Valentines Day Wedding Theme
For the last century, thousands of couples rush off each year to
say "I do" on Valentine's Day. There's something so spectacular
and romantic about the month of February. Images of cupid and
chocolate filled hearts make our own hearts flutter with the
hope of everlasting love.
If you've chosen to have your own
theme wedding, you can select great wedding decorations,
colors, invitations, and wedding favors to accommodate your
Valentines Day wedding theme. Set your budget and prepare to
make a list of all the items you will need.
Flowers Think white, pink, and of course-red. White flowers
represent purity. Pink flowers represent passion. Red for
everlasting love. Put the three colors together and you have a
powerful combination that expresses your sweetest sentiments to
your spouse and all of your guests. Different flowers to
consider are roses and carnations, perhaps even white lilies.
Decorations You don't want your wedding to look commercialized
like the window display at a card store. Avoid large cupid
cut-outs and gigantic teddy bears. Of course it's a themed
wedding, but you still want to capture intimacy and elegance.
For theming your centerpieces, you can consider large frosted
bowls filled with water, lit floating votives, and red rose
petals. The table can be accented with red silky fabric
tablecloths, which can be cut from a fabric store. A small table
can hold everyone's place-setting. In the center of all the
cards, a large fishbowl can hold two beta fish. The fish are
meant to add a relaxing element. Although fish aren't exactly
considered romantic-it represents the idea of a "two" in harmony.
Favors It's quite easy to accommodate a Valentine's Day themed
wedding with unique wedding favors. You can give your guests Hershey
kisses in a sachet, personalized sweetheart candies that say
"thank you (last name) family," Jordan almonds in the shape of a
heart, sugar cookies, chocolate covered pretzels, or a CD of
memorable love songs that played during the night.
Cutting Corners The Head table should be decorated with
exceptional taste. Nevertheless, this doesn't mean that you
should go out of your budget. If you can not afford fresh-cut
flowers for the Head table, make a large arrangement of silk
flowers (which can look quite realistic). If you can not arrange
your own flowers, have silk arrangements ordered from your local
florist.
If you're not satisfied with the presentation of your
chairs/table, get creative and make them work with your theme.
Arts and craft stores can become your best friend if you let
your imagination run wild. Fabrics, Ribbons, and Pillows can add
a tough of love and comfort to anything. It also shows that you
put a lot of effort into customizing your wedding.
