Guess what special day is creeping up on us? The lovely but sometimes not so exciting Valentine’s day. Make your romantic dinner or all friends party a fabulous event!
A plus for me and maybe for you, as well, is all the red you brought out for the holidays can be used at this time too. I have the most darling red votive holders and shiny red charger plates, which I can definitely incorporate into my February Valentine style.
I’m also loving these arrangements and decor ideas from Martha Stewart’s website.
Candy bag favors (or use them as place settings)

Hot-hot long table centerpieces. Add more votives for a more romantic feel.

Tea bag tags for after-dinner treats or use as favors by placing tea bags in pink or red gift-card size envelopes

Flower vases filled with conversation hearts. Use red-hots (candy) for a deeper red color and enjoy eating them after the party!

No wires or tricky put-together hardware for this charming bunch of roses. Just cut stems short and place into tiny vases/containers and shape into a heart. Voila!

I love RED! If I had beautiful red chargers, I can use them for the holidays, Valentine’s day, AND Chinese New Year!!
