Are you the type of couple that marks every milestone in your relationship? Or have you forgotten a few anniversary gifts here and there? Every relationship is unique, and many partners rely on the power of flowers when it comes to expressing love on their anniversaries. Kremp Florist can help you determine which flowers are best to give on your special day, whether you’ve been together for a few months or married for decades.
History of Anniversary Presents
It is common today to exchange anniversary presents, but that wasn’t always the case. In the 1930s, most couples recognized the 1st, 10th, 20th, 25th, 50th, and 70th wedding anniversaries. Gifts would not typically be given for all the passing years in between these big milestones. With each benchmark reached the gifts would become more valuable because the society of the day wanted to congratulate and reward the stability in the relationship. That’s how we came to have a symbol associated with each anniversary, starting with paper for the first anniversary and leading all the way up to diamond for the 75th. Today, some people still choose anniversary gifts based on these symbols, and other gifts like flowers and chocolates also remain popular. Many couples do something special to mark each anniversary and especially celebrate the milestone years.

Flowers are a traditional anniversary gift that is still popular today. Kremp Florist’s beautiful bouquets for anniversaries symbolize the uniqueness, beauty, and liveliness of a happy relationship. Not sure which pretty petals to choose? There are several paths to finding yourself a stunning arrangement that will please your partner, such as:
