Wedding Anniversary Marriage of Four Years - Fruits and Flowers 

Fruit is a representation of immortality in its cycle of flowering, followed by the fruit with its hidden seed promising a new growth as the current one dies. The flowering blooms, with their colour and their perfume, attract bees, butterflies and birds who help to continue the cycle of creation.

Traditionally the woman is represented by flowers while a man is represented by fruit. The fourth wedding anniversary acknowledges the greater understanding that the partners have of each other as well as themselves.

Wedding anniversary gifts will include fragrant flowers and exotic fruits.

Particular flower associated with the fourth wedding anniversary is the geranium. Gemstones which represent this wedding anniversary are topaz and amethyst. 

Amethyst is said to be a powerful aid to creative thinking, spiritual awareness and healing. It is said to soothe and clam the mind, raise the spirit and protect against negative vibrations. It is the birthstone for the zodiac sign of Aquarius.

Traditional gifts for the fourth wedding anniversary include fresh flowers, flowering plum tree, fresh fruit baskets, decorative fruit sculptures, silk flowers, garden plants, potted indoor plants, flower themed jewelry, floral perfume.

To make the fourth wedding anniversary memorable, the couple could fill their house with only deeply fragrant flowers like jasmine, rose or lily of the valley to leave a lasting impression of fragrance.
