The Softest Love Bouquet

Mother's Day Flowers for the Softest Kind of Love

There is a kind of love that never raises its voice. It shows up on a Tuesday with coffee and a clean tea towel. It remembers how you like your eggs. It waits up without being asked. The Softest Love Bouquet is a gift for that kind of love.

Hand-tied in our Cape Town studio, this gentle pastel bouquet gathers soft pink garden roses, creamy white Oriental lilies, powder blue delphinium, Queen Anne's lace, white gerberas, and hand-foraged seasonal greenery into a loose, garden-style arrangement. It looks the way a mother's love feels, quiet, generous, and impossible to mistake for anything else. Browse the full Mother's Day Flowers collection for more gentle options in this palette.

Send it to your mother on Mother's Day. Send it to your grandmother on a Thursday for no reason at all. Send it to the friend who had a baby last week, the sister who needs to feel seen, or the woman who has been gently holding everyone up for years. Same-day flower delivery in Cape Town and Johannesburg for orders placed before 12 pm. Nationwide gift boxes ship in 2 to 4 business days.

What is Inside

Each Softest Love Bouquet is hand-tied by our Cape Town florists using seasonal blooms chosen on the morning of delivery. Inside, you will find soft pink garden roses, creamy white Oriental lilies, powder blue delphinium, white gerbera daisies, delicate white chrysanthemums, and the lace-like drift of Queen Anne's lace, all gathered with foraged foliage and natural twine.

The bouquet arrives in water-soaked wrap and is ready to place straight into a vase. We do not use floral foam. A complimentary handwritten greeting card is included with every order. If you want to send more than flowers, pair it with our Lindt Lovers Gift Box at checkout.

Why the Softest Love Bouquet

We have been hand-tying flowers in Cape Town since 1999, and this bouquet is one of our most-gifted arrangements for the women who rarely ask for anything. The pastel palette suits almost any room, the scale is generous without being grand, and the soft colour story photographs beautifully for the thank-you message you will probably receive within the hour.

It is an honest choice for Mother's Day, a thoughtful choice for a birthday, and a quietly moving choice for a thank you, a new baby, or a just-because. If she is someone you love softly, this is the bouquet that says so. If you would like something with the same gentle feeling but a different shape, the Pretty Pastel Perfection Flower Arrangement and Soft Light & Gentle Things are two of our most-loved alternatives. For mothers who deserve a little pampering alongside the flowers, the Loving Nurture Gift Set is a lovely companion gift.

Frequently Asked Questions

What flowers are in the Softest Love Bouquet?

Soft pink garden roses, white Oriental lilies, powder blue delphinium, white gerbera daisies, white chrysanthemums, Queen Anne's lace, and seasonal foliage. Because we work with fresh market flowers, the exact varieties may vary slightly by day, but the pastel palette and soft garden shape stay consistent.

Is this a good bouquet for Mother's Day?

Yes, it is one of our most-gifted arrangements for Mother's Day. The soft pastel palette and gentle, generous shape suit mothers, grandmothers, and mother figures of every age. Order before 12 pm on Mother's Day for same-day delivery in Cape Town and Johannesburg, or order earlier in the week for nationwide gift box delivery.

When will the bouquet be delivered?

Order before 12 pm for same-day flower delivery in Cape Town and Johannesburg, Monday to Saturday. Orders placed after the 12 pm cut-off are delivered the next available business day. For suburbs and cities outside Cape Town and Johannesburg, we recommend our nationwide gift boxes, which ship within 2 to 4 business days.

How long will the flowers last?

With fresh water, a clean vase, and a cool spot out of direct sunlight, expect seven to ten days of enjoyment. Trim the stems at a diagonal every two days, change the water every second day, and remove any leaves sitting below the waterline. The lilies will open progressively over the first few days, so the bouquet gets fuller as the week goes on.

Fabulous Flowers and Gifts Fresh Flowers Care Instructions

Fresh Flowers

Find a Vase: Your lovely blooms need a drink! Put them in your favourite vase with fresh water as soon as possible.

Trim Those Stems: Keep those stems fresh by cutting them at an angle. This allows more water up the stem. Checking and trimming the stems every few days will keep them sound.

Gently Strip Leaves: Remove any excess leaves, especially from the part of the stem that will be submerged. This helps to avoid rot and bacteria, which can shorten your flowers' life span.

Remove Old Blooms: Drooping flowers release ethylene gas, which may accelerate the aging of other flowers. Strip off any dead or dying flowers to keep the rest of the bouquet looking bright and fresh.

Keep Them Cool: Place your flowers away from heat sources such as heaters, televisions, or ovens to retain the beauty of your flowers.

Clean Water: Always place your flowers in clean water. Refresh your vase with water daily or at least every second day. 

Gift Boxes

Storage Tips: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to keep contents in perfect condition.

Handling with Care: Handle this box gently so as not to damage the delicate items inside.

Freshening: If your gift includes foods or beverages, please refer to the individual product use-by and expiry dates and the informational materials regarding storage recommendations:

Plants

Watering: Ensure your plants are hydrated but avoid overwatering. Check the soil's moisture regularly and water it when the top inch feels dry.

Light: Place your plants in a spot where they receive the appropriate amount of light. Some prefer bright, indirect light, while others thrive in low-light conditions.

Feeding: Feed your plants with a balanced fertiliser every few weeks during the growing season to keep them healthy and vibrant.

Pruning: Regularly remove dead leaves and trim back overgrown branches to encourage new growth and maintain the plant's shape.

Humidity: Some plants thrive in high humidity. If needed, mist your plants occasionally or place a humidifier nearby to create a favourable environment.

Artificial Flowers and Plants

Dusting: Your artificial flowers and botanicals should be lightly dusted regularly with a soft cloth or feather duster.

Light Washing: For deeper cleaning, please use a cloth lightly dampened with water and a small amount of mild detergent. Gently wipe the leaves and petals.

Avoid Direct: Sunlight Do not place under direct sunlight in order to prevent colours from fading.

Fluff and Arrange: Just fluff up petals and leaves to remain fluffy. Set them in position as desired to look natural.

Personalize: Gift your flowers, Gift Boxes, and Artificial Flowers and Plants with the Care They Deserve; they will be a Source of Joy and Elegance for you. The charm of fresh flowers, the delight of a thoughtful gift box, and the endless beauty of an artificial plant—all special moments created by Fabulous Flowers and Gifts.

Please Note: Due to the seasonal nature of flowers and availability of specific items, the contents of our bouquets and gift boxes may vary throughout the year. We strive to substitute any unavailable items with products of equal or greater value, ensuring that every gift you receive is fresh, beautiful, and of the highest quality.
