Happy Valentine’s Day!
As couples everywhere celebrate their love today, on Valentine’s Day, we are sharing a chic twist on the traditional red and pink colors for Valentine’s with a styled shoot featuring elements of black and white Valentine’s Day Wedding celebration.
The history:
Some people say Valentine’s day’s origin is in the Roman festival (Lupercalia). This festival is celebrated in the middle of February month. In this festival, every woman is paired with a man via lottery. It is believed that some people replaced this festival with Valentine’s Day later.
Either way, Valentine’s Day has become THE day to celebrate with those you love, is the largest engagement day of the year, and is the perfect day to have a wedding.
This shoot envisions an elegant Valentine’s Day Wedding, however, this design style is perfect for any month of the year for an elegant wedding.
Design background ( a word from the wedding pros who put together this shoot) :
“Less is More, Elegant Black and White – A black and white table design for Valentine’s Day creates a modern, elegant atmosphere, with bold contrasts and subtle romantic touches, perfect for a chic and memorable celebration.
One of the core elements of the “Less is More” trend is that it relies on fewer, but more impactful, details. By limiting your color palette to black and white, you can focus on high-quality design elements that speak volumes. Think crisp white linens, sleek black charger plates paired with beautiful white modern dinner plates, minimalist floral arrangements, and a tasteful menu design adorned with a satin bow. By using simple designs, you allow your guests to appreciate the artistry and thought behind each detail.
When it comes to wedding cakes, the trends are ever-evolving. While elaborate, multi-tiered confections once dominated the wedding scene, the 2025 wedding cake trend is shifting toward a more refined, subtle, and intimate choice. Trending is the buttercream traditional small wedding cake—a design that effortlessly combines nostalgia, simplicity, and flavor into one timeless piece. If you’re planning a small wedding or simply want a cake that highlights the essence of love in its purest form, this trend is made for you.
In 2025, bows are making a comeback as a key design element in fashion and wedding trends, adding a playful yet sophisticated touch to everything from bridal gowns to reception decor.
The 2025 wedding trend showcases a chic, minimalist approach with simple white and black invitation suites, offering a timeless and sophisticated design that sets the tone for an elegant celebration.“
