How many roses should I send for our anniversary?

Tradition matches the count to the year: 11 roses for the first anniversary, 25 for the silver, 50 for the gold. Odd counts read as personal and singular, even counts as classically romantic. If you would rather skip the count and lead with presentation, a dense 24-rose hand-tied bouquet says enduring love at any milestone. Tell us the year and we will help you choose.

What colour roses are right for which anniversary year?

Red is the classic, year after year. Pink suits early milestones for softness and admiration. Lavender and white work for a quieter, more reflective anniversary. For 25 years, white-and-silver palettes feel intentional; for 50, deep golds and reds. At Aiwa Flowers we keep the colour story tight, usually two tones, so the bouquet looks composed rather than mixed.

Can you arrange a surprise anniversary delivery?

Yes, and we treat it as a private brief. Tell us the time window, who opens the door, and whether the recipient should know it is coming. Our courier coordinates discreetly, the card stays sealed, and we send the video approval to you, not the recipient. Same-day works for orders placed before 4 PM Dubai, otherwise we lock in the next-day slot.

Hand-tied bouquet or arrangement in a vase?

A hand-tied bouquet is the right choice when you want the moment of giving — flowers handed over wrapped, then placed in a vase at home. A vase or box arrangement is better when she is at the office, traveling, or you want the gift to be display-ready on arrival with no setup. Both formats use the same stems from our daily Dutch import.
