  • Jewelry is a universal gift for anniversaries and anniversaries. A woman will be delighted with a chic sapphire ring with diamonds, and a man who loves suits should like original cufflinks with these stones. If the wedding is celebrated in the first month of autumn, such a gift will be doubly appreciated, since sapphire is the stone of those born in September.
  • Shades of blue will always be in fashion, so you can give suitable clothes to anniversaries. A tie and suit for a man, a dress or sundress for a woman, cute pajamas for both.
  • If the celebrating couple does not have a beautiful blue service, it's time to give it to them.
  • For avid gardeners and those who have a dacha, seedlings of some blue plant or flower will be a good gift: give your spouses a periwinkle or blueberry.
  • Guests of the celebration can think about gifts such as bathrobes, blankets, blankets, bedding sets, towels or curtains.

The blue color symbolizes not only flowers and precious stones, but also water, so for 45 years of marriage, you can give things that are somehow connected with water. You can embody such ideas in the following gifts: an aquarium with fish, a beautiful small fountain, bathroom items.

  • To impress the newlyweds and guests of the event, order from the master or make yourself a large printed patchwork quilt. You can sew on photos of all family members or only spouses at different periods of their lives.
  • Photos are a wonderful gift for a wedding. If you don't want to make a quilt, consider a photo album of your most significant moments or a collage. Or maybe it would be a good idea to shoot a small family video and show it on the big screen during the celebration?

After 45 years of marriage, a special holiday is celebrated on the wedding anniversary - a sapphire wedding. The name of the anniversary was not accidental. After all, for as many as 45 years - almost half a century! - not every couple can maintain feelings of trust, love and affection. That is why the anniversary was named after the precious stone. As you know, different countries have their own names for memorable wedding dates, but this anniversary is called the name of sapphire not only in Russia, but also in Scandinavian countries, the USA, England and a number of others.

Sapphire and its properties reflected in traditions

The anniversary got its name not only because such a long family life and the feelings that made it possible to live these years can be called a real treasure. Much is connected with the properties and characteristics of the stone itself.

Five years before this day, the couple celebrate a ruby ​​wedding. Both of these stones are precious, but unlike the red dark ruby sapphire has a blue color and attracts with its beauty, purity and transparency. So are the feelings of the anniversaries - what purity they must have in order to allow the two to live together for such a long time! Relations are now also painted in a different color - light, heavenly. Spouses after this anniversary are unlikely to be able to leave, they will not even have such a thought. Previously, people believed that pure sapphire had the ability to open dungeons and release captives from imprisonment. This is most likely not the case, but it is true that this beautiful stone has a very strong positive energy. In addition, it can partially remove the negative effects of stress and purify. Sapphire also enables people wearing products with it to maintain sharp eyesight, excellent hearing, clarity of mind for a long time and greatly enhance intuition. At the age at which this holiday is usually celebrated, which is 65-70 years old, people actually need such “support”. The purity of spiritual thoughts associated with this stone adds strength and helps a person to avoid many negative situations, including deceit and lies. With these properties, traditional rites and customs are associated, which are present in abundance at the holiday.

Traditions

A lot can be attributed to traditions, in particular, congratulations from children, relatives and colleagues, certain gifts that are customary to give to anniversaries and which they present to each other, some rituals held on this day, the celebration itself.

Rites-traditions

The most important and necessary in the scenario of this holiday is the ritual of purification. This action can be understood and performed differently by everyone. There are no clear rules, so there are many options.

