Roses are the go to choice for Valentine’s Day florals, which means they are quite a bit more expensive during the holiday. Instead, consider variations of roses, other blooms, or an assortment of different flowers within the same color palette. Adding non-floral touches – feathers, crystal, pearls – to your bouquet, flower crown, centerpieces and decor is also a great way to create a romantic look without over indulging on flowers.

There is so much going on and so many people to talk to that you hardly get to enjoy being newlyweds in the aftermath of the ceremony. Have your wedding planner set aside time for you two to be alone – a room reveal, private cake cutting, first look, etc.
