About 4th Wedding Anniversaries

A 4th wedding anniversary is popularly known as the Linen and Silk Anniversary, representing a couple’s blossoming partnership. To mark this fourth year of marriage, linen or silk clothing for individuals or bedding are an appropriate and meaningful gift. Symbolic flowers are the geranium (meaning gentility) and the hydrangea, because of its enduring grace and beauty.

For 4th wedding anniversary gift inspiration, look to both traditional and modern symbols that are associated with four years of marriage. If you prefer to celebrate in other ways, why not visit a local fruit farm and spend the day picking fruit followed by a picnic with wine.

The symbolic colours of this anniversary are blue or green, so spending the day together outdoors would be a fitting and extremely appropriate celebration.

Love is a fruit in season at all times, and within reach of every hand.“ Quoted by: Mother Theresa

4th Wedding Anniversary Gifts for Him, Her… and the Couple

Gemstones associated with this anniversary are blue topaz and blue zircon – both signifying romance and commitment.

A piece of jewellery or an ornament in the shape of fruit or flowers is an excellent idea if you would like to treat your partner to something that is both special in this current celebratory moment and a wonderful keepsake for the future. Gemstones can often be found in fruit and flower designs, while brooches and earrings are also great 4th wedding anniversary gifts.

The modern alternative is electrical appliances, certainly a welcome gift if some of yours are getting old or worn out after four years, and need replacing. Nevertheless, when choosing an appliance as an anniversary gift, it is always best to opt for something that is more of a luxury item than a necessity.

A cutting-edge coffee machine is an excellent 4th anniversary gift idea. Choose a retro or modern design to blend in with your home décor.