For example, joint visit of the spouses to the bath. At the same time, it does not matter at all which bathhouse to go to - the national Russian or Turkish hammam. The result will be the same - by cleansing the body and relaxing, a person can also cleanse the soul. General cleansing can be started in advance so as to be completed by this day. If spouses try to eat right, then diet or therapeutic fasting will also be a kind of cleansing. The most common is the third variation of this rite. It lies in the fact that anniversaries right from the very morning appoint a kind of "forgiveness Sunday". It is known that the most difficult thing is to get rid of spiritual, long-standing and almost already forgotten grievances, which at the most inopportune moment for this can remind of themselves. Old worries and resentments can make life very difficult for everyone around you. It is advisable to prepare for this “forgiveness Sunday” in advance, because on this day, they not only forgive each other for everything, but also ask for forgiveness for what they did earlier. You need to remember even that for which you have already managed to justify yourself before, some little things like the absence of congratulations on your birthday twenty-five years ago. This will certainly please your soulmate. Despite how difficult it is sometimes to ask for forgiveness, it is definitely worth doing, because the symbol of this day is the sapphire, which represents liberation and purification.

Another fairly common option is closest to the definition of "rite". This remission of sins and cleansing through the church. Regardless of the religion in each temple, a clergyman can help with this. You just need to decide on such a difficult act and turn to the temple. Blue and cyan is the color of the sky and water. One of the very important traditions on this day is decorating the premises where the celebration is held with blue accessories and decorating the same color with fabrics.

celebration

This day is worth spending with loved ones:

  • children, grandchildren, even, perhaps, already great-grandchildren;
  • other relatives with whom warm relations are invariably maintained;
  • close and beloved friends who for many years together were close and participated in the life of the family.

The holiday will still turn out to be magnificent and crowded, because for such a long period of time a married couple manages to acquire a lot of people who must be invited. Of course, this does not mean at all that only these three categories can be present at the celebration itself. At this age, a man and a woman can still work. Colleagues at work after this will become even closer to the heroes of the day. The number of invitees may also depend on the status of the anniversaries themselves. Famous and respected people are sometimes simply forced to invite a very large number of people.

Anniversaries are supposed to meet guests with some blue accessories or details of clothing. The “bride” can even wear a blue dress, and the “groom” a blue shirt.

Spouses gifts

One of the most important traditions for a couple associated with this anniversary is the process of presenting gifts to each other. Updated wedding rings are solemnly put on by the spouses just before the start of the holiday before the facilitator starts seating the guests. This update consists in the fact that the rings are decorated with sapphires. Therefore, it is worth taking care in advance to find the right masters. As already mentioned, sapphire and jewelry with it bring warmth and purity to relationships. In addition, the constant wearing of even a small sapphire improves well-being, vision with hearing and intuition, which is especially important at a not too young age.

How can you celebrate

On this day from early morning get rid of all negative thoughts, tune in to good and kind. Even if the husband and wife are sleeping in different rooms by this time, it is advisable to meet this morning together in order to say goodbye to this day together in the evening. The first half of the day is devoted to the spouses only to each other- a morning walk, a joint visit to the temple, the sacrament of remission of sins and forgiveness. It is better to spend the main part of the celebration not in a cramped apartment, but in a large room. It's great if there is a dacha and the weather is good, then all the invitees will definitely have enough space. If not, then you can spend a holiday in a banquet hall. It is advisable to invite a leader. Firstly, he knows exactly how to entertain guests of very different ages at the same time. Secondly, it will certainly be difficult for the anniversaries themselves to spend the holiday on their own. You can make a pleasant surprise to your guests by presenting a blue flower to everyone who comes. Doing this at the beginning or end of the celebration depends on how long the banquet is planned to be.

Anniversary Sapphire Wedding Gifts

Separately, you need to talk about gifts.


The main condition for a successful holiday on the occasion of the 45th anniversary of living together is the tender and pure feelings carried by the husband and wife through the decades!

A sapphire wedding is a unique celebration that requires the "newlyweds" to have 45 years of marriage. Of course, such an anniversary is worthy of being a sapphire, because it reflects all the beauty and preciousness of this stone. Therefore, it is important to know how this event is held, what to present for a sapphire wedding and how to look?

Sapphire is an unsurpassed symbol of the wisdom that spouses have already acquired over many years of life. He also talks about the ability to restrain outbursts of emotions that interfere with the correct solution of difficult situations. The gemstone speaks of the courage and strength to make the right decisions and boldly implement them in life. In addition, sapphire has a beneficial effect on health, and this is the most important thing for the “newlyweds”.

