Mother’s Day

Mother’s Day menu photos for florists

Many Mother’s Day flowers are sent, not carried: the person ordering may never see your arrangement in person. The photo does all the selling. Soft, bright photos that feel like a gift at home tell them it will be lovely before they even read the price.

Know your date

US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand: Mother’s Day is the second Sunday of May.
UK and Ireland: Mothering Sunday is three weeks before Easter, in March or early April.
Photograph your menu three or four weeks ahead, so the photos are live when customers start looking.

What to photograph

Garden-style vase arrangements in pinks, peaches and creams.
Gift boxes and hatboxes, which look ready to give.
A wrapped hand-tied bouquet for customers who collect in person.
Each size you sell, each with its own photo, so customers know exactly what they’re sending.

Rooms that feel like a gift at home

Choose light, warm rooms: a sunny kitchen, a spring garden table, a calm living room. A gift-box room arranges your flowers in the room’s own box on purpose, and says so before you choose it.
