Be Mine, Tabletop Designs

Happy Valentine’s Day!

We’ve styled two tablescapes and will let you in on all the secret details! Everything is DIY, beautiful and cost effective!

“XO My Heart”

This tablescape was designed to inspire Valentine’s Day flare! Not everything has to be red, so mix in your favorite color to give your table the pop you’re looking for.  To achieve this look, use items you have around the house – chargers, china, flatware and glassware! Then add some key touches with items from… are you ready? The dollar section at Target! We incorporated red toasting flutes, je t’aime vases, glittery signage and heart pillows all for under $15.00.

“Love My Look”

Our next tablescape was created for those who want more of a romantic feel. Soft blush and subtle Valentines Day decor was incorporated throughout each setting. For this design, we used our own chargers, china, glassware and flatware but incorporated milk glass and blush candle holders from Michaels. All Valentines decor was purchased for under $45.00. Be creative; see what colors you have at home that could mix well with items in a local craft store. Create a palette and use your imagination when it comes to designing your perfect tabletop!
