For a relationship or wedding anniversary, red roses remain the surest choice, because they symbolise love and passion. The number of roses and the format of the box help you tailor the gesture to where you are in your relationship: something intimate for the first few months, something grand for a milestone year. Adding an extra, such as champagne or chocolates, makes the surprise complete.
Which flowers to give for a relationship anniversary
In the first months and years, what matters most is the intention. A delicate gesture that shows attention to detail says more than an over-the-top bouquet.
- First month or first few months: a preserved Single Rose, a symbol of a unique love that lasts for years.
- First year: a Simplicity bouquet, with 7 to 9 roses, or a Glamorous, with 18 to 22 roses.
- The years that follow: the heart-shaped box of the Passion XL, with 30 to 34 roses, is a declaration that is hard to forget.
Red roses are the classic choice, but pink, associated with tenderness and affection, is perfect for newer relationships.
Which flowers to give for a wedding anniversary
On a wedding anniversary, flowers celebrate the story you have built together. Tradition assigns a material to each year, such as paper for the first, silver for the 25th and gold for the 50th. Flowers can follow that symbolism or simply celebrate love.
- The early years: a Glamorous or a Passion XL with red roses.
- Milestone years: the Luxurious bouquet, with 38 to 45 roses, or the exclusive Supreme format.
- Silver anniversary: white roses in a black box, an elegant contrast that evokes the gleam of silver.
- Golden anniversary: yellow or salmon roses, warm and radiant.
Fresh or preserved roses for an anniversary?
Fresh roses, from Ecuador and picked at the peak of their bloom, bring the fragrance and life of a natural flower. Hand-prepared in boxes with a built-in watering and insulation system, they last 10 to 15 days.
Preserved roses keep their fresh, silky look for 3 to 5 years, with no water. If you would like your anniversary gift to remain as a keepsake until the next anniversary and beyond, they are a choice full of symbolism. Our article fresh or preserved roses compares the two options.
How many roses to give
Some people like to give as many roses as the years they have been together, or to follow the traditional meanings associated with each number. One rose speaks of a unique love, a dozen is a classic declaration and large quantities express a love beyond measure. Our guide how many roses to give will help you choose.
