Traditional 6th Anniversary Theme for Gifts: United States: Iron; United Kingdom: Candy
As iron is famous for its strength, it holds a significance of durability and luck for the couple's future.
Candy, on the other hand, reflects the sweet nature of the union, and gives the pair the chance to experience again the passion of their earliest days.
Modern 6th Anniversary Theme for Gifts: Wood
Wood's solidity represents a marriage that is strong and stable. It also reflects the wisdom that a couple develop, allowing them to forgive each other their mistakes.
Gemstone: Amethyst
Alternate Stone: Turquoise or Garnet
Colour: Turquoise, White or Purple
Floral Theme: Calla Lily, **Purple or White Rose
The beauty of the calla lily is associated with purity and faith in the Christian religion, however the Romans believed that its long stalk reflected sexuality and lust. Combining these two qualities is the perfect reflection of a happy marriage with romance and desire at its heart.
**The purple or white rose is a romantic alternative for this anniversary, in keeping with the colour theme, and the symbol of eternal love that a rose represents.
