Preserved roses in blush, champagne, or deep rose are the most popular Mother's Day choice — emotionally resonant, available in a wide colour range, and suited to any relationship from daughter to son to grandchild. The Mirror Rose Duo and Amélie arrangement are consistent bestsellers for this occasion.

Preserved peonies are the right choice for a mother who finds roses expected. Preserved hydrangeas suit a mother who loves bold, full arrangements. For a significant or milestone Mother's Day, a mixed vase arrangement combining all three flowers makes the strongest impression.

Nordblooms preserved flowers last 1 to 3 years in a normal indoor environment. Keep them out of direct sunlight and do not water them. Most arrangements look excellent for 18 to 24 months. Your Mother's Day gift will still be in her home next Mother's Day — and in most cases the year after that as well.

Compare this to fresh Mother's Day flowers, which last 7 to 14 days at best. The gift that keeps reminding her of you is the one that stays.

Yes. Nordblooms offers same-day delivery across all five New York City boroughs from our SoHo studio at 46 Howard Street. Order by the daily cutoff and the arrangement arrives the same day, hand-delivered from the studio. Same-day pickup at 46 Howard Street is also available.

For Mother's Day specifically, order by May 9 to guarantee delivery on the day. See the same-day NYC delivery collection for available arrangements and current cutoff times.

Yes. Nordblooms ships preserved arrangements nationwide to all 50 states. Because preserved flowers need no water and no refrigeration, they travel far better than fresh flowers and arrive looking exactly as they left the studio. Standard and express shipping options are available at checkout.

For Mother's Day nationwide delivery, order at least 3 to 5 days before May 10 to allow sufficient transit time. Express options are available for last-minute ordering.

100% real. Every Nordblooms arrangement uses real roses, hydrangeas, or peonies cut at peak bloom and treated with a plant-based glycerin preservation process. The petals are real petals — soft, naturally textured, and identical to the flower at its best. Not silk, not foam, not artificial in any sense.

If you or she wants to confirm this before purchasing, visit our SoHo studio at 46 Howard Street. Walk-ins are welcome every day — you can touch the petals and see the quality in person.

Blush and champagne are the most universally right choices for Mother's Day — warm, elegant, and flattering in any interior. Soft peach suits a mother with a warm, organic home aesthetic. Deep rose or cadmium pink suits a more confident, colourful personality. Lavender suits someone with a refined, unconventional taste.

The most useful question to ask: what colours does she have in her home? Match the gift to her space, not to what seems generically appropriate.

Yes. Nordblooms takes custom orders for specific colour combinations, vessel choices, sizes, and styles. Visit the custom order page to describe your brief or contact us at hello@nordblooms.com. For Mother's Day custom orders, allow enough lead time before May 10.

A handwritten note can be added to any order at checkout — a personal card alongside a preserved arrangement that lasts years is a combination that holds emotional weight long after the day itself.

None. Keep out of direct sunlight and do not water them — that is the complete requirement for 1 to 3 years of consistent quality. No trimming, no water changes, no specialist products, no weekly attention of any kind.

This is part of what makes preserved flowers a genuinely thoughtful Mother's Day gift. She receives years of beauty with nothing asked of her in return.
