mom’s day gift ideas: last-minute flowers
Ok, you procrastinators (you know who you are): You have about 48 hours to order some flowers for Mom. Wait any longer and chances are they won’t make it there in time for Mother’s Day this Sunday. Luckily, you’re among like-minded friends who have picked out five lush bouquets that she’s sure to love. In fact, if you’re a mom yourself, you may want to send the link to your family as a not-so-subtle hint. For starters, designer Todd Oldham continues to bring his vibrant, whimiscal style to the masses, teaming up with FTD florists to create a line of bouquets that are truly unique. Who couldn’t smile after receiving the Mixed up Daisies (above)? The $50 bouquet comes in a stainless steel mixing bowl that she can put to good use afterwards.

Jane Carroll is about as close to a star florist as there is, with a Hollywood resume that includes appearances on all of mom’s favorite shows, from Oprah to The View. Her arrangements are pricey, but definitely deliver a wow factor. We like her woven flower basket, $125, which is packed with exotic and bright flowers, in a hand made woven basket, perfect to stash small treasures later.
You can never go wrong with Martha’s Flowers and its simple fresh buds. Try the Daybreak Gerbera Bouquet; to get the look in this picture, order 30 stems in four separate shades, $50, in a frosted glass vase, $8, sold separately.
Admittedly, Beth J’s superstar toddler makes us predisposed to LOVE irises, but it’s not the name alone that we like about this Delux Iris Thanks Mom Vase from Pro Flowers. Order with the upgraded vase, for a total of $60.
And last but not least, this Fragrant Hyacinth Bouquet from Calyx and Corolla will brighten up the whole house with its sweet aroma. The ridged white vase is a keeper, too. $78 for this look.
