We chatted with 1-800-FLOWERS.com bouquet designer Juiie Mulligan about what makes a Mother's Day bouquet really special and luxurious.

She gave us some tips and told us all about spotamom.com, a 1-800-FLOWERS.com project which recommends different bouquets for moms by "type;" like a New Mom, a Pet Lover Mom, a Foodie Mom, and so on. Have a look through our gallery to see all Julie Mulligan's elegant and cheerful designs, get tips (such as adding flowering branches to a colorful bouquet like she did at right), and plan a decadently beautiful floral gift for your mother this year -- even if she's the type who already has everything she wants, including flowers.

The site also allows readers to share stories about moms they know and win $100 gift certificates. If you have a good Mom story, enter it by April 29th and she (or you) could even win a Beaches Resorts trip to Jamaica or the Turks and Caicos.

According to Julie Mulligan, luxury is all about personalization.
