Anniversary flowers for every special year

When you get married, it can feel like a wonderful dream for the first few years. Of course, as time goes by, many couples fall into something of a routine and they sometimes even forget all about their anniversary! Each year is an important milestone and a great time for reflection. There is no better way to celebrate than by sending beautiful anniversary flowers and spoiling your spouse.

The right colour

When it comes time to choose anniversary flowers, you will need to take into account the traditional gifts and colour associated with that year of marriage. The first year, for instance, is associated with the gift of paper and the colour yellow while the second yuear is associated with cotton and the colour red. There are also some exceptions, like the fourth year, which is associated with a gift of fresh fruit. So, instead of a fresh flower bouquet, you could send a bright fruit basket instead.

Edible arrangements

If you know that your spouse is not such a fan of fresh flowers or if they have severe allergies, you might want to avoid anything that will make them sneeze. Instead of your usual anniversary flowers, you could opt for an edible arrangement. Chocolate bouquets, for example, are both beautiful and thoughtful.

Potted plants

There are also those who prefer living gifts as opposed to anniversary flowers. If you know that your spouse likes to care for plants, you can always buy them a plant to add to their collection and it will most certainly brighten your home. If they are not all that great at plant care, not to worry because you can always choose something like a succulent that does not need daily attention.

Wedding anniversaries are not always celebrations for two. When it comes to significant milestones like 10, 20, 30 and 40 years of marriage, it is something that the whole family would like to celebrate. This is reason enough to either host a dinner at home or even rent a space to have a memorable party. Remember, when decorating the event, you should try to use the colours associated with this year of marriage to make it even more special. Your anniversary flowers might not be available in colours like silver or gold, but you can always use white blooms with gold or silver accessories.
