Valentine’s Tablescape 2020

Happy Valentine’s Day!

This is this year’s Valentine’s Tablescape. I had a lot of fun putting this one together.

I stayed with reds this year. The base is a red tablecloth covered with white lace to break up the red.

Starting with a red charger that I had gotten at Michaels, years ago. I added a red dinner plate from the Dollar Tree. The salad plate & bowl are from Better Homes & Gardens that I’ve had for over 20 years. The flatware I believe I got at Ollie’s. The napkins are from Walmart & the napkin rings were made using satin ribbon, heart gems added to a Dollar Tree silver napkin rings.

The centerpiece is made from 3 goblets that are from the BH&G set. I glued the center goblet on to a crystal bowl to give it height. The bowl was filled with red roses. I surrounded the bowl & goblets with red roses & glitter hearts. Red glass heart scatter & rhinestones were added to give it a little ‘bling’. I love the way the diamond pattern of the goblets light up when the candles are lit.

Valentine Love Tablescape

Valentine’s Day is only a week away, and it’s such a romantic time for me.  That’s the day that the love of my life proposed to me.  When I think of Valentine’s Day, it’s always filled with hearts & love.  I thought this week’s tablescape should be filled with those.  This is my Valentine Love Tablescape:

Quick Centerpiece Alternatives

If you made the Valentine’s Day Candle, but you just don’t have the time to make the centerpiece, I have a couple of easy alternatives for you.

How about some garland?  Just wrap the bottom of the candle with some Valentine’s Day garland.  Adds some bling, and balances out the candle with some weight to the bottom.

Or how about a boa?  Wrap the base of the candle with a red boa.

Not enough ‘bling’?  Add some glitter heart shaped stickers to the boa.

Have fun with it!  Valentine’s Day is not only a romantic holiday, but it’s a fun & sweet holiday.  Make it your own. You’re only limited by your imagination!

Repurposed Valentine’s Day Centerpiece

I love after Christmas bargains.  Such pretty things at half the price.  I was shopping at Walmart when I found this Better Homes & Gardens centerpiece.  I couldn’t resist it.  But its design limited me to Christmas.  I had a better idea:

What you’ll need:

Wire Cutters

Silk Ivy bush (JoAnn Fabrics), cut apart at base

Silk Rose Bush (JoAnn Fabrics), cut apart at base

Red heart shaped scatter stones (Dollar Store)

12″ x 12″ mirror tile (Walmart)
