What are the types of flowers that represent wedding anniversary?

If you have been married for a while, by now you’re probably aware of the various ways of celebrating different years of marriage. For example, the symbol for 25 years of marriage is silver while 50 years are celebrated with gold. Generally speaking, the symbols range anywhere from fragile paper to the strong and enduring diamond which represent the 1^st year and the 60^th year respectively. As the years go by, the anniversary gifts increase in strength.

There is a different anniversary flower that is used to commemorate the blooming marriage with each passing year. In this part, we’ll guide you on the type of flower and its color to help you plan decorations for your wedding anniversary parties.

1^st anniversary

Carnations

These wedding flowers are perfect for the 1^st anniversary because they’re youthful and have a vibrant full bloom. This is a great representation of young and passionate love. Carnations come in a variety of colors so the couple can choose one that best represents their love.

2^nd anniversary

Cosmos

The cosmos is a flower whose beauty is unique and intense.

By the time a couple is celebrating their second anniversary they now have a deeper understanding of what marriage entails. The gorgeous and luminous cosmos symbolizes this transformation.

3^rd anniversary

Sunflower

In the third year, marriage has a strong foundation that may be compared to the sturdy stem of a sunflower. The flower’s yellow and vibrant petals that are always facing the sun represent the love and passion which radiate outwards. This flower is symbolic of the cheerful times that lie ahead.

4^th anniversary

Geranium

By the fourth year, the couple becomes more comfortable in their role as husband and wife. The colorful geranium represents the coming together of two people in body, mind, and spirit.

The intense lines of color radiating outwards exemplify the ever-expanding love of the couple.

5^th anniversary

Daisy

At a glance, the daisies look very simple but their structure and texture are incredibly unique and exciting. The center represents the intense bond of the couple created over the years while the petals represent the magical ways in which the couple will grow.

The daisy may also be used to represent fidelity, hope, and forever love.

10^th anniversary

Daffodil

These flowers are great for representing the first decade of marriage. The daffodil is small but when arranged in a bouquet they come alive in a massive bloom. This is a great way to represent the little memories that you and your spouse have and which contribute to extraordinary life.

15^th anniversary

Rose

No flower signifies intense passion like the rose.

After being together for 15 years, the couple has been through it all – the good and the bad- yet they’re still together. These flowers show that no matter what happens the love will remain.

20^th anniversary

Aster

The name aster is derived from the ancient Greek word for star. It was believed that stars have magical properties that gave knowledge and wisdom.

By the time a married couple is celebrating their second decade together, they have gained so much wisdom through spending life together.

25^th anniversary

Iris

The iris is a royal flower which is a symbol of elegance and sophistication. It’s believed to embody the spirit, love, and aura of Paris making it a wonderful choice for honoring the quarter of a century together.

This flower represents the strength and futility of the marriage. No matter what, you and your spouse will stand tall and bright.

30th anniversary

Lily

Lilies represent motherhood. The fact that they come in different colors allows you to be spontaneous just as you were when you were younger.

The 30^th anniversary is a big time to reflect on the huge changes happening in your life such as the children moving out or retirement. This flower reminds you to take a step back and appreciate how your lives have transformed over the years.

40^th anniversary

Gladiolas

The name of these flowers is derived from the Latin word “gladius” which means sword. This flower shows your loved one that no matter how much time has passed; he/she still “pierces your heart.”

50^th anniversary

Yellow Roses and Violets

Getting to 50 years in marriage is a great accomplishment. These anniversaries are covered with two different flowers; these are the yellow roses and violets. These two colors are complementary and the flowers look amazing together – together they make each other look more beautiful.
