A handmade bouquet made for anniversary, photographed in daylight.Anniversary
How do you mark a year without repeating last year?
A year together isn't a small thing, and neither is remembering it without being reminded.
The card
What to write
We write the card by hand, exactly as you send it. Take one of these or change it so it sounds like you.
- That's one more year. I'd do all of it again.
- This is for the years behind us and the ones still coming.
- You're still the best decision I ever made.
- Happy anniversary. Here's something that lasts, unlike my patience.
- Here's to us, quietly and for a long time.
- Every year I think it can't get better, and every year it does.
- Happy anniversary. Here's to being unbearable together.
- This is for you, on the day that started all of it.
Timing
When to order
We take three to five days. An anniversary is a date you already know, so there's rarely a reason to leave it late. If you'd like the message written a particular way, please allow us an extra day.
What most people get wrong
The year is what you're marking, so we'd make the piece about that rather than about the flowers. We'll choose something for this particular year, and it will still be on the shelf when the next one comes round.
What if it's a proposal?
A proposal isn't an anniversary, and we don't treat it like one. The piece is usually smaller, because someone has to carry it and hold it in one hand. Tell us when you message and we'll make it to be carried. Nothing about the order reaches the person you're proposing to, and that includes the delivery message.
- You can ask me again whenever you like. The answer won't change.
- I had a whole speech ready. This is the short version.
What to send

Rust and Ivory Lily Bouquet
Some anniversaries want warmth rather than romance. This one is built from rust and ivory lilies with layered gerberas, and it is the largest piece we make in autumn colours.

Scarlet Carnation Bouquet
There are days that call for red and nothing else. This one is a dozen scarlet carnations with folded, ruffled petals, wrapped in slate and gold.

Blush and White Daisy Bouquet
Some birthdays you really want to get right. This one gathers daisies, lilies and small pearl-centred blossoms in blush and white, packed into a full round dome.

Tell us who it is for.
We reply within the hour on most days. You're not committing to anything, and we never show the price to the person receiving it.
