Short answer: Mothering Sunday 2027 is Sunday 7 March. Inside London we deliver on the Sunday itself, at the same delivery price as any other day, and same-day orders are accepted until 10 pm. For an address outside London, order by Tuesday 2 March so the bouquet arrives by Friday 5 March. International Women's Day follows the next day, Monday 8 March, which makes this one of the busiest weekends of our year.
Mother's Day flowers are the delivery that has to arrive on a particular Sunday morning, at a home address, often to someone who will not be expecting a courier. Each bouquet is arranged in our London studio in SE1 on the day it goes out, so the real question is not how early we can make it but how late you can leave the decision. Here is how the March dates work in 2027, what the Sunday changes, and how to plan if you are sending flowers for both days of the weekend.
When is Mother's Day 2027 in the UK?
Mothering Sunday in the UK is Sunday 7 March 2027. It is always the fourth Sunday of Lent, three weeks before Easter Sunday, so it moves every year: Easter 2027 is on 28 March, which puts Mothering Sunday on the 7th. In 2028 it falls on 26 March. The date is worth putting in your calendar now rather than remembering on the Saturday — the whole of our Mother's Day flowers collection can be booked for that Sunday at checkout.
Why is Mother's Day in March in the UK and in May in America?
Because they are two different holidays. The British Mothering Sunday grew out of a church tradition tied to Lent, which is why it follows the date of Easter. The Mother's Day kept in the United States and many other countries is fixed on the second Sunday of May — 9 May in 2027. If you live abroad and are sending flowers to your mother in London, she will be expecting them in March; if your mother is abroad and you are in London, check which of the two days her country keeps before you book.
When is the last day to order Mother's Day flowers in London?
For delivery inside London our usual cut-off applies on Mothering Sunday as on any other day: order by 10 pm and we deliver the same day. A same-day order is delivered during the day, between 9 am and 11 pm, with no fixed window, and most same-day orders arrive within eight hours. So the honest last moment to order for Mothering Sunday is the Sunday itself — but by then you are choosing from what is left, and you cannot choose when it arrives.
The useful last day is earlier. If the bouquet should be there at breakfast or before a family lunch, place the order in the week before and book Sunday 7 March with a morning window at checkout. If you need an exact time, put it in the order comment or message us on WhatsApp before you order, and we will tell you what we can hold.
Do you deliver flowers on Mothering Sunday?
Yes. We deliver across London seven days a week, Sundays and bank holidays included, so Sunday 7 March is an ordinary delivery day for us: you choose the date at checkout and the bouquet goes out that day. There is a separate page on Sunday flower delivery in London if you want the general rules. Hotels, restaurants and care homes are fine as a delivery address — give us the booking name, the room or the ward in the delivery instructions.
Does Sunday delivery cost extra on Mother's Day?
No. There is no weekend surcharge and no separate Mother's Day delivery fee: Sunday delivery costs the same as delivery on any other day, and delivery is free above the threshold shown in your basket. The price you see at checkout for the Sunday is the price you pay. An exact delivery hour, an early-morning or out-of-hours delivery are arranged on request and may carry an additional fee — we will tell you before you pay.
What is the deadline for Mother's Day delivery outside London?
Outside London we send hand-tied bouquets and flower boxes by courier to mainland England, Wales and Scotland, and courier delivery takes two to three working days. With Mothering Sunday on 7 March, aim for the bouquet to arrive on Friday 5 March, which means ordering by Tuesday 2 March; Wednesday 3 March is the last day it is still likely to arrive in time. The checkout shows which delivery dates are available for the postcode you enter.
A bouquet that arrives on the Friday still looks right on the Sunday: it travels already arranged, and our freshness guarantee covers at least three days from delivery. Flower baskets, anything in a vase and balloons are delivered within London only, so for a mother elsewhere in the UK choose a hand-tied bouquet or one of the flower boxes. Northern Ireland, the Scottish islands and the far Highlands are not covered by the standard courier service — message us on WhatsApp before ordering. The details are on our delivery page.
Can I choose a delivery time on Mothering Sunday?
Yes, if you book the date in advance. For any future date you choose a delivery window at checkout — 9 am to 1 pm, 1 pm to 6 pm, 6 pm to 11 pm, or any time — and the courier works to it. On Mothering Sunday the morning window is the first to fill, because most people want the flowers to be there when the day starts. On a peak weekend and in heavy traffic a delivery can occasionally run a little later than the window, so if the time really matters, choose the morning and tell us why in the order comment.
Mothering Sunday and Women's Day are on the same weekend: how do I plan both?
In 2027 the two dates sit side by side: Mothering Sunday on Sunday 7 March, International Women's Day on Monday 8 March. They are different occasions. Mothering Sunday is a family day for mothers and grandmothers, and the flowers go to a home. Women's Day is broader — colleagues, friends, teachers, a partner, a whole team — and 8 March is one of the two busiest days of our year.
The practical plan for the weekend is simple. Book the Sunday delivery to your mother with a morning window. Book the Monday deliveries for Women's Day flowers to offices for the morning of the 8th, when reception is staffed, and to homes for the evening. If you are ordering for both days, or for several addresses, say so in the order comment and we will plan the deliveries together.
What if I have left it too late?
Inside London, “too late” only starts after 10 pm on the Sunday: until then a same-day order still goes out that day. Outside London, if the Wednesday has passed, the courier cannot get a bouquet there by Sunday, and an honest alternative is a gift card. It is sent by email straight away or on the date you choose, it is valid for twelve months, and your mother picks her own bouquet and her own delivery date — which some mothers prefer anyway.
What if something is wrong when the flowers arrive?
Send us a photo. Our freshness guarantee is a replacement: the flowers stay fresh for at least three days from delivery when the care instructions are followed, and if they wilt sooner we replace the bouquet, in addition to your statutory rights. If a bouquet arrives damaged or is not what you ordered, send photos within 24 hours — on a Sunday tell us the same day if you can. Write to info@floritta.uk or message us on WhatsApp on +44 7387 939120.

What to send for Mother's Day
March is one of the best months of the British spring for flowers. Tulips, ranunculus, hyacinths and narcissi are all in season — see what is in season in March — and soft pinks, whites and creams read as Mother's Day in a way that red roses do not. A hand-tied bouquet suits a mother who is at home and likes to arrange flowers; for a care home, a hospital or someone who is travelling, a flower box or one of our plants needs no vase and no attention.
The Mother's Day flowers collection has the spring bouquets, flower boxes and baskets in one place. If you already know what she likes, start with tulips, pink flowers or roses, and add your message at checkout — we place the card with the flowers. Planning further ahead? The same ordering logic applies to the other peak of our year, set out in when to order Valentine's Day flowers in London.
