Love! Let's Set the Table.
Valentine's Day tablescape ideas so you can celebrate romantic love, friend love, self love, and most importantly dessert love in style.
I’ve loved Valentine’s Day since I was a kid. Every year my mom would leave out a little treat, figurine, or card for my siblings and me at our breakfast table in the morning. My obsession quickly grew at Hallmark where I could (and still would) spend hours admiring the festive cards.
Though I’m not one to style my own home with much red or pink on a normal basis, I think they’re some of the most fun colors to play with in interiors. Unfortunately as with most holidays, around this time of the year, most big box stores are filled to the brim with cheesy decor.
Most of that stuff is low quality, wasteful, and will likely not fit your taste or existing home’s aesthetic in any way. Instead, this year I’m here to help you elevate your Valentine’s Day plans with curated decor selections that you’ll cherish for years.
The items shared below are made from sustainable materials, crafted by small businesses and artisans, and/or sourced from vintage shops. Please consider showing Mother Earth some love this season by shopping with intention.
