Tone-on-Tone Elegance

While cozy layers of winter whites and tone-on-tone décor reign supreme during the coldest months, welcoming a touch of warmth and color to the table can add an inviting twist to Valentine’s Day. Using your favorite hue as an accent, deck the table with colored candles, glassware, place settings, and florals. A selection of soft blush makes for a romantic nod to a wintertime table.

Soft and Serene

Entice your guests to stay awhile by making them as cozy as possible. Bring in upholstered armchairs and layer with textured throws and pillows. For a table runner, use tulle or another delicate fabric that pools at the bottom and gently flows along the table.

Natural Touches

Celebrate the beauty of the season by bringing in natural elements from your own backyard. Pine cones, branches, and clipped evergreens are perfect for adding a wintry touch to your Valentine’s Day table. For a more formal affair, the pine cones can be used as name card holders.

Comfortable and Cozy

Select self-serve options, like a charcuterie board and small bar on the sideboard, to keep conversation flowing without interruptions or distractions, which lets guests feel more at home. For a fun twist, encase small flower arrangements or bud vases in glass domes.
