Flowers have always been the go-to for expressing love and admiration, and on International Women’s Day, you have the perfect excuse to shower the incredible women in your life with love. This special day falls on March 8. While we adore classic mimosa flowers — the floral ambassadors of the occasion — there are a bunch of options to choose from, like peonies, tulips, and gerbera daisies. These blooms show affection in flower form, perfect for saying “thank you” to the women and allies we look up to. Don’t stress about which color to pick – each hue has its own beauty. Or keep it simple with purple, green, and white flowers, the official colors of the day. If you’re feeling a bit overwhelmed, our team at Conklyn’s Florist in Alexandria, Virginia is here to help you celebrate your favorite people in style this IWD.
Female Family Members
Our grandmothers, sisters, mothers, and aunts are the unsung heroes who keep our families running smoothly and support us whenever we need it. Juggling work, caregiving, and all kinds of responsibilities, they’re the real MVPs, day in and day out. So, on International Women’s Day, treat them to a stunning floral arrangement; it’s a heartfelt way to salute their awesome strength and dedication. And in a world that never stops moving, sending fresh blooms is a thoughtful way of saying, “Even though we’re miles apart, you’re always in our hearts.”
Your Biggest Supporters
International Women’s Day is all about celebrating women, but you know what’s cool? It’s also a chance to give some serious props to those amazing folks – partners, friends, and family – who’ve been your ride-or-die crew. Their gender doesn’t matter; these folks have had your back, fueled your dreams, and never stopped believing in you. Allies who champion women’s rights are like the real heroes in the mission for gender equality. Sending flowers is like giving them a big high-five to say thanks for being there, for their efforts in making their community better, and for spreading love and unity.
Mentors and Teachers
Everyone’s had that mentor or teacher who was the bomb, whether they were our high school French instructor or the college calculus genius. These legends added some serious inspo to our learning journey, and the impact is everlasting. Sending a bunch of flowers to those who’ve helped you become who you are on International Women’s Day is a sweet way to thank them for all the empowerment they’ve passed on. It’s also a nod to how they’ve been part of your growth, boosting you to kick down barriers and smash glass ceilings.

Yourself

Those flowers are a direct line to joy, and you absolutely deserve it. It’s also saying, “Hey everyone, I’m putting myself first.” In a world that sometimes doesn’t do that, it’s a total victory. Plus, it’s a powerful message — you’re sending a clear signal that says, “I love myself, and I’m fully aware of my own worth.” Do it every year as a reminder to celebrate your amazingness and self-love.
