Over many years of marriage, it becomes clear that the words that you need to find your soulmate in order to live a happy life are true. Having lived together for many years, the married couple was able to convince themselves of the strength of their love and withstand all the tests sent by fate. And if 35 years of life together are left behind, then this is a reason to celebrate this event. Not everyone can live so many years and not lose their feelings.
You can invite adult children and best friends to the holiday to have fun with them and remember the past. 35 years of marriage is a wedding anniversary, which has two names: one is a coral wedding, the other is a linen wedding. Let's find out in more detail what a coral (linen) wedding should be like, how to celebrate this event and what to give.
Symbols of 35 wedding years
The main symbol of the holiday is coral. It is enough to look at this miracle of nature to understand why it was made a symbol. Coral has many branches that have grown together and become one.
It grows in difficult conditions of the sea day, where difficulties await it at every step, but despite this it turns into a beautiful tree. The couple lived together for many days and became one for each other. Every day of their lives brought something good and sometimes something bad. As a result, a unique pattern was formed, and the marriage bonds became strong.
The wedding was also given another name - linen. The canvas is made from flax, which gives it strength and wear resistance. This is exactly what the spouses’ life together and their feelings have become over many years of their lives.
In European countries, the thirty-fifth wedding anniversary is celebrated under the sign of jade. Jade stone is quite durable and has an attractive appearance. It carries the energy of wealth, which is why it was chosen as a symbol.
35th wedding anniversary traditions
Over many years of celebrating a coral wedding, certain traditions have developed among the people.
- The spouses must find a body of water, stand next to it, hold hands and say the words of the oath of fidelity to each other. Then they can go boating, and during the walk they can talk about all their experiences and fears. After this, you need to soak your hands in water so that it washes away all the troubles that bother you. It is believed that after this there will be no omissions left between the spouses.
- If possible, then you need to go on a trip and do the following ritual. The husband and wife should get up at sunrise and go to any nearby body of water. You need to take a red scarf with you, which you will need to throw into the water. It is believed that all troubles float away with the scarf. After this, you can thank nature for all the wonderful moments that were lived together.
- There is a popular tradition according to which, before the 35th anniversary, a husband and wife must go to sleep in another house. At the same time, they must take one thing that is dear to them. This ritual helps to test strength.
- During the celebration, the heroes of the occasion can exchange rings as at their wedding many years ago. If your wedding rings have become small, you can buy new ones.
Each married couple decides whether or not to follow traditions. The main thing is to have fun, and in order to do this, you need to organize a holiday party in honor of this event.
Gift for husband
The symbolism of the celebration gives free rein to imagination. There are no special traditions regarding gifts. You can give your spouse a lighter, pen or cigarette case with coral inlay. Cufflinks and other accessories are also suitable. Since the anniversary is also called a linen anniversary, you can safely give linen shirts or pajamas.
Cognac or 35-year-old wine is a great gift for any man. This drink is expensive and prestigious. It will serve as a wonderful addition to the romantic evening you will spend together.
Any family will need a set for outdoor recreation. We are talking about a set for barbecue. It usually includes skewers, a tray, a barbecue grid, and devices for lighting and maintaining the flame.
For those who like to spend their free time reading, a collection of books would be a good gift. Try to take into account your spouse’s preferences and do not give works he has already read.
How to celebrate a linen wedding
At a wedding anniversary party, there should be red and orange shades, since coral has exactly this color. Spouses can wear clothes with coral colors. Room decorations, napkins, gift wrapping, and accessories are also chosen in coral color. In accordance with the second symbol, the festive table is covered with a linen tablecloth. Clothes for spouses can be made from linen.
Another tradition to celebrate a wedding day is to go on a trip together. However, this will not stop you from getting together with the whole family and celebrating the anniversary first.
The best idea is to visit a country where there is a sea with corals. There are many such countries where you can buy souvenirs made from coral.
Festive table
It is worth preparing thoroughly for the celebration of the 35th wedding anniversary. You'll have to spend money on table decorations, expensive food and drinks.
Serving and decoration
The festive table is covered with a red tablecloth. Sea shells and various red-colored items (corals, photo frames with pictures of spouses, candles, flowers, vases, etc.) are used as decoration.
For decoration, not only shades of red are used, but also colors associated with the marine theme: blue, blue, azure, turquoise.

Dishes and drinks
Since one of the symbols of the celebration is coral, which grows on the bottom of the sea, seafood should be present on the table. Guests are treated to shrimp, mussels, and squid. Alcoholic drinks are chosen in a coral shade (wine, champagne).
The housewife should bake a large fish pie. According to tradition, it is divided into portions, which are distributed to guests. This emphasizes the unity and cohesion of the family.
As a dessert, guests can be offered a cake decorated according to the theme of the family event. Skilled confectioners will decorate the cake according to your wishes.
What to give for a linen wedding
It is expected that items made of coral or linen items are given as gifts for 35th wedding anniversary. But it is quite possible to deviate from generally accepted standards and give other wedding gifts. For example, a coral wedding is a great occasion for a husband to give jewelry to his wife with or without coral. It is best to present gifts for your 35th wedding anniversary in a linen bag.
A bouquet of flowers will decorate the holiday and lift your spirits. It doesn’t matter what kind of flowers they are, the main thing is that they are your favorite ones. The bouquet must contain 35 flowers.
A wife can sew a linen shirt for her husband or call a ready-made one and embroider some design on it. But if you have no desire for handicrafts, then it is better to buy a ready-made product - for example, a light linen jacket or a summer suit.
Not all men will be delighted with trinkets, so you need to think carefully about what to give for your wedding. And this must be what he really needs. A man will appreciate new gadgets or fishing gear better than jewelry. But in order not to deviate from the theme of the holiday, the gift can be packed in a linen bag or wrapped in coral-colored paper.
It is better to give practical gifts to friends and relatives for a linen wedding. Linen bed linen and linen tablecloth will last a long time, because this material is quite durable. Linen curtains will decorate the room, provide good protection from sunlight, and create a good mood. But if you are not sure about the preferences of the spouses, then it is better to give them beautiful table linen, which will always come in handy.
A set of towels, aprons, and oven mitts will always be needed in the kitchen. You can also present terry towels for spouses. Any practical thing that is useful in the house is suitable for a gift. This could be a tea set or tableware, household appliances and other things. Guests can even team up to purchase a gift they really need.
But if you don’t want to be banal, then give them an adventure gift, such as a ticket to an exhibition, cinema, theater, etc. If the spouses are creative people, then you can give them a beautiful picture with the sea, corals and other things painted.
Children of spouses should think about the gift more carefully to ensure that their gift is memorable. Making a video using family photos and videos is a great idea. Such a gift will be the best reminder of this anniversary.
Parents can organize a great vacation by buying them a tour to another country or a trip to a sanatorium. The grandchildren of a married couple can also prepare gifts, for example, draw a wall newspaper or make a postcard using the scarpbooking technique. You can also organize a home concert where all guests will participate.
