I always wish a Happy Valentines Day to all my loved-up friends and a Happy Independence Day to all my single friends on February 14. More and more couples are choosing to make that date even more special by hosting their wedding on that day.

Here are a few ideas of how to incorporate a Valentines themed wedding:

1. Invites that look like Valentines Cards.

2. Favours that are heart-shaped/red/romantic… love this chic shopping bag (so useful!)

3. Heart shaped wedding cake or even this red M&M cake!

4. Romantic red/pink roses flower arrangements

5. Iced heart shaped cookies and a sweet treat (the new ‘desert table’)

I just realised that a Valentines wedding may be slightly more expensive due to the exorbitant cost of flowers that day. Case in point, my husband bought me a beautiful bonquet and said that the usual £2 roses were selling for £4.50! But then again, you could always make that capitalist argument that you save one presents in the long run because you combine Valentines Day and Anniversary… luckily, mine are exactly 6 months apart meaning twice as many presents.. mu hahahha (evil laugh!)
