In the UAE, where cultures from around the globe come together, International Mother’s Day is a special opportunity to celebrate moms from all walks of life. Whether you're honouring your own mother, a mother figure, or the mother of your children, flowers remain one of the most thoughtful and beautiful gifts you can give.
From timeless roses to elegant orchids, this guide will help you choose the perfect blooms—and make her feel truly appreciated this International Mother’s Day.
Why International Mother's Day Matters in the UAE
While UAE Mother’s Day is celebrated in March, International Mother’s Day—typically observed on the second Sunday in May—is equally cherished by many of the country’s diverse residents. With people from all over the world calling the UAE home, May becomes another meaningful occasion to show appreciation for the women who raised us, nurtured us, and continue to inspire us every day.
For many, this second celebration is an opportunity to honour moms living abroad, or to surprise them again with another heartfelt gesture. It’s not about the date on the calendar—it’s about recognising motherhood in all its forms and across all cultures.
Why Flowers Are the Perfect Gift for Every Mom
Flowers speak a universal language of love, making them a meaningful gift for moms of every age, style, and personality. Whether your mom is the sentimental type, the chic minimalist, or the life-of-the-party kind, there’s a flower arrangement that reflects her perfectly.
Fresh blooms bring beauty and joy into the home, but they also carry emotional meaning—each flower type and colour says something unique. Plus, flowers are incredibly versatile. They're ideal for new moms, grandmothers, mothers-in-law, and even the mother figures who may not be related by blood but have been there every step of the way.
With flowers, it's not just the gesture that matters—it’s the thoughtfulness behind choosing something that feels just right.
