Seven years already since you said yes to each other! After the weddings of cotton, leather or even wood, your seventh wedding anniversary is placed under the sign of wool. A natural and warm material that lends itself particularly well to small touches and gifts to share between two people.
But why does wool symbolize 7 years of marriage? How to celebrate this anniversary and, above all, what gift to give for a woolen wedding? Here are some ideas to mark this new stage of your life together.
Why does wool symbolize 7 years of marriage?
After seven years of marriage, the two threads of your story have had time to intertwine. Common memories were created, projects were born and the habits of one person gradually merged with those of the other. Like a fabric made up of a multitude of fibers, life as a couple is built day after day.
Wool also naturally evokes warmth and softness. Two qualities that can easily be compared to the comfort provided by a relationship in which everyone finds their place. After seven years, we know each other better, even down to the little daily habits.
Finally, wool is a material that must be taken care of to preserve its qualities over the years. It's hard not to see it as a final nod to married life: a couple also talks with time, attention and a few tender gestures. This gives reason to celebrate these famous woolen weddings!
How to celebrate your woolen wedding anniversary as a couple?
A wedding anniversary doesn't necessarily have to be spectacular to become a lovely memory. The main thing is above all to create a break that is different from everyday life and that suits you.
Organize a cozy evening at home
A good meal, a few candles and an evening just for the two of you can be enough. You can cook your wedding menu together, open a bottle saved for a special occasion, or rewatch a film associated with your early years together.
And since it's a woolen wedding, why not take the theme to the point of making yourself comfortable under a blanket?
Revisiting your seven years of memories
Wedding photos, first trips, moves, vacations, small and large events... Take advantage of this day to look back at how far you have come. You can even each choose your seven best memories from these seven years before comparing them. Some will certainly be common, others will perhaps cause a few surprises.
Go on a romantic getaway
If you have more time, woolen weddings are a good opportunity to treat yourself to a weekend away for two. No need to go to the other side of the world: a house in the countryside, a stay in the mountains or simply a destination you love can do the trick. The most important thing is to break habits and find some time for your relationship.
Invent your own birthday tradition
Seven years of marriage can also be an opportunity to create a ritual that you will keep for the following years. Write a letter to open on the next birthday, take a photo in the same place every year or repeat an activity from your beginnings: in a few years, this little tradition will probably be as valuable as the gift itself.
5 wool gift ideas for your 7th wedding anniversary
Do you want to fully respect the theme of this birthday? The simplest thing is still to offer wool! Here are five gift ideas from the catalog Label Naturel, from a small personal present to a gift designed for the comfort of the couple.
A pure wool blanket for your evenings for two
It's hard to imagine a gift more representative of woolen weddings. The pure ecological wool blanket Label Naturel is made from 100% pure new Woolmark® wool and has a weight of 400 g/m². With its generous size of 150×220 cm, it easily finds its place on a sofa or at the foot of the bed.
Above all, it's an easy gift to share: it can accompany your evenings at home and continue to remind you of this anniversary long after your woolen wedding anniversary.
A large wool shawl from the Pyrenees
If you're looking for a more personal gift, the large Pyrenees wool shawl is another way to stay true to the symbol of seven years of marriage. Made in France in the Hautes-Pyrénées, it is made from virgin wool worked with Pyrenees fabric.
With its enveloping format of 190 × 95 cm, it can be worn on the shoulders or as a cape. To discover other ideas in the same spirit, you can also browse our collection ofscarves, shawls and stoles as well as our women's clothing.
A lambswool scarf for a simple and warm gift
No need for an imposing gift to mark seven years of marriage. A wool scarf can be a simpler touch, especially if you prefer to reserve part of your budget for a dinner or a romantic weekend.
The scarf Label Naturel is made in France from Lambswool lambswool. Its size of 28 × 170 cm makes it an easy accessory to wear every day and a simple way to slip a little wool into your birthday gift.
An organic merino wool duvet for the marital bed
After seven years of marriage, giving a quilt may seem less romantic than a piece of jewelry or a bouquet of flowers. Still, it's a cozy and useful gift that you both can enjoy, night after night, for several years.
The quilt Edelweiss mid-season has a filling of 300 g/m² in organic merino wool and an envelope in organic cotton percale, certified GOTS. Its moderate heat level makes it a solution designed particularly for mid-season or for a heated room in winter. You can find this reference and other models in our collection of organic merino wool duvets.
A bi-thermal duvet for those who love each other... but never have the same temperature!
This is perhaps the gift that best sums up seven years of life together: knowing the other person perfectly while accepting that he or she has definitely not never the same temperature as you under the duvet.
The quilt Edelweiss bi-thermal couple in organic merino wool is divided into two zones: a light half filled with 150 g/m² and a warmer half with 300 g/m². Everyone can thus have a different level of warmth while sharing the same duvet. Its organic merino wool filling and organic cotton percale cover are certified GOTS.
A rather good way to celebrate seven years of romantic compromise!
How to choose your gift for a woolen wedding?
The right gift depends above all on the person to whom you are giving it. For a personal touch, a scarf or a large shawl keeps you very close to the wool wedding theme. For a joint gift, the blanket or duvet will find its place in the house and can be used together.
Also think about the habits of your couple. If you like to spend your evenings on the sofa, a throw will probably have more meaning than a clothing accessory. If the comfort of your bedroom is important to you, a wool duvet can become a common gift that will accompany your daily life for a long time.
Nor is the price what gives this anniversary its value. Attention chosen with the other person's tastes in mind can be just as meaningful as a larger gift.
