I love upcycle ideas. A ladder hangs above the long dining table. Cut out of XOs and lots of photographs interspersed. This would be perfect for lofts and more spacious rooms.

Pick red or purple as theme and mix it with neutrals like white. Al fresco dinner with purple stemware, bunting and napkins. Lovely bouquet of purple flowers compliments perfectly!

Oh the simplicity of this arrangement! Dollar store egg cups holding button roses arranged in shape of a heart. Alternative, use egg shells with strips of paper roll as base. Ta da!

Having a valentines day party for friends, this may be the most charming table decoration ever! Perfect for smaller space. Tall vases of flowers, mix of votive and flowers. Elegance..

Go over the top but keep it classy! Stunning table centerpiece in shades of pink. With such a delicate focal piece, the simple tableware compliments perfectly!

Love the use of carnations instead of roses. Its a sweet easy diy mobile. I can imagine using embroidery hoops for a quick version. Use fake flowers to preserve year round. So unique!
