May in Toronto is always a joyful time of year, when we can pack away our hygge supplies until next winter and throw open our windows for the duration of the warmer months. It’s also when the colourful blooms that have laid dormant for the long winter grace our lawns and gardens, making for a festive explosion of colour. But the outdoors isn’t the only place perfect for flowers given that Mother’s Day is fast approaching — the perfect time to give back to the mom who’s been your rock all year long. Let us here at Ital Florist create the perfect arrangement of flowers for your one-of-a-kind mother, something we’ve been masters at for decades here in the Toronto area. We promise to make it a Mother’s Day she’ll never forget.

The Healthy Snack Mom

One of the most important aspects of raising healthy children is making sure they eat a nutritious diet that’s both balanced and enjoyable. One small aspect of that is making sure that healthy snacks are always available, especially for growing bodies that need constant nourishment. That’s something the healthy snack mom is committed to, as she cares deeply for her family and wants to them to thrive at all times. So if you have this kind of mom, you no doubt want to give back to her on Mother’s Day. We suggest nourishing her soul with a creative, custom-arranged bouquet of flowers in full bloom. In this case peonies are a great option, given their long history as a medicinal plant with nutritional benefits.

The “Always-On-The-Go” Mom

Modern life has us busier than ever before, and that’s true for our moms more than anyone else. They have so many plates to spin, people to look after, and tasks to conquer that it’s sometimes a miracle she gets everything done — even she would admit this is true. That’s why we think it’s an excellent idea to reward her efforts this Mother’s Day with an alluring arrangement of radiant anemones. Colloquially known as windflowers, anemones honour the always-on-the-go mom; her movement is like a steady breeze, persistent but calming, bringing peace and order to those around her. We think that’s the perfect gift for such a spirit.

The Trendy Mom

Does your mom always seem to be ahead of the curve when it comes to fashion, home decor, and beauty trends? If she’s a master of social media, then you know why she’s always on top of what’s new and noteworthy. That’s why this Mother’s Day, surprise her with a floral arrangement that’s just as stylish as she is. Our top pick? A gorgeous arrangement of magenta protea, the perfect homage to Pantone’s 2023 colour of the year. With these blooms, your trendy mom can showcase her impeccable taste on social media while also enjoying a timeless gift that will never go out of style.

The “Say Cheese” Mom

You never know when a memorable moment is about to occur that you’ll want to remember for the rest of your life. This is a philosophy that the “say cheese” mom lives by, as she’s always quick to grab a snap, even when you least expect it — and somehow they always turn out great, thanks to her keen eye and discerning talent with the camera. Show her how much this means to you on Mother’s Day by picking up a sophisticated floral arrangement that will truly dazzle her. We recommend making roses the focal point of the “say cheese” mom’s bouquet as it’s a timeless blossom that’s been in photos more than any other flower out there — quite a distinction!

The Pet Mom

Whether you’re a dog mom, a cat guardian, or happen to prefer the companionship of reptiles, you’re worthy of recognition on Mother’s Day just like all of the other moms out there. After all, you love unconditionally, spoil your pet with the best food and accommodations, and let’s be real, you allow them on the bed — well, most of the time. We salute you, and so should those who have a special pet mom in their lives. The best way to do this is with a statement bouquet of flowers that honours the pet mom’s commitment to her furry — or scaly — one. To be on the safe side we recommend making gerbera daisies the star of the show, a colourful option that won’t harm animals if they get into the bouquet on accident.

Mother’s Day is 100% the holiday that matters the most to your mother, even if she acts like it isn’t. So trust the seasoned flower pros here at Ital Florist in Toronto, Ontario, to fashion the perfect array of blooms for your one-of-a-kind mother. We promise she’ll be delighted by the thoughtful and sophisticated flowers you help make a reality for her.
