28th year wedding anniversary

The 28th year wedding anniversary might not have many traditional items or symbols attached to it, but it’s your special day between you and your partner as you’re heading onto almost 30 years together and that calls for a celebration. When you’re thinking of what to get for a 28th year wedding anniversary gift, we have a wide range of items to choose from and as you have free reign for the 28th year wedding anniversary then you can really buy your partner something they’ve always wanted or will cherish for many years to come.

Other wedding anniversary years have certain materials, flowers, gemstones and even modern day symbols but the only item that the 28th anniversary has is the orchid flower. Orchids are stunning flowers that grow in all different ways and have a myriad of shapes, sizes, colours and looks. One thing is consistent across the 25,000 species of orchids and that is they are beautiful to look at and your partner will adore her new orchid. They can come in hanging baskets and their roots hang down to collect moisture, or they grow submerged in water and have the most vibrant of coloured petals. Whichever types or species of orchid you buy, your partner will fall in love with it.

As mentioned, there are no gemstones or traditional materials associated with the 28th wedding anniversary but take some hints from other years and buy a stunning sculpture, something made from chrome or copper or simply pamper your loved one with his or her favourite flowers, chocolates or gift items that you know that they will love. You’ve been with your partner for a very long time and you should know exactly what will make them happy.
