Our in-depth article will make selecting the correct blooms as joyful as that baby she will introduce you to.

Choosing Flowers for Mom & Baby

Why Not Try Birth Flowers?

It’s a celebration of life. A great way to show support is by celebrating the newborn as well as our new mother. One of the best ways to do this is to select flowers based on the month her new edition enters the world. Each month of the year has a corresponding flower. March for example is daffodils and April daisies and sweet peas. Consult a full list of birth flowers for more information on their meanings and pairings. Tip: Find out your mother-to-be’s birth month as well. With a little imagination and attention to detail you can create a personalized bouquet that shows you understand the eternal connection between mother and her child.

Flowers for All Genders

You may have been in attendance during their gender reveal party. You might be waiting for the birth just like the parents. But no matter who is joining the family in that hospital room, we have the flowers to show your support. Traditional flowers for baby boys lean toward the color blue. Hygengias make for a wonderful addition to an arrangement. Also, they can be seeded in the backyard. Their brilliant blue blooms represent peace, love and tranquility. For baby girls, try pink roses. Always a staple, pink roses represent love, gentleness and appreciation. They also pair nicely with babies breath in a bouquet. If roses seem too common we suggest pink chrysanthemums or carnations. If the new baby’s gender is unknown or neutral there are plenty of options to brighten their new nursery. Sunflowers are associated with joy and rebirth. They also make a terrific centerpiece in a home while remaining gender neutral.

Flowers for her Supporters

Nurses, doctors, and grandparents are just a few that come to mind. Sometimes giving a gift to them shows support for mothers as well. For hospital staff, try small succulents. These hearty plants resemble our health care heroes: resilient, strong and crucial to their environment. Also, they are small and decorate a home or work office perfectly. Grandparents tend to flock around the maternity ward. If you’re looking to say thank you to these proud smiling faces, the official flowers of mommas and poppas are lilies. All varieties pair well but stargazers make a nice touch.
