Anniversary Flowers

About anniversary flowers

Anniversary flowers split into two quite different errands: a partner marking a shared year, and a couple — often parents or grandparents — being congratulated by someone else. The first tends toward roses, the second toward something that will sit well on a dining table in a shared home.

What these cost

Estimated delivered totals in this category run from $94.94 to $279.94, with a median of $99.94 — 5 of the 179 cost less than that. They cluster hard — 179 arrangements resolve to just 13 distinct totals, so a great many of these are priced identically. By band: under $104.94, 114; $104.94 – $109.94, 17; $109.94 and up, 48. Every one of those figures already includes Florist One's flat $19.99 delivery and service charge.

Delivery

• Anniversaries fall on the same date every year, so there is no excuse for a rush order — and no advantage to one either, since we cannot see delivery availability from here.
• If the delivery is to a shared home, either name on the address works; putting both makes it read as a gift to the couple.

How to choose

• If you are sending to a couple rather than a person, put both names on the delivery. It reads as a gift to the household rather than to one of them.
• A milestone year does not need a bigger arrangement so much as a longer-lasting one. Arrangements built on lilies and alstroemeria open over several days; a bouquet already fully open is at its best on arrival and downhill after.
• Roses feature in about two thirds of these, and the ones that are all roses sit at the upper end of the $94.94–$279.94 range.
