We all know that Moms are heroes all year long. One day a year is not nearly enough to fit in all of the gratitude and love we wish to express to her - still, on Mother's Day, May 10th, we look forward to letting her know just how amazing she is!
Moms are cheerleaders, confidantes, and best friends. They laugh with us, they cry with us, and they are always available for a talk over a cup of coffee. Some "Moms" are grandmothers, stepmoms, aunts, mothers-in-law, or mentors - but whoever has filled this very important role in your life, make sure that you celebrate her with beautiful Mother's Day gifts.

Formal and special occasions are made even more memorable when you include traditions passed down through the years. During this season, one such tradition is the wearing of corsages for proms, graduations, or even Mother's Day. The term "corsage" is French and originally referred to the bodice of a dress. Eventually, the flowers worn with formal attire came to be known as corsages because women wore flowers pinned to their dresses. These flowers were called the "bouquet de corsage," and over time, simply "corsage."
Contemporary corsages are also worn as wristlets - but traditional or modern, a corsage from Ah Sam Florist is a beautiful touch at any celebration. Read More about Corsages for Prom & Mother’s Day »

National Teachers Week is May 7-13 and National Nurses Week is recognized the same week, officially May 6-12.
