About 15th Wedding Anniversaries

The years are starting to add up in quite impressive fashion as you celebrate your 15th wedding anniversary. Clearly, your lives together are bringing you enduring joy, love and respect – so congratulations on reaching another important marriage milestone.

According to wedding anniversary traditions, this 15-year celebration is highlighted by a crystal theme. Representative of the deep personal investment a couple have made in their marriage, crystal also symbolises clarity and transparency.

How to Celebrate a 15th Wedding Anniversary

There are many options available for you to commemorate your 15th anniversary in crystal, as numerous cut-glass crystal vases, bowls and glasses are readily available. As this is another hugely significant anniversary, perhaps an ornamental bowl or vase would be the ideal gift option.

Gemstones for the 15th wedding anniversary are traditionally crystal or a modern-day alternative of alexandrite. The latter is an extraordinary stone with chameleon-like qualities – commonly described as being “emerald by day and ruby by night”.  

Both gems can be found in exquisite necklaces, rings, bracelets, earrings, cufflinks and tie pins – all great gifts to treasure for many years to come.

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