Valentine’s Day Centerpiece
A Dramatic Valentine’s Day Centerpiece
I’m a huge fan of the color pink! Since its February, why not add a soft pop of pink for a Valentine’s Day Centerpiece? Then, I love the look of a large basket centerpiece. This seems like a great way to bring a bit of drama into a space, especially to a dining table tucked in a corner. It adds height and scale.



Adding the Pink
Floral stems, from my stash, in variegated colors of pink were added to the basket.


Brown Paper Hearts
Wanting this basket of pink stems to look more like a Valentine’s Day centerpiece than spring, I created some brown craft paper hearts to hang from the stems. Small cut-out hearts were attached to string with a dab of hot glue. Adding small simple touches with what I had on hand.



The Color Blush
You know that delicious barely blushing pink color? That soft pale shade of pink that doesn’t shout ‘pink?’ It’s a dreamy color that reminds me of a pair of ballet slippers belonging to a ballet dancer. Blush – pink is one of those colors that is pretty much perfection for me. It goes perfectly with browns, brassy golds, silvers and copper- and also with all kinds of colors. Blush is like a neutral- and can be mixed and mingled in many settings, even with cowhide western chairs. It works for me! So, blush pink linen pillows were added to the end chairs. A perfect nod to a Valentine’s Day centerpiece that just completes the look.



This table is quite visible when you enter the great room, so I love that it is a soft touch approach to Valentine’s Day decor. The basket full of pink stems will also transition well into Spring which I most likely will start some decorating for by the end of February.


Let’s Add Some Dishes
With those blossoming pink stems in that large basket for a Valentine’s Day centerpiece, I didn’t really stop there. A pretty pink Fiesta ware teacup and saucer filled with dried pink spray roses and of course a mismatched stack of white thrift store dishes were added. This is now the completed Valentine’s Day centerpiece.
