About 3rd Wedding Anniversaries

This being your 3^rd wedding anniversary also known as the Leather anniversary which is durable, warm, strong and flexible and shows stability in the relationship. The 3rd wedding anniversary is often when a couple is aware of their durability of their relationship.

What is the 3rd Wedding Anniversary name & Symbol?

That is why leather is the traditional gift for this celebration. For the modernists out there, the symbol is crystal glass. Crystal – Is a gentle reminder of how a couple can touch the lives of others.

3rd Wedding anniversary Gifts for Him, Her and the Couple

Both the 3rd wedding anniversary symbols of leather and crystal lend themselves to some creative interpretations. The perfect 3 year anniversary gift for your partner can be a challenge so instead of just buying a leather or crystal 3 year anniversary gift, why not go and visit the tanneries in Morocco or the glass blowers of Waterford, Ireland?

3rd anniversary flowers are the Fuchsia and the Lily of the Valley. The Fuchsia, represents humble love, good taste, and confiding love, whilst the Lily of the Valley, represents happiness and mental powers.

Colours are white, traditionally meaning innocence, but also wholeness and completeness or jade green, being the colour of growth and balance with the gemstones of Crystal, linked with healing and renewing powers or Jade, historically used to attract love.

“Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.” Quoted by: Lao Tzu

How to celebrate 3rd wedding anniversary

A 3^rd anniversary gift doesn’t have to cost the earth, it is the sentiment that counts, so an alternative would be to plan a movie night and watch your wedding video. Put together a gift basket that has a variety of Fuchsia plants, along with a pair of leather garden gloves, and a coupon on jade green paper stating your willingness to help get the small plants in the soil.
