Do you love love? Has Cupid’s arrow already found its mark? If you're planning a microwedding, why not lean into a theme that truly embodies romance? A Valentine’s-themed microwedding may sound a little cheesy—but in the best way possible! Let’s talk about why this could be the perfect way to celebrate your love story.
Valentine’s Day has deep historical roots, beginning as a religious feast honoring St. Valentine and evolving from ancient Roman traditions. For couples who adore romance, history, and the magic of a grand feast, a Valentine’s-themed microwedding is a truly unique way to say ‘I do.’
1. Unique Venues
A Valentine’s-themed microwedding opens the door to a variety of stunning venue options.
Outdoor Romance: A lush garden or vineyard with fairy lights.
Historic Elegance: a castle, historic estate, or museum with grand architectural details.
Cozy & Intimate: A traditional chapel or boutique restaurant.
2. Bold Decor
Bold shades of red and pink bring vibrant energy to the day, allowing couples to get creative with their décor. For example, couples can choose from a large variety of flower arrangements that are naturally red and pink in color.
Additionally, for those looking to DIY or save money in their decor budget, consider:
Vintage heart-shaped trinkets from thrift stores.
Repurposing Valentine’s decorations from home stores like HomeGoods & Michael’s for centerpieces.
Incorporating elegant candles and simple florals to create the perfect tablescape.
3. Thoughtful Touches
A Valentine’s themed microwedding allows couples who value affection to add thoughtful touches to their day to show their love for each other and their guests. Consider hand-written thank you notes at each plate setting for each of your guests to show your appreciation. (Since there are fewer than 50 guests, your hand won’t cramp nearly as much as if you were writing 200 hand-written notes!)
Since Valentine’s Day is in February, chances are it will be cold outside when you have your microwedding. Guests may appreciate a cozy blanket to keep them warm during the ceremony. You can easily find cozy blankets for your guests that are Valentine’s themed and won’t break the bank. Folding these behind each chair during the ceremony is not only thoughtful, but a cozy way to incorporate additional decor into your venue.
Lastly, if your guests love romance as much as you do, consider a love letter writing station for your guests to enjoy during your reception! You can provide beautiful stationery and fancy pens for a polished look. Guests can write love letters to you as the couple, to their loved ones, or even to friends—then drop them in a charming ‘mailbox’!” Why not spread the love!
4. Simplified Planning
One of the biggest benefits of a Valentine’s-themed microwedding is the ease of choosing a date—either on or near February 14. No more stressing over which weekend works best! On the flip side, your guests may appreciate the opportunity to have something already planned for Valentine’s Day so that it takes the stress off of their shoulders to also make plans for the holiday. Since Valentine’s Day is popular for restaurants and florists, consider booking vendors early to avoid price surges or availability issues.
Another perk? There are countless Valentine’s-themed templates available on Etsy and Canva for invitations, thank-you cards, welcome signs, and bar signage!
