Valentine’s Day is on a Saturday this year, so there are bound to be thousands of weddings scheduled for this most romantic of days.  But if you’d dare to hold your wedding on this sugarcoated holiday, know that your guests are going to expect heart-shaped chocolates, rose petals, and other Cupid-approved decor.  

We assembled some of our favorite Valentine’s Day-themed wedding details that are sure to inspire even the most “Valentine’s Day is a corporate sham” kind of couples.

Blogger Lexi Ward made this EDIBLE confetti by taking a heart shaped hole-punch to some flattened out Airheads candy.  We just hope that birds can digest candy better than rice.
