Mother's day flowers

Mother’s Day for 2019 will fall on the 31stMarch, which means you don’t have all that long left to decide on a Mother’s Day gift idea. From a box of chocolates to a new pair of slippers, have your Mother’s Day present ideas started to run a little bland? Need a new fresh idea that she is guaranteed to love? Don’t worry, Eternal Petals has just the answer to get you well and truly into the good books.   Our one-year roses are a beautiful flower alternative gift that means your mum can keep her flowers for a whole year. If your mum loves roses but hates to have to throw them away after a week or so, our infinity roses are the perfect answer.   Need a little more convincing on why eternal roses are the perfect Mother’s Day gift? Here are just a few.   Get Something That Really Lasts   Everyone loves a fresh bouquet of flowers as a gift but the reality is they last for such a short amount of time. When it comes to eternal roses in a box, they really do last for a whole year without any water or maintenance whatsoever.   Already perfectly bloomed, our eternal roses have been specially treated to stay put for a whole year, which means your gift just goes on and on without the need for any assistance or water, making them the easiest and most beautiful flowers she will ever have received.   It’s the Perfect Personalised Gift   A personalised gift really shows the recipient that you know them well and offers a thoughtful surprise that they’ll treasure. So, when it comes to choosing infinity roses for Mother’s Day, you can personalise this gift to make it just a touch more special.   Choose from round boxes, white velvet boxes or black velvet or even opt for a stunning marble effect box for a chic, contemporary look. Once you’ve selected which box she’ll like, have a think about her favourite colours or the hues that will work perfectly in her favourite room in the house. Then you can head to our personalisation page where you can choose exactly which coloured roses you want to include in the box and even which order they’ll come in, leaving a personalised gift card with your own Mother’s Day message.   It’s Mother’s Day and She Deserves It   It’s a day of the year that you can really treat your mum and show her how much you appreciate her and everything she does. So, why not go all out and gift her something that is sure to take her breath away.     If you’ve been in a slight panic on the approach to this year’s Mother’s Day, you can now relax because the job is done. Choose her favourite colour or a beautiful blend of several and gift her a stunning display of one-year roses that she is sure to adore for the rest of the year. We’d love to see you gifting them to her this Mother’s Day, so remember to snap a picture and tag us on our Instagram page.

Follow our top tips on how to choose roses for your friend on Friendship Day.   Traditional Yellow for Friendship Wondering what the traditional colour of roses is to symbolise friendship? It’s perfect for this time of year which makes it a great choice for International Friendship Day. Yellow. Yellow roses are both a symbol of friendship and celebration which makes them ideal for this special day. Plus, they’re a bright, beautiful and joyful way to brighten up your best friend’s home. Our bumblebee yellow roses do just the trick.   Choose Their Favourite Colour If yellow isn’t for them, don’t worry. With our huge selection of hues, you can simply choose their favourite colour and send them a stunning box of long-lasting roses in their go-to palette.

Maybe they’re into bright statement colours or maybe they like to keep things simple. Either way, you can choose a bold colour or a classic neutral that they’ll love to enjoy for the next whole year!   Classic Pink Instead of Romantic Red While classic red roses might seem too romantic to send to a friend, pink roses are another beautiful option. Plus, with the selection we have created at Eternal Petals, there’s truly a pink shade perfect for everyone. Whether she loves soft pastel pink, smouldering bright hot pink or something more in the middle, if your bestie loves pink, this is your perfect choice.   Opt for Bespoke with a Mixture of Colours Can’t decide which colour to go for your best friend? We know it’s difficult to choose. So, that’s why we created our bespoke colour mix boxes of roses. Instead of choosing just one hue, you can now mix and match to create your own box or choose one of our pre-mixed colour boxes of your choice.    Show your best friends how much you love them this year by acknowledging International Day of Friendship on the 20th July. Choose your long-lasting roses in advance at Eternal Petals and gift her beautiful roses that will last until next summer!

Flowers for Spring

Is it just us or when Spring Bank Holiday is around the corner, it really starts to get us in the mood for summer? On May 25th, we’ll have Spring Bank Hol this year and let’s be honest, it’s going to be one to remember. But not for the reasons we might have expected. This year, it seems we’ll be spending Spring Bank Holiday indoors. Or at least in the nearby park with only our households. So, what can we do to make Spring Bank Holiday feel a little special this year?   Brighten Up with Flowers   Obviously, at Eternal Petals, we’re all about flowers. Whatever the occasion, whatever the event or holiday, flowers are the answer. And Spring Bank Holiday is no different this year. So, one thing we’ll be doing to brighten up our homes for the spring holiday is to add some vibrancy to our rooms with our long-lasting roses. Instead of opting for subtle white or natural green, this holiday, we’re all about the colour. We’re thinking bold flashes of on-trend lilac roses for the most Instagram-worthy aesthetic, pops of beautiful brightening orange roses or even celebratory splashes of sunshine yellow. Whether you’re brightening up your own home for the Spring holiday or sending flowers to a friend or loved one to make them smile, opt for long-lasting roses that promise to last a whole year. Much longer than our current situation.   Make Plans   So, we might not be able to plan a big party or a day out with friends like we usually would for Spring Bank Holiday. But that doesn’t mean we can’t make plans and make the day special. If you’re living with a group, why not plan a picnic or BBQ in the garden and set a cute spring table to really make an afternoon of it? If you’re isolating alone, why not set up a Zoom afternoon? Invite your group of friends in and each have your own private picnic on camera. Distanced but together.   Spring Clean If there’s ever a good excuse to do a full spring clean of the house, then it’s got to be in time for Spring Bank Holiday! Imagine a top to bottom fresh and clean home just in time for your Spring day off. Use the upcoming bank holiday as a goalpost and inspiration to get your house in tip-top shape. Just make sure it’s done and dusted in time for the holiday so that you can take the day off and enjoy the benefits of your work. This will likely be the only Spring Bank Holiday that we ever spend in lockdown. So, instead of seeing it as a negative that we can’t head out or meet up with friends and family, let’s stay positive and see it as a memorable, once in this lifetime experience. One that we’re sure to be talking about for years to come.   Brighten up your home this May with some Spring Bank Holiday flowers that promise to get you in the mood for the summer.
