Flowers for marriage anniversaries and their meanings
Marriage anniversaries are important
celebrations, not only for married couples, but also for the important friends
and family members in one’s life. When a couple celebrates their marriage anniversary,
it is more than just a celebration of the day they got married. It encompasses
even those days of ups and downs, of trials and tribulations and of happy
moments as well as the sad ones that they face together.
Marriage is one of the oldest institutions,
and it is most justified to celebrate it with nature’s best – flowers! However,
just like marriage anniversary gifts have a meaning and significance attached
to them, even anniversary
flowers gifted to the couple n this special day have a symbolic meaning.
Here are some of the popularly gifted flowers on anniversaries and what they
mean.

‘firsts’ for the couple. New meanings attached to everything that they do and
share together. With love and passion ruling the lives of newlyweds, the red
carnation makes a perfect gift.

sprinkled with more in-depth learning of each other. With new discoveries made,
couples begin to understand each other more. Flowers like lily of the valley
and sunflowers express feelings of understanding and purity of heart.

indeed a milestone. Married couples form firm friendships along with their

is a perfect choice for gifting couples on their fifth anniversary.
