The short answer
For an anniversary, send flowers that feel personal: a lush, seasonal bouquet in their favourite colours, or one built around the traditional flower for that year, like carnations for the first or daisies for the fifth.
Golden Hour Blooms Co., a wildflower florist in Markham, makes anniversary bouquets from $50 and delivers them on the exact date across Markham and Whitby.
Traditional anniversary flowers by year
Many florists follow a traditional list that pairs each anniversary with a flower. It's a lovely starting point for the card, even if the bouquet mixes in more.
| Year | Flower |
|---|---|
| 1st | Carnation |
| 3rd | Sunflower |
| 4th | Hydrangea |
| 5th | Daisy |
| 10th | Daffodil |
| 12th | Peony |
| 14th | Dahlia |
| 15th | Rose |
| 25th | Iris |
| 50th | Yellow rose and violet |
Some of these bloom only in certain seasons in Ontario. If yours isn't in season, we'll echo it in colour and feeling. See what's in season when.
Beyond a dozen roses
A dozen red roses says "anniversary." A bouquet built from what's blooming the week you met, or in the colour of her wedding flowers, says "our anniversary." That's the difference.
- Recreate a memory. Tell us about the wedding bouquet, the first date, or the garden at your first home.
- Go big for milestones. The Whole Meadow, from $125, is made for tenth, twenty-fifth, and fiftieth anniversaries.
- Make it yearly. The same date every year becomes a tradition they look forward to.
"A dozen roses says anniversary. A meadow from the week you met says yours."
Timing matters
Every delivery is scheduled, so your flowers arrive on the anniversary itself, not the day after. Order 3 to 5 days ahead and name the date.
