Whether you're planning an intimate date or a gathering of several loved ones, these table settings are perfect for your Valentine's Day dinner.
For Valentine's Day, think red, pink and white when choosing your linen colors. Consider how the colors will best complement each other when paired with your dinnerware and accessories. If you plan to use a lot of red items on your tabletop, you may wish to contrast them with a white or pink tablecloth.
Use red satin or a heart print, wired ribbon to tie your flatware together in a Valentine's Day bow. The same ribbon can replace traditional napkin rings when tied around your linen napkins. Finally, adorn the stems of your wine glasses with the same ribbon to create a cohesive table setting.
To add romantic lighting, set a single, tea light or votive candle in a red, heart shaped candleholder at each place setting. Consider flameless candles to achieve the same romantic lighting without risk of injury to dinner guests.
Sprinkle Valentine's candy "confetti" around your tablescape. Candy items that can serve as decorative confetti include conversation hearts or red and silver wrapped chocolate kisses and hugs.
A vase of fresh roses is a simple, yet elegant centerpiece for your Valentine's Day table. Scatter rose petals on the table around the vase. Lay a single rose across each dinner plate.
Happy Valentine's Day!
