About 2nd Wedding Anniversaries

What is the 2nd Wedding Anniversary name & Symbol?

Congratulations on your 2nd wedding anniversary or known as the Cotton anniversary. Like the interwoven fibres of cotton, the second year of marriage brings a couple closer together as their lives become increasingly intertwined. And as cotton is at the same time both strong and soft, the couple is learning how to be flexible and adapt to each other’s needs.

The colour for this anniversary is red, this colour is a warm and positive colour associated with our most physical needs and our will to survive. It exudes a strong and powerful masculine energy. It is also strong-willed and can give confidence to those who are shy or lacking in will power.

2nd Wedding anniversary Gifts for Him, Her and the Couple

Another idea is to invest in some cotton-themed art for your home. You might like to buy a canvas print, or even commission an artist to make a really special piece of art for the two of you. You might like to spend a weekend visiting galleries looking for the right piece. If this is a bit out of your budget, you could look for work by emerging or student artists.

China is a modern alternative gift that symbolises the 2nd wedding anniversary and can take many forms from a vase to ornaments.

Perhaps you have a great gift in mind but it’s just not made of cotton? Well, you could simply buy a gorgeous cotton bag and use it to wrap up the gift. It’s a little bit of fun and in keeping with the theme, and an added bonus, it can be used afterwards.

Gemstones can be Garnet or Rose Quartz which will also make a great 2nd wedding anniversary gift.
