Happy Valentine’s Day! It’s that time of year again. As soon as the Christmas decorations come down, the red and pink hearts commence their domination at nearly every turn it seems. As you may have figured out by now, the very last word in my personal dictionary is “conforming.” Who says Valentine’s decor has to be red and pink? We want to inspire you to think outside the box. When setting a holiday table, you should always stay true to yourself and your design taste. Our home is very neutral, and often the only color you will distinctly notice is in the fresh flowers we purchase. I thought it would be fun to skip the red roses and pink hearts and put together an elegant dining table for a small Valentines dinner party.
Valentine’s Day has historically been a “couples” holiday. So, why not change it up a bit? Invite two to three couples over for dinner and allow them to share your dining table which I hope fits your personality and style. I love fresh flowers and subtle hints that relate to the theme of the evening. Below you will find examples which I hope you will find inspiring and relevant to your decor goals. Please enjoy the tour and I would be grateful if you would tell a friend about Decor Gold Designs! Thank you so much for visiting.

Simple white dishes are a classic choice.
Eucalyptus provides the base for a garland-style table runner.
Hydrangeas and miniature roses, both packed with petals add delicate beauty to the greenery.
Tiny mercury glass hearts hang from the chandelier.
On the plates, a small heart-shaped dish acts as a subtle Valentine’s symbol.
Votives with candles help set the mood.
Happy Valentine’s Day!

Thank you so much for your comment. As a new blogger, I don’t have the experience to advise you properly. My website designer is amazing though and I’m sure she could help you. Her name is Tana and her email address is [email protected]
Hi Lauri, I want to thank you for your kind words. You found me before I announced my website (or even knew how to respond to comments) so I want to apologize for the delayed response. I am not a natural writer, so I haven’t written much and also have yet to experience writer’s block. I will say, for other creative endeavors, I try to eliminate all distractions before I begin…television off, pets in a different room, etc. I hope this helps and thanks so much for being my first comment and visitor!
Such a beautiful tabletop display!! This is Valentine’s decor on the sophisticated side. So fresh, too.
Congrats on your website and blog, Jennifer. Delighted to find you.
xoxo
