You love us, you love us not.  You love us, you love us not.  You love us!  Yay!  We here at QCWeddings.com love our brides and grooms and vendors, and we hope that everyone has a wonderful Valentine's Day whether you celebrate out on the town or snuggled up next to your SO on the sofa.

With Valentine's Day coming up, I just can't get enough of the color pink.  Pink, pink, and more pink do I see when I'm doing my wedding research.  Here are bunch of my favorite pink wedding pictures.  Too girly?  Maybe not girly enough!  

Are you going for a pink or other Valentine's Day inspired theme?  Hearts?  Cupids?  

Roses are red, violets are blue.  We love our weddings and our readers do too!  Okay, okay, love birds, so I'm not a poet.  But I do want to wish you sweethearts a lovely, lovely Valentine's Day.  It's a commercially contrived holiday full of expectations and overpriced trinkets, but ONLY if you make it that way.  Here are ten things from AskMen.com that you can do on this day that aren't corny, cliched, or contrite:

1 - Reinact your first date.

2 - Enjoy the last weeks of winter (yay) with some outdoor activities - sledding, skiing, or skating anyone?

3 - Get a couple's massage. 

4 - Leave rose petals on trails around the house.

5 - Get a hotel room - why not do some homework on potential honeymoon suites?

6 - Unplug your electronics and stay home!

7 - Go somewhere brandnew for a walk, a dinner, or just to hang out.

8 - Get away - drive somewhere or last minute fly somewhere warmer than ici.  :)

9 - Get dressed up and go out to see and be seen by other love birds.

10 - Work together on a piece of the wedding - vows, making decors, whatever...just make sure it's not a stressful planning activity!

And for your visual enjoyment - here's a Valentine's Day inspiration board...just in case you're planning a wedding for this time next year and need a little dose of lovely...

Happy Valentines Day!  It's 6am, do you know where your love is?  Mine is sleeping in, and I've been debating for the past half hour if jumping on him with a big plate of heart-shaped pancakes would be viewed as loving or antagonizing at this fine hour.  Maybe I'll wait until I finish this post before I rip the covers off of him!  :)

Along with weddings, Valentines Day is one of the biggest occasions to send a note or a card to someone.  Some of us are the Hallmark aisle kinda people, and some of us are happy to make something to send to our friends and family.

Don't deny it. We all love the candy hearts, perforated cards, and everything smattered in pink and red.

While in general, I'm not an over-the-top Valentines Day person, I do love the color palette and the subtle gestures of love and friendship. Today we are displaying a few inspiration boards found around the blog world that show how some people have turned a cheesy-peasy cliched* holiday into something beautiful for their weddings!

This post does a double service of providing wedding inspiration and also reminding all of us that we may need to go out and purchase some candy hearts and/or perforated cards and/or something smattered in pink and red...
