Hello, sweet readers! We’ve got one more V-Day post for you (did you catch last week’s red round-up and purple tablescape?). This one’s all about hearts. And the best thing about these hearts? They’re not just for Valentine’s Day! We think most of these ideas could be used at a wedding year-round. After all, weddings, at any time of the year, are about love, are they not? Let’s dive in!

First, we’ve got hearts for you hair, your shoes, your fingers.

That darling heartband is from ban.do (and bonus: all of their Valentine’s Day goodies are on sale for 25% off right now!). The eensy rose gold heart ring is from Catbird. Giant Dwarf makes the most magical heart and star crowns and hairpins. Check out the heart boutonniere by Alison Conklin on Ruffled.

Now that you’ve outfitted yourself, it’s time to outfit your reception!

Hand a balloon to every guest and amazing photos are sure to follow! (Photos by Youkeun Oh via Style Me Pretty). We loved the bold heart programs from this fun wedding by Our Labor of Love (see more here and here!). This thumbprint heart print from Nella Designs would make such a neat focal point propped up at your reception, and these thumbprint napkins are just genius (photo by Kristin Spencer). How about gifting each of your guests an adorable Cupid Kit from Paper + Twine? The last three images are all from a GORGEOUS wedding by Jose Villa (planned by Instead of You). Where oh where did the bride get those giant vintage tin hearts??

Lastly, these sweet ideas were much too delicious-looking to pass up. And that gold foil cake — I die!

That to-die-for gold foil mini cake? The instructions are right here, on Sweetapolita. This is Glamorous shared these heart tarts. The conversation heart cookies and heart macarons? Not sure where those came from. Shout out in the comments if you know!

Happy Valentine’s Day!

    I am not one to gravitate to heart items generally but found myself swooning over a few of your finds! The thumbprint heart print is too cute- and would be adorable at a reception and later hung in an entryway or nook in the newlywed homestead! I also love, love, love the huge huge vintage tin hearts! The conversation cookies are also adorable. Happy Valentine’s Day, ladies. Thanks for always providing me with a daily dose of Southern inspiration
    !

    Where did those thumbprint napkins come from? So cute

      Hi Katie! I don’t have a source for the fingerprint napkins, but my best guess is that they were a custom-designed product. To replicate the look, have a designer work with your fingerprints, and then send the art to For Your Party (foryourparty.com) to have it printed on cocktail napkins. Their prices are super reasonable!

    I’m such a sucker for hearts. Super cute ideas! The balloons are my favorite. I’ve never seen any like that.

We’re back with another peek at a V3 feature! When you break it down, this shoot is really an ode to four things:

1) young love and honeymoon bliss
2) the beauty of Asheville, North Carolina
3) the ridiculous behind-the-camera talent of Jose Villa and Jen Curtis
4) the styling savvy of one Joy Thigpen

Seriously, though, didn’t she do an amazing job matching Caroline’s dress and accessories to the balloons? Genius. Pick up a copy of V3 to read about our eight favorite Southern honeymoon destinations, with input from SW editors as well as Kathryn of Snippet & Ink, Lauren from I Love You Much, the experts at Asheville Event Co, and Whitney of Darling Dexter. And don’t miss the full gallery, with tons of additional photos!

P.S. Since we have gotten oh so many questions about the gorgeous rainbow dress featured here, I’ll go ahead and tell you that it’s by Thread. The rest of the credits are below!

The talented vendors involved:

Photography: Jose Villa and Jen Curtis // Stylist: Joy Thigpen // Florals: Stacey Brown, The Bloom Room // Dress: Thread // Menswear: Julian’s // Hair and Makeup: Jessica Schrago // Models: Robbie and Caroline from Directions USA // Hot Air Balloons: Asheville Hot Air Balloons

    I went on a hunt to find this dress to buy it but Thread doesn’t sell it anymore!! so sad! If you know where I can find it again, let me know.

    Other than that, this is probably my favorite shoot of all time. The styling is amazing and Jose Villa did a magical job with the photos!! Swoon.

    I was wondering where to buy that hat box. I think it’s a hat box.. it looks so gorgeous and would be lovely to take whenever I travel.

    The wedding car is amazing! I think vintage cars are the best for weddings!

    My mind was just blown, and it’s way too early in the morning for that. These images are so stunning. Clean, fresh, vibrant yet soft, the best.
