It may seem cheesy to have a Valentine’s Day themed wedding, but with the holiday falling on a Saturday this year, there are bound to be countless weddings with just that.  The look and feel of a Valentine’s Day wedding can be sophisticated, alluring and all-out romantic if it is done well.  Here’s my take:

From Left to Right, Top to Bottom:  Vera Wang Gown as shown on Blush; Wedding Cake with Fresh Flowers from Wedding Wire; Christian Louboutin Gabine satin slingbacks from Net-a-Porter.com; Purple and Pink table setting; Love Potion Valentine’s Day Party Invitation from Wedding Paper Divas.

I was happily surprised when I ran into one of Diva Dialogue’s readers the other day. Planning her own wedding, she was having some trouble deciding a color theme. With a preference for black, she asked me how to incorporate this palette into her wedding. Here’s my take on this dramatic, chic and formal hue.
