Part three of the LOVE letter series covers how to draw the letter V with doves, featuring two white birds perched on top, red roses climbing up the letter, and wedding rings at the base. This decorated V has a romantic wedding theme with the doves symbolizing peace and love while the interlocked rings add a commitment element. The letter V shape works well for decorations since the angled sides create natural spaces for roses to grow upward.
Building a Decorated Letter V with Wedding Elements
This tutorial contains 31 step-by-step images that construct the letter V and all its decorative elements. The doves face each other from opposite sides of the letter top, roses in various stages of bloom fill the center space, and the wedding rings sit at the bottom point where the V meets.

Here’s the completed letter V with all its romantic decorations in place
This decorated letter V continues a four-part series spelling LOVE. The series started with the letter L decorated with ribbons and flowers, followed by the letter O shaped like a heart with cupid. After finishing this V, complete the word with the letter E featuring gifts and balloons. For practice drawing the individual elements, check out the single rose tutorial or the wedding rings guide. All four LOVE letters will be gathered along with other tutorials in a Valentine’s Day drawing collection on this site.
Working Through the Steps
Colors help navigate each step:
- Grey indicates foundation work from earlier steps
- Red shows new lines for the current step
- Black marks completed sections
With 31 steps, this letter V with doves takes some time to complete. Consider building in sections: start with the letter shape, add the doves, then work on the roses, and finish with the rings and hearts. The roses have layered petals that spiral outward, so practice the single rose tutorial first if you find them tricky. Draw the letter V with doves lightly in pencil, ink when satisfied, then erase pencil marks. Use soft pink for the letter, white for the doves, red for roses, and gold for the wedding rings.
