Valentine's Day was already becoming popular in the 18th century, and by the turn of the 19th century, Cupid had become linked to the holiday for his love-creating abilities.
Rich red is, of course, always appropriate, as are classic black or white styles. Sultry details like bustier-inspired bodices, ruching, ruffle hems, and off the shoulder necklines are playful and flirty for V-Day, whether you're doing girls night out or a romantic dinner.
When shopping for your Valentine's Day outfit, search for romantic elements and details, such as puffed sleeves, lace, or ribbon details. For a romantic look that is always in style, try wearing clean and simple winter whites for your Valentine's Day outing.
He often appeared as a winged infant carrying a bow and a quiver of arrows whose wounds inspired love or passion in his every victim. He was sometimes portrayed wearing armour like that of Mars, the god of war, perhaps to suggest ironic parallels between warfare and romance or to symbolize the invincibility of love.
This is the story of the love between Cupid and Psyche. Psyche, who is the goddess of the soul is draped in white to represent innocence. She amorously reaches for a red draped Cupid, God of desire, representing the bond of love and soul through its narrowly lit focus.
Cupid is the Roman god of love, desire, and attraction. He is the son of Venus, and his father is thought to be either Vulcan or Mars. In the Greek pantheon, he is known as Eros, the god of love and lust. Originally depicted as a winged youth, through the centuries he has evolved to be the chubby cherub known today.
We all know Cupid can make people fall in and out of love, but did you know he was once in love himself? In this tale, Cupid is a little older, a young man, so the idea of him in romantic love is a bit more palatable than picturing a chubby baby falling in love with a lady.
Cupid was never going to be an angel. Cupid was born out of an affair – one of many – that his married mother, the love Goddess Venus, was having with Cupid's father – the God of War, Mars. A turbulent conception by parents with turbulent personalities. Fitting, then, that in Roman mythology Cupid is the God of Desire.
Pink and Red are the most commonly worn colours on Valentine's Day. These also happen to be one of the best colour combinations for a statement outfit. Red signifies love and pink means gentleness.
The answer is most certainly, yes! There are all different approaches to Valentine's Day date style and they all depend on the type of date you're going to be going on. For more casual dates, putting together an outfit with jeans is a great idea.
If you're going out but want to keep things more low-key, Gulbransen suggests pairing your favorite pants or jeans with a Valentine's Day-inspired blouse or sweater. Or, you can up the ante and try a fun pair of red trousers.
In Western cultures, red and pink dominate the Valentine's Day palette. These colors are widely recognized and celebrated, appearing in everything from decorations to greeting cards.
Flirt a little bit by telling her something you wish you could do together. It's okay to mention some things you want to do physically, but you should probably only say something risqué if you're already pretty close with the girl you're texting so you don't make her feel uncomfortable.
Original depictions show Cupid as a slender young man or boy with wings carrying a bow and arrows. However, later art from the fifth century does portray him as the child cherub more recognizable today. Symbolically, Cupid's wings are thought to represent the flighty aspects of love.
He is also portrayed as wielding a bow and arrows with very special powers: any human or even god who is struck by one of Cupid's arrows becomes overcome with love and desire, making him the perfect catalyst for a number of myths. Sometimes, he is depicted wearing a blindfold to symbolize that love is often blind.
By concealing his appearance, Cupid can ensure that Psyche loves him for who he is on the inside, rather than being influenced by his physical beauty. Second, Cupid's mother, Venus, had grown jealous of Psyche's beauty and had commanded Cupid to make her fall in love with a hideous creature.
