If you don't want to waste your money on a bouquet that will wilt in a week, then Venus Et Fleur's Eternity Flowers are definitely the way to go. The seller's flowers are essentially dehydrated, dyed and preserved to last up to a year with little maintenance — no watering or sunlight — you'll just need to do some light dusting now and then. The prices range from a single rose at $44 to its largest arrangement at almost $4,600. Because the flowers are dyed, you can choose from a variety of vibrant colors. And you do have to keep the flowers in the box they come in, but there are luckily a lot of different options for that too. One of the downsides is that Venus Et Fleur primarily sells roses, but that's also what makes it a great option for Mother's Day.
