WeddingWire India has further put together a Valentine’s week inspired mood board, drawing much loved elements from the days of the Valentine’s week for the wedding of your dreams which will surely set up the mood of love. The excitement to get married on Valentine's Day or in the month of love just gives the romantics a free pass to explore all their lovey-dovey ideas and go over-the-top to express their love for their partner.
Rose Day
Valentine's week commences on the 7th of February with the ever-romantic Rose Day and what’s a wedding without roses, right? With intimate weddings taking place at home, the decor ideas have taken a very eco-friendly and creative twist. Decor vendors are showcasing their skills by creating unique installations and using bright floral colours to pop up the beauty of home decor. Therefore, a variety of bright and beautiful roses in different colors would be the best decor idea for an intimate wedding. One can go all creative by creating a mandap that truly represents a garden of roses, and not to forget, the most distinguished and beautiful floral jaimalas. Taking inspiration from rose day, couples can also experiment with F&B by having rose kulfi, rose sherbet, rose infused cocktails, rose wine, etc.
Propose Day
As with everything else, social media has also contributed to proposals becoming grander and more impressive than ever. Today couples go out of their way to ensure their proposals are ‘different’ and truly romantic and every detail is captured for social media or for posterity sake. Taking inspiration from Propose Day, couples can plan a small intimate event with a close knit circle of friends and family recreating their proposal and all its elements on their wedding day. This could mean setting up the venue in the exact same manner as the location of their proposal, recreate the food and drink experiences, have pictures from the proposal as a part of the decor, go down again on one knee for the picture perfect moment to be shared this time with loved ones. These small yet engaging activities could make the day all the more special.
Chocolate Day
We can safely say, chocolates are loved by everyone! And a chocolate and chocolate-day inspired wedding could be a dream come true for many. I mean who didn't want a visit to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory as a kid right? How about decking up the venue with chocolate decor items, a chocolate inspired food and beverage menu, have a huge chocolate cake and give away personalised chocolates to guests as return favours. Our mouths are truly melting thinking of planning and attending a wedding like this.
Teddy Day
Every relationship has a sweet little gesture to keep it strong, and cutesy! Teddy day is one such day that couples celebrate to remind each other that they are loved. This sweet and simple act of love can also inspire a whole wedding theme. Imagine a wedding with a bazillion cute stuffed bears. From the stage to the bar decor, cute teddy shaped canapes or huge life size Teddy bear’s jumping and dancing with you. A reception like this would make such amazing pictures as well!
Kiss Day
The first kiss is always special and almost unforgettable. If you happened to kiss your beloved for the first time on Kiss Day and you remember every detail like it was yesterday, that is your que to include your Kiss Day memory in your wedding album as well. Recreate the backdrop or pose the same way you kissed him/her the first time and let the photographer capture the magic so you can cherish and frame it or even hang it on a wall in your home.
Finally, Valentine’s Day
Undeniably, Valentine’s Day is one of the most loved and celebrated days of the year for the romantics at heart. Couples from every corner of the world plan this day to completely immerse themselves in a pool of love and radiate the warm, positive vibes everywhere. Getting married on Valentine’s Day, however cliche it might sound to some, is definitely a wedding date to remember. Cheesy but awfully romantic, saying I do on the day of love is memorable and gives everyone the fuzzy feeling that love should bring!
So, would you or someone you know be inspired by these romantic days and plan a themed wedding that totally stands out?
