Are you getting married on Valentines Day? You can't get more romantic than that! Even if you don't tie the knot on that actual day, you can use a Valentines day theme which will still have that romantic effect. You can use some of the following ideas to help fill the air with romance:
Location
Book early if your date is Valentines Day as it is very popular! Find a church or country hotel that allows candles, soft music, lush flowers and a late evening ceremony. If you use a hotel you can use it for the ceremony and reception.
Invites
Make invitation cards heart shaped. Set the tone with something like: "Come celebrate love and romance on Valentine's Day at the wedding of....."
Decor
Put photos of you and your fiancé on love hearts and put them on the tables. Place red and white candles on the tables and scatter heart shape confetti around them. Instead of using table numbers, name each table after famous couples, such as: Romeo and Juliet!
Brides attire
A red ball gown is a must for any valentine bride. Hair left loose with silk flower clips. Another idea would be wear an old fashioned wedding gown and wrap a luxurious red shawl around your arms, and hold onto a beautiful bouquet of red roses.
Grooms attire
Wear a classic black tuxedo with a red rose.
Music
Hire an italian opera singer to add lots of romance. If you have a dj, write up a little story about how the two of you met and have him read it to your guests.
Catering
Have a white cake with red hearts and/or pink flowers. Ask the baker to make two puff swans that join in the middle to form a heart shape. Have oyster prawns(an aphrodisiac), heart shaped sandwiches, and chocolate covered strawberries.
Favors
Give guests little boxes filled with heart shaped biscuits/cookies or sweets and write a little love quote on a heart shaped piece of card.
