About 10th Wedding Anniversaries

This is the first seriously epic milestone of your married lives: the 10th wedding anniversary. Popularly known as the Tin Anniversary, it marks 10 years since you shared your wedding vows – an initial decade of cherished memories, reinforced commitments and notable stability as a married couple.

The traditional 10th anniversary gift is tin, symbolising how a successful marriage needs to be flexible and stable, and able to be bent without being broken. Tin symbolises preservation and longevity.

In the past, food was stored in tin-plated iron cans. The tin protected the iron from rust and corrosion, preserving the food inside – potentially forever.

How to Celebrate a 10th Wedding Anniversary

The added significance of this being your 10th wedding anniversary means that any celebration should be even more impressive than the nine preceding it. Clearly, a couple celebrating 10 years together have shown they have the commitment and determination to go the distance. So make sure this 10th wedding anniversary is celebrated in appropriate style.

Think about really pushing the boat out and enjoying a second honeymoon in a distant exotic destination that has been on your joint holiday bucket list for years but was never quite possible – until now.

Or perhaps return to where you spent your original honeymoon, and relive those wonderful first nights together as a married couple.

Or, for something symbolic representing 10 years of marriage, visit the tin mines of Cornwall followed by a candlelit dinner on the beach.

The flower for this particularly special occasion is the daffodil, a trumpet-shaped plant representing joy, cheerfulness, high regard, chivalry, happiness and new beginnings.

For something a little unusual, how about planting a bed of these beautiful yellow trumpets in an old tin bath – not only a gift for the day but also a timeless reminder for future years.

“Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies.”

Quoted by: Aristotle
Buy a bouquet of daffodils the traditional flower for the 10th anniversary gift.

10th Wedding Anniversary Gifts for Him, Her… and the Couple

A 10th anniversary celebration requires a suitably memorable gemstone gift, and they don’t get much more enduring and momentous than diamonds and blue sapphires – both stones representating durability and beauty.

Whether you are planning a full-on party with all the festive trimmings for friends and family, or just a serene romantic meal at home, you can theme the celebration with silver and blue colours.

Your dreams, ambitions and hopes for the future may not always be the same as your partner’s. Nevertheless, one of the great beauties of marriage is that you both live to make each other’s dreams come true. Especially after 10 years of marriage together…
