8 Tips for a Romantic Valentine’s Day Wedding

  

If you are going to get married on Valentine’s Day, you should be a real romantic. Plan a romantic Valentine’s Day themed wedding by incorporating the traditional symbols and colors of the day into your marriage ceremony and reception. Check out tips for a romantic Valentine’s Day wedding.

1. Romantic reception

Valentine’s Day is that time of year when people celebrate love, and while a wedding is celebrating love, having a cozy, romantic reception location will kindle love in the bride and groom as well as in guests. Add some Valentine’s symbols into your décor, such as hearts, roses, cupid and doves. As guest favors, take heart-shaped candies, wrapped in pink or red foil. Have napkins with love birds or white doves. Sprinkle heart-shaped, cupid-shaped or dove-shaped confetti on the tables at the reception for a festive Valentine’s Day touch.

2. Design a romantic room

In order to set the romantic mood, think about lighting. Soft pink light can warm up a space and make everyone look good in pictures. Nothing is more romantic than a candlelit dinner. Opt for flower-draped candelabra or create a more contemporary atmosphere with frosted glass motives. For cocktail or lounge areas, several faux fur pillows will create a cozy, comfy mood. And if you have a fireplace, light it. Chilly weather will be forgotten thanks to its warmth and comfort.

As Valentine’s Day is a day dedicated to love, use lots of candles to set the romantic mood. Think about gathering six or seven cone-shaped candles in crystal candle holders at the center of reception tables. Choose red table linens with small lace tablecloths on top. For a decorative and romantic accent, tie ribbon and lace bows around the back of each chair. To add more Valentine’s Day décor, drape lace and ribbon around the gift table, the guest book table, and the head table.
