2nd Anniversary Flowers
|
The anniversary flower for your Second wedding anniversary gifts is the Cosmos. The name is derived from the Greek word Kosmo which is the universe due the ordered symmetry of the petals of the flower. If the Cosmos flower is given as a romantic gift you are saying; Walk with me, hand in hand and see how beautiful life is... |
The Cosmos flowers are romantic all by themselves! A great big bunch of these would brighten anyone's day and they come in lots of different colors.
Second Wedding Anniversary Garnets
The gemstone that represents your 2 year anniversary is Garnet, a lovely deep red stone and one that was a popular stone for engagement rings. Diamonds were for only the very wealthy, rubies and garnets were popular and red is the traditional color for love. Garnets were more affordable than rubies!
The meaning behind Garnets is that they attract love and soul mates and enhance your creativity.
All of the meanings behind your Second wedding anniversary gifts are beautifully romantic, it has been 2 years since you said I do and during that time you have grown as a couple. Life might not always be romantic but on your Second anniversary that is definitely the order of the day!
