About 4th Wedding Anniversaries

A 4th wedding anniversary marks four years of marriage. This milestone is known by different names and traditions in the UK and USA.

In the USA, the 4th anniversary is called the Fruit and Flowers Anniversary. Popular gifts are fresh fruit or flowers, or linen items decorated with fruit or floral patterns.

In the UK, the 4th anniversary is known as the Linen and Silk Anniversary. Traditional gifts are linen or silk items, representing a couple’s blossoming partnership after 4 years together. Popular gifts are silk or linen clothing, bedding, or table linens.

In both countries, the 4th anniversary is associated with lasting beauty and grace. Symbolic flowers are hydrangeas and geraniums. No matter the gift, the 4th anniversary is a meaningful milestone representing devotion, happiness, and endurance.

How to Celebrate a 4th Wedding Anniversary

The 4th wedding anniversary offers wonderful opportunities to celebrate your devoted partnership. For gift inspiration, consider traditional symbols like fruit, flowers, linen or silk. Modern takes include appliances, electronics, or experiences shared as a couple.

Make the day special by visiting a local farm or orchard to pick fresh fruit, then enjoy a picnic lunch paired with wine. The symbolic colors of blue and green suggest celebrating outdoors – go for a hike, have a backyard barbecue, or spend the day at the beach.

Most importantly, focus on quality time together reflecting on your 4 years of marriage. Cook a favorite meal, exchange heartfelt letters, or curl up to watch your wedding video. Simple gestures that highlight your lasting love are the best gifts of all.
