28 Valentine's Day Wedding Ideas to Send Your Heart Aflutter

A well-designed invitation suite is the best way to set the mood for any celebration. If you're personalizing yours to a Valentine's Day theme, try incorporating a romantic touch like this custom heart-shaped illustration, a red-scalloped border, or even a pretty calligraphy script.

Naturally, a Valentine's Day wedding must include all the hearts and flowers. Embrace the holiday favorites by incorporating them into your wedding decor and personalized touches throughout the day. We especially love this floral-decorated truck bed with a custom sign, which could double as a statement entrance at the ceremony and a photo booth at the reception.

Heart-shaped jewelry is a must-have for a Valentine's Day event, and these Rebecca de Ravenel statement earrings are no exception. If you want something less flashy for the ceremony, try heart-shaped diamond stud earrings or a charm bracelet. For the rehearsal dinner or reception, consider adding another fun accessory in a metallic or bright hue.

A fun clutch that matches the theme is another go-to accessory. We love this red and gold Edie Parker clutch for any celebration, but especially for a V-day wedding. You can also don a heart-shaped clutch or something more simple, like one in solid red or pink.

Let your ladies embrace the theme, too, by dressing them in red or pink bridesmaid dresses. You can even choose gowns with a heart print as these bridesmaids wore at Harley Viera-Newton's whimsical wedding in New York City. To avoid looking too matchy-matchy, consider letting them accessorize on their own.

Not a fan of red hearts all over? That's okay, too. Take this heirloom gown by Hermione de Paula as proof that hearts are equally as special in disguise.

Consider trading the traditional white wedding dress for a blush—or red!—gown. Even better if it has floral adornments, lace, or other romantic touches. Also, if there's a fun heart-shaped landmark near your wedding venue, embrace it as a backdrop for some memorable pre- or post-ceremony portraits with your partner, as this couple did.

We love the idea of hiding a sweet love note inside a suit jacket, tie, or handkerchief. Is there any better way to tell your future husband/father/brother/best man how much you love them? If you're the bride, you can stitch one onto your dress hem or embroider a few sweet words only you'll notice on your gown's skirt or sleeves.

There are so many romantic dresses on the market, so consider dressing your littlest attendants in a style that feels fitting for the big day. At this flower-filled wedding in Washington, D.C., the adorable squad of flower girls wore soft pink dresses with heart-shaped keyholes. Too cute!

Flowers girls can also embrace heart-shaped accessories. At Mary Lawless Lee's Nashville wedding, her six (yes, six!) flower girls wore BHLDN dresses and posed with hearts made of olive branches for photos.

You can re-create this idea with delicate baby's breath, too, or any other flowers that match your decor. Take it to the next level by dressing your small attendants in flower crowns to match.

Looking for another heart-shaped prop? We're obsessed with these biodegradable balloons as a fun accessory for your flower girls and ring bearer. You can also incorporate them into your reception and ceremony decor.

Obviously, every couple getting married on the day of love must exchange Valentine's cards. You can do this before the ceremony with a note that fits your style, whether it's over-the-top romantic or totally punny.

Roses are, naturally, a must-have on Valentine's Day. Rye Workshop created this bride's bouquet of light pink long-stem roses, arranged in a modern style inspired by a Gucci Resort fashion show. You can carry a bouquet of roses in any color that fits your palette or go with red for a classic look.

If a ceremony is all about declaring your love for one another, why not say "I do" under an actual heart? We're obsessed with this statement-making altar of baby's breath in a pretty pink hue—not to mention the boho carpets and pampas grass surrounding it!

Yes, even the bar can be touched with a little V-day charm. This mobile bar setup incorporates various textures and styles that seamlessly blend together, thanks to a consistent pink and white color palette.

The heart shape isn't the only reason we're into this escort card display. First, we love how each card—ahem, we mean bud vase—doubles as a favor. Plus, look at the text above! And, at this reception, the couple named each table after a place they've lived or traveled to together, playing up that their loved ones traveled from all over to celebrate their love.

Guest books are a great way to remind you of your special day for years to come. This couple added a unique and romantic twist to the idea by having their guests sign wooden hearts and place them into a keepsake box.

There's something so romantic about an antique setting and an abundance of roses. We're all about taking this look to the next level with modern ghost chairs and an unexpected pop of blue-and-white Chinoiserie.

A modern neon sign, like this glowing heart, is a cool and funky way to incorporate some Valentine's Day details. For another twist, consider pairing red with natural and dark undertones for an unexpected (and unique!) mix of styles and palettes.

Is there a more elegant and romantic color than blush pink? We love how this couple incorporated the color into their table design, including the candles, table runners, and even the napkins.

Give your guests the quintessential Valentine's Day gift as favors: flowers! This couple hired a flower truck to create custom bouquets for their guests. What a fun idea for your reception!

A great bakery will have tons of romantic cake styles for you to choose from, both simple and over-the-top. One idea is to have your caterer cut tiny red hearts out of fondant for a cute wedding cake decoration. As a final touch, personalize your cake topper, as this couple of cat-lovers did.

Weave Valentine's Day into your dessert bar by adding sweet, love-themed treats throughout your display. This couple had heart-shaped, glittery pink cookies at their wedding. They also make for a fun goodie that your guests can take with them as the night comes to a close.

We know we've mentioned neon signs before, but we have to take one final moment to address the decor element. When anchored correctly, it can act as the focal point for the dinner, speeches, and later, dancing. At this wedding in France, the couple customized theirs with the catchphrase “Hooked on a Firinn” to play on the groom's last name.

Speaking of dancing: Every bride and groom needs a pair of dancing shoes, right? We couldn't be more obsessed with these classic Chucks stitched with a heart and "bride" in beads. This particular pair was a gift from the bride's new sister-in-law.

Ensure every guest leaves your wedding with literal heart eyes by handing out plastic sunglasses toward the end of the night. Trust us: Everyone appreciates a prop on the dancefloor.

End your night with one last grand gesture in the form of a balloon-accented getaway car. This bunch of metallic heart-shaped balloons is as sleek as the newlyweds' ride. You can also consider a balloon sendoff (using biodegradable options) for a dramatic exit.
