Silk flowers for Mother’s Day are Gifts that Keep on Giving

Here’s a little bit of advice this Mother’s Day: Don’t buy your mom fresh flowers. Yes, of course she loves receiving a bouquet or arrangement, and surveys indicate they’re still a favorite gift, but they’re dead within a week. In lieu of (real) flowers, please send silk flowers to honor you mother this year!We have some lovely silk flower suggestions to inspire you as you begin your quest to find the perfect ever-lasting blooms for mom. They come in all sorts of arrangements, so we’ve provided a sampling of each type to give you a well-rounded idea of the options.Moms love to show off gifts from their children. Whether it was the scribbly mess you made during art class in kindergarten, or the macramé plant holder you made for her in middle school; she beamed brightly whenever she had cause to explain to friends that you made it for her for Mother’s Day. So, do mom a favor and get her a floral creation everyone will see, like a door wreath.These wreathes with purple flowers (lavender and hydrangeas) are perfect for May.Acrylic arrangements are very beautiful, and a lot of fun.
