Anniversary
Flowers are the perfect anniversary gift choice, whether you want to celebrate your own anniversary or the anniversary of a friend or family member.
Throughout history flowers have been associated with love and romance. Both Greek and Roman mythology have a goddess dedicated to flowers, and the rose is said to be sacred to both the Roman goddess of love, Venus, and the Greek goddess of love, Aphrodite.
A wedding anniversary is the ultimate celebration of a lasting love between two people, so flowers, the ultimate expression of love, make an ideal anniversary gift. Wedding anniversaries have their own special gifts associated with each year of marriage and even their own traditional flower. Lilies are the traditional flower for a 1st anniversary gift and irises for a 25th anniversary wedding gift.
But you can choose any flower you like to send to a loved one for an anniversary. It may be a bouquet made up of your loved one’s favourite flower, or you may want to choose one of the flowers of love from the Victorian language of flowers. Red roses are the flowers of true love and are still today one of the most romantic anniversary gifts you can send. They will tell someone how passionately in love with them you are on this very special day.
Red is not only the colour of passion, it is the colour of ruby, the gemstone associated with the 40th wedding anniversary. So a bouquet of red flowers would be a great ruby wedding anniversary gift. Similarly, the 50th anniversary is also known as the golden anniversary, so why not choose a bouquet of dazzling golden stems? And for the 25th anniversary, or silver, we have bouquets in cool whites with foliage dusted with silver.
For a slightly different wedding anniversary idea, why not add one of our cuddly teddies bearing a personalised message to a loved one, or a celebratory bottle of bubbly or wine, or a special occasion balloon?
No matter what the anniversary you are celebrating you can be sure to find just the right way to express yourself with Flying Flowers’ range of bouquets, plants and special gifts.
