It’s your anniversary, and you’re wondering - are flowers enough to mark the occasion? The short answer: absolutely. Flowers are a timeless way to celebrate love - you really can’t go wrong. But if you want the gesture to feel more personal, the key is in the details. Choosing the right type of flower and the right colour can help you say exactly what you mean.
What Flowers Should You Give for an Anniversary?
So, what flowers should you gift your loved one on an anniversary? The answer depends on their preferences. If you know their favorite color, simply choose flowers in that shade. If there’s no favorite color, pick flowers that are more popular than others. Rose bouquets are always a classic - especially red or white, as they symbolise love and commitment. Calla lilies are a great choice too, offering elegance and longevity. For something more unique, consider a mixed bouquet that reflects your partner’s favourite colours or personality.
What Colour Are Traditional Anniversary Flowers?
Red is the most traditional colour, especially for romantic anniversaries - it’s tied to love, passion, and commitment. White represents purity and lasting connection, while pink adds a softer, more playful tone. If you want something symbolic but not overly romantic, yellow or peach can express appreciation and warmth.
What Flower Symbolizes an Anniversary?
The most commonly recognised flower for anniversaries is the rose. It’s long been associated with love, especially in romantic relationships. However, some couples also follow traditional guides that link specific flowers to milestone years. For example, daisies are often linked to the 5th anniversary, while daffodils are tied to the 10th. But at the end of the day, the flower that means something to you both is the one that fits best.
Are Flowers Enough for an Anniversary Gift?
They absolutely can be. A well-chosen flower bouquet, especially if it's personal or includes your partner’s favourite flowers, can say a lot on its own. If you want to make the gesture feel more complete, you can always add a small gift - like a handwritten note, but no, you don’t need to go over the top. Simple can be just as meaningful.
