Celebrate UK Mother’s Day in the Netherlands 🇬🇧🌷

Mother’s Day in the UK – known as Mothering Sunday – is a cherished day for celebrating mums, grandmothers, and all the women who shape our lives with care and love. Unlike most countries, the UK observes Mother’s Day on the fourth Sunday of Lent, which in 2025 falls on Sunday, March 30th.

If your mum is from the UK but now lives in the Netherlands, this is your perfect chance to surprise her with a thoughtful gesture that makes her feel right at home — no matter where she is.

Why UK Mother’s Day Matters — Even Abroad

For many British mums living abroad, UK Mother’s Day can feel a bit… forgotten. With the Dutch Moederdag falling in May, it’s easy for this earlier celebration to slip under the radar.

But for those with English roots, Mothering Sunday holds strong emotional meaning. It’s a beloved tradition filled with daffodils, homemade cards, breakfast in bed — and of course, fresh flowers.

By recognising the UK date, you're not just giving a gift — you're giving a feeling of connection, tradition, and home.

The Power of Flowers — A Classic That Never Fails

Flowers are the heart of Mother’s Day celebrations. They speak the universal language of appreciation, love, and care — especially when thoughtfully chosen.

At Flowers.nl, we make it easy to send flowers to your English mum living in the Netherlands, with same-day delivery options and elegant, hand-tied arrangements.

What Flowers to Choose for Your British Mum?

Here are a few timeless blooms that are perfect for Mothering Sunday:

Tulips

A true Dutch classic, but also a favourite in springtime UK gardens. Symbolising comfort and warmth, tulips are ideal for a British mum embracing her new home.

Roses

Soft pink or cream roses convey admiration and gratitude — gentle, elegant and universally loved.

Carnations

Traditionally linked to Mother’s Day in the UK, carnations represent love and devotion, especially pink ones.

Seasonal Mixes

A cheerful spring bouquet with daffodils, hyacinths, and ranunculus can bring back memories of UK Mother’s Days past.

Make It Extra Special

To create a truly memorable experience for your mum, consider adding one of these thoughtful touches:

• A personalised note – Tell her how much she means to you in your own words.
• Small gift add-ons – Chocolates, a candle, or a luxurious hand cream.
• Home delivery – Let her wake up to flowers at her doorstep.
