Romance is an ardent emotional attachment or involvement between
people. It is a love idealised for its purity and beauty. Valentines Day
is a day that speaks of love and romance. It is considered one of the
most romantic days of the year.
Valentines Day Colours
Colours are known to have a direct effect in the mood or the atmosphere
one wants to create. The colours of choice for a romantic rendezvous are
red, blue, white, violet and pink. The colour red defines passion and
energy. It also evokes energy and conversation and is a great appetite
simulator. Blue and white communicate trust and relaxation and thus
evokes a feeling of general calm in the atmosphere.
Violet, the combination of red and blue is understood to represent a
general feeling of comfort and ease. Another colour that can be used to
create an atmosphere of love and romance is pink. This colour is gentle
and soothing and stands for a naïve and innocent form of love. Use
the appropriate colour schemes in your wardrobe and your home decor for
a magical Valentine's Day.
Aromas That Spell Romance
Valentine candles and perfumes can be used to set the mood of
Valentine's
Romance. In Valentine candles, light floral scents are considered
traditionally romantic. An earthy scent like fresh cut grass or the
smell of fresh fruits is also deliciously pleasing. Cinnamon, candy and
the aroma of freshly baked cookies are some of the other popular scents
used in Valentine candles. The candles should be in earthen colors or
calm and pleasing shades that inspire romance.
Aromatic oils and incense to add romance to the occasion. Some romantic
aromas or romantic scents such as sandalwood, jasmine, cinnamon and
anise can be used to make the atmosphere pleasurable and inviting.
Flower petals can be added for that final touch. The things to be most
kept in mind is that one should not overdo things, the scents should not
be overpowering and should be in keeping with the mood and preferences
of both you and your Valentine.
Music and Romance
There is nothing like music to set the mood for a romantic evening. The
correct choice of music would make your Valentine feel cherished and
special. If it's your first date with that special someone, you would
probably want to avoid the classic love songs as you do not want to seem
overpowering in your approach.
The music should be in the background playing at a volume that is
non-interfering yet audible. The songs or instrumental music should be
mid-tempo, slow and soothing but not so much that they appear a drag.
With everything planned for an evening of love and romance, the wrong
music can spoil the mood and the outcome.
These are some of the essentials that will make your Valentine's Day
last in your memories forever. Be thoughtful and creative in your
approach yet sensitive to your Valentines' desires and you are sure to
recreate romance this Valentines Day.
