What Are the Traditional & Modern Gifts For A 19th Anniversary?

Why are Traditional & Modern Gifts a Thing in the First Place?

While the verdict is still kind of out on how the whole “specific-gifts-for-specific-anniversaries” thing came to be, we know for sure the custom became popular in Victorian times.

Why? Probably for a bunch of reasons, not the least of which being that many Victorians were pretty pessimistic when it came to issues of love, marriage, and all the fun stuff that comes with it.

When marriage for love gradually became more common than marriages of convenience, anniversary gifts commemorating each year a couple had been together grew in popularity as important symbols of long-termcommitment.

Because a marriage for love wouldn’t have as much sticking power as marriage for, let’s say, money or status, they needed to prove to the world that a couple was legit.

They may have been prudish, but those Victorians sure were romantic.

Modern and Traditional 19th Anniversary Gift: Bronze

Coming in at number one, it’s no stretch to see why bronze is both the traditional and modern gift of choice for a 19th wedding anniversary. Versatile and beautiful, this metal is an excellent medium for everything from art to jewelry to kitchen tools. Not to mention it’s a perfect option for both men and women.

19th Anniversary Flower: Chrysanthemum

Chrysanthemums are such a great flower to represent the 19th anniversary because of their resilience! Hardy mums do best in the chilly months of October and November and can gracefully withstand a light freeze to come back even prettier after. We’ll let you connect the symbolism for yourself.

19th Anniversary Gemstone: Aquamarine

Dreamy aquamarine is the official gemstone of 19 years! Its color represents calm and serenity for many of us: traits reminiscent of a long-lasting marriage. Maybe. Ok, calm and serenity is a tall order – no pressure.
