Mother’s Day flowers delivered across Downtown Vancouver
Mother’s Day is one of the most meaningful flower-giving days of the year, and one of our busiest. VanCentral Florist is a small, women-owned florist in Downtown Vancouver. We hand-arrange every Mother’s Day order from fresh spring stems and deliver across Downtown Vancouver, the West End, Yaletown, Gastown, Chinatown, Strathcona, Fairview, Mount Pleasant, South Granville and Kitsilano. Same-day delivery is available when you order by 1:00 p.m., though we strongly recommend ordering ahead for Mother’s Day weekend.
Flowers moms love
- Peonies: lush, fragrant and romantic, a Mother’s Day favourite. Try a dozen peonies or the Peony Blossom Basket.
- Tulips: bright and cheerful, a true spring flower. See the Spring Vibe Tulips Bouquet.

- Hydrangeas: full and generous, lovely on a dining table. See the Hydrangeas Hand-Tied Bouquet.
- Orchids: elegant and long-lasting, a gift that stays beautiful for weeks. Explore our orchid collection.
The carnation: the original Mother’s Day flower
The carnation has been linked to Mother’s Day since the holiday began in the early 1900s. By tradition, pink or red carnations honour a mother who is living, while white carnations remember a mother who has passed. Many people still include carnations in their Mother’s Day bouquet for that reason.
For every mother in your life
Mother’s Day flowers are not only for mom. Grandmothers, mothers-in-law, stepmothers, aunts and friends who are new moms all appreciate being remembered. For a first Mother’s Day, a soft pastel arrangement like the Blush Garden Bouquet is a gentle way to celebrate. If Mother’s Day is a hard day because you have lost your mother, white flowers at home can be a quiet way to remember her.
Order early for Mother’s Day weekend
Mother’s Day falls on the second Sunday of May, and demand peaks in the days before. To make sure your first choice is available, place your order several days ahead and choose your delivery date at checkout. Same-day orders are accepted until 1:00 p.m., subject to availability.
Make it a Mother’s Day gift
Pair your flowers with macarons, Rogers’ chocolates or a greeting card. If your mom lives in a downtown condo, add the unit number and buzzer code in your order notes so the surprise arrives smoothly.
