Honoring Moms You Love with the Gift of Flowers

We send flowers to moms on the anniversary of her loss, or, on what would have been her due date. Those are dates a mother never forgets, but when they come around, her initial support system (if she had any) has faded or unintentionally forgotten. Remembering these dates mean the world to a mom. Not sure of her due date? If you know how far along she was, simply count out to 40 weeks and get as close as you can.

When our founder Chelsey received a bouquet of flowers in 2017 from an anonymous sender (the gesture that gave her the idea for Evermore Blooms), there was a moment that she legitimately felt, “Did these come from Jesus?!” Eventually, she found out the sender, and she was shocked to realize it was not a close friend or family member, but a casual acquaintance. We hope to recreate that feeling for moms, and we recognize that it can sometimes feel awkward to send flowers to someone you may not be super close with, like a coworker or cousin. We believe ANYONE can care for a mother, no matter how well you know her. By delivering the flowers anonymously, we remove any potential barrier of awkwardness, ensuring moms feel loved and cared for on her most difficult days.

Yes. Every bouquet has a card with a special message for the mom. It says: While nothing can take away the pain of losing a baby to miscarriage, we hope these flowers bring you comfort and assurance that your baby is remembered and so very loved. You’ll find one wooden flower to keep as a lasting reminder of the love you have for your baby, and the love God has for you. Praying for you today as you mourn what could have been.

We have bouquet cards with adjusted verbiage to acknowledge the loss of multiples, and we will include a wooden flower for each baby lost. When you fill out the request form, there is a section for you to indicate how many babies were lost in a single miscarriage. If the mother has had multiple miscarriages, those would be considered separate bouquet deliveries. Please note our policy for multiple bouquet deliveries below.

We partner with local florists to deliver bouquets. Upon receiving a request, we access our growing database of Florist Partners or seek out new ones to coordinate the delivery. Many of our florists choose to provide bouquets at cost, donate their design time, or waive delivery fees.

We require at least 10 business days notice for local deliveries (Sioux Falls, SD and surrounding areas within 20 minutes), and at least 30 business days notice for deliveries outside of our local area.

While not required, the suggested donation to send a bouquet to one mother is $50 for Sioux Falls, SD and surrounding areas, and $75 for all other locations. Donations ensure we can continue to care for as many moms as possible. If you cannot donate the full amount, a partial donation is still appreciated! After you submit the delivery request form, there will be a link to make your donation, or you can donate here.

Evermore Blooms bouquets are not just flowers. In every bouquet we send, we include one wooden flower that is hand-painted by a local artist. This bloom will not wither away, but rather, will serve as a lasting reminder of the love the mother has for her baby, and the love God has for her. Additionally, there is a team of people praying over the mom on the day she receives her flowers, and a few weeks after the flowers are delivered, we send a follow up letter inviting the mother to our private support community.

Yes. We provide one free bouquet delivery for each baby because we believe every life matters, and each baby should be recognized and remembered. With that said, while it is not required, we greatly appreciate when a donation is made to cover the cost of additional bouquets sent to the same mother. Donations allow us to ensure we can continue to care for as many moms as possible and honor the life of every baby. You can make a donation here.

Our bouquets create a special, unforgettable moment for moms to feel seen and loved, and to recognize and honor every baby with intention. In order to ensure we can care for the most moms with our limited funds as a non-profit, and to ensure we do not dilute the impact of our bouquets, we limit bouquet deliveries to one per baby. For example, if a mom has lost one baby, we will gift one bouquet to her at no cost. If she has lost three babies, we are honored to send her a bouquet for each baby, again, all at no cost.

An Evermore bouquet is a great first step to care for a mom, but we encourage you to be intentional and seek other ways to care for the mom on her hard dates as years go by.

While our hearts ache for all loss moms, our bouquet service is specifically reserved for mothers who've experienced a loss prior to 20 weeks gestation. The best way to explain why is to read this statement from our Founder, Chelsey:

“When I went through my first miscarriage, all I could find were organizations that served families suffering a later term loss. While those families certainly deserve and need all the support they can get, seeing that I didn’t “qualify” for the resources or services those organizations provided simply because I wasn’t very far along in my pregnancy made me feel so alone, and like my baby didn’t matter. I felt a fire in my heart and a calling from the Lord to care specifically for moms like me. I wanted to create something to make sure miscarriage moms felt loved and seen, and assure them that their babies are valued and remembered.”

There are numerous organizations that provide services developed by families who’ve experienced late term/infant loss, and therefore have first-hand understanding of what is most helpful for families enduring that scenario. Two of our favorites are the Oaklyn Foundation and Rachel’s Gift.
