The L❤️️VEliest holiday of the year deserves a beautiful table setting for the ones you love. Even if it's just for you.
Gather pretty pieces you have - mixed up vintage china from your grandmother; linens, lace, and pink organza napkins; Valentine candy heart boxes covered in pretty paper and vintage velvet millinery filled with treasures and treats...
Here are three different ideas anyone can do - glamorous, traditional, and whimsical - be adventurous and creative!
There are no rules.

A glamorous and a sexy styled table for two...
Mix up textures and layers - a gilded twig placemat, gold leaf charger, fine china, a playful putti (and some cheeky cheeks), and a bursting red heart tied with a golden and silky satin bow.
A love letter.
Sip something sweet from a ruby red Italian wine goblet.
It's all about theatre - the whimsical cupid and a paper bouquet of musical hearts add to the ambience. A lace napkin is tied up with a red beaded tassel and ruby heart and rhinestone clip.

For your little loves...have a little fun with a non-traditional color scheme.
Turquoise and red! What better whimsical and retro color combination for Valentine's Day!
Glittered paper hearts scattered on the table.
A strand of acrylic heart shaped twinkle lights sparkle.
Italian (of course) scallopped plates are layered on floral metal chargers. A vibrant red floral napkin is a beautiful and fun contrast to the turquoise woven placemat. Tie it up with a ribbon to a voluptuous red felt rose and you have a napkin ring!
Red and white paper straws with hearts and stripes; Valentine boxes filled with who-knows-what; and the most important of all - a book, A Token of Friendship, to remind all of us to love one another and be kind.

So, you want a pink party for your best friends...
Set it up with PINK!
Vintage Valentines.
A bowl of pink camellias.
Layers of Battenberg lace, mixed with aluminum lace chargers, a handmade book for love notes, vintage Haviland china, a box of pink champagne truffles, and sweet surprises tucked away in a ruffled heart box.

Valentine's Day has become quite commercial over the years, but remains a special day in my heart. Just because.
Happy Valentine's Day.
Enjoy a L❤️️VE day, every day...and set a beautiful table, for any reason.
