“On this day you choose to marry
Endless thoughts abound in your head.
The fireworks you feel inside
You smile that you try to hide.
As anyone can clearly see
They were both meant to be.
The love that both emanate
It makes your union more than destiny.
As you begin to travel this road
Their history together has yet to unfold.
As you put on your wedding bands
And walk down the aisle hand in hand.
Remember this day forever.
This is the day they became husband and wife.
The day their hearts were united for life.”
A wedding is the beginning of togetherness…of walks in the rain, enjoying the sun, shared meals, caring for each other and feeling the love that comes with marriage. Someone had rightly said that “marriages are made in heaven.”
By any chance, if you are getting married on Valentine’s Day, then you must be a true romantic. This very special day in everyone’s life should reflect all the romance with special effects and extras. Even if you’re not getting married on February 14, one can easily incorporate some of these touches for this day.
Wear:
A retro look on Valentine’s Day is always welcome. One can wear stylish dress and tuxedo. For some fashion tips, one can even watch some movies like FUNNY FACE; MY BEST FRIEND’S WEDDING; WEDDING PLANNER, etc.
A second option would be a white dress with red details. Pull your hair back and place some red roses. Wrap a red stole around your arms and carry a bouquet of red roses.
Have the bridesmaids wear a similar outfit with different shades of pink, mauve, and silver. Have the groomsmen wear red ties with different red and pink buttonholes.
Adjustment:
Valentine’s Day is a very popular day for weddings, so be very careful when selecting your wedding venue. Choose a place where many candles can be lit to set the mood for the ceremony in the evening. Alternatively, one can find somewhere warm enough in mid-February, be in a secluded garden, or can be in an attic with lush flowers all around. Decorate like decorating a special dinner, with light music, soft lights, chiffon tablecloths, flowers, candles and lots of atmosphere.
Ceremony:
It includes all the traditional ceremonies and rituals. Ask married couples to stand up during the wedding and reaffirm their love for each other.
Music:
A string quartet or an Italian opera can set the right mood. If you want to have a DJ, ask him to play a list full of romantic songs.
Flowers:
A wedding can be a dream, and one that is not easily forgotten, if the floral decoration and lighting that will accompany it can be carefully planned.
The beauty and fragrance of flowers, combined with the use of natural lights, candles and lighting fixtures, add to enhance your wedding theme.
If the wedding venue is in a romantic paradise, then one can set the scene with soft lights, pastel shades of pink, lilac, creamy white, a tint of gold should be present in the lights, flowers and ribbons. .
Use bright lights with bright touches of gold, orange, cobalt blue, hot pink, purple, and red in your flowers and accessories.
Menu:
A wedding menu should not be so heavy. Includes a variety of drinks and desserts. This can easily fan the spark among your guests. Don’t forget the liquor. Wine is a must. But then, keep the non-alcoholic beverages too. I don’t think you want any of your guests or relatives to be stuck in the place.
Plan a meal according to the trend. Check with the provider for updates. Trends come and go, like the gentle morning breeze. If you can smell it or stand it, you are the champion!
No matter what you serve on the plate, just remember, KISS…Keep it simple, honey!
Invite:
Pinstripes are in fashion right now. A mix of classic and contemporary invitation can be an elegant script juxtaposed with a playful striped border.
Set the tone for the invitations by writing something like “Come celebrate love and romance on Valentine’s Day at the wedding of …………………. ..”
Keep separate invitation cards for guests of different ages.
Special keys:
Instead of numbering the tables, name them. Maybe after some famous romantic partners. These may be real: Jessica Tandy and Hume Cronyn. Fictional: Fred and Wilma Flintstone. Classic: Romeo and Juliet. Or ancient: Antony and Cleopatra. Other famous couples are Adam and Eve; Robin Hood and Maid Marian; Paris and Helen, etc. You can even name celebrity couples like Courteney Cox and David Arquette; John Lennon and Yoko; Paul McCartney and Heather Mills etc.
Honeymoon:
Aside from choosing a dress, honeymoon planning can be the most stressful part of a wedding. It is one of the trips of a lifetime, which is guaranteed to create memories for a lifetime.
Hear from fellow travelers and learn their secrets to choosing the right destination, finding the perfect hotel, and taking all the stress out of your honeymoon, making it a wonderful escape from the frenzy of your wedding day.
