Violet Wedding: The symbol of the 13th wedding anniversary in Germany

Thirteen years. A number often laden with superstition, but which in the life of a couple marks a stage of deep complicity and peaceful love. While in France we celebrate this milestone with lily of the valley, a springtime charm, our German neighbors have chosen a more discreet, humble, but equally symbolic flower: the violet.

The "Violet Wedding" ("Veilchenhochzeit") celebrates a love that doesn't need to be exuberant to be profound. But what does this little flower of the undergrowth mean?

Let’s explore this tradition that celebrates the beauty of modesty.

The Symbolism of the Violet: Humility, Secret Love and Fidelity

The violet is a flower that doesn't seek attention. It reveals itself with the gaze. For a couple celebrating their thirteenth anniversary, it represents:

• Humility and Modesty: A thirteen-year love no longer needs to prove its strength. It is there, solid and tranquil. The violet symbolizes this discreet happiness, which does not need to be ostentatious to be real.
• Secret and Deep Love: The violet often grows hidden. It is a metaphor for a love whose depth is known only to the two partners. It is the secret garden you have cultivated together.
• Fidelity and Stability: This is a flower that comes back every year. It symbolizes fidelity, consistency of feelings, and the stability you have built.
