Enchanting Valentine's Day Table Setting Ideas

One of the most delightful holidays is Valentine's Day! In the midst of February's dark days and challenging weather, comes a day to celebrate love, whether that means romance, friendship, or family.
 
When you decide to set a Valentine's table, where do you begin? Do you choose a theme such as hearts and flowers, or pink and red? Do you make sure to include special goodies? If you don't know where to start, I've selected some enchanting table setting ideas that you can use as inspiration for your own Valentine's table. Click on the highlighted titles to view the original posts with tableware details.
 
 
 
Tulips that were still tightly furled and chrysanthemums just beginning to unfold were the inspiration for a table that celebrates the interplay of white, gold and soft shades of pink and rose with flowers sprinkled throughout. 



    
What could be more romantic than flowers? Perhaps setting them amid violet, lavender, lilac and amethyst dishes, glassware and linens.
 
  
 
  
To set a simple celebration for just the two of us, I brought Valentine romance to the living room.   
 
 
 
   
This table was inspired by a beautiful tea set. Set for two, it features Irish breakfast tea, delectable sweet and savory treats, fresh flowers and candles.   
 
  
 
 
I designed a table that celebrates Valentine's by focusing on romance through artistry. And what better way to do that than selecting table linens and fine china that were a beautiful gift!
 
 
 
   
Celebrate with lovingly prepared foods, effervescent champagne, chocolate mousse for dessert, and candlelight to delight the senses! All sit on a vibrant field of flowers — a gorgeous hand-embroidered scarf. 
 

 
 
Pink sets the tone, in a strong shade that conveys a festive holiday. Hidden at each place setting is a glittered heart, the only obviously 'Valentine' decor.
 

 

For a Valentine's dinner celebrated with family, I chose sentimental tableware in delicate shades of pink and white as the basis for the design.
 


 
I hope that you've enjoyed seeing the tables I've set for Valentine's Day. I also hope that I've inspired you to set an enchanting table of your own!
