Valentine’s Table on the Porch

Valentine’s Table

I am dreaming about a quiet dinner for two for Valentine’s Day, oh, who is kidding, I dream about any quiet dinner for two these days!  Actually I think my little granddaughters would appreciate a Valentine’s table, I just will do it with a little more casual feel.

Here in Florida the weather is rarely so cold that we can’t dine on the front porch.  Our wrap around front porch is one of our favorite places to spend time.  I absolutely LOVE these plates.  I got them many, many years ago at the outlets in Reading, Pennsylvania.  

It didn’t seem like these rose decorated plates needed much embellishment to communicate the idea of Valentine’s day other than some additional roses.

I topped my dinner plates with pretty embossed heart shaped salad plates and tied a red satin ribbon around my pink napkins.

The grocery store roses in pink, red and lavender were really all of the decoration my table needed, AND had room for.  Gold colored flatware from West Elm seemed like the perfect metallic to add to my table styling.

I went a little fun with these glitter heart wine glasses, a Home Goods discovery!

I love all of the textures accented with my white pierced candle trays from Ikea that I used as chargers.

Do you set a special table for Valentine’s Day?  What about just for a special dinner for two?

  1. Chloe, What a wonderful spot to dine enjoy a romantic dinner with your sweetheart! Your floral plates topped with the pretty embossed hearts, glitter heart glasses, and bouquet of beautiful roses make for a perfect Valentine’s Day celebration!

  2. Porch dining in February…sigh! The floral plates are beautiful and speak of a sweet Valentine’s celebration! The heart-shaped plates and bouquet of roses add more beauty! Thank you for organizing another fabulous blog hop and Happy Valentine’s!

  3. You’re right, Chloe, those plates need very little embellishment – they’re knockouts! But the heart plates you added for simple charm are perfect, and just a lush bow such as you’ve done on the napkin really works. This is a great mix of pink and red hues (not all of them work like this), and to say I’m just a little jealous over porch sitting in February is an understatement.
    Chloe, thank you organizing another successful round of themed tables. You’re a gem in the blogging world!

  16. Chloe, thanks for holding this Valentine Bog Hop. Lots of beautiful tablescapes and ideas. I just picked up two of those red heart shaped plates like you have. Just love them.

  17. Chloe, your floral plates are lovely. How special to sit on your porch and enjoy a romantic meal together. The roses are beautiful. Love the heart shaped plates as well as the heart goblets. True romance Chloe. Thanks so much for organizing this fun Romantic Tablescape blog hop.

  18. Such a fantastic setting for a romantic Valentine’s meal and definitely one that wouldn’t be happening in our neck of the woods which makes it all the more dreamy to me! Beautiful roses make the perfect centerpiece for Valentine’s and coordinate wonderfully with those gorgeous plates – love the rose one and the heart shaped one! The heart-swirls on the stemware fit right in and that golden flatware adds a touch of drama. Using those lace-look candle plates as chargers is the “icing on the cake” – so pretty!
    As always, Chloe you’ve done an outstanding job at putting together another fun blog hop for us to participate in and enjoy – thank you so very much for all your efforts! I’m sure it takes a lot of organization and planning which is much appreciated. Happy Valentine’s Day to you and your hubby!

  19. Sweet Chloe, this table is absolutely beautiful! Those floral plates are so pretty, and the red bows as napkin rings add such a lovely touch. I’m a little jealous that you have nice weather to be able to dine outside. Our weather in Oklahoma has been terribly cold! I have been traveling with my hubby this week for work, and we are stranded in Arkansas because there is an ice storm in Oklahoma. Hopefully, we will get to go home tomorrow! Thanks again, for allowing me to be a part of your blog hop. I am so grateful to be a part of your group. Take care, and enjoy the rest of your weekend!!!

  22. Valentine perfection! Your plates are stunning, and I just love the napkins tied in a big red bow. I am just a tad jealous that the weather is good enough to sit outside! Still freezing here in Canada 🙂 Thank you for hosting another fabulous tablescape blog hop! I always look forward to creating my own, but visiting all of the talented ladies is so much fun and inspirational!

  23. Chloe, this is gorgeous, as is the setting! I love the combination of the red, pink and mauve (the mauve is always my favorite) roses – so striking and you’re absolutely right, that’s all the table needed! Your dinnerware is also just perfect for the season without being over the top. Love this!
