Many of today\u2019s brides have romantic wedding wishes for a Valentines Day Wedding<\/a>. This is, after all, the \u2018holiday of love\u2019 and of romance\u2026and for many of our local New Jersey wedding<\/a> couples, Valentine\u2019s Day is the same holiday on which they became engaged. So they love to come full-circle, embrace the heart-filled wedding theme, and plan their wedding to include Valentine\u2019s Day elements both large and small.<\/p>\n

Here at the Pleasantdale Chateau in West Orange, we\u2019ve worked with countless brides and grooms to help them design their dream wedding celebrations at our Northern New Jersey venue, and we\u2019ve often transformed our ballroom into a Valentine\u2019s Day wonderland filled with lovely, fragrant floral arrangements, romantically flickering candles, and other idyllic, mood-setting wedding d\u00e9cor touches.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re dreaming about your own romantic wedding day, we offer you this list of our favorite Brides\u2019 Wedding Wishes for Valentine\u2019s Day weddings.<\/p>\n

Romantic Red Flowers. Many of our brides wish for a vibrant, red color palette in their wedding d\u00e9cor designs and centerpiece colors. Their bridesmaids will be wearing lipstick-red gowns, they\u2019ll carry lipstick-red bouquets, the vision is all-red. As a leading NJ wedding venue<\/a>, we can tell you to add some additional colors to the mix. Red is the most difficult color to match perfectly from item to item, from clothing to flowers to linens. The color red comes in so many different hues \u2013 from lighter red to lipstick red to a blue-tinted red — we warn against choosing red as your color for everything. Instead, consider the big new trend of Valentine\u2019s Day wedding d\u00e9cor in reds and several different hues of deep pinks and light pinks to create that romantic Valentine\u2019s Day theme with a pretty range of romantic colors that pop in person and in pictures.<\/p>\n

\u2022\tRomantic Soft Lighting. A dimly-lit room with a sea of flickering candles creates the ultimate romantic ambiance, and our brides\u2019 wedding wishes for Valentine\u2019s Day always include soft candlelight. We, of course, agree that nothing says romance like the glow of candlelight, so we show the trends of tall pillar candles in red or white or patterned red and pink candles, plus candelabras and a large number of votive candles as a multi-tiered, top wedding d\u00e9cor trend maximized to make our brides\u2019 wedding wishes come true. We can even have our lighting design team create special lighting effects throughout the room, with soft amber lights trained on the guest tables, and perhaps a pale pink light trained on the wedding cake.<\/p>\n

\u2022\tRomantic Menu. An indulgent, gourmet wedding menu includes romantic dishes such as caviar-topped salmon and other culinary choices, and our brides\u2019 wedding wishes now focus more often on the tastes of the menu, not the literal, clich\u00e9 Valentine\u2019s Day interpretations of foods that may be cut into heart-shaped bites or sprinkled with pink sugar. Rather than shapes and colors, our New Jersey and New York City brides and grooms wish to dispense with the formulaic and have our banquet chefs present them with an array of gourmet foods for the cocktail hour and dinner. Romantic foods need not be pink or heart-shaped. They are to be delectable, savored and shared by guests.<\/p>\n

\u2022\tRomantic Drinks. Our brides\u2019 Valentine\u2019s Day wedding wishes include fine wines and elite champagnes from our sommelier\u2019s list of award-winning vintages, and the champagne toast is the #1 wedding wish for a romantic Valentine\u2019s Day wedding.<\/p>\n

\u2022\tRomantic Entertainment. At a Valentine-themed wedding, the bride\u2019s biggest wish is for plenty of romance, and that means slow-dancing to beautiful music played by a wedding band or wedding deejay. The couple\u2019s playlist includes their favorite songs from throughout their courtship, the songs that share their love story, played for a longer period of time during the reception\u2019s dancing hours.<\/p>\n

Additional wedding wishes for Valentine\u2019s Day-themed weddings include heart-shaped chocolates and gourmet truffles to enhance the wedding cake, additional wedding d\u00e9cor such as heart-shaped ice sculptures, and lighting effects that project images of intertwined hearts on the ballroom dance floor and walls, along with a projection of the couple\u2019s names or monogram. These design elements combine to bring the bride\u2019s wedding wishes to life and make the couple\u2019s Valentine\u2019s Day celebration an elegant expression of what they consider to be the hallmarks of a romantic wedding.<\/p>\n
