Don't just give random flowers to your mom as a Mother's Day gift. Why don't you make things more special and meaningful by giving her artificial flowers with apt symbolism?

Want to give flowers to your mom for Mother's Day? Well, that's not surprising since this is practically tradition, isn't it, much like how one would want to give their lovers bouquets of red roses for Valentine's Day?

Absolutely nothing wrong with that whatsoever. But why should you consider giving your mom artificial or fake flowers as opposed to real and fresh flowers? And what kinds of flowers can you give to your mom that are actually appropriate and fitting for the holiday in question?

Artificial vs Real Flowers

So, what's wrong with giving real and fresh flowers?

Nothing, really. It's your choice, after all. 

But what reason do you have for considering getting artificial flowers instead?

The main reason is the difference between these two. 

Real flowers die.

They wither and wilt and fade and die sooner or later. They won't last. 

But artificial flowers will because they're not real.

Silk Peonies & Amaryllis

These look real, right? Well, they're actually fake flowers. Who would have thought?

Several days after Mother's Day, these fake flowers will still be around and won't be fading or wilting or withering or dying any time soon. These artificial flowers are also pretty low maintenance since one does need to water them or take care of them.

In fact, you're pretty much settled already after just putting these flowers in a vase and displaying them somewhere in your house.

Furthermore, there are some fake flowers that can look as beautiful as real flowers.

And some have been made so exceptionally well that they might even be mistaken to be fresh and real flowers even though they're really not.

In short, if you want to give a present that lasts for quite a while, then opt for artificial flowers instead of going for real ones.

That is, unless your mother is a gardener and would like some real flowers for her garden.

If that's the case, then it's definitely a good idea to get her some real flowers.

Artificial Flowers

So, you've decided to give your mom some artificial flowers for the aforementioned holiday. Awesome. Now what?

The next step is trying to determine exactly what kind of fake flower you should get. 

Do you wonder if this even matters? Why can't you just give some random fake flower to your mom?

Well, there's nothing wrong with that.

Once again, it's your choice.

But, why go with random flowers when you can put a bit more meaning to your gift and make it even just a bit more special for your mother?

This is another way of showing just how much you love and care about your mom because you took the time and effort to get her special flowers instead of just grabbing the nearest random ones that you can find without even thinking about it.

There are many different kinds of flowers out there and each of them have different meanings and symbolism associated with them.

Potted Orchids

Don't just give your mom random flowers even if they might look very nice and pretty. Isn't it better to give flowers that have meanings and symbolism that can be associated with Mother's Day?

This is a very apt message to give to your mom if, for one reason or another, you won't be able to spend Mother's Day with her. Just remind her that, even if you can't be there with her right now, it doesn't mean that you've forgotten her and it doesn't mean that you love her any less.
