Why Sending Flowers for Mother’s Day Matters, Especially from Abroad
There’s something especially meaningful about sending flowers when you’re far from home, and Mother’s Day is one of those moments that deserves more than just a phone call. Whether you’ve moved abroad for work, study, or a new adventure, your mom in Ireland is still thinking of you every day. Sending a bouquet of fresh, hand-tied flowers is a simple but powerful way to show her just how much she means to you.
At Flowers.ie, we specialise in helping expats and overseas loved ones send joy home to Ireland. Explore our International Mother's Day collection to find thoughtful arrangements that can be delivered across the country, all with same-day or next-day service.
When Does Ireland Celebrate International Mother's Day?
One of the most common mistakes international shoppers make is assuming that Mother’s Day is celebrated at the same time everywhere. But in Ireland, Mother’s Day is celebrated much earlier than in countries like the USA, Canada, or Australia.
International Mother’s Day falls on May 11th this year — a heartfelt reminder to celebrate the incredible women who raised us, guided us, and love us endlessly. If you’re sending flowers across borders, now’s the time to plan ahead. Pre-order early to make sure your mum receives her bouquet right on time, no matter where in the world she is.
