Introduce black in your decoration to turn it more elegant or include white as the main colour. One of our most distinguished options is the pearl grey colour with which you can combine warmer colours. However, if you want to go with fashion, Pantone has chosen “Radiant Orchid” as the colour of the year for 2014, ideal for St. Valentine. It is a lively tone with which you can combine fresh flowers to create an inspiring centre piece.
As the legend says, St. Valentine was a priest from Ancient Rome. The emperor Claudio II had forbidden marriages between young couples as he believed that young single men were better soldiers. St. Valentine disobeyed this order, becoming then the patron of love. As he continued to marry young couples, he was sent to prison where he fell in love with the jail keeper’s daughter to whom he wrote his last letter on a 14th of february, signing “…your Valentine”.
