At The Brighton Flower Company we pride ourselves on being an independent florist, run by women, with a strong female-led team. As we look ahead to International Women’s Day 2026, and reflect on another busy year, we’re aiming to use our expert floristry skills to celebrate all women, and of course mums, as Mother’s Day approaches on 15th March.
Find out more about our range and team below. To order by phone call 01273 770966, where we’re also happy to answer any questions about our products, or create a custom design.
What is International Women’s Day?
IWD is a specific day dedicated to the advancement of women worldwide.
Marked by millions of people on March 8, IWD provides an important platform to engage with communities, reflect on progress, and commit to positive action. Participation in IWD ensures progress toward equality remains on the global agenda and positive action prevails.
IWD has a long and powerful history of collective action, with many groups, countries, and bodies having actively contributed to its evolution.
Today, IWD is a highly visible worldwide occurrence with significant mainstream awareness, marked by groups worldwide in a wide variety of ways.
Remember, all IWD activity is valid. IWD is a movement. It belongs to all groups, everywhere. That’s what makes IWD so inclusive, not exclusive.
Kate Scott, owner of The Brighton Flower Company
Since 2010 Kate has been the owner of The Brighton Flower Company after a long standing career in HR. Taking a leap of faith Kate bought the business when it went up for sale and the rest, as they say, is history.
Since then it has grown into a larger team of talented female florists with a dedicated delivery driver, and has been able to offer customers popular flower workshops, weddings, events as well as our local and national bouquet delivery service! (phew)
“I feel really proud to be a part of a women lead team, going from strength to strength. We feel so grateful to be a part of peoples lives – working tirelessly to make it as special for our customers as possible, always going the extra mile”
“We often joke that this job gives us our fill of female friendships but in fact this is true! We are often found chuckling away whilst working hard. It really does feel like a family affair with the staffs family members coming in to help during busy times. They fully understand our dedication and how much this all means to us which makes me so proud”
“Speaking of dedication, I feel so lucky that our staff members are so happy here they never leave! With our longest standing employee having been here for over 15 years! Here’s to many more!”
Celebrate women
This year, why not celebrate the women in your life with a bouquet? It’s the perfect time to recognise achievements, to say thank you, or simply let them know you appreciate them.
Our Ultra Violet bouquet features gorgeous purples and greens with Ocean Song roses, Lissianthus, Clematis and Astrantia, and we have a select range of handcrafted bouquets available to suit all tastes.
Our Mother’s Day flowers range
Each year we launch a brand new Mother’s Day flowers range that our team designs in-store using seasonal flowers, with bouquets available in a range of sizes and to suit a variety of budgets. For each bouquet we choose flowers that are bright and beautiful, and will enclose a handwritten note with your personalised message to your mum.
Our team is dedicated in producing creative floral designs and we think this unique process is reflected in the bouquets, making them the perfect gift! Each bouquet will be fresh and you can pass on our care guide to keep flowers fresh for longer so they can make the most of their present.
If you’re shopping for your mum, also consider some of our beautiful indoor plants and succulents which prove popular throughout the year, and our gifts range that includes cuddly bears and chocolates. With this Mother’s Day being under lockdown restrictions in the UK, it’s the perfect time to show you care.
Tips on picking the perfect bouquet
Choosing to give flowers as a gift is a wonderful choice as they show you’re thinking of someone, are affordable and brighten up any room in the home. They can also help boost people’s mood and general wellbeing, making them pretty powerful gifts.
If you’re looking for some easy tips to pick the perfect bouquet, follow this advice:
- Choose bouquets that include their favourite flowers, colours or scents
- Think about where they might put the bouquet in their home and visualise what might look best
- How much space do they have? Use this to help decide if you can pick a large or deluxe bouquet
- Be aware of any allergies or pets, as some flowers aren’t suitable for cats and dogs
With all that in mind, relax and take it easy! Picking a bouquet should be fun and when it comes down to it, it’s the thought that counts. Our florists have created this beautiful range so that you can’t go wrong!
