Musings On The Maternal

To celebrate Mother’s Day and all the strong and inspiring maternal figures in our lives we asked four inspirational women to share their thoughts on motherhood. In our latest campaign they delve into what the maternal means to them against the backdrop of our new Mother’s Day floral collection.

‘The Maternal? It’s magic! Just like how my mom described it to me when I was young - you will learn the ability to give and love unconditionally and experience it in return.

It’s also a balancing act! I’m both a mother and a daughter. Finding balance between those two roles is what makes life interesting.’

‘To me motherhood is about mastering and understanding love and acceptance in life. Not only what we give but also how we love ourselves- To love and accept yourself is the key to being a better mother.

“The maternal is in the world around us which nourishes us and provides. Mother nature gives us everything we need and beauty is her tool for survival because we protect what we fall in love with”



The maternal is that instinct to support and guide.

It’s all around us too, in nature. The maternal is in the world around us which nourishes us and provides. Mother nature gives us everything we need and beauty is her tool for survival because we protect what we fall in love with.’

The Maternal is something natural that comes from the heart. A place we look to for protection, warmth, comfort, and nourishment.

It’s that unconditional feeling of love, that even though you may be thousands of miles apart, that bond is never broken.

To me it’s a gift. Motherhood is the most wonderful and remarkable gift. It comes with the ability to give and love, that endless and selfless kind of love.

It means adventure. Being a mother, everyday is different- getting to see all the possibilities in the world through their eyes. They make me experience childhood wonder all over again.

The maternal is a challenge, one that make us strong and fearless. But its also inspiring. My children help me want to be a better person and make me believe in myself.
