Ah, Valentine’s Day is approaching—the Super Bowl of romance! A day dripping in deep red roses, heart-shaped boxes of chocolate, and enough grand romantic gestures to make even the most cynical among us swoon. But for the true romantics out there (yes, we see you, hopelessly-in-love couples!), this day isn’t just about sweethearts and candlelit dinners—it’s the ultimate inspiration for planning the most magical wedding day ever.
So, if you’re the type who adores love notes, squeals at surprise proposals, and firmly believes in the power of a well-timed slow dance, buckle up! Let’s talk about how Valentine’s Day romance can set the perfect tone for your special day.
The Grand Proposals: When Love Goes Big or Goes Home
Valentine’s Day is the unofficial National Proposal Day (no, really—ask any jeweler, and they’ll confirm it’s the busiest season for engagement ring shopping). From rooftop champagne to intimate at-home dinners, lovebirds across the world seize the moment and pop the question in the most extra ways possible.
Cue the flash mobs, the skywriting planes, and the unexpected ring in a chocolate box. And for the ones who truly understand romance? A surprise weekend getaway to Dubrovnik, with a candlelit dinner overlooking the Adriatic. (We’re just saying—it’s the proposal spot of dreams!)
So, if you’re one of the lucky ones saying yes this Valentine’s Day, let that magic flow right into your wedding planning!
The True Romantics: The Ones Who Plan With Their Hearts
Some couples love a good spreadsheet. Others? They dream in rose petals and soft candlelight. If you’re the kind of person who gets emotional over a beautifully written vow or swoons over the idea of a wedding bursting with romance, Valentine’s Day is your aesthetic.
Think:
- A wedding color palette of deep reds, blush pinks, and soft golds
- Heart-shaped desserts (macarons, mini cakes, chocolate-covered strawberries… need we say more?)
- Love letters exchanged before the ceremony, because handwritten romance never goes out of style
- A violinist playing your song as you walk down the aisle
Basically, if you’ve ever dreamed of a wedding that looks like it came straight from a romantic novel, take a page from the Valentine’s Day playbook.

The Magic of the Feeling
Valentine’s Day isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about the feeling. That warm, tingly, butterflies-in-your-stomach kind of love. The magic that makes you look at your person and think, “This is it. This is my forever.”
That same magic? It belongs at your wedding. Whether you’re a fan of over-the-top displays of affection or subtle, intimate romance, let the energy of Valentine’s Day inspire you.
- Romantic lighting: Twinkling fairy lights, flickering candles, and soft uplighting make any venue feel like a love story come to life
- A first dance moment to remember: Find a song that gives you goosebumps and make it yours
- Signature cocktails with a love twist: Think ‘Cupid’s Kiss’ or ‘The Love Potion’
- Personalized love notes for guests: A sweet touch that makes everyone feel the love
