At the second anniversary, though not in the first flush of romance, the fires are still burning strong.
Why not fan them and enjoy your very own private bonfire?
Flowers have always been a man’s best ally, and the perfect run-up for a great evening ahead. Have a bunch of fresh cosmos delivered to her on your special day and her smile will hold you in its warm embrace all day.
Cosmos – the 2nd Anniversary Flower
Red, white, pink or purple – the cosmos is a lovely flower and stunning in its simplicity.
Native to Central and South America, it derives its name from the Greek word for ‘harmony’ or ‘ordered universe’.
The flower was named ‘cosmos’ by the Spanish priests who grew the cosmos flower in their mission gardens in Mexico. Since the evenly-placed petals of the lovely flower reminded them of the Greek word for a balanced universe, they aptly christened the flower ‘cosmos’.
If you are in a traditional mood, opt for cotton, customarily associated with the second year celebrations of D-day. Cotton, did you say? Sure, but don’t let that fetter your imagination.
Cotton can be cosy and, yes, romantic too!
Wow her with enticing bed linen, sexy cotton lingerie, a monogrammed tee, or even adorable matching dressing gowns.
If it is pretty baubles that attract her, then make her sparkle and glitter with pendants, bracelets and earrings made of rose quartz and garnet.
2nd Anniversary Jewellery – Rose Quartz and Garnet
Rose quartz is believed to be one of the most powerful gemstones regarding love and romance. The gemstone comes in attractive shades of pale pink to a rose red hue.
Rose Quartz is hailed as the gemstone of ‘universal love’.
It is believed that wearing rose quartz jewellery will make the heart more receptive to accepting and giving love. Placing a rose quartz under your pillow adds spice to your marriage!
Garnets have been highly valued as gemstones since the Bronze Age. Ranging in colour from transparent dark-red to a vibrant green, garnet is a stone of purity and truth, love and compassion. In alternate healing, garnets are considered highly beneficial for curing blood disorders and depression.
Pamper her silly by giving her a relaxing Chinese massage and reap the benefits later!
