Anniversary Flowers, Hand-Tied Fresh Since 1999

An anniversary bouquet should look like the year you have had together, romantic, generous, unmistakably chosen. We have hand-tied anniversary flowers from our Cape Town studio since 1999, so we know how to match the blooms to the couple, not just the occasion. Every bouquet is made fresh the morning it goes out, finished with a free handwritten card, and delivered by our own team. Order before 12pm for same-day anniversary flower delivery across Cape Town and Johannesburg, or send a gift box nationwide within 2 to 4 business days.

Anniversary Flowers by Year: The Right Bloom for Every Milestone

Every married year has its own flower, and understanding the anniversary flowers meaning behind each one turns a lovely bouquet into a meaningful one. These wedding anniversary flowers run from the first year to the seventieth. The first anniversary leans on carnations, the third on sunflowers, and the fifth on daisies, while the tenth anniversary flower, one of the most requested, is traditionally the daffodil, paired with fresh greens. The mid-milestone years each have their bloom too, through the 13th, 14th, 15th, 16th and 17th anniversary flowers, right up to the 20th anniversary flower, the aster, symbolising patience and enduring love. The 21st marks the richness of two decades together.

Bigger years deserve bigger gestures. The 25th (silver) and golden 50th anniversary flowers glimmer with white, silver and gold-toned blooms. The 30th, the 33rd, the 35th anniversary flower (the coral rose), and the 40th anniversary flower (the gladiolus) each carry their own symbolism, while the rare 65th and 70th wedding anniversary flowers call for the grandest arrangement of all. Any of our bouquets can be built around these symbolic blooms. Our luxurious anniversary gifts by year guide lists the traditional flower and gift for every year, and a lavish 50 Red Rose bouquet suits the biggest milestones beautifully. Our wider anniversary range gathers the gifts to pair alongside, and buying flowers online is a helpful read if you are sending from afar.

Happy Anniversary Flowers for Every Couple

Some anniversaries call for colour and joy rather than classic red, and for something more unique. A cheerful Brilliantly Happy bouquet or a warm Bright Sunshine bouquet brings instant celebration, while a Summer Delight posy box and the gentle Harmony arrangement feel fresh from the garden. If you are not sure what they would love, a Florist Choice bouquet lets our team build something special from the best stems of the day. Our 100 bouquet ideas guide is a lovely browse while you choose.

Red Roses and Classic Anniversary Arrangements

Red roses remain the classic anniversary flower, symbolising lasting love, and ours are hand-tied fresh. Send a striking bouquet from our roses for sale range, or browse the wider roses and luxury flower bouquets selections to find the exact shade and size. For a designed, sculptural look, a Creative Poetry arrangement or a Luxury Florist Choice bouquet makes a statement. Our rose gifting guide helps you choose roses that last, whatever the milestone.

Add a Gift Box, Bubbly or Handwritten Card

Anniversary gifting should feel indulgent and intentional. Pair the flowers with a box from our romantic gift boxes range, add a treat from our chocolate and sweets gift boxes, and we finish every order with a free handwritten card in your own words. Shopping for a partner specifically? Our anniversary gifts for her and anniversary gifts for him ranges pair blooms with something to unwrap, our wider gifts for her range goes further still, and our gift basket ideas guide and sustainable gifts guide show how we build a gift that feels complete.

Frequently Asked Questions

What flower symbolises an anniversary?

Roses are the traditional anniversary flower, with each colour carrying its own meaning: red for love and passion, pink for admiration, and white for purity and lasting devotion. Many anniversary years also have their own symbolic bloom, from the daisy at five years to the aster at twenty. Choosing that year's flower adds a thoughtful, personal layer to the gift.

What is the best flower for an anniversary?

The best flower depends on the milestone and the person. Red roses are the timeless romantic choice for any year, while daisies suit a fifth anniversary and daffodils are traditional for a tenth. For a milestone like a 25th or 50th, a grand rose bouquet makes the strongest statement. If you are unsure, a florist choice bouquet lets our team build something perfect from the freshest stems.

What colour flowers do you give for an anniversary?

Red is the classic anniversary colour for romance, but the milestone year often guides the palette. A silver 25th anniversary pairs beautifully with white and silver-toned blooms, while a golden 50th calls for yellow and gold tones. Beyond tradition, the best colour is simply the one your partner loves most, so lead with their taste.

Which roses are best for an anniversary?

Red roses are perfect for expressing love on any anniversary, while white roses symbolise purity and suit the more significant milestones. Pink roses say admiration and gratitude, and a mixed rose bouquet covers every sentiment at once. For a big year, a lavish bouquet of two dozen or more roses makes an unforgettable gesture.

How do I choose anniversary flowers by year?

Each anniversary year has a traditional flower: sunflowers for the third, daisies for the fifth, the aster for the twentieth, the coral rose for the thirty-fifth, and the gladiolus for the fortieth. Sending that year's bloom shows real thought. Our luxurious anniversary gifts by year guide lists the flower for every year so you can choose with meaning.

What is the 20th wedding anniversary flower?

The aster is the traditional flower for the 20th anniversary. It symbolises patience, elegance and deep love, which makes it a fitting way to mark two decades of marriage. Asters are delicate but resilient, much like a lasting relationship, and they pair beautifully with roses for a fuller, more romantic bouquet.

What is the 35th and 40th wedding anniversary flower?

The 35th wedding anniversary flower is the coral rose, a rare bloom symbolising desire, admiration and a love that keeps growing. The 40th anniversary flower is the gladiolus, representing strength of character, loyalty and deep sincerity. Both make a striking, meaningful centrepiece for a milestone celebration and can be built into a larger arrangement.

What are the flowers for the 25th, 50th and other milestone anniversaries?

The 25th (silver) anniversary pairs with white and silver-toned blooms, and the golden 50th with yellow and gold tones. The 30th, 45th, 55th, 65th and 70th anniversaries have no single official flower, so a grand rose or mixed arrangement in the year's colours works beautifully. For any milestone, the rule is simple: the bigger the year, the more generous the bouquet should feel.

Are there alternative flowers for an anniversary?

Yes. If your partner has a favourite bloom, lead with that over tradition. Orchids are a distinctive choice symbolising longevity and admiration, lilies suit an elegant, devoted couple, and a lush mixed bouquet works for any year. For an anniversary with no official flower, like the 33rd, a personalised bouquet that layers past anniversary blooms tells your shared story beautifully.

How much do anniversary flowers cost?

Our anniversary flowers suit a range of budgets, and every bouquet shows its current price on its own card, kept up to date automatically. You can start with a simple posy or step up to a lavish rose bouquet or a flower-and-gift combination. Because prices update live, what you see on the page is always current.

Can I get same-day anniversary flower delivery?

Yes. Order before 12pm, Monday to Saturday, and we deliver fresh anniversary flowers the same afternoon across Cape Town and Johannesburg using our own drivers. Because we arrange and deliver ourselves, the timing and the finish are handled with care, so even a last-minute anniversary still looks planned.

Do you deliver anniversary flowers nationwide?

Fresh anniversary flowers are delivered same-day within Cape Town and Johannesburg when you order before 12pm. For the rest of South Africa, we courier non-perishable anniversary gift boxes, hampers and bubbly nationwide within 2 to 4 business days, so you can still send something special anywhere in the country.
