Wedding day: Everything about the porcelain wedding

20 years is an impressive time. Not every couple makes it to this wedding anniversary. In 20 years, they have overcome common ups and downs that have brought the couple together. The 20th wedding anniversary is a nice time to look back. Remember all the beautiful moments and be proud of how far you have come.

The 20th wedding anniversary is all about porcelain and is therefore also called the porcelain wedding. So that you can celebrate this special day properly, we have the best tips and ideas for you.

Porcelain is an extremely valuable material and is therefore also called white gold. Porcelain is a form of fine ceramic and is therefore not only precious, but also very fragile. The symbolism behind it fits perfectly with a 20-year marriage.

Marriage is just as valuable and expensive after 20 years. But it must also be treated with the same care as fine porcelain. Anyone who acts roughly risks breaking them.

Some customs have become established for porcelain weddings. The most famous one is that the couple buys a new porcelain soup bowl. The old soup bowl is symbolically smashed on the 20th wedding anniversary and with it all the pent-up anger of the last 20 years.

This is done even though the old bowl is still intact. This is intended to show that the couple is doing well financially because they still break a good bowl of soup.

Another popular custom is a modified version of this. Here a new porcelain dinner service is bought and the old one is smashed. Similar to the hen party, the motto here is that broken pieces bring good luck. A new set of porcelain dishes also symbolizes wealth.

Porcelain in all kinds of shapes is often given as a gift for the 20th wedding anniversary. Especially if the couple throws away the old porcelain dishes, new ones are needed. Of course you can modify this traditional gift.

How about, for example, a beautiful porcelain tea service and a few selected types of tea? Vases, figurines, or even art made of porcelain can also have beautiful symbolic power and bring joy to the couple.

Over the years, the daily grind creeps into many marriages. Not to mention the daily stress that burdens married couples. A little break from all of this is the perfect gift. In this way, the couple can return to what is really important and rekindle their love.

Experience gifts:

A nice variation of time for two are experience gifts. This means that married couples can not only spend time alone and without everyday stress, but also gain new experiences together. The experience gift can be tailored entirely to the couple’s preferences. It doesn't have to be a skydive, a wellness weekend or a “dinner in the dark” are special experiences that you don't have every day.
