Anniversary flowers in Tampa

Roses are the default, and sometimes the default is right. But an anniversary is the one occasion where a repeated detail beats a big gesture.

Anniversary Flowers arrangement from our Tampa flower shop

If you sent the same thing last year and the year before, keep doing it. Anniversary flowers work by accumulation — the arrangement that says “this again, still” lands harder than something impressive and new. We keep a board of standing dates for exactly this, and we will call you the week before so you never have to remember.

If you want to break the pattern, the strongest move is not more roses. It is the flowers from the wedding, or the flowers from the first apartment, or whatever was in the bouquet in the photo on the shelf. Bring us the photo. We will get close.

Recreate the wedding bouquet

Bring a photo. We will tell you honestly which stems are seasonal and what we would swap.

Classic roses, done properly

Conditioned, thorn-stripped and arranged in a vase, not boxed and shipped.

FAQ

Anniversary Flowers
questions

Anything else, the phone is the fastest way — we're open 24 hours.

How many roses should I send for an anniversary?

A dozen is the convention and nobody has ever been disappointed by it. Some people send one rose per year of marriage, which is lovely up to a point and becomes a logistical problem around year forty.

Can you recreate our wedding bouquet?

Closely, usually. Bring a photo. Flowers are seasonal, so a bouquet from a March wedding may not be reproducible in August — we will tell you which parts work and what we would substitute before you commit.

Will you remind me next year?

Yes. We keep standing dates and call the week before. A good share of our anniversary customers order once and then just answer the phone each year.

Do I have to send red roses?

No. Red roses are the safe default, not a rule. If your partner loves peonies or tulips or something nobody else would pick, that is a better anniversary flower because it is specific to them.

Can you deliver to their workplace?

Yes, and mornings are much better than afternoons — a Friday 4 PM office delivery often sits alone in a lobby all weekend. We will steer you to a morning slot.
