One of the most popular wedding days of the year is the Valentine's Day Wedding. What is more romantic than being married on Valentine's Day, the day for lovers?
Your wedding colors, keeping with the Valentine's Day theme, could be red, white, pink and/or lavender, all popular Valentine colors. For a traditional Valentine's Day Wedding, with you wearing white, the bridesmaids could wear red, pink or lavender. White, red and pink go well together.
The bridesmaids in pink could wear elbow length red capes. If you live in a cold area their capes made of velvet would be nice, or have them floor length for warmth. In a warmer climate a shawl or sheer fabric cape would do nicely. Another elegant idea would be to have Renaissance style dresses.
Depending on your choices for your dresses, your flower choices are many. Remembering to contrast your flowers with your dress (then they will show up well in the photos), many flowers come in these popular holiday colors. Roses, daisies, carnations and mums are but a few. If you want a flower that does not come in that color, ask the florist to paint a white one and see if you like it. Antheriums come in red, white and pink and are a heart shaped flower - perfect for a Valentine's Day Wedding! They come in mini sizes for boutineers and larger sizes for bouquets.
Valentine's Day is the busiest time of the year for a florist, so you really need to plan early for your flowers. Many florists will not do weddings on Valentine's Day, so find your florist early and get them locked in with a contract and/or a deposit on your order.
The men can all be dressed in white. Their flowers traditionally would match their partner's in the wedding party. If you want the colors of their attire to match and you used pink - I recommend having pink vests or cumberbunds, men as a rule do not like wearing pink and a pink tux can be a bit much.
Start early, have fun and ENJOY your Valentine's Day Wedding!
til next time
