About 45th Wedding Anniversaries

What is the 45th wedding anniversary name & symbol?

Congratulations on your 45th wedding anniversary. This is one of the biggest milestones you can achieve and you’re only another five years from your half century together, but this occasion is equally as important. You were obviously made for each other and your love and devotion deserves to be celebrated.

“Two souls with but a single thought, two hearts that beat as one”.
Quoted by: Friedrich Halm

What is 45th wedding anniversary gift for Him, Her & Parents?

Sapphire is the gem associated with the 45th wedding anniversary and whilst everyone recognises the blue sapphire there are many colours to choose from. Some traces of other elements can affect the colour and there have been many sapphires that are green, orange, purple, pink and even yellow. So, if you’re in the running to buy a sapphire but your spouse doesn’t like blue then fear not.

The other gemstone that is sometimes associated with the 45th wedding anniversary is alexandrite which is just as beautiful as sapphire and equally as rare, either jewel would make the perfect gift.

The flower for the 45th anniversary is the blue iris, symbolising faith and hope. A bouquet of these beautiful proud flowers will be a perfect expression of your love.

You could break with tradition and make that bouquet of flowers out of your own traditional flower. Theme your gift on the colour of blue sapphire, party with blue and silver balloons, gift that keeps giving, charity donations or buy from an ethical company that supports free trade.
