Happy Valentine's Day! It is the most romantic day of the year, except your wedding day of course! If you want a wedding day which is truly special and romantic, we think a Valentine's day wedding is absolutely perfect. Whether you want to tie the knot on Valentine's day itself, or just want to theme your day with love and red roses, here's all the inspiration you need for the perfect V-day wedding!

Bouquet of Roses

Nothing says 'Valentine's Day' like a beautiful bouquet of roses. Whether you go for classic red, dainty white, or pretty pastel pink, opt for a gorgeous rose bouquet to emphasise your theme. Flowers are a wonderful way to enhance a colour scheme, so have some fun with your floral arrangements to create a V-day inspired bridal bouquet.

Balloons

Instantly up the fun factor with some red, heart-shaped balloons. Perfect as venue decor or as a gorgeous photo backdrop, this stylish idea is a wonderful idea for a Valentine's Day-obsessed bride. However, if you're planning on letting them go, make sure you choose biodegradable balloons so you can be a stylish and eco-friendly bride!

Blush Dress

Replace your traditional white bridal gown with a gorgeous blush dress which oozes with Valentine's day glamour. Often associated with Valentine's day, blush, pink and red are romantic colours which work perfectly for this theme. To match your beautiful blush dress, why not wear your hair in romantic, cascading soft curls to match your princess-inspired look? We are obsessed with this stunning Hayley Paige gown!
