Do you send flowers for a wedding anniversary?
Yes! Sending flowers to mark a wedding anniversary is a great way to show and celebrate your love. There are specific flowers that are synonymous with love – such as red or pink roses, charming tulips, or blousy peonies – but the best flower to send on a wedding anniversary is your partner's personal favourite.

What flower means forever love?
Unsurprisingly, the flower that represents forever love is the rose. Red roses are linked throughout history with romance and unconditional love, but you can choose any flower or shade of rose your loved one prefers to show your adoration. Choosing their personal favourite variety shows that you know them best.
Is there an anniversary rose?
Red roses are a traditional choice when picking a colour to mark any anniversary but always go with the colour your partner loves the most. Yellow roses are the official flower of a milestone 50th anniversary, while pink roses make a meaningful alternative, as they represent love, gratitude, and harmony.
What colour should anniversary flowers be?
Anniversary flowers can be just about any shade. If your loved one likes bright yellows and orange, or muted tones of blush or ivory, there's something for everyone at FLOWERBX. Traditionally, anniversary flowers would be in colours evocative of romance, like red and pink, but many now choose flowers based more so on their partner's preference.
