Moody Valentine’s Day Table

It’s been over a month since I shared a tablescape with you, so obviously I’m way over due! I have loved played around with all the beautiful blooms I gathered up for spring! You can see all of them in this post I did a few weeks ago. I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to play around with all the stems and create a fresh new tablescape for spring. I loved our Thanksgiving table so much that I decided to do a new spin on it and try out a Moody Valentine’s Day Table.

Modern Serving Pieces

Inexpensive Table Runner Ideas

For the table runner, I used a very inexpensive solution! I ordered this huge roll of black paper on Amazon and it has served so many purposes around here! I used it for wrapping gifts and I’ve also used it as a table runner for a couple of table set ups. The best part is, after the party is done roll it up and toss it in the recycle!

To add a little texture, I put a light weight linen fabric on top of the paper along with black beaded garland and then added my florals!

Floral Valentine’s Day Table

I gathered a collection of pillar candles, white matte vases and a few glass ones and filled them with simple and organic looking floral arrangements! I love how all of the deep red, blush pink and magenta florals pop against the black and white canvas. And all the cascading greenery, yes please. Now that adds a little romance to the table!

I purchased all the florals on this table from a couple of different grocery stores. Proof that anyone can put this together! When picking out flowers at the store, I always look for complimentary colors that would work well together, take everything apart and then create my own arrangements.

Valentine’s Day Table Decor

This table decor could easily work for a spring dinner party or Valentine’s Day Dinner for the whole family or just two!

Oh and side note, I still love this modern accent chair I got a few years ago and I’m playing around with the idea of getting a matching one and putting them on either end of our dining table to give it a statement look. Thoughts?

And now I’ll leave you with a few more photos of the table to look at!
