About 27th Wedding Anniversaries
There are no traditional symbols commemorating the 27th wedding anniversary – but that is no reason to be deterred. Twenty-seven years is an impressively long time to be married, and fully justifies a stylish and memorable celebration.
It is also a great time to be as sentimental, funny, abstract or romantic as you feel like being. No constraints: your 27th wedding anniversary is the ideal day for you to say – and demonstrate – exactly what you feel about your marriage. In a positive and nice way, of course.
As this is popularly known as the Sculpture Anniversary – with no traditional colours, flowers or gems (just modern-day ideas) associated with the 27th wedding anniversary – an excellent gift choice is a sculptural piece that will become a valued addition to your home.

How to Celebrate a 27th Wedding Anniversary
Now is the perfect time to visit Rome and enjoy a romantic break while viewing all the magnificent sculptures that adorn this beautiful city.
Alternatively, you could take some sculpture lessons together during a weekend getaway, and artistically re-create a lasting image from your first date or initial wedding anniversary celebration.
If you do plan a romantic weekend away, accompany it with 27 roses, 27 hugs and kisses… and 27 reasons to stay married for another 27 years. After nearly three decades of marriage, spending quality time together alone may be the best anniversary gift possible for many couples. Family and friends will understand.
Even though there are no specific traditional gift options for the 27th wedding anniversary, you can still look for something that touches the heart.
Modern gift ideas for the 27th wedding anniversary feature music as well as sculptures, while generic gifts that are always an excellent choice for anniversaries include flowers, jewellery and furniture – or a moonlit dinner or romantic picnic.
Moonlight is sculpture; sunlight is painting.” Quoted by: Nathaniel Hawthorne
27th Wedding anniversary Gifts for Him & Her… and Parents
The couple celebrating their anniversary might already be avid collectors of figurines or pottery, so consider adding to their collection.
Or, if celebrating your own 27th wedding anniversary, perhaps start a new collection together. Otherwise, treat each other to a luxury spa day – always a winner.
Theme your parents’ gift around sculpture. It does not have to be an expensive gift: sculpture lessons at a craft centre would make a wonderful personal gift, or handmade figurines or pots from a local artisan.
If you think music or a sculpture won’t match their interests and tastes, give careful thought to other ideas that would be more appropriate for the happy couple.
