Dark Valentine's Day look as seen on @offbeatbride

A sexy and dark Valentine’s Day look with inspiration from The Crow

This dark Valentine’s Day shoot is glamorously cool with moody reds, greys, and rich purples as the color palette and The Crow as aesthetic inspiration. We love us some pastels, but sometimes you just want to savor the dark side. Add in a ’20s-inspired dress, a few red hearts, a bunch of lush florals, and a wicked helipad venue,
Ventanas in Atlanta, and you’ve got our new favorite dark Valentine’s Day look.

A heart-themed reader photo round-up in honor of Valentine’s Day

Every Monday we usually feature reader photos that have been recently uploaded to our Flickr pool. This week I decided to mix it up and search our reader photo archives for a very special heart-themed edition to get us all in the mood for Valentine’s Day. And ooh boy did I hit the jackpot. There are hearts made of hands, stone, wood, LEGO, and even fire.
