Elements such as fragrant flowers, curving lines, and hidden elements add to the romance of landscape design. Remember that the thrill of romance thrives on what is unseen. If you tuck a water feature, such as a gurgling fountain, into a hidden corner of the yard where it will be heard before it is seen that enhances the mystery and the romance. Reinforce the romantic theme with latticework and take advantage of the lower hanging branches of established trees to hang lighting or netting to foster a sense of privacy and seclusion. Look for a corner to establish for those moments of romance. Maybe add a small table and chairs or some soft cushions for snuggly seats to reinforce the romantic mood of getting away from it all!
