A little about traditions
Interestingly, lavender is the national symbol of French Provence. Using plant shades and following the concept characteristic of this style in the interior will help you easily maintain an atmosphere of warm home comfort and demonstrate goodwill.
Lavender sprigs are a recommended holiday attribute. Put it on clothes in lilac tones or use an accessory of a similar shade.

This is an important and significant anniversary, but it is not customary to celebrate it noisily and invite many guests. Usually this day is spent with those closest to you or together.
What do spouses give each other for a lavender wedding?
