Stylish, Passionate, Starry-eyed Frames

Just like you, our frame mouldings come in all shapes, sizes, and personalities. That's why the team at Crestar wanted to curate a special selection of 15 mouldings that reminded us of Valentine's Day.  Some mouldings feel like a first kiss, others like a shared mortgage, which makes the most romantic frame for your projects a difficult choice!

We ranked our most romantic frames from fleeting sparks to forever loves just for you to enjoy.

Plus, one of these mouldings might be perfect for your next framing project. What a great way to see the best options for your gallery wall.

Ready to dive in? Let's start from the bottom: 

 

Not-so-Romantic-Romantics

The club flings frame. ranked 15. Says "Bass in your chest and neon lights. Names forgotten, moments remembered. A spark that burned bright and fast. Fun while it lasted."

These frames by FPF Moulding say grab a drink and party with us this Valentine's Day. Great for digital artworks, posters, and photographs these mouldings give your space a pop of color without taking over. But in this romantic line-up they make us say... what was your name again?

 

The twin flames. ranked 14. Says "mirrored souls and magnetic pull. Chaos and clarity intertwined. A love that challenges and transforms. Intense, undeniable."

This moulding by Decor bumps up the passion with its fiery red color. It really turns up the heat! In terms of love though, I think we need a little more stability, which is why it lands on 14 in our list. These frames are perfect for bright florals and projects that need a little texture with their oomph of color. 

 

That old money love. ranked 13. Says "Heirlooms and handwritten notes. Summer homes and quiet gestures. Oil painted portraits"

This Omega moulding features the cutest floral details. Reminding us of solid gold bars and luxury family homes passed through generations. Perfect for small antique photos, watercolors, and more. This frame is enchanting, but maybe not the purest love we can find--giving it it's rank at 13.

 

 

The Fun, Light-hearted Romances

School Crush. Ranked 12. Says "Folded notes and nervous laughter. Lockers and long looks. Sweet, awkward, unforgettable."

 Bella Moulding brings us these candy-like frames. They remind us of elementary school parties and sugar-rushes. Great for cutsie artworks and owners that aren't afraid of a little color. While we love how bright these frames are, they aren't saying 'forever together'... giving it it's rank at #12.

 

The Divas. Ranked 11. Chappel Roan on the highway. Feathers and high heels. Applause wherever they go."

Bella Moulding brings us yet another amazing frame featuring sequins!! Perfect for ballet pics, BFF photoshoots, and superstar couple highlights.  Take us to the pink pony club Bella!

 

 

The emoji couple. rank 10. Says "Inside jokes and unreadable texts. A paragraph for #one-year. Screens glowing side-by-side at midnight."

Another killer Bella Moulding feature, this moulding is straight to the point and soooo adorable. We can see a lot of fun project opportunity with this one, especially for those anniversary pics. We would love to see this paired with a bigger frame too. While not our most warm-and-fuzzy frame, we still thought it deserved to be in the top 10!

 

Taking it to the Next Level

The Fine Diners. Ranked 9. Says "Candlelight and linen napkins. A glance across the table that says everything. Networking at the bar. Fresh lipstick."

Bella moulding gives us smoldering romance with these Bada Bing shimmer frames. Soft and cushy to the touch, they remind us of luxury booths at your favorite special-occasion restaurant. This couple is sticking together and making money moves like the best #PowerCouples ... giving it it's #9 spot.

 

 

The studded lovers. ranked 8. Leather jackets and bar hopping. Concerts and a stolen alleyway kiss. Studded boots and smoke."

Bella Moulding brings us rockin' romance with their Bijou line. With silver studs that have us on the edge of our seats! This couple is soo in love, and likely because they're kissing in the mosh-pit as we speak. We love this unique moulding, giving it it's #8 ranking.

 

 

The nursery builders. ranked 7. Says "paint swatches and late nights. Tiny socks and hopeful plans. A future built gently, together."

Bella brings us this soft embossed floral moulding that reminds us of new additions to the family. This couple is locked-in and ready to spread the love to their mini-mes -- giving it it's #7 rank. Perfect for baby pictures, delicate florals, and more.

 

The diehards. ranked 6. Says "Love proven year after year, win or lose. A punch after a cat-call. The till-death-do-us-parters. Sweetarts.

Roma moulding brings us this blood-stained showstopper in "Rebel Rose." While this may not be the best outcome for a first date, this frame has us thinking about the love found in having each other's backs-- giving it its #6 rank. Works great for framing abstract artworks! Don't believe us? We have a large work framed in this line in our lobby, painted by one of our staff members, Justine.

 

The Ultimate Romances

The perfect vows. ranked 5. Says "Pressed suits and soft veils. Voices steady, hands shaking. Promises spoken slowly and meant deeply. The moment everything changed."

Bella moulding is getting us ready to walk the aisle with their crepe shimmy cap moulding. Finished by artists in Italy (as all Bella mouldings are) this moulding is unique and made to shine. We can see a lot of special projects being made with this moulding, giving it its #5 rank.

 

 

Old love. ranked 4. Says "Worn pages and shared silence. Coffee made just the way you like it. Hands that know where to rest. Love that doesn't rush."

Fotiou brings us this heartwarming frame with a leafed floral motif. We love the distressed quality of these frames and their sweet details. Plus, it reminds us of "forevers" and true happiness with a partner who knows you completely -- giving it its #4 rank. 

 

 

The princess treatment. rank 3. says "prosecco and pet names. open doors and open arms. salon appointments scheduled with a kiss."

Fotiou brings us another beauty that features a rose gold leaf. This frame reminds us of royal romances and opulent balls. Great for dainty projects, portraits, and sweet artworks. We think we'd go crazy for this romance on the big-screen, so we gave it its rank at #3.

 

 

The thrifters. rank 2. says " trinkets and strawberry matcha dates. Apartments full of whimsy. pink kisses on the loveseat. funny pet portraits on the mantel."

Roma Moulding brings us this jaw-dropping frame. Not only is it a tall-and-proud moulding, but also a pleasant tactile experience. We can see this frame being so fun for pet portraits and other quirky projects. The colors and cake-like decoration scream Valentine's Day for us-- which is why it sits #2 on our leaderboard. 

 

 

 

The honeymoon stage. rank 1. says "dates that last forever. butterflies in your belly. many, many firsts. a warm, fuzzy feeling."

Finally, Bella moulding brings us this gorgeous frame with an ornate ripple cap. With soft petal-like curves, opulent edges, and a subtle blush complexion this frame screams "be my Valentine." This #1 frame would be perfect for framing dream wedding photos, delicate artworks, and maybe even scarves & other pretty items.
