Shopping For Modern And Old Fashioned 25th Wedding Anniversary Gifts
The 25th wedding anniversary is a major anniversary. It is indeed an accomplishment in this day and age for a marriage to last 25 years.
The Silver Anniversary
The 25th anniversary is considered the Silver wedding anniversary. Old fashioned silver 25th wedding anniversary gifts are best for a traditional couple. When you're deciding to get a modern gift or an old fashioned 25th wedding anniversary gift, think about the couple for whom you are buying the gift. What kind of decorating style have they created in their home? How do they dress? If they seem to enjoy conservative, traditional things, then you definitely want to get them an old fashioned 25th wedding anniversary gift.
Silver Gift Ideas
Silver jewelry can be adapted for a wedding anniversary by purchasing his-and-her silver link bracelets. Purchasing his-and-her watches with silver bands, or silver link necklaces, is another way to use silver in an old fashioned 25th wedding anniversary gift.
Silver accessories for the home are popular in a timeless way. After all, accessorizing a room means adding color, texture, and sheen to the basic furnishings. A silver accessory adds all three. A silver candlestick or candelabra, for instance, adds the color of silver plus any other colors that are reflected; it adds a smooth, metallic texture to the room, and of course the rich sheen of silver will make any room sparkle.
A very old fashioned 25th wedding anniversary gift would be a silver plate engraved with the couple's names, wedding date, and anniversary date. For the right couple, this kind of traditional keepsake will be displayed and treasured.
A silver picture frame is another silver accessory that makes an excellent old fashioned 25th anniversary gift that fits into any interior decorating style. A black-and-white picture of the couple fitted to the frame adds a special touch to this gift.
Other Old Fashioned 25th Wedding Anniversary Gift Ideas
Personalized gifts are all the rage these days. One of the most charming personalized wedding anniversary gifts available is a "Memory Lane" art print, created just for the anniversary couple, and memorializing their life together in a series of storefronts on a small town street. Names of the "stores" reflect places where the couple met or lived. Pets the couple have owned, and their children, are tucked into doorways. Cars, motorcycles, golf carts, and travel homes that the couple have owned or traveled in are parked along the curb. Choose a three-building print, a five-building print, or an eight-building print for the anniversary couple. After all, nothing is more old fashioned than memories!
