WEDDING ANNIVERSARY

1 year of marriage: the cotton anniversary

One year. A marriage's first real milestone, when you're no longer in the euphoria of the beginning, but in real life together.

What does a cotton anniversary mean?

Tradition links the first year of marriage to cotton: a supple, resilient material that takes the shape of what you make of it. A little like a couple just beginning to shape itself, still learning about each other.

A poem for the occasion

One year already, and yet it's only the beginning.
We are still learning about each other, every day,
and perhaps that's the most beautiful part:
knowing there is still everything to discover.
Happy first anniversary, my love.

Words to go with a bouquet

“One year by your side, and already it feels as if I've always been here.”

A gift that lasts longer than a bouquet

To mark this first year, some couples choose a discreet piece: a fine pendant, a pair of diamond studs, made to last well beyond cotton and flowers.
