The Story Behind our Valentine’s Day Windows

“V” is for Valentine

Hyde Park’s window designer James Baack drew his inspiration for this year’s Valentine’s Day storefront windows from the deconstruction of the name “Valentine”. His concept evolved from the basic definition and meaning of Valentine’s Day, and all the thoughts, emotions, and ideas that are encompassed within the holiday’s name. Taking each letter of the name “VALENTINE(S)”, James was able to draw out the essence of a handful of emotions this holiday evokes and represents.

The contemporary ‘hot’ pink and chocolate brown color scheme is the perfect backdrop to showcase some of our favorite gift ideas for Valentine’s Day, including engagement rings, diamond and gemstone jewelry, men’s and ladies’ watches, and much, much more! Be sure to check out the windows at our Denver and Phoenix locations. Perhaps the Valentine’s Day buzz words (listed below) will inspire the perfect gift for your sweetheart!
