Valentine’s Day Wedding Theme

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.
