Romantic Table for Two

Valentine’s day is coming and I decided to host this blog hop around a romantic table for two.  I believe that staying home for Valentine’s day is one of the most romantic things you can do, just the two of you, enjoying one another with no pesky servers or a bill at the end of the dinner!  It is crystal clear to me after almost 37 years of marriage that I am more in love with my husband today than ever.  I selected crystal as the theme for my table.

I thought I had my table all planned out, crystal, a little silver and then I would add red or white roses.  I looked at my table and thought that wasn’t going to do it, this table needed an explosion of color!  Off to pick up flowers in all of the colors I could find!

I just picked up several mixed bouquets at the grocery store and arranged them in a variety of my crystal vases and bud vases.  Romantic Dinner For Two Tablescape

My place settings are mirrored chargers that have a lovely ring of rhinestones in them even though you can’t see those.  I topped those with Miss America pattern dinner plates, my often used silver salad plates and topped those with the same depression glass dessert plates.  Romantic Dinner For Two Tablescape

I used a variety of stemware, silver goblets from Home Goods, Waterford Champagne flutes and Bohemian crystal water glasses.  A crystal candy dish sits by filled with what else?  Kisses!  But the magic really happens when the sun sets and the candles are lit!  Romantic Dinner For Two Tablescape

I don’t think we’ve ever dined just by glow of the candles either. Thanks for organizing the blog hop this week and inviting this dishaholic along for the fun. ♥
