Mother's Day Flowers for Mom — What to Give, Prices, Delivery
In Kazakhstan, Mother's Day (Analar Kuni) is the 2nd Sunday of May (until 2023 — the 3rd Sunday of September). It's an official observance (not a day off), and the bouquet is the centerpiece of the celebration. ROZY florists put together 10 ideas: which flowers to choose, what NOT to give your mom, prices, and delivery to other cities.
When Mother's Day is celebrated in Kazakhstan
In Kazakhstan, Mother's Day (Analar Kuni) falls on the second Sunday of May. The date was moved there by a government decree in 2023; before that the holiday was on the third Sunday of September. Many Kazakhstanis also send greetings on March 8 (International Women's Day) and February 14 (if mom is a best friend); families with relatives in Russia also mark the last Sunday of November (Mother's Day in Russia). Mother's Day in Kazakhstan is an official observance set by a government decree, not a public holiday with a day off. Children give gifts and many families gather for lunch.
The best flowers for mom
A classic choice is white or soft-pink roses (21 stems is the perfect bouquet size) — a symbol of purity, respect and love. Peonies (May–June) are the lush, tender blooms that many middle-aged Kazakh women adore. Hydrangeas look striking and elegant, especially in a box. Lisianthus is a delicate pick for refined moms. A potted orchid suits a practical mom — it blooms for 2–3 months.
What NOT to give your mom
Yellow flowers carry an outdated superstition about 'separation' — many older women still believe it and may feel hurt, so it's best to avoid them. Black or deep-burgundy roses have a funereal undertone. Bouquets with balloons feel too childish. Arrangements with bright-pink decor, glitter and little hearts don't match a mature taste. An even number of stems is a symbol of mourning.
How many flowers to put in a bouquet for mom
11 flowers is a light gesture, 'just a thought,' from 7,500 ₸. 15–21 is the standard festive bouquet, from 12,800 ₸. 25 is a serious Mother's Day gift, from 21,000 ₸. 51 expresses immense love and respect, from 42,200 ₸. 101 is a special statement (a milestone birthday, an important date) from 82,200 ₸. Remember: always an odd number for fresh flowers.
Rose color and its meaning for mom
White roses — purity, respect, gratitude. The ideal choice. Soft pink — tender love and care. Cream/beige — calm elegance, for mature moms. Peach — thankfulness and warmth. Red — passionate love, better suited to a wife or girlfriend; for a mom it reads ambiguously. Black, deep-burgundy and dark-purple roses are not given to a mom.
Boxed arrangements for mom
Hat boxes are a stylish, on-trend format that mature moms value for their practicality: no vase needed, easy to carry to the office to show colleagues, and they last 10–14 days. 21 garden roses in a box — from 25,000 ₸. A mix of peonies and lisianthus in a box — from 22,000 ₸.
What to add alongside the flowers
A handwritten card is the most treasured touch (free at ROZY — write your own words and we'll print them beautifully). A small jewelry box or piece of jewelry tucked beside the bouquet for mom to discover. Chocolates (Raffaello, Belgian chocolate) — a classic. A spa or restaurant gift certificate if your mom loves to pamper herself. A book by her favorite author for the intellectual moms.
Flower delivery to mom on Mother's Day
For the second Sunday of May, we recommend ordering 3–5 days in advance — that guarantees the exact bouquet and her favorite flowers. On the day itself only ready-made catalog bouquets are available. ROZY works 24/7, Sundays included. You can schedule delivery for a precise time (to coincide with lunch or a morning surprise). Free delivery on orders over 20,000 ₸.
Idea: one rose for every year of mom's age
A special gesture is a bouquet where the number of roses equals your mom's age. For a 50th birthday — 50 roses (from 41,000 ₸). For a 60th — 60 roses. For a 70th — 70 (a milestone). You can attach a little card to each rose with a memory or a word of thanks — this is assembled separately, and ROZY florists help arrange it. A gift your mom will remember for a lifetime.
Flowers for mom from grown children in another city
Many Kazakhstanis have moved to Astana or Almaty from other cities while their parents stayed behind in Karaganda, Pavlodar or in villages. ROZY delivers directly to Karaganda and Pavlodar (we have our own points there). To other cities — via our partner network (Atyrau, Shymkent, etc.) — order 2–3 days ahead. A photo report of the delivery is sent to WhatsApp — mom in the frame with her bouquet.
