Mother's Day Flowers in Nairobi

Flowers for the woman who gave you everything

In Kenya, Mother’s Day falls on the second Sunday of May. It is one of the busiest flower days of our year, second only to Valentine’s Day, as sons and daughters across Nairobi, in towns around the city and overseas send flowers to the mums, grandmothers, aunties and mother figures who raised them.

Because Mother’s Day falls on a Sunday, many families choose to deliver on the Saturday before, or first thing on Sunday morning. Whatever you choose, order early for the best choice and a confirmed delivery.

What mums love

• Pastel roses: soft pink, peach and white roses are the most popular Mother’s Day flowers.
• Lilies: elegant and fragrant, a favourite for mums who love a scented home.
• Mixed garden-style bouquets: roses, carnations and chrysanthemums in soft colours.
• Flower baskets and boxes: easy for mum to display without a vase.
• Carnations: the traditional Mother’s Day flower, long-lasting and cheerful.

Mother’s Day gift ideas

Many customers add a treat to make the day feel special:

• A cake for the family to share over Sunday lunch.
• Chocolates for mums with a sweet tooth.
• A fruit basket for a healthier gift.
• Wine for a relaxed evening.
• Scented candles and gift sets. See gift hampers.

Flowers for every kind of mum

• Your own mum: her favourite colours, a heartfelt card and something she can share with the family.
• Grandmothers: soft, elegant arrangements in whites and pastels, often with a fruit basket.
• Your wife or partner: from the children, with a card they help write.
• Mothers-in-law and aunties: a thoughtful bouquet goes a long way.
• New mums: for a first Mother’s Day, pastel flowers and a gift for the baby. See new baby flowers.
• Mums you are missing: for those remembering a mother who has passed, a white bouquet at home or at a memorial is a gentle tribute.

Making a day of it

Flowers are often just the start of a Mother’s Day celebration. Many Nairobi families plan a Sunday lunch at home or at a restaurant, and a table arrangement or a bouquet waiting at the venue makes the meal feel special. If you are hosting the family, a low centrepiece in mum’s favourite colours looks lovely on the table and can go home with her afterwards. We can also deliver to restaurants and hotels in Nairobi before you arrive; just tell us the venue, the booking name and the time. For a bigger family gathering, such as a surprise party for a milestone birthday that falls around Mother’s Day, see our event flowers and décor.

Helping mum’s flowers last

Share this with mum: trim the stems at an angle, use a clean vase with fresh water, change it every two days and keep the flowers out of direct sun. Baskets and boxes just need a little water in the foam each day.
