This is indeed an image that says success. We have many such traditional celebrations and symbols, but in a world where divorce rates are increasing, 25 years of happy marriage is something of a success.
The first thing I notice about this image is the red background. Whilst it is the colour of love, it seems a little overpowering; on my screen it actually hurts my eyes a little to look at it. And because the amount of red negative space is almost equal to the positive space, they almost compete for attention.
Compositionally, your still life elements, create a nice triangle shape, which is pleasing on the eye. The eye is led up the image from the streamers, to the glass to the top of the bottle; then down to the glass and candle, creating nice movement.
Your focus is spot on creating a sharp, clear image and you have dealt really well with the lighting.
The only improvements I would suggest would be to tone down the backdrop and perhaps create more depth by moving some of the objects back more, to create a more 3 dimensional feel.
The background is a little too close to the subject. Those reflections off the background are distracting. Of course, glass is pretty hard to photograph unless you do it right. Nice shot tho.
