Flower: Pansy
Pansy is a small delicate flower, fitting to represent 1 year of marriage. You could give a pansy theme present, or maybe even a pot plant with pansies in it or order them to be delivered by a local florist.

Pansies are a favorite, due to their multi-colored, happy faces that grow anywhere and bloom under even harsh conditions. Their name means "thought" from the French pensee, and bright pansy faces can seem pensive and full of wisdom with their whisker-patterned petals.

Pansies can be used both as accent flowers and as groupings for focal points in window boxes, flower pots, and garden beds as they come in almost every color and various sizes.

Gemstone: Fresh Water Pearls
Fresh water pearls are a very pretty gemstone. A great gift would be a pair of pretty pearl earrings. Pearls really are timeless elegance - maybe a gift of a beautiful freshwater pearl necklace.

Consider buying your fresh water pearls online. Remember to take note of the actual dimensions of any jewelry purchased online, as they can sometimes look bigger.

First Wedding Anniversary - How to Celebrate
The first wedding anniversary is traditionally celebrated by just the couple. No matter what your circumstances are, there is no reason to overlook this day. There are many ways you could celebrate, whether you will be staying home, having a bit of a getaway or having a picnic by the lake.

What you do for your first wedding anniversary could start off traditions for your following wedding anniversaries. Make sure you do something special that you will both remember. You'll be counting your years together by your anniversary date, therefore don't forget it as there are more to come.

The traditional and modern symbols are different each year and it will help you decide what type of a card or gift to make or buy at retail or online for your spouse.
