In Australia, Mother's Day 2024 falls on the 12th of May, the second Sunday of the month, which is a tradition shared with many other countries around the world. This special day is a time to honour and express gratitude to mothers and mother figures for their unwavering love, sacrifice, and guidance.

The origins of Mother's Day can be traced back to ancient festivals dedicated to mother goddesses, but the modern version of the holiday began in the early 20th century in the United States. It was Anna Jarvis who campaigned for the establishment of a national Mother's Day to honour mothers and motherhood. Following its adoption in the U.S., the concept of Mother's Day spread globally, with each country adding its traditions and interpretations to the celebration.

The tradition of celebrating Mother's Day in Australia began to take root in the early 1920s. It was Janet Heyden, a resident of Leichhardt, who started a campaign to collect gifts for lonely and forgotten mothers in Newington Hospital. The idea quickly gained popularity, evolving into the widespread celebration of Mother's Day as we know it today.

Mother's Day is the perfect opportunity to show your love and appreciation in a variety of ways. Here are some event ideas to make this Mother's Day unforgettable:

• Brunch or Breakfast in Bed: Start the day by treating your mother to a delicious brunch at her favourite restaurant or surprise her with breakfast in bed. It's a heartfelt way to begin the celebrations and make her feel cherished.
• Family Get-Togethers: Organise a family gathering to celebrate the day. Whether it's a picnic in the park, a backyard barbecue, or a cosy dinner at home, bringing the family together is a beautiful way to make Mother’s Day truly memorable.
• Spa Day or Relaxation Treat: Book a spa day for your mum or create a DIY spa experience at home. It's a thoughtful way to give her some much-needed relaxation and pampering.
• Personalised Gifts & Flowers: Personalised gifts, along with her favourite blooms in one of our exquisite arrangements, can make the day extra special. Whether it's a custom piece of jewellery, a photo album of cherished memories, or a hand-written letter, personalised gifts speak volumes.
• Creative Workshops or Classes: Enrol together in a creative workshop or class, such as pottery, painting, or cooking. It's a unique way to spend quality time together and learn something new. Flower arranging is a creative way of spending time with your mum or mother figure, which is why our School of Floristry hosts floral workshops to allow you to both express your creativity and explore in a fun and casual learning environment.

Mother's Day is more than just a day on the calendar; it's a heartfelt celebration of the bond between mothers and their children. By understanding its history and embracing thoughtful event ideas, you can create a memorable and meaningful day for the special woman in your life.
