Valentine’s Day is a time when couples traditionally show their feelings of love and affection. Therefore, it’s no surprise that so many choose it for their wedding date. In fact, it is the ninth most popular day of the year to get hitched in the UK. If you’re one of the thousands of couples saying ‘I do’ on Valentine’s Day in 2022, read on. Here are our top Valentine’s inspired wedding ideas.
Themed invitations
To set the mood for your Valentine’s Day wedding, we recommend sending out themed invitations to your friends and family members. Incorporate romantic touches such as red borders, heart-shaped illustrations and pretty calligraphy writing. You could also add love quotes or even a poem if you have space on your invites. Giving them a Valentine’s Day theme will leave your guests in no doubt that this celebration is going to be all about love, love, love!
Wear a pink wedding dress
There’s no reason why you have to wear a traditional white gown on your big day. Since Valentine’s Day is full of sexy reds and blushing pinks, you may want to consider incorporating these colours into your wedding dress. What’s even better is if the dress has features such as lace, floral decoration or other romantic touches. Wearing a pink wedding dress can make for some stunningly unique Valentine’s Day wedding photos. You could even let your bridesmaids embrace the theme too by dressing them in pink or red dresses.
Decorate your venue with hearts
Since hearts are so synonymous with Valentine’s Day, it makes sense to incorporate them into your décor. You could create a heart shape of pretty blooms to get the perfect backdrop, or how about making your own beautiful heart decorations? Hanging heart ornaments around the venue can add a romantic feel, setting the scene for your Valentine’s Day wedding. Another idea is that instead of having one big wedding cake, you could opt individual heart cupcakes. You could even add sweet messages from the bride and groom for an extra special touch.
Choose a romantic venue
If your heart is set on a Valentine’s Day wedding, we recommend choosing a venue that exudes love and romance. Many couples opt for a barn venue when getting married on this date. Bursting with charm and character, barn wedding venues in Essex offer the perfect ambiance that few other venues can compete with. Crondon Park has it all, from the exquisite Baronial Hall built back in the Tudor era to fantastic surrounding countryside perfect for those romantic photographs.
