling amethyst cut-glass vase, or the Playful Pitcher Bouquet, which comes pretty-in-pink with roses in a glazed, food-safe ceramic pitcher accented with a whimsical dragonfly.
Set mom’s heart twirling with the Dancing Beauty Bouquet, which comes with luxurious roses, lilies, alstroemeria, and chrysanthemums ensconced in a European glass vase with a shimmering metallic finish. Or go for the Sweet Hummingbird bouquet, a picture-perfect mini garden of elegant roses arranged in a vintage-inspired glass cube.
For a warm, rich statement of bold color, try the How Sweet It Is bouquet, which dazzles with lush orange roses, hot pink Matsumoto asters, and hot pink carnations. Or for a more classic pastel palette, the exquisite Arrive In Style stuns with roses, lilies, white alstroemeria, and white cushion spray chrysanthemums in a refined ginger vase.
For more prolonged pleasures, Teleflora also offers a wonderful variety of Mother’s Day plants, including the Glorious Gratitude Orchid, presented with river rocks and moss, and the Simply Elegant Spathiphyllum, a glossy and graceful green-leafed potted plant with lovely white flowers.
Gifts for everyone else, too
Teleflora has mothers covered, but they also offer gift-giving ideas for all occasions, including popular categories like get well, anniversaries, housewarming, love and romance, and corporate gifting.
Their birthday flowers are always a big hit, too. Celebrate the recipient’s special day in style with the Birthday Bash Bouquet, an explosion of hot pink roses, bright yellow lilies, and orange alstroemeria in a raspberry tapered vase with a special birthday balloon attached. Or surprise them with Teleflora’s Birthday Sparkle Bouquet, a luxe cluster of bright orange roses, fuchsia stock, and pink carnations that come in a shimmering metallic cube with intricate cutouts that doubles as a candleholder.
At Teleflora, the giving doesn’t stop at the flowers. In addition to a standing 20% off discount for students, the company is a proud supporter of the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. And for the past 22 years, Teleflora’s annual Make Someone Smile Week has delivered over 40,000 Be Happy bouquets to hospital patients, children in foster care, and nursing home residents in one of the largest charitable outreach efforts in the floral industry.
When you send a gift from Teleflora, it arrives with a personalized gift card with a message of your choosing. And because they’ve thought of everything, if you need some help putting your thoughts into words, you can choose from a variety of occasion-specific messages in a pulldown menu at checkout. And to make your flower purchase even easier, you can also select Amazon Pay as your payment method — and skip right past the billing forms for a fast and seamless shopping experience.
