Valentine’s week is coming up, and it’s the perfect time to swoon over romantic wedding inspiration! Whether you’re planning a February wedding or just love a touch of bold reds, soft pinks, and dreamy florals, this post is full of ideas to inspire your big day.
Over the years, I’ve photographed some of the most beautiful weddings that embrace this love-filled season—and I’m here to share some of my favorite Valentine’s-inspired details!
Bold & Classic: Red and White Done Right ❤️
Red is such a timeless and striking choice for a wedding color palette, and when paired with classic white, it feels bold, elegant, and completely unforgettable.
✨ Bridesmaid Dresses: Bright red gowns make such a statement in photos!
🌹 Florals: Red roses, peonies, or ranunculus paired with lush greenery.
🎂 Cake Inspiration: A white wedding cake with red floral accents is simple yet stunning.
💌 Invitation Suite: Clean white stationery with red calligraphy or ribbon details.
If you’re a bride who loves a bold and timeless aesthetic, red and white will always be a showstopper!
Soft & Romantic: Blush and Pink Tones 💖
For a more subtle take on a Valentine’s-inspired wedding, blush, dusty rose, and soft pink tones create the dreamiest, most romantic look. These colors are perfect for brides who want a wedding that feels light, airy, and effortlessly elegant.
🌸 Bridal Party Looks: Blush and mauve bridesmaid dresses add a soft, feminine touch.
💐 Florals: Peonies, garden roses, and anemones in shades of pink and ivory.
🕯️ Reception Vibes: Candles and neutral-toned linens paired with soft florals for an intimate, cozy feel.
✨ Accessories: Velvet ribbons or pearl details for a timeless, romantic touch.
A blush-toned wedding is the perfect way to embrace the romance of Valentine’s Day while keeping the aesthetic soft and classic.
Mixing It Up: Pops of Pink, Red & Even Purple 💜
Who says you have to pick just one color? Some of my favorite wedding days have mixed pinks, reds, and purples for a fresh and fun take on a Valentine’s-inspired palette.
💡 Color Combo Ideas:
- Bright pinks + deep reds for a playful, vibrant look.
- Lavender + blush for a soft, whimsical aesthetic.
- Burgundy + fuchsia for a bold, dramatic feel.
Whether it’s in bridesmaid dresses, floral arrangements, or even small details like the groom’s tie, mixing shades of red, pink, and purple adds depth and personality to your wedding day!
The Little Details That Make a Big Impact ✨
No matter your color palette, it’s the small, thoughtful details that bring everything together. Some of my favorite ways to add a little extra romance:
💌 Love Note Exchange: A handwritten letter or private vow reading before the ceremony.
🕯️ Candlelit Reception: A mix of tapered candles and soft florals for an intimate vibe.
🎀 Romantic Accessories: A delicate bow on the bridal gown or a soft veil with pearl details.
These small touches add a layer of thoughtfulness and romance to your big day while making it uniquely yours!
Love is Always in Style
Whether you love the idea of a classic red wedding, a soft and romantic blush theme, or a playful mix of pinks and purples, there are so many ways to bring Valentine’s-inspired beauty into your big day.
At the end of the day, your wedding should reflect you and your love story. Whether you go all-in on the Valentine’s theme or simply incorporate small romantic touches, the most important thing is that your day feels like YOU.
I hope this post brings some inspiration for the season of love—and if you’re planning a wedding with Valentine’s flair, I’d love to hear what details you’re most excited about! 💕
