Centerpieces for Valentine’s Day Weddings
Valentine’s Day is fast approaching, and its arrival signals one of the most popular days of the year to get married. After all, it is the holiday of love and romance, so what could be a more apropos wedding date than February 14th? Celebrate the spirit of the holiday with one of these romantic centerpieces for Valentine’s Day weddings.
When you want to use classic red roses in a very opulent way, choose ones with dramatically long stems and display them in tall crystal or silver vases. This is a great choice for brides who like very elegant wedding details, such as Swarovski bridal earrings. You can bring a bit of the sparkle from your bridal earrings into your centerpieces with Swarovski crystal accents. Crystals can stud the center of each rose, or they can be draped around the edges of the vases for an impressive detail. It is a far cry from baby’s breath and fern accents, that is for sure.
Although Valentine’s Day weddings are often more dressy, it could also be a lot of fun to go with more of a sweet handcrafted design concept. Think of things like handcrafted paper hearts in cozy patterns like pink and red plaid. One really cute and unique centerpiece idea is to wrap plain vessels with red yarn, fill with informal pink and red flowers like carnations, and have the paper hearts on tall wires springing jauntily from the flowers. Add one large heart to the display and stencil the table number on it. This would be so cute and different than the typical wedding table arrangements.
Vintage nostalgia is another approach you can take for your Valentine’s wedding centerpieces. Floral arrangements can be adorned with a white lacy doily ruff around the edge (this would also look great for bouquets). If you were interested in using white flowers, a mountain of fluffy white baby’s breath would work well with this design. While individual stems of baby’s breath as a filler can look anemic, when used as a single flower display in masses, it is ethereal and cloudlike – absolutely romantic, and just right for a Valentine’s Day wedding.
