Valentine's Day Wedding Ideas
Thinking of having your wedding on the most romantic day of the year? Check out these Valentine’s Day wedding ideas for inspiration.
Valentine’s Day, February 14th, is already a special day when we celebrate those we love, so why not get married on or around this romantic holiday?
The story of Valentine’s Day dates back to the 3rd century when Saint Valentine ignored the emperor’s orders and married couples in secret so that the husbands would not have to go to war. And though these weddings were performed in secret, your Valentine-themed wedding can be a day of celebration and romance shared with all your friends and family!
We’ve rounded up some of our favorite Valentine’s wedding inspirations filled with a color palette of blush and pinks to get your romantic wedding planning juices going!
