Whether it be your actual mum, or maybe a father, grandparent, aunty, uncle, friend or some other, celebrate the motherly figure in your life this Sunday with one of these small businesses who are saying goodbye to overpriced florist fees and hello to affordable, fresh daily blooms.

Go on, take your pick of the bunch!

SYDNEY


Posy Supply Co.

When former wedding stylist and interior designer, Louise Reeves, saw a gap in the market for affordable flower delivery, Posy Supply Co was formed with the intention of rewriting the rules of the game. And rewrite the rules they did. Since 2015, the company has been delivering big with little bunches of love all across Sydney for only $30. Once again they are forgetting all the rules and will be delivering flowers on a Sunday (!) just for mum. They’ve put together three stunning options; a Mother’s Day Bouquet ($49), a Luxe Bouquet ($99), or a Potted Phalaenopsis Orchid in a custom Brass Planter ($54). With the added option of including a Posy Supply Co. Soy Wax Candle ($35) to any order, the team have guaranteed big love for mums across Sydney, without the hassle.

Posy Supply Co. is delivering on Mother’s Day. Pre-order now until Saturday 12th May, or until sold out.

Little Flowers

Every day the team at Little Flowers drags themselves out of bed at an ungodly hour to gather the best blooms they can find, so you don’t have to. Day in, day out, their ethos of following the seasons and their instincts results in the cutest lil posy for you to send for just $30, including same-day delivery. The hand-curated posy of the day is wrapped in high-grade hessian (only the best for mum), secured with natural twine and finished with an environmentally-friendly personalised tag! Choose between a bunch of Little Flowers ($30) or Bigger Little Flowers ($55) for more than twice the flowers, but not twice the price – because spoiling mum shouldn’t cost an arm and a leg! Being one of the busiest periods, they traditionally sell out very early on the Friday before Mothers Day and often the Monday after as well, so get your orders in ASAP!

Little Flowers delivers Monday-Friday. With no set cutoff, orders can be made anytime until sold out.

The Daily Bunch

Dismayed by the outrageous prices Sydney-siders have been subject to in the past just to send flowers that fade quickly, The Daily Bunch came up with a simple solution. Heading to the markets each morning to source the best flowers, the team create one unique design daily and upload a photo to their website and social media pages to be ordered and delivered that day. With this process you can be sure each flower, leaf and bud in every bunch was picked from the wholesale market the very same morning. No cool rooms, no fuss, just beautiful, fresh flowers delivered to your door. This Mother’s Day they are offering ‘Sweet Sorbet’ themed bouquets (think: mixed seasonal blooms in pretty pastel tones) in either medium ($55) or large ($75), including special Sunday delivery just for mum!

The Daily Bunch is delivering on Mother’s Day. Pre-order now until 5pm Friday 11th May, or until sold out.
