15th Wedding Anniversary Gifts for Him, Her… and the Couple

The classic flower for a 15th wedding anniversary is the rose, while the traditional colour is red. Both are symbols of love and passion, so a bunch of 15 red roses would make the best floral gift.

A fun way of celebrating your anniversary is to book a holiday with friends. With a little research, a good hotel to accommodate everyone’s budget can be found. It is an unusual, less traditional way of spending your anniversary but becoming ever more popular. If a luxury getaway spent with just your husband or wife sounds more like your cup of tea then there are some cute and unique options out there. 

For a more low-key anniversary celebration, why not pop open a bottle of champagne and tuck into some chocolates whilst you look through your wedding album together? Guaranteed to remind you of some funny moments from the big day that had been entirely forgotten. Perhaps it will be just to have a laugh at the cheap bridesmaid dress you put your sister in or the seriously outdated hairdo your brother sported!
