Every 14^{th<\/sup> of February, in the U.S. and across the globe, flowers, chocolate and gifts are given to lovely ladies. All these are done in the name of Saint Valentine.<\/p>\n}

The Legend That Is St. Valentine <\/strong><\/p>\n

The history of this special day is tinged with both Roman and Christian traditions. But in order to truly understand how this day became such a hit among lovers, we have to know who St. Valentine really was.<\/p>\n

Catholics recognize three saints in the name of Valentine or Valentinus<\/em>. All three were martyred though there\u2019s one legend where Valentine was the priest who served in Rome during the third century. Emperor Claudius II, unfortunately, sent single men off as soldiers because he believed that they are better at battle than those who have wives.<\/p>\n

With this, Valentine started performing secret marriages for lovers. Not loving the defiance, Claudius had him put to death. There is another version wherein Valentine helped Christians in escaping from Roman prisons.<\/p>\n

Flowers Galore <\/strong><\/p>\n

Since love is in the air, it\u2019s time for you to give your home a little playful romantic ambience. You can express your affection through the decorative elements. The most popular, of course, are flowers and bouquets made with the most beautiful and colorful blossoms.<\/p>\n

Pink ranunculus is an amazing Valentine\u2019s Day gift and display. Every bloom varies in shade so even if you use just this one flower, you still achieve layering and depth because of the slightly different shades.<\/p>\n

Pink blossoms can also be attached to branches using a hot glue. This can become an arrangement that you can use even after Valentine\u2019s Day. Imagine all the months that it becomes a decorative piece in your living room \u2013 it\u2019s just amazing.<\/p>\n

Your options for floral arrangements can be displayed by the bedside, at the dining table, at the fireplace mantel, on the entryway credenza, the sofa, or the bed itself.<\/p>\n

Lovin\u2019 the Mantel <\/strong><\/p>\n

Surprise your loved one by dressing up the mantel. Use red pillar candles as well as candies inside decorative jars to decorate the mantel. Increase love in the air by adding a heart garland.<\/p>\n

Bright colors can effectively make the mantel pop. Give love <\/em>on V-day by painting chipboard letters. Spell L-O-V-E and paint it with red. If red is too clich\u00e9, use yellow with blue, pink and orange.<\/p>\n

Another way to decorate the mantel is to frame a chalkboard with a love message. Have a flower arrangement right beside this plus add the bottles of wine, sweets and candles to complete the ensemble.<\/p>\n

V-Day Wine <\/strong><\/p>\n

Give your loved one a date during this day and make sure you share a bottle of wine to celebrate your love. Wine is classy and is a great social tool.<\/p>\n