It is worth paying attention to this fact: the sapphire anniversary is celebrated after the ruby ​​one, which marks the 40th anniversary of the couple's life together. This suggests that over an additional 5 years, the relationship between spouses changes noticeably from bright red, meaning passion, to blue, which marks unsurpassed peace and harmony. Of course, this does not mean that the spouses began to love each other less, but it testifies to the inviolability of their love and now nothing can destroy their marriage.

How to celebrate a sapphire wedding?

A sapphire wedding means a wide banquet and a magnificent celebration. It should be invited to those who all this time faithfully maintained relations with the "newlyweds". They will certainly be happy to congratulate the perpetrators of the anniversary on such a wonderful event. However, the budgetary possibilities of anniversaries should be taken into account. In most cases, a couple at this age cannot always afford to throw a "feast for the whole world." Therefore, children and grandchildren can take an active part in organizing the celebration in order to adequately congratulate their parents on such a solid date.

Of course, the outfits for this anniversary should be in accordance with the theme, namely in blue shades. It is desirable that the decorations and decoration of the feast hall be decorated in blue or blue. Think carefully about the shades of curtains, dishes and tablecloths so that everything is in perfect harmony with each other.

So, the hall has been prepared and the anniversaries are also ready for the celebration. And what to give for a sapphire wedding. Consider the best gift options for a sapphire anniversary.

Preparing gifts for a sapphire wedding

If you are preparing a gift, then it should be chic. Why? Yes, because such an anniversary can be once in a lifetime. Therefore, you should choose a gift that can be useful, meaningful or expensive. You should not stop only at pendants and bracelets made of sapphire or blue stone. You can buy gifts that will be in accordance with the theme and will bring an unforgettable experience to the anniversaries.

It is important to know! Jewels and ornaments for parents are bought by children and relatives. Invited guests give sets of dishes, towels, bed linen and other similar nice little things in blue tones.

Traditional Presents

Children and grandchildren of anniversaries always want to celebrate the 45th anniversary of their life together with special pomp. Of course, I want to congratulate the heroes of the occasion in a special way, so that they remember this event until their old age. To do this, you need to prepare not just a traditional gift, but a unique surprise. It should be filled with special symbols that would perfectly suit the theme of such an event.

And how about a beautiful piece of jewelry with sapphires? At first glance - wow! However, your parents have been together for 45 years and such an anniversary simply requires difficult trinkets.

By tradition, sapphire rings are exchanged and given to each other by the heroes of the occasion themselves.

Therefore, when choosing jewelry and jewelry, it is necessary to choose pendants, watches, earrings, bracelets and other items with sapphires. And why not choose a brooch for mom, and a figurine for dad? Or maybe choose some figurine, decorated with an expensive stone? These are all great ideas that you can easily use.

A budget option for such a gift can be jewelry made with blue rhinestones. Or gather all around to give the anniversaries at least one, but an expensive present with a real sapphire. Such a gift will not leave them indifferent.

Children and relatives can give items related to water for the anniversary. The blue color resembles the sea, ocean expanse of peaceful and good relations between spouses. Their feelings must be as deep as a bottomless well and as high as the blue sky. Such symbolism provides an immense space for ideas that can be embodied in presentations.

Water theme can be expressed in such gifts:

  • New amenities for the bathroom: shower, sink, bathtub.
  • Devices for watering a personal plot.
  • Double rubber boat.
  • Decorative fountain in the summer garden.
  • Aquarium with beautiful fish.

And what is left to give guests? The choice is so great that it remains only to decide what exactly you like:

  • Plaid.
  • Bathrobes.
  • Towels.
  • Bed dress.
  • Curtains.

It is important that everything be in pleasant blue or blue tones, similar to the color of sapphires.

Original ideas for presentations

Fans of something original will need to turn on their imagination and stretch their imagination. A sapphire wedding opens up every possibility for this, because there can be just a lot of ideas in blue tones.

