Valentine’s Day Inspired Wedding Theme Ideas

Valentine’s Day comes but once a year, but you can use the holiday as inspiration for your wedding, year round! Pink, red, hearts, candy, roses…you can work the traditional Valentine elements into your big day, seamlessly! Dreaming of a Valentine’s Day Inspired Wedding? Read on for some great ideas.

1. Flowers: Long stem roses are a symbol of Valentine’s Day. They’d work beautifully on their own, or mixed into bouquets. Arrangements featuring pink and white flowers would also give off the romantic feel of Valentine’s Day!

   

2. Dresses: Dress your bridesmaids in pink or red. One color, or varying shades. You can even go totally non-traditional and opt for a pink wedding gown!

   

3. Food & Drink: A pink signature cocktail, or heart-shaped hors d’oeuvres would be a sweet and simple way to bring the Valentine’s Day theme to your food & drink!

   

4. Decor: Cut paper hearts, like the ones we made as kids, make for sweet wedding decor and give guests the nostalgic feeling of childhood Valentine’s Day!

   

5. Favors: Looking for a bit more nostalgia?  Package your wedding favors in brown paper bags.  Don’t these remind you of the bags we used to collect Valentine’s in elementary school?

   

6. Place Settings: Floral china patterns, hearts, and expressions of love. You can carry the romantic theme right through to dinner.

   

7. Cake: Your cake doesn’t need to be red, covered in hearts, with a fondant Cupid perched on top. You can be a bit more subtle with your theme, and still, have it express the feeling of Valentine’s Day.

   

8. Details: You can add little hints of Valentine’s Day throughout your day. Candy hearts on the table, perhaps old-fashioned valentines as your guest book, or mini boxes of chocolate as favors…
