A Simple & Sweet Valentine’s Day Table for Two

 Sometimes I can think ahead of the game and sometimes I don’t. This all started because of my husband’s birthday earlier in January. I wanted to bake him a cake, but with a shoulder surgery lifting things can often get in the way. So, I decided to bake him cupcakes. I went farther – I decided to put a bit of a Valentine’s spin on this. You know? Get the decorating this year for Valentine’s Day and a birthday done early! I feel kind of cheesy decorating for this day the older I get. However, I do love a great, simple and sweet tablescape that comes with all the cozy Valentine’s Day vibes that speaks to my romantic side and creativity – Here is a simple and sweet Valentine’s Day table for two done in January. Why not?

I decided to indulge my romantic side- A simple and sweet Valentine’s Day table for two.

I started gathering some of my red and white napkins and dishtowels from the Christmas pile, pretty milk glass compotes for pillar candles, tapers, lace, pretty dishes like vintage floral teacups, simple white plates to pull it all together and faux roses, (Yes, you read that right. Faux roses.) & dried baby’s-breath. My shoulder surgery dictated that I stay in – not traveling to the grocery store for real flowers so I grabbed things that I had on hand.

I added things that would speak to Valentine’s Day.

Simple & Sweet

A romantic table for two. For this table, I layered on the fresh red and white linens, white dishes, pretty teacups and for romance, candles. I thought of using linens or decor to create an inviting environment that allows you both to relax and take away from the stress of our day-to-day.

If it’s Valentine’s Day, do something as cozy as spending some time making a simple Valentine’s date treat or meal for that special someone. If you would rather not cook, ordering in your favorite meal is just as cozy…just don’t forget the desert.  

Sweet Treats

Cupcakes with pink buttercream frosting! Creamy buttercream frosting is decadent yet a simple topping. And the best part?  So easy to make! To spread or pipe??? This day was a spread. Cupcakes thickly layered with homemade pink butter cream frosting can’t be beat. Creating a simple (birthday) Valentine’s dinner or brunch at home can be memorable – a simple and sweet Valentine’s Day table for two.

Creating a simple Valentine’s date environment without leaving the house can feel really special and cherished.

Keeping It Cozy

Keep it cozy and warm, bring on the ambiance and charm with candles. Candles are a great part of any tablescape. Want to up the romance? Flowers and candles y’all. Thats all you need for an intimate, simple and sweet Valentine’s Day table for two.

Simple Ideas

Remember the theme of Valentine’s Day decoration ideas can be budget friendly. Simply shop your home for ribbons, dish towels, candles, and pretty floral dishes to decorate for your Valentine’s Day decor. You can also tie utensils with pretty ribbon, use faux florals, mix in some fresh, and add Valentine colored candy on the table to add texture to a plain tablecloth.
