Traditional Wedding Anniversary Themes
Your wedding anniversary is a celebration that represents your unique style. Small, intimate occasions work well for some, while others prefer a grand party. Luckily, a big city like Boston has a venue and catering team to help you with whatever style you choose.These themes draw on the traditional wedding anniversary gifts and flowers of medieval Germanic Europe as we implement the beauty and fragrance of each into the party theme décor.10-Year Wedding Anniversary—“Tin” Years Strong
Representing your flexibility and adaptability, tin or aluminum is the material used to symbolize a 10th wedding anniversary. Celebrate how far you’ve grown as a couple and set your sights on the next ten years. Use brushed or hammered aluminum in picture frames, plate charges or flower vases.
We recommend using daffodils, the 10-year anniversary flower, to make gorgeous yellow and white arrangements that accentuate the aluminum flare of the vase!Our professional servers can pass appetizers on a shiny, modern tray stacked with balsamic figs wrapped in prosciutto and stuffed with goat cheese served with balsamic reduction. Picture the couple of honor greeting people at the door with, “Welcome to our 10th wedding anniversary, where we’d like to treat you to delicious food and hugs of joy!”Shining Silver at the 25-Year Wedding Anniversary
After 25 years, you’ve made it—now is your time to shine! Break out the silver passed down on your wedding day and get ready to celebrate through multiple generations. Contemporary trends lend a hand to silver accents, and you will be able to find décor like these amazing items:- Gorgeous silver pillows
- Silver lighting fixtures

Incorporate the traditional iris flower into your 25th wedding anniversary party to complete the theme.Why not pop the bubbly for the 25th? Our staff can pass champagne among guests or pour it right before the toast at dinner.

Decorate with pearl accents throughout your wedding anniversary party using these fun ideas:- Pearl beads in the bottom of glass flower vases or candle votives
