Valentine's Day is known as the most romantic day
of the year for couples everywhere. Many couples choose to tie the
knot on this lovers' holiday. Even if you aren't able to have a
February 14th wedding date, you can still have a Valentine's Day
wedding theme. Check out the following tips and ideas:
Location
A beautiful church is a great location for a
Valentine's Day theme wedding. If you are able to do so, you may
also want to consider a medieval castle for your location. Any
location of your choice can work for this theme with the right
decorations.
Invitations
For the invitations, think traditional valentines.
Go for invitations adorned with frilly details like lace and
engraving. You could even choose heart-shaped invitations in shades
of red or pink. Another alternative are Victorian valentine theme
invitations, always a romantic choice.
Apparel
Think fairy tale princess when choosing your gown.
A fitted bodice with a sweetheart neckline and full skirt is ideal
for a Valentine's Day theme wedding. Try accenting your gown with a
necklace that features a heart shaped pendant. Add to the romantic
look with soft makeup in shades of pink, or keep the rest of your
face neutral and go for red lips. For bridesmaids dresses, lacy
details and colors like pink and red are ideal.
Decorations
The heart shape is perfect for a Valentine's Day
theme wedding and can be incorporated in many ways. Try making
heart shaped confetti using a custom hole punch. Instead of regular
balloons, get heart shaped ones. Red, pink and white are all
perfect colors for this theme. Another essential is lots of
flowers. Roses are the most romantic choice and come in gorgeous
shades of red and pink. You can stick to one or two shades, or mix
three or more together for a romantic and whimsical look. Table
centerpieces can be floral arrangements, mini ice sculptures, or
crystal bowls filled with water and heart shaped floating candles.
Menu
For the main and side dishes, choose foods that
reflect the season and the preferences of the bride and groom. For
desserts, reflect the Valentine's Day theme with choices like red
berries served with whipped cream, heart shaped cookies, and a red
velvet wedding cake. Pink champagne is an ideal libation. Also
serve a non-alcoholic beverage like red or pink punch.
Favors
Miniature boxes of chocolates are ideal as favors
for a Valentine's Day theme wedding. Or, wrap little bottles of
bubbles in red or pink tulle. Votive candles are also romantic.
Disposable cameras are another idea for favors that guests are sure
to appreciate.
