At Last: New Valentine's Day Wedding Ideas and Bridesmaid Gifts
Fall in love. Oceans of Love. Lovey-Dovey. Sound familiar? We heart Valentine's Day weddings. But you don't want to make your Valentine's Day wedding so sickeningly sweet it will give your guests a toothache. From heart-melting bridesmaid gifts to kissable favors, you'll swoon for these freshly baked Valentine's Day wedding ideas.
Queen of Hearts
 She waves a heart-shaped candy stick wand. Everything must be red. When wanton bridesmaids get out of hand, she exclaims "Off with their heads" and swiftly takes their bridesmaid gifts away. If you don't know the Queen of Hearts, you've obviously never seen Alice in Wonderland (or played poker). The Queen of Hearts: that tight-lipped, discerning face card adds a fairytale twist to the sugary sweet Valentine's Day weddings of yore. (Queen of Hearts by Kmye Chan).
Ashley Simpson and Pete Wentz went far down the rabbit hole when it came time to plan their Wonderland wedding. Like Ashley, think outside the heart-shaped box. Create a red candy buffet with red hearts and licorice as far as the eye can see. When it comes to your colors, don't stick to red, pastel pink, and white. Add bursts of black, yellow, or fuschia. Give out bridesmaid gifts and wedding favors stamped with sweet hearts like this heart key chain and this personalized sweetheart mirror. A funky cake with the King and Queen of hearts at the top puts a creative spin on the classic photo heart cake topper.
Valentine's Day Circa 1945
 Go back to a simpler time when love was paramount with your Valentine's Day theme. First, decide which classic era you want to reflect: Victorian, 1920's Swing, or 1940's. Select a Victorian mansion or ballroom venue. Hang dazzling pink chandeliers from the ceiling. Collect vintage Valentines and display them at your table settings.
Create ambiance with rosy-cheeked cherubs and antique floral patterns. Find a pre-loved vintage wedding gown with a sweet-heart neck and taffeta. Play classic love songs, like "At Last," and heart-melting classics by Frank Sinatra. As bridesmaid gifts, give your girls classic cocktails with these personalized martini glasses or propose to them with a this vintage-inspired bridesmaid cookie card.