For example, you can use the following original sketches:

  • Unusual souvenir. Weaving, forged product, decorated with sapphires.
  • Painting, portrait, cartoon. Such a gift can be made to order or with your own hands.
  • Photo album, photo frame. Select the best photos and decorate them beautifully in Photoshop.
  • An embroidered tablecloth, handkerchiefs or a picture. It can be cross-stitch, stitch.
  • Porcelain service or set of dishes. Definitely in blue!
  • Aquarium with blue fish.
  • A ticket to a sanatorium or a subscription to the pool.
  • Health care products with healing sea salt or minerals.

For a sapphire lady, you can buy flowers in blue tones. It doesn't have to be cut daisies or tulips. You can buy potted flowers: orchids, irises, crocuses or hyacinths.

To the general decor, you can give a large vase with a charming pattern, lines, patterns or blurry motifs.

And, of course, the biggest gift will be your warm wishes, which will assure the anniversaries of your unchanging love for them. Prepare words of congratulations in the form of poems, an original musical postcard. This will warm the celebration and fill it with truly pure, enduring sapphire love.

The forty-fifth anniversary of living together is an excellent date, the anniversaries of which have long proved to each other and others the sincerity of their feelings and the boundlessness of love and devotion. Undoubtedly, such love rightfully deserves sincere respect and the date is worthy to bear the name identical to the name of a noble gem - sapphire. About what kind of wedding 45 years of marriage and what traditions this date is endowed with, we will be happy to share with readers in our article.

To live in a legal marriage side by side with a loved one in fidelity, you need to be strong, loyal, wise, concessive and loving person. Without a set of positive qualities, it is hard to stay close to a partner for so many years. 45 years of marriage is not in vain called a sapphire wedding, since it is this jewel that has long been considered a stone of wisdom. Our ancestors believed that the stone was endowed with the power to restrain the emotions of people, often preventing them from considering the situation in the right way. The stone helped the owner to make the only true and right decision.

It is interesting that the predecessor of the date - a ruby ​​wedding - is 40 years old, the personification of which is a passionate and brightly scarlet stone. It is generally accepted that these five years are able to take a married couple to a new level, calming their ardor a little and bringing peace and tranquility to their life together. Just like relationships, the stone changes its color from a passionate and aggressive red to a calm, peaceful and deep blue. Many will think that love itself cools down during this period of time, but no. Colors symbolize the transition of relations to a new level and a permanent strengthened status.

Celebration traditions

45 years of marriage cannot be ignored. At the same time, it is necessary to arrange a celebration, starting from the financial aspect. Not all spouses can afford a magnificent celebration in an expensive restaurant with numerous guests and a slide of champagne. But it is impossible not to celebrate the holiday at all. Such an anniversary is organized for a narrow circle of people. Often these are children and grandchildren of anniversaries, close relatives and true friends. It is rare to meet strangers on a wedding anniversary. All guests are very important and significant persons in the life of the "young". If parents do not have enough opportunities to organize a celebration in a restaurant or cafe, children should try to provide parents with such an opportunity. It is very important to celebrate the forty-fifth anniversary of living together, experiencing the same emotions as on the wedding day, making sure that the decision was made correctly.

Anniversaries and guests should dress in shades of blue, reminiscent of the color of the precious stone - sapphire. But you should not withstand this particular style, shades of blue and aqua will be beautifully combined. At the same time, not only the guests of the evening, but the heroes of the occasion wear blue. Tablecloths, napkins, table setting elements, curtains in the hall and other accessories and decorations are also designed in a single palette.


Another interesting tradition that not all anniversaries follow. If the groom put on the bride a ring with a stone for the wedding, it is customary to change it along with the change of wedding anniversaries. So, for example, for a ruby ​​wedding, the gemstone of the ring is replaced by a ruby, and for a sapphire wedding, the ruby ​​is replaced by a noble sapphire. It is worth noting that not all couples have engagement rings with stones, so the tradition can be ignored in such cases.
