I strongly suggest wearing whichever color your Mom would like best, whether a flower or even a pretty outfit.
And don't forget to plan on cooking breakfast for your Mom and serving her in bed, after she has had an extra long sleep.
Don't worry about any mess in the kitchen. Dad can look after that all by himself.
Breakfast in bed and, afterwards, a big " I love you " hug is a wonderful family tradition in many homes on her special day.
I think the question may refer to the tradition where the color of the flower worn indicates whether the mother is living or not. Red indicates that your mother is living. White indicates that she has passed away. I have not seen this in practice for years, tho, but I think it is a very nice tradition.
People traditionally wear red carnations on Mother's Day. If the carnations are red, they signify admiration. Pink ones mean gratitude and love. Also, it is traditional to wear white carnations if the mother is not alive.
I was told that a red flower indicates your mother is still alive. A white flower indicates that your mother is deceased.
Pink carnation
Pink Flowers, supposedly a carnation? Above all, you should wear your mothers' favorite color. If your mom passed away you should probably wear red.
Roses
Mothers' day is no a religious day. Priests have 5 liturgical colors. What they wear is determined by the solemnity, feast, memorial on that day and not by Mothers' day
