RE-ceiving guests: Valentine's Day Table 3

One last Valentine Table before the holiday.  This place setting rests on a red and pink heart place mat from Target which is still available on line.  The plate is Wedgewood Colisseum with a heart salad plate from Tuesday Morning.

CLOSE UP OF PLACE SETTING

Silver is Old Master by Towle. Red Linen tablecloths. Crystal bird figurines are used as "love birds."

CLOSE UP OF HEART SALAD PLATE FROM TUESDAY MORNING.

A LITTLE GIFT.  A little red box wrapped in a white ribbon is part of the place setting.  If you want, you can have a candy, a cupcake or a cookie inside.  If you are a romantic, think of something like a poem.  You don't have to be the poet; you can just hand copy the poem or just a stanza or a lyric from a song.  If you're playful, it can be a promise of what the night holds.  If you're sporty, it can be a date for an outdoor activity or a gift certificate for a golf lesson or aerobic class or a back massage.

GLASS WARE:  Waterford Millennium Balloon Goblet. This set has hearts as part of the design perfect for Valentine's Day.

RE-ceiving Guests: Another Valentine's Table

RED, WHITE & HEARTS.  Reba is super busy this week with work so I am going to provide the text for this St. Valentine's table she made which she has been wanting to post.  What is funny is that Reba and I didn't talk about our Valentine's Day tables, but we both went for traditional this year.   Above, Reba began with a white tablecloth and then placed red circular felt place mats as chargers for her white china.  The placemats are from Target.  Reba also used vintage red Italian cut crystal champagne goblets that belonged to our great Aunt and Waterford Millenium clear crystal water goblets that belong to our mother.  Reba borrowed the Waterford Millenium goblets because they have hearts in them.  Reba's sterling flatware is Towle Old Master.

CLOSE UP OF THE HEARTS.  Reba tried to capture the heart design in the Waterford water goblets in the above picture.  In person, you can see the design very easily, but the camera's flash makes it harder to capture in a photo.

RED HEART PLACEMAT.  Reba bought these red felt placemats from Target, but someone could easily make them as a craft.   Reba suggested using felt and cutting out the heart designs with scissors.  I wondered how these would come out from foam board with a heart hole punch.  I think it would be faster to make that way, although felt might be worth the extra effort because it is a more natural material. 

RED GIFT FOR A LOVED ONE.  The table is set for two.  Reba used red glittery gift boxes with red shear ribbon as the focal point of the place setting.    She also put out her crystal bird figurines to represent love birds. 

RED LONG STEM ROSES FOR PASSION.   Reba chose traditional red roses in a cut crystal vase for the table.  Red Roses mean "I love you" and represent a romantic, ardent love.  In case you didn't know, many people associate meanings to different flowers.   A centerpiece of daisies sends an entirely different message than one of red roses.  While no one has to stick to the rules,  if you are curious as to what your flower centerpiece or bouquet could mean,  a detailed list of flower meanings can be found HERE
