Is there any more effective way to express your love than to get married with a ceremony in the same month as Valentine’s Day? Putting the symbol of love all around our wedding day struck me as a wonderful way to celebrate marriage. My initial purchase was a stunning tiara that I discovered while browsing on the web. There were many wonderful decorations and supplies to choose from, such as the invitations I bought. I mailed out small cards that had two silver-colored hearts on the front of them for our invitations. The only thing I really had to do was write in the information, like the place and the date, and the rest was already filled out in beautiful calligraphy when we got them.
When the invitations were completed, I had to go forward with putting together the exact products that I would use. On each of the pews I had big red velvet bows with ribbon strung from one pew to the next. The altar was beautifully decorated, with wonderful candle holders and candles, including our unity candle which was adorned with a heart made of red roses. On the scene at the wedding, we put many pink and red roses mixed together, in the floral bouquet that I carried. We had doves let out of cages as my groom and I departed from the church building, and it was one extra touch that I thought was just majestic.
Next on my list of what to do, was to check the accessories and the heart wedding favors for our guests. There were plenty of marvelous ideas for thank you gifts that fit right in with a hearts wedding. There was even decorative confetti that could be sprinkled around the reception tables to add a little extra to the romantic atmosphere. Not only did I find the accessories I needed to set up my reception tables with style, but I also found the perfect hearts wedding favor for our guests.
The tables that our reception each had a floral arrangement of pink, red, and white roses with small hearts mixed in with them in the center of the table. I got a place card holder that was the prettiest I had ever seen for each place setting, and two hearts wedding candles that made it feel like love was in the air. I ordered beautiful little silver bells with a heart shaped handle that make a very lovely keepsake from our wedding day for each of our guests. Our wedding cake was decorated with little hearts all around the bottom layer and little tiny pink and red roses trimmed each layer. Our hearts wedding cake had a white porcelain topper on it that complimented the rest of our cake décor beautifully.
The hearts and flowers that saturated our wedding made it the very definition of what a love-filled, Valentine’s Day wedding should be. I’m just glad I had the internet to turn to, it made everything so much easier.
