Weddings are official celebrations of your love. They are a major chapter in life that
creates new beginnings and generates lots of life changes. Wedding anniversaries
commemorate this monumental part of your life and all that comes with it, from your
love for one another to all the memories you share until this point in time.
There are many ways to celebrate your anniversary, including gifting a romantic
bouquet. Here’s a quick guide to wedding anniversary flowers by year and how to
enhance your celebrations of love.
The First Year of Celebration
Like many other firsts in your life, the one-year anniversary is a momentous occasion.
It’s both the end of one tunnel and the beginning of a new one. There are a lot of
changes and things to figure out during your first year of marriage. Making it through the first year is an accomplishment, but as one year ends, another begins, opening new
doors of opportunities and challenges.
Most first-year anniversary bouquets feature carnations or roses, traditional symbols of
love. Carnations also signify youth, young love, and optimism, making it a great
representation of a one-year marriage.
The Countdowns to a Decade
From the first anniversary year to the big decade, life blurs. However, each anniversary
still holds lots of meaning and deserves a bouquet that encapsulates that year. During
the years counting up to the 10th anniversary, gift floral arrangements that tie to new
things you found out about one another, a memory from the year, or one that looks how
your love feels.
Each year also features an associated symbolic flower. Represent the second year of
marriage with cosmos. Daisies represent the fifth year. For the big decade celebration,
daffodils are the official flower. They mean loyalty, prosperity, and new beginnings.
The Monumental Milestones
Monumental milestones deserve grand bouquets overflowing with blossoms, colors,
scents, and beauty. They should mirror the importance of the occasion and encapsulate
the joys of the celebration. Tying in a personal touch to the gift further makes the
flowers the perfect way to commemorate your achievements and reflect the love that’s
grown.
Add flowers that match the time of year you got married. Implement your favorite florals.
Look for arrangements that include flowers from your wedding day. For monumental
years, make your anniversary bouquets just as special as the occasion.
The Rest of the Anniversary Years
No matter the year or milestone, each anniversary gives you plenty of reason to
celebrate. They allow you to step back, reflect, and celebrate your love each year. For
all the anniversaries in between the milestones, don’t hold back. Gift breathtaking
bouquets that represent your love.
