Traditional 33rd Anniversary Themes

The 33rd wedding anniversary has a modern gift, the amethyst, instead of a traditional theme. This purple stone symbolizes peace, healing and equilibrium, making it a fitting tribute to a long-lasting, balanced relationship. While there isn't an official anniversary color or flower for 33 years of marriage, you can channel the amethyst theme by choosing purple-toned gifts or fresh blooms in this particular shade.
