Ideas from the Traditional to the Unusual

People usually give pearl gifts after 30 years of marriage. 30th wedding anniversary gifts of pearl may not suit everyone though so another option would be to give white or pearl-colored gifts. Flower gifts are a wonderful way of celebrating a wedding anniversary; choose white flowers such as lilies or white roses.

Plants such as jasmine would also be appropriate and would last longer than cut flowers. Gifts of champagne or sparkling white wine would also follow the white theme. Champagne makes a good romantic gift to be shared just between the two of you, or throw a party and drink to celebrate your 30 years together with your friends and family. White soap in an oyster-shaped soap dish is another 30th wedding anniversary gift idea.

A framed copy of a newspaper dated the day a couple were married makes an unusual anniversary gift. Or a coin minted the year of the marriage. A 30th wedding anniversary may be the chance to buy someone something they have always wanted - for instance a trip to a place they have always wanted to visit. Or maybe try doing something completely random like a hot air balloon together or a ride in a helicopter. A photograph of the couple together in a white frame with a poem or piece of text as a reminder of their wedding day makes a lovely and unique 30th wedding anniversary gift. An alternative to a white frame would be a silver one, or a frame inlaid with mother-of pearl to follow the pearl theme.

Pearl jewelry looks lovely on women and is the obvious choice to celebrate a pearl wedding anniversary. Pearls are formed in small mollusks in the sea or in freshwater and are usually white in color with an iridescent sheen but occasionally pink or black pearls are formed. Cultivated pearls are becoming more common as it is hard to get enough pearls from natural sources. Pearls look lovely set in silver or gold to make earrings, broaches, bracelets, necklaces or rings. Pearls should be wiped clean with a soft cloth after wearing so that they don't accumulate oils and acids from the body or makeup and cosmetics which can damage them. Pearls should be kept separately from jewelry made of hard gem stones and metals as pearls are relatively soft and could be damaged by scratching. Mother-of-pearl is form of pearl which is flat rather than round: individual pearls are spherical in shape. Wooden jewelry boxes or other items can be inlaid with mother-of-pearl to create stunning designs.
