Weddings are romantic. Period. There is no question about that. Many couples decide to get married during the most romantic season of the year. And, why not? Valentine's Day is a romantic holiday; add a wedding to the day and you have the setting for some special happenings. Here are some ideas you may consider for a Valentine's Day wedding:
- Choose a romantic setting: a lovely church, a romantic country inn, bed & breakfast or winery, a castle or historic mansion. Cozy, intimate and charming should be the words for the day!
- Greet your guests with romance from the moment they walk in. You can do this beautifully and simply with white floating candles and red rose petals in crystal bowls of water on either side of the entrance.
- Have the ushers give flowers to each of your female guests as they arrive.
- Go with a red, pink, and white color scheme. Rich red tablecloths, touches of pink in the flowers, and white linen napkins can give a striking appearance to your reception. Add white votive candles and red or pink confetti sprinkled on the tables, and you have pure romance.
- Use heart-shaped everything at the wedding and reception like heart-shaped candelabrum, unity candles with hearts on them, a guest book in the shape of a heart, heart shaped chocolates, napkins with hearts etc. Have two intertwined hearts printed on the front of your programs.
- Have place cards or table numbers written on heart-shaped cards. Obviously, don't forget the heart-shaped wedding cake. Top it off with a hand blown glass figurine of two hearts. Gifts for your bridesmaids may include heart-shaped jewelry either to wear at the wedding or for their personal enjoyment.
- Consider a gown in a pale shade of pink, or wear a traditional white gown and dress your bridesmaids in varying shades of pink or the traditional Valentine's Day red velvet. Accessorize with heart-shaped or ruby jewelry. Wear roses in your hair. Carry a bouquet of one dozen red roses.
- Have your florist send a balloon bouquet, heart-shaped, of course, to your groom on the morning of your wedding. Write a love poem and attach it with a pretty ribbon. What a romantic way to start the day!
- Consider ending your Valentine's Day ceremony with a lovely dove release, or have your guests shower you with rose petals from petal cones.
- Celebrate LOVE!
