If you want to be trendy when sending a couple anniversary flowers you might want to stay away from the traditional blooms and be more experimental.
There are particular blooms assigned to each anniversary but when it comes to choosing your celebratory flowers you do not have to stick with tradition. There are many flowers outside the realm of the usual roses, chrysanthemums, violets and lilies that also symbolize the best qualities of a marriage such as deep love, passion, spirituality and commitment.
For instance the Amaryllis which is a tall shooting heart shaped like bloom symbolizes the deep love that one the mistress of the Greek God Hercules had for his mistress. Thus the bloom symbolizes strength and devotion.
The giant heart shaped petals of the Anthurium (sometimes called the Flamingo Flower) also symbolize love and the peace and happiness associated with a good home. They are also very sexual looking as well.
The delicate Lisiantheus is a pink flower that looks like a cross between a rose and peony and it symbolizes gratitude and appreciation for that hard to find true lover.
The Protea is a wonderful choice if you are looking for a flower that symbolizes living together until a ripe old age. It has spiky petals and speared centers. It also stands for courage and the good things in life.
Queen Anne’s Lace is a wonderful choice for an anniversary flower because it is part of the carrot family. The delicate white flowers symbolize peace, safety and sanctuary.
Rananculus is a special flower that comes in both red and yellow versions. The traditional meaning of the flower is “I am dazzled by your charms!” so it a nice gift.
Statice is a flower with tattered teensy purple blooms that symbolizes remembrance. It also smells like a rosemary plant. It is a great filler flower for any bouquet.
Sweet Peas com in all kinds of colors that are symbolic in themselves such as red (for passion), violet (for wisdom) and pink (for affection.) The meaning of the flower is “blissful pleasures” which of course as its implies agood sex life.
Peonies are traditional for the twelfth anniversary but they are so wild and lush looking that they must be included here. This lush pink bloom is the symbolic embodiment of riches, honor, good fortune and a happy marriage.
Of course throughout the years you can make bouquets of flowers symbolic to that anniversary year! Use your imagination.
