Wedding Anniversaries: 1st to 5th

1st Wedding Anniversary – Paper

Your First Wedding Anniversary is traditionally represented by paper as a new marriage is like a blank sheet of paper and is still delicate.

Some gift ideas to celebrate your First Wedding Anniversary are, perhaps, a restaurant voucher, a favourtie book or tickets to see a band or show.

Or maybe a Nouveau Gift Voucher?

2nd Wedding Anniversary – Cotton

A Second Wedding Anniversary is symbolised by cotton. This signifies that the threads of your shared lives are becoming ever-more interwoven, like the weaving of cotton.

Co-ordinating dressing gowns or maybe a romantic stay in a hotel with luxurious cotton sheets could make a perfect gift!

3rd Wedding Anniversary – Leather

Leather is perceived to be a protective layer against bad weather so for your Third Wedding Anniversary leather represents security and shelter and leather is also long-lasting, as your marriage will be.

Gifts for your Third Wedding Anniversary could include a wallet or purse, a watch with leather strap or a beautiful leather handbag.

We do have a small selection of leather jewellery in store.

4th Wedding Anniversary – Fruit & Flowers

Your Fourth Wedding Anniversary is symbolised by fruit and/or flowers to signify that your marriage is blossoming and ripening so flowers or maybe a fruit basket would be an ideal gift. Or push the boat out with a piece of floral designed jewellery!

5th Wedding Anniversary – Wood

Wood is the symbol for your Fifth Wedding Anniversary as trees represent strength, wisdom and time – all things your solid marriage has. Trees also have roots and at 5 years your marriage is now deeply rooted.

Traditional gift ideas for your Fifth Wedding Anniversary could include wooden love spoons or a bottle of wine in a beautiful presentation box. Nouveau have a range of beauitful "Tree of Life" jewellery which may just fit the bill too.
