Your Guide to Creating the Ultimate Mother’s Day Bloom Basket

Flowers for today, a jelly bag for everyday adventures. A Bloom Basket pairs a fresh bouquet with a bag Mum can keep, making a classic Mother’s Day gift feel a little more personal.

You don’t need florist-level skills to put one together. Start with her favourites and follow these four simple steps.

1. Pick your colour scheme

Take inspiration from Mum’s favourite shade. Match your basket and blooms for a coordinated look, or pair a neutral bag with bright flowers for a cheerful contrast.

Our jelly baskets come in a range of gorgeous shades, with new colours on the horizon. Choose one she’ll enjoy using long after Mother’s Day.

2. Choose your blooms

Tulips, daffodils and hyacinths bring a lovely spring feel, but her favourite flowers are always a good place to start. Add a little foliage for texture, or keep it simple with a single variety.

A florist can help you choose stems that work together and advise on care. Keep the bouquet wrapped for gifting, then transfer the flowers to a vase so they can be enjoyed at home.

3. Find the right jelly bag

Choose a shape that suits your bouquet and a style Mum will love afterwards.

Retro Baskets have a classic nostalgic design and come in three sizes. They’re a lovely choice for smaller bouquets or shorter stems.

The roomy Betty Basket brings vintage market-basket charm to a larger arrangement.

The Atomic Tote gives taller stems and foliage room to shine, with a little mid-century character.

For a medium-sized bouquet, try the Rosie Basket. Its distinctive handle adds a modern twist to the jelly look.

4. Make it hers

Tie a ribbon around the handle and add a handwritten tag. A favourite pin or an Itty Bitty Bag Charm makes a playful extra, but a few words from you can be the best finishing touch.
