An anniversary is the one gift date you cannot claim to have forgotten, and the one where the same bouquet three years running starts to say something you didn't mean. This page covers the traditional flower for each milestone year, what the colour of a rose actually signals, and what to send when you want it to look like you thought about it.
Anniversary years have flowers attached to them the same way they have materials, paper for the first, silver for the twenty-fifth. The convention is Victorian in origin and lists vary in the details, but the milestone years are widely agreed on. Sending the right one is a small piece of thoughtfulness that costs nothing extra.
| Year | Traditional flower | What it signals |
|---|---|---|
| 1st | Carnation | Young, fresh devotion |
| 5th | Daisy | Loyalty and cheerfulness |
| 10th | Daffodil | Renewal after a decade |
| 15th | Rose | Deep, settled love |
| 25th | Iris | Faith and valued friendship |
| 30th | Lily | Devotion and dignity |
| 50th | Yellow rose & violet | A lifetime of companionship |
We carry roses, lilies, carnations and tulips as standing lines. The less common ones, iris, daffodil, violet, are seasonal and worth asking about a few days ahead rather than assuming. If the traditional flower isn't available, most people would rather have a beautiful bouquet than a technically correct one.
Roses make up more than half our anniversary range, and the colour carries more meaning than the count does. Getting it wrong rarely offends, but getting it right reads as deliberate.
Unambiguous romantic love. The safe choice for a partner and the wrong choice for anyone else. If you have sent red every year and want to signal something beyond the default, this is the one to move away from.
Affection, gratitude and admiration, warmer and gentler than red. Works especially well for earlier anniversaries and for couples whose style is understated rather than grand.
Reverence and new beginnings. Strongly associated with weddings, which makes it a considered choice for an anniversary. You are echoing the day itself rather than repeating a Valentine's gesture.
Reads as designed rather than symbolic. A good option when you want the bouquet to look expensive and modern rather than to make a statement about colour meaning. Most of these are built with baby's breath behind the feature blooms, which is what gives them their volume.
Our full breakdown of rose colour meanings covers the rest, including the colours worth avoiding.
We carry 31 bouquets suitable for anniversaries, from $88 to $268. The bulk of the range sits just under $120.
| Price | What you get | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| $59 – $68 | Compact single-variety hand bouquet, a rose wrap or small mixed posy | Early anniversaries, low-key couples |
| $98 – $118 | Full mixed bouquets and flower boxes with a feature bloom and foliage. Half our anniversary range sits here | Most anniversaries, the usual choice |
| $129 – $158 | Larger arrangements with a wider flower mix and more structured design | Fifth, tenth and other round numbers |
| $188+ | Premium arrangements with imported feature flowers | Twenty-fifth, fiftieth, and making up for last year |
Our affordable flowers page explains what actually changes between these bands.
Anniversaries are fixed dates, so order two to three days ahead. Unlike a birthday gift that can arrive whenever, the date here is the whole point. Ordering early also means you get the specific flower or colour you wanted rather than what happens to be in stock.
Same-day still works if it crept up on you. Order before 2 PM and we deliver the same day, anywhere in Singapore, for a flat $15.
Watch the peak dates. If your anniversary falls near Valentine's Day, 520 Day or Qixi, order further ahead than usual. Those are the busiest days in the Singapore flower calendar and premium roses go first.
Cut-off times and coverage are on our same-day delivery page.
Every bouquet on this page, from the entry option upward, gets the same treatment.
Our flower care guide covers keeping the bouquet alive well past the day itself.
Anniversary bouquets in Singapore generally run from around $59 to $270 depending on size and flower choice. CocoFlora anniversary bouquets start at $59, with most of our range sitting between $98 and $118. Gift wrapping and a personalised message card are included, and delivery is a flat $15 island-wide.
Each year has a traditional flower: carnation for the first, daisy for the fifth, daffodil for the tenth, rose for the fifteenth, iris for the twenty-fifth, lily for the thirtieth, and yellow roses with violets for the fiftieth. Roses work for any year if you would rather not follow the list.
There is no fixed rule, and colour carries more meaning than count. A dozen is the recognised romantic standard, but many couples send a number matching the years together, which reads as more personal for milestone anniversaries.
Two to three days ahead, since the date is fixed and some blooms are sourced to order. Order further ahead if your anniversary falls near Valentine's Day, 520 Day or Qixi, which are the busiest dates in the Singapore flower calendar.
Yes. Order before 2 PM and we deliver the same day anywhere in Singapore for a flat $15. You'll receive WhatsApp updates so you know exactly when the bouquet arrives.
Red for unambiguous romantic love, pink for affection and gratitude, and white for reverence and a nod to the wedding day itself. Mixed and blush tones read as designed rather than symbolic, which suits couples who prefer something modern.
