Make your Valentine’s Day table setting look personal, sweet, and stylish!
Ranging from soft, delicate color tones to contrasting traditional red and white color combinations, pleasantly surprise your loved ones and set the mood.
Choose from these festive, delicate, sweet, and energizing tablescape ideas and set a cozy and romantic Valentine’s Day table.
1. Checked Romance
Pull off a pretty and cozy table design inspired by the classic buffalo check red & white pattern.
Going for a checked tablecloth might be overwhelming, but using elements with this pattern, like plates and napkin ribbons, can style a lovely table.
A unique touch to this design is the vintage embroidered hankies, tied with a bow and placed upon white fabric napkins.
Sticking to the pattern scheme, an element of surprise is cute gift matchboxes; you can even DIY your ones and add candy inside.
2. Formal Elegance
Pastel pink and gold, simple and elegant, says it all! Create an exquisite white table with accents of pastel pink and gold.
For the centerpiece, align champagne glasses with pink roses and scatter a few hearts. A cute element of the heart can be pink heart-shaped side plates.
Mixing glasses is quite popular, so add a vintage touch with gold-rimmed glasses and light pink goblets. Matching the the gold-rimmed glasses with brass gold flatware is a classic.
3. Vintage
Turn a farm-style table into a charming and romantic setting! Dress it up with vintage items and use tones of red and pink.
There is no need for fancy tablecloths; natural woven jute placemats stand out on washed tables with white plates. Instead of an ordinary vase, use a galvanized bucket with pretty pink fresh flowers for a centerpiece.
Remind of charming sweetness with vintage red tins and a gorgeous felted pompom. For a romantic twinkle, add some string lights casually scattered.
4. Cottage Love
A cozy setting for two among spring flowers is just delightful! Tulips, roses, and peonies don’t hesitate to have them all. Arrange them in different color vessels according to the color scheme of your glasses.
Layer a white tablecloth with a small flower embroidered for lovely texture and color. Make sure that the colors of the embroidery work well with your blooms.
For red, pink, and white colors, silverware looks best.
5. Red & Pink
Elegantly tablescape with accent tones of red and pink. Create a lush centerpiece bursting with whimsical blooms that will add depth and personality to this gorgeous color scheme. For some vertical interest in the centerpiece, pop tall pink candles in a few places.
Personalize the place setting with cute heart name cards. Let red hearts accent the white and silver place setting with heart placemats and napkin holders.
6. Country Love
What’s a romantic table without flowers? Brighten up your table with a variety of romantic colors!
DIY a pretty centerpiece in a wooden box. Fill it with different pretty flowers ranging from roses and peonies to carnations. To give it some height and a twinkle, place some tall candles.
In cohesion with the wooden box centerpiece, use jute-woven placemats. Place a flower on the salad plate to make each guest feel special.
7. Spread The Love
Let the love spread all around and make your decorating extra special!
Consider small details like XOXO straws, heart arrow fork placing, and plates with love signs. Use pale pink placemats and plates and accent them with red napkins.
Shift from the standard roses and make a delicate bouquet with mini carnations and baby breath in a tall white jug.
Moving away from the table, spread the love with a love sign pillow and hanging string hearts as a window decoration.
8. Spring Romance
Love sprung by a sweetheart romance! The red truck is associated with hauling a Christmas tree, but the red color works just as great for a Valentine’s Day décor. So awaken a sense of a spring romance with fresh red tulips in a cute red truck.
Decorate your plates with pretty cherry blossoms placed upon a heart with scattered candy. Make your drinking experience fun with drinking jars, suitable for refreshing and tasty drinks.
9. Casual
Make the occasion a family gathering for brunch with a festive yet casual table. Play around and create a mix and match of different patterns.
Place a buffalo checked black table runner for some character and depth and in the middle a tall flower arrangement so you have height and plenty of free space.
Use paper plates and straws to make your table feel casual and fun.
Sprinkle some love across the table with some petals and hearts and enjoy your family time!
10. Heartwarming
Celebrate love with a sweet and colorful festive table!
Try a different centerpiece and create a coffee table-inspired vignette with a romantic whisper. You can use some items you already have, and since they’re in a tray, they’re easily removed from the table when needed.
Give your guests a sweet drive with a few tempting desserts on the table. Personalize each place setting with a small gift box and tie the cutlery with pretty ribbons.
Let there be love with heart-themed items like plates, napkins, and mason jars.
11. Fresh
Welcome freshness to the setting with lots of greenery. If you have some green foliage left from Christmas, put it to good use and decorate your table with it.
For a natural look, add a wooden craft circle in the middle of the table, like a coaster, to give height to a pretty white tulip bouquet.
Arrange the foliage around the bouquet and place white candles for a romantic twinkle. Use red paper hearts to top your table plating to remind of Valentine’s Day and include a personal love sign gift.
12. Candy Sweet
If you are sweet tooth lovers, make it fun and tasty! You can’t go wrong with candy and chocolate. Let center stage take over a chocolate fondue fountain machine and get creative with what you offer to dip in the chocolate.
Candles set a romantic atmosphere, but with this table, they will also come in handy for your marshmallows.
Make your plating colorful and fun, starting with a bright pink placemat layered over with heart-shaped plates.
13. Black & White
A plaid black design can look just as romantic with the right décor! In tone with your table cloth, use plaid napkins and layer your plates in black and white.
Finish off your plating with a red plate and top it with a gorgeous mini bouquet made in a soup bowl.
To make a sweet statement, you can add a dessert stand to the table. The focal point of your setting can be a stunning heart wreath with a plaid ribbon to compliment your table.
14. Candlelit
Light a spark with an elegant candlelit table for Valentine’s Day! Spread a chiffon runner for an airy, soft feel, and place a lovely centerpiece with various pink and white roses.
A mix of candlesticks of different sizes is always a great idea when decorating the table, so elevate your table with a few shimmering pink candles to match your décor.
Dining in vintage floral china will make your romantic table setting memorable!
15. Rustic Love
Rustic, weathered, and modern, all mixed in one and love! What better way to style such a combination than to use big jars for vases?
Make a centerpiece with one big jar with classic red roses and two smaller ones with pink tulips. In between, arrange small cake stands and place on top of the candy-filled mason jars. Let each place setting echo love with heart plating and Valentine’s heart chair back.
16. Love Bold
Pleasantly surprise your loved ones, creating an unforgettable impression with a bold “Be mine” table setting. Decorate a zebra patterned runner with lovely pink roses and tall white wooden candle sticks and contrast them with red candles.
Make each place setting a layering of red placemats, white plates, red napkins, and a unique “Be mine” sign. Don’t limit your décor to just the table, and add some love hearts and flowers to the sideboard buffet.
