Congratulations on one full year of love and laughter! Your first wedding anniversary marks 365 days since you and your spouse committed to each other for the rest of your lives. That beautiful commitment deserves to be cherished, honored, and celebrated on your first anniversary!
There are dozens of fun traditions to celebrate your first wedding anniversary. Many couples like to preserve the top layer of their wedding cake in the freezer and break it out on their first wedding anniversary as a reminder of their special day! You may choose to celebrate by having a nice meal at a fancy restaurant, or a romantic night in together. Many couples also make it a tradition to exchange gifts.

Gift #4: Flowers in a Set of Glass Vases
When it comes to a 1 year wedding anniversary gift or any gift for your spouse, you can’t go wrong with a gorgeous bouquet of flowers! You can stick with the classics, like red roses with baby’s breath accents, or get more creative and choose something out-of-the-ordinary that reminds you of your love. If you can, try to get a bouquet of flowers that were included in your wedding day for an extra-sentimental touch.
Of course, the flowers are only half the gift. Make this classic anniversary gift even more special by gifting it in a collection of handmade glass vases from J Devlin Glass Art. Our stunning glass vases are water-tight and feature beautiful, textured glass to add sophistication and charm to the flower arrangement they hold. This beautiful glass vase set doubles as a new tradition; use them every time you gift your spouse a bouquet of flowers! Through the years, these sweet vases will become an unforgettable part of your anniversary celebrations.
However you decide to celebrate your first anniversary, be sure to include a memorable, sentimental gift for the love of your life. J Devlin Glass Art is happy to provide beautiful gifts for your first anniversary, and every anniversary to come!
