Floral Valentine’s Day Table

Thanks For Sharing!

It’s my first touch of spring on the blog! We just got back from a snowy weekend in the mountains, and we still have a lot of dreary days ahead but I love seeing pops of greenery and spring flowers throughout our home! Today, I’m joining Lory from Designthusiasm and a few other bloggers to bring you tons of entertaining ideas for Valentine’s Day!

I hope you all enjoyed Ann’s beautiful table over at On Sutton Place! With the holiday just a few weeks away, I’m showing you my Floral Valentine’s Day Table that will also work for the spring months ahead. I’m also going to share a few tips with you along the way.

Tips For A Valentine’s Day Table

  1. Purchase Grocery Stores Flowers

Fresh flowers are one of my go-tos when designing any table setting. They bring a fresh element to the table that make sit feel so inviting and full of life. You can go to the florist and spend way too much money on a few arrangements, or you can head to the grocery store and spend $12 on a bouquet of flowers and have some fun! I picked up two bouquets with similar colors, I wanted lots of greenery and touches of pink for my table.

2. Add Romantic Candles

2. Add delicious chocolates

4. Build A Table Runner With The Flowers

Deconstruct the bouquets and separate the greenery from the flowers. I start by placing the greenery down first. Eucalyptus is one of my favorites to work with. Gently tuck the flowers inside, just enough to give it a pop of color but still a whimsical feel. I nestled a few candles inside for a warm and romantic look. Finish off your table with a few truffles or other finger food treats for your guests to indulge in!

Here is a closer look at the full tablescape! I loved my Thanksgiving table so much, that I decided to do a similar look for spring but switch up the colors and give it a bit of a rustic look with wood rounds for chargers and wood slice napkin rings.

My husband and I rarely go out on Valentine’s Day. It’s never been a huge deal for us, and ever since we had kids we like to spend the night with them doing cutesy things like having heart shaped food for dinner! Plus finding a sitter on Valentine’s Day can be quite difficult. So I like having a full table set for the holiday, because we all eat together. This place setting would also work for a sweet Galentine’s Day with your girlfriends or spring luncheon!

    Taryn, I love the eucalyptus, too. I like how subtle the green is with a touch of blue. The coloring reminds me of blue spruce which is my favorite evergreen. I still love the rustic look for Valentine’s day. Simple Elegance. Hey, not to go off subject, but I noticed that on the right side of the blog “EXPLORE” has a typo. :) No biggie, but I figured you’d want it to get fixed. I make typos constantly when I type. Have a wonderful Valentine’s day.

    What a delightful post. Just a question: Why do you set your cutlery/silverware with forks on the right and the knife and spoon on the left side of the plates?

      Ha! Good catch. Honestly it was a total mistake. I was editing the photos and realized I switched them accidentally, oops!

    How far in advance can you lay out your fresh flowers before they begin to wilt?

      I would do it the day of, but no earlier. The next day mine was pretty dry.

    Imagine laying your table in winter with heater going would tend to dry out your lovely fresh flowers. Now how to keep them fresh before company comes and into the evening will have me pondering how to keep flowers fresh and cool, interesting conundrum to solve.
    I also admire eucalyptus, especially love lacy look of seeded eucalyptus with anything, especially other greens and just little bit of flowers, gives totally different effect. Love getting grocery store bouquets just to see what can be done with them. Like to mix different textures also.
    Fun to make sparse little nosegays for the guest bath to surprise and delight guests from same flowers on table.
    Your table is exquisite in its lack of formality but tenderness. Have lovely Sunday
