Make Mother’s Day Beautiful with Gillespie Florists
Sunday, May 11th is Mother’s Day—let’s make it unforgettable.

Mother’s Day is one of our favorite days of the year here at Gillespie Florists. It’s a time to celebrate not just moms, but all the amazing women who nurture, guide, and support us—stepmoms, grandmas, aunts, mentors, and friends who give with their whole hearts.

Whether you’re celebrating a mom who loves timeless elegance or one who lights up the room with her vibrant spirit, we have the perfect flowers to say thank you in the most beautiful way.

Thoughtfully Designed Floral Gifts

From beautiful roses and graceful lilies to bright springtime mixes bursting with color, our floral arrangements are handcrafted to make her feel extra special. 💐

Looking to add a little something extra? We offer delightful gift add-ons including:

• Decadent chocolates from South Bend Chocolate Company
