How to Plan a Valentine’s Day Theme Wedding: Romantic Ideas, Tips & Planning Guide

Why Plan a Valentine’s Day Themed Wedding?

Valentine’s Day offers the perfect backdrop for a wedding filled with love, elegance, and heartfelt moments. The symbolism of February 14th—romance, connection, and everlasting love—makes it one of the most popular days to say “I do.” Planning a Valentine’s Day theme wedding allows couples to lean into bold reds, delicate pinks, heart-shaped details, and enchanting decor that feels both timeless and dreamy.

Whether you’re hosting an intimate beachside vow exchange in Vancouver or a grand celebration in downtown Seattle, the possibilities for creating a Valentine’s Day-inspired wedding are endless. From classic elegance to playful romance, CJ Event Capture can help you bring your vision to life with expert planning, creative design, and unique services like photo booths, custom décor, and rentals.

Choosing the Perfect Valentine’s Day Wedding Venue

When selecting a venue for your romantic celebration, consider spaces that naturally lend themselves to warm, cozy, or opulent atmospheres. Think of venues with fireplaces, chandeliers, soft lighting, or waterfront views. Popular Valentine’s Day wedding venue types include:

• Historic mansions and ballrooms in Bellevue or Bellingham
• Luxury hotel spaces in downtown Seattle or Surrey
• Waterfront venues in Kirkland, Vancouver, or White Rock
• Romantic outdoor gardens or vineyards (with tenting for chilly weather)
• Destination-style spaces like beach resorts for a February escape

Be sure to book early—Valentine’s weekend can book up fast!

Valentine’s Day Color Palettes and Design Themes

Your wedding colors and decor set the emotional tone of the day. For a Valentine’s Day theme, consider these romantic palettes:

• Classic Red & White: The most traditional Valentine combo—passionate and timeless.
• Blush Pink & Gold: Soft and elegant with a glamorous twist.
• Burgundy & Rose Gold: Deep, moody romance perfect for winter weddings.
• Ivory, Mauve, and Dusty Rose: For couples leaning into vintage or boho vibes.

Enhance the theme with heart motifs, rose petals, candles, hanging string lights, velvet table linens, and personalized signage. Don’t forget themed extras like “Love Potion” signature cocktails or heart-shaped confetti.
