5 Romantic Style Ideas For A Valentine's Day Bride

Candy hearts and red roses….

The two staples of every Valentine’s Day! It’s no surprise that a lot of couples choose to tie the knot on this day, what better time to celebrate your love than on a holiday that’s dedicated to romance? Being a Valentine’s Day bride is the perfect opportunity to play with the elements of your wedding gown. It’s almost expected that you will ditch the white, at least in part, for a more romantic bridal ensemble. Not sure how to work elements of Valentine’s Day into your wedding look without being too on the nose? We’ve got you covered! Keep scrolling for five romantic style ideas that will complete a beautiful Valentine’s Day bridal ensemble.

Blush Gown

Bring a little blush to your wedding ensemble! Instead of wearing a white or ivory gown, opt for a blush wedding dress. It’s subtle enough that it won’t be a far cry from a traditional bridal gown, but it will bring a romantic element to your dress. You can also incorporate some blush embroidery for a more dramatic look. If you’re a bold bride, you could choose to wear a red gown for a look that will definitely wow your guests.

Heart-Shaped Jewelry

We’re feeling the love! Replace candy hearts with some heart-shaped earrings. If you want more of a statement look, opt for oversized, drop earrings. This would be a perfect addition to a simpler gown. For a more minimalist look, you can go for dainty, heart-shaped studs or a charm bracelet. Either option would still bring a romantic element to your look and you could even wear pink-tinted gemstones over diamonds.

Red or Pink Bouquet

Roses are in popular demand on Valentine’s Day! If you’re able to, work them into your bouquet or go for a complete monochrome bouquet. Sticking to a purely red or pink bouquet will immediately draw attention to your bridal ensemble and create a nod to the holiday. If you are settled on white flowers for your bouquet, consider incorporating a red or pink silk ribbon to hold the bouquet together.

Reception Look

If you would rather have a more traditional bridal ensemble for your ceremony, you can incorporate Valentine’s Day elements into your reception look. Every bride needs a pair of dancing shoes, so opt for red sneakers or pink flats. You can also don a satin or leather jacket over your wedding gown that is red or pink or simply has a few hearts embroidered onto the back. What’s our favorite suggestion you ask? A heart clutch that will bring a bit of bling to your look AND can hold your lipstick for touch-ups!

Makeup

It’s all in the eyes (or in this case also the lips)! The easiest way to incorporate romantic elements into your bridal look is in your makeup. You can go for a classic red lip or a bolder fuchsia. If you want to tie the whole look together, incorporate pink eyeshadows into your eye look. They will make your eyes stand out and will complement your other accessories if you plan to work more than one of these style ideas into your ensemble!
