About 6th Wedding Anniversaries

For your 6th wedding anniversary, you have now well and truly passed the newlywed stage and are comfortably settled into married life.

This celebration is symbolised by candy. As candy is to taste, so romance is to marriage: sugary sweet.

The calla lily is the symbolic 6th wedding anniversary flower. In the language of flowers, calla lilies represent magnificent beauty and blend brilliantly with the colour theme of white for your 6th wedding anniversary. They do really look great together.

How to Celebrate a 6th Wedding Anniversary

Celebrating your sixth year of marriage is a perfect time to rekindle the flames of love and passion that brought the two of you together in the first place.

Sugar is a theme you can use for your anniversary – quite literally. You could bake a cake for your partner, or surprise them on your anniversary morning with some delicious breakfast biscuits.

There might also be a favourite childhood sweet they once told you they especially loved, so see if you can find it in a local shop – or online (well in advance of the special date).

All you need is love. But a little chocolate now and then doesn’t hurt.” Quoted by Charles Schulz

6th Wedding Anniversary Gifts for Him, Her… and the Couple

In older times, iron also symbolised the 6th wedding anniversary.  It is a strong and sturdy metal that brings good luck – so may good fortune shine on your marriage all the days of your life.

The problem is that, after five anniversaries, you have possibly already spoiled each other with the most memorable gifts you can conjure up, and you are now struggling to keep them creative and fresh.

As always, a useful starting point for coming up with exceptional gift ideas is to refer to the themes and symbols of each anniversary as a guide. An attractive wooden box full of all your partner’s favourite sweets and chocolate, for example, would make a wonderfully sweet gift (in both senses of the word).
