Valentine Wedding Decor: As Simple Or As Elaborate As A Bride Chooses

Many brides believe that June is the perfect time for a wedding, but there are some who believe that the perfect wedding day is Valentine's Day. Decorating for with a Valentine Day wedding theme is easy. Simple Valentine wedding decor ideas include using plenty of red hearts, white paper doilies and placing candy hearts at every reception table.

Other Valentine theme wedding decoration ideas include using heart shaped helium balloons, elaborate archways decorated with red and white drapes as well as tiny pink or white lights. A good resource for Valentine wedding decor ideas is your wedding planner. He or she will likely have many examples of previous Valentine's Day weddings to help you choose your decorations.

Weddings during the afternoon can be as simple or informal as you choose. Many couples will have an afternoon wedding because it is more relaxed. The lighting is also more favorable during the day, which is another reason both couples and photographers enjoy ceremonies early in the day. The Valentine wedding decor you choose for a day wedding will be slightly different from an evening wedding. Afternoon weddings don't need to use as much lighting, so you can spend your decorating budget on flowers, gifts for your guests, caterers and music.

Backdrops are popular wedding decorations for rooms and as areas for photos of the guests and wedding party. They usually use gossamer, tulle, toile, silk or organza material draped across and between columns. Garlands of flowers can be hung on these backdrops; favorites of Valentine's Day brides are pink, red and white roses.

Valentine wedding theme table decorations can be elegant yet simple for afternoon weddings. Forgo the candlelight during the day. Concentrate on elevated decorations such as small heart shaped gift boxes for the guests perched atop a cake pedestal. Centerpieces that float balloons above wedding tables are also popular daytime decorations.

Evening weddings are more formal and sometimes very elegant. Valentine's Day decor for an evening wedding can include using lighted backdrops for photo areas and plenty of candle light at the guest and head tables. Arrangements of several pillar candles of varying sizes make a beautiful wedding reception table centerpiece decoration. Add a small garland of fresh flowers around the candles and it will be simply elegant. Many brides like to use lots of balloon decoration for weddings as ways to decorate the tables - especially wedding cake tables - and the dance floor area. If you are using candles, be sure to keep the balloons as far away as possible.

Wedding balloon decoration ideas for the Valentine's Day bride are white and red balloon pillars, heart shaped balloon archways and miniature hot air balloon decorations for the cake and reception tables. The head tables at the wedding reception can be decorated with garlands of shiny red hearts, bouquets of red roses in silver vases or garlands of fresh flowers laid across the front of the tables. The guests tables can also be decorated with fresh or silk rose petals scattered around the table settings.

A simple way to add elegance to any Valentine wedding decor is to use chair covers, fabric chair decorations or simply by using beautiful tablecloths. Chair covers and tablecloths can be rented from party rental businesses and they are available in a wide range of colors and fabric prints.

Simple wedding chair decorations can be made of inexpensive tulle material. Drape the material around the top of the chair and secure with a large safety pin in the back. Finish off the decoration with a large silk flower of your choosing fastened on the safety pin. Be sure that the wedding chair decoration doesn't touch on the floor or guests may trip on them.

Valentine wedding decor ideas can be as simple or as elaborate as a bride chooses. Brides who choose to have their wedding on Valentine's Day are sure to find many Valentine Day wedding theme decorations and ideas everywhere that they shop. The trick is to avoid going over the top and splashing everything with several shades of red. Decorate in moderation with a variety of colors and you'll have a beautiful and memorable Valentine theme wedding.
