The Wedding Commemorative Decoration was founded on September 20, 1906 by Grand Duke Friedrich I. It was established to celebrate his 50th wedding anniversary with Grand Duchess Louise. The decoration was awarded in a variety of forms to members of the Duke's family and royal individuals who attended the celebration.

The decoration was awarded in gold and in silver.

The 50 Year Wedding Anniversary Commemorative Decoration with Diamonds was likely only worn by the Grand Duchess Louise.
