Both would look marvellous in a silver setting to capture the silver element of this anniversary year.

Traditional 16 Year Anniversary Gift Flowers

Blue glazed rose pendantA traditional staple for any anniversary year, flowers are among the most popular gifts because of their splendour and magnificence. Possibly another reason why floral gifts are so popular is because of the personal message which can be conveyed through the language of flowers. Gift givers who opt for floral gifts often like to select the traditional anniversary flower for the specific year and in the case of the 16th anniversary, the classic blossom is the statice.

Native to the Mediterranean climate, this pretty flower is also sometimes called sea foam or marsh rosemary and while it was originally only available in purple and blue hues, it has now been cultivated in other shades including pink, yellow and white. This flower can have an unfortunate meaning of remembrance, hence its frequent use in funeral wreaths, although it is generally considered to be a suitable choice for anniversary celebrations because of its alternative meaning of great success. If the negative connotations put you off however, you could always opt for a flower that has only positive associations such as the rose. Beautiful and romantic, it is a frequently chosen flower for anniversary bouquets and forms a splendid arrangement in any room to brighten the lives of any anniversary couple. If the idea of a floral gift pleases you but you would prefer to choose a gift that is more memorable and can be cherished for a lifetime, Eternity Rose have the perfect solution.

A real rose blossom, chosen for its attractive appearance and picked in its prime, each flower is carefully preserved in a luxurious glaze or dipped in precious metals for a lustrous sheen. The result is an amazing and one of a kind work of art, made by talented craftsmen in a complex handmade process, presented in its own prestigious leather case to be displayed in a cabinet or in any room of the marital home as a focal point and treasured heirloom. Available in many colours, you could select an emerald green flower as a reflection of the traditional colour of this anniversary year or even a luxurious pure silver dipped rose to capture the essence of the silver theme of the traditional 16th wedding anniversary gift.
