Anniversary Flowers

There are countless types of Anniversaries which can be celebrated, but not all are appropriately celebrated with flowers. Sometimes a beautiful plant can symbolize all the feelings and emotions words can’t convey. Three popular forms of anniversaries to give bouquets and flowers include:

Anniversary Occasions

• Relationships & Marriages: Show your appreciation for your loved one with a bouquet of fresh flora. Take it a step further by researching which breed of flower is most suitable for how many years you have been with your partner or spouse.
• Deaths & Mournings: Dedicating flowers to family or friend at a funeral are the best way to convey sympathy and represent the beauty of those passed. Popular flowers include Lilies and Gladiolas. Laying flowers at a loved ones grave is also a deeply emotional gesture.
• Landmarks & Historical Moments: Historic places and landmarks can represent where a great person has died or what they have achieved. You may want to express your sympathy with flowers.

Flowers to Commemorate your Marriage

One of the most traditional anniversaries commemorated worldwide is the annual anniversary of the day a couple got married. Historically flowers are not the only gift that is given on an anniversary – it is often accompanied with another gift depending on how many years you have been together. You can compare anniversary flowers to find the most suitable bunch at the best price.
Ideas for appropriate flowers to present to your partner include:

1st Year Anniversary – Carnations

Depending on the color, a Carnation can represent a host of qualities and emotions. Ultimately, they are the embodiment of happiness and hope which will be carried through the future of your marriage.

4th Year Anniversary – Hydrangea

This delicate blue flower is symbolic for gratitude and accomplishment. A perfect variation out of a huge flower range.

20th Year Anniversary – Aster

A flower shrouded in mystery and intrigue. Symbolizes patience, enlightenment and a bright future with a large star-shaped deep red bloom.

Flowers to Commemorate those Passed Away

Bouquets of white flowers as well as wreaths are suitable options to bring to a graveyard. Depending on the personality of the person departed, or flowers that you know they liked or reminded you of in life, you may choose something different.

There’s no wrong option – what’s important is your intent. If you can’t decide, simply go for a pre-arranged grave or funeral bouquet or request a custom-tailored assortment.

If you have a loved celebrity, humanitarian or historical figure, the same goes. However, as you may not have access to their burial site, you may be more inclined to join in alongside everybody else.

Express your sympathy by laying your flowers, cards and love at a site which reminds mankind of their achievements or death, such as Neverland Ranch for Michael Jackson and Central Park for John Lennon.

One problem posed with flowers is that in time, they die. While this may be symbolically appropriate for laying beside a grave, bringing them to a funeral may remind the deceased’s family of life and death, especially when they wilt away.

For this reason, simply a card or a plant may be more appropriate since they last a lot longer than flowers.
