Pansy It Is For Her Landmark 1st Anniversary

Do I hear you exclaim in amazement, “Pansy?!” Yes, if it is flowers that do it for her, then pansies are flowers that fit the bill for this landmark 1st wedding anniversary. Not red roses, although you can give them too, if you want! But if you are the sort of bloke who likes to live by the rules, then yes, pansy is your flower. You’ll soon come to know why in a minute.

Pansy, a derivative of the French ‘pensie’ (that means ‘remembrance’) is a lovely flower and was actually a main ingredient of an ancient Celtic love potion! We Brits have called it ‘heartsease’ because – believe it or not – it was believed to cure love problems!

By covering the symbolism and mythicism surrounding the flowers and gemstones, we give you that little story to tell. That little extra that makes it extra special.

Besides the new content, new formatting makes picking the key points of the previous information and ideas all the more easier. We hope you can get to the facts faster now!
