What Color Should Anniversary Flowers Be?

Your anniversary is quickly approaching and you’re planning to order a beautiful bouquet of anniversary flowers for the one you love. With all the options of florist flowers out there, what color should wedding anniversary flowers be? There is really no right or wrong answer when it comes to an anniversary bouquet, because there are gorgeous flowers in all the colors of the rainbow. However, some flowers and colors are traditionally associated with love, making them popular choices for anniversary flower arrangements. Kremp Florist can guide you in choosing stunning anniversary flowers in classic red, based on the recipient’s favorites, or flowers that fit your milestone anniversary year.

 

Red Anniversary Flowers

The color red is popular for anniversary flowers. It is a highly symbolic hue that has long been associated with love. But its symbolism doesn’t stop there; the color red has many meanings including passion, energy, urgency, caution, danger, courage, desire, and confidence. The shade has both positive and negative associations at the same time. For example, red is the color of fire, which can provide warmth and light but also can cause harm. The color red and its meanings are strong and steadfast, so giving someone you love a red flower arrangement leaves no doubts about your loving feelings.

One of the most traditional anniversary gifts is an arrangement of red roses. Like the color red, roses themselves have also long been associated with love. The flowers appeared in Greek mythology’s tales of Aphrodite and Cupid, the goddess of love and her son. Kremp Florist arranges roses by the dozen, from modest hand tied bouquets to larger than life vase arrangements. Red roses are accented with fluffy white baby’s breath and supported by a variety of vibrant greenery. The most coveted long stem roses soar high above the vase and look beautiful when displayed on a dining room table or in a large entryway.

These famous associations make giving a red rose arrangement a popular and instantly recognizable way to show feelings of love on your anniversary. For another take on red flowers, try incorporating other fiery blooms such as gerber daisies, tulips, spray roses, alstroemeria, carnations, or ranunculus.

 

Favorite Anniversary Flowers

Another way to show you care on your anniversary is gifting your significant other’s favorite flowers in a beautiful anniversary bouquet. It’s ok to stray from the classic red roses when you know the flower that will give him or her butterflies. Your love will surely be impressed when you arrive with her favorite stargazer lilies–you remembered! Some popular favorite flowers include lilies, sunflowers, tulips, carnations, peonies, hydrangeas, gerber daisies, and daisy pom pons. Many of these flowers come in multiple colors, so remember to think romantic when you’re shopping for your anniversary arrangement. A design with pink gerber daisies will show a sweet and innocent love. And a large vase overflowing with white hydrangea brings all the drama and romance of an everlasting flame–even without an ounce of the color red in sight!

 

Milestone Anniversary Colors

Certain colors are associated with milestone anniversaries, so be sure to incorporate them into your anniversary flower selection if you are lucky enough to be celebrating your 25th, 50th, or 75th anniversary! In the early 1900s, people began to recognize anniversary symbols with more valuable symbols for the longer the couple was together. Silver symbolized the 25th anniversary, with gold for the 50th, and diamond for the 75th. Although there aren’t any naturally metallic flowers, there are still ways to incorporate these metals and gems into a beautiful design that celebrates the achievement in your relationship. For example, fresh cut flowers can be designed in a silver container for a 25th wedding anniversary gift. A gold ribbon can be used to finish off a pure white floral bouquet for a pair celebrating their 50th. Florists can also use sparkling “diamond” gems to accent the flowers in a 75th anniversary design.

 

When it comes to anniversary flowers, you can never go wrong with passionate red blossoms or your partner’s favorite flowers. Glittering metals and gems add extra sparkle to those very special anniversaries that only come around every 25 years. Whether your heart is set on a classic design or you want your love translated into a customized arrangement, Kremp Florist can help you choose anniversary flowers in the perfect hue for you!
