Mother's Day

A Mother's Day gift is often a duet: a flower that lasts, a candle you light. This selection brings together our artificial stems and foliage, our candles and gift sets, so you can put together a gift just the way you want.

Pairing a flower with light

A single stem makes a quiet gesture, and a candle placed beside it carries it into the evening. The pairing works because the materials echo each other: the matte petal of a rose or ranunculus, the smooth wax of a candle. If the gift needs to fit in a small bag, choose a set of short candles and two or three stems.

Choosing the flower by its length

Our stems range from short flowers to tall peony or hydrangea sprays. A long stem calls for a tall, weighted vase, otherwise the whole arrangement tips over. For a bouquet, use an odd number of stems and add some eucalyptus foliage: it fills the space between the flowers and gives the arrangement its natural look.

Candle formats

Large candles make a statement on a festive table, while small ones slip into a hurricane holder or onto a tray. Gift sets bring together several candles in the same shade, so you can create a neat row. Candles designed for candlesticks have a narrow base: check the opening of your candle holder before choosing.

Frequently asked questions

How many stems do you need for a bouquet?

Three to five stems are enough for a bedside vase, seven to nine for a living room piece. Mix two flowers and one foliage rather than repeating a single variety.

How do I keep an artificial flower clean?

Dust the petals with a soft brush or cool air, and keep the stems out of direct sunlight, which eventually fades the colors.

Which candle for a candlestick?

A candle with a slim base whose diameter matches that of the cup. Measure the opening of your candlestick, as the flame's stability depends on it.
