As a certified lover of all things romantic, Valentine's Day holds a special place in my heart. However, you won't find me squeezing into a crowded restaurant with other couples. Instead, I see this season as the perfect opportunity to celebrate love in its many forms from the comfort of home. Whether you're planning an intimate dinner for two or hosting a lively gathering of friends for Galentine's, creating a chic tablescape can make the occasion feel truly extraordinary. From decorative glassware to elegant candles, here are seven table accessories that have caught my eye for adding a touch of glamour to your celebrations.
M&S Set of 2 Heart Coupe Glasses
When it comes to enjoying bubbles, I prefer coupes over flutes for their decadent feel. These heart-shaped glasses feature stunning pink coloured glass with contrasting red spot detailing, adding a glamorous flair that's perfect for toasting to love. Priced at £15, they're a delightful addition to any Valentine's table.
Papier Soho Supper Menus (x10)
To elevate your tablescaping game for a Galentine's get-together, consider custom menus for each place setting. Papier offers a range of lovely designs, with this pretty pink and red option feeling particularly apt for the season. It's a simple yet effective way to personalise your event.
Anthropologie The Icon Juice Glass: Love Edition
Swap ordinary tumblers for this super chic Valentine's-themed glass from Anthropologie's Icon collection. Crafted from hand-pressed glass beads and handblown glass, it features winged hearts and pouted lips in a charming pink and red scheme. At £14, it's a stylish choice for serving drinks.
H&M 2-Pack Patterned Candles
Hand-painted taper candles can be pricey, but these affordable alternatives offer a similar aesthetic with a simple heart pattern. Priced at £7.99 for a pair, they provide an undeniably gorgeous touch to your table without breaking the bank.
Next Set of 2 Pink Beaded Heart Placemats
Made from beautifully woven glass beads, these heart-shaped placemats boast a bold and slightly kitschy vibe that I adore. Available for £25, they come with matching coasters, making them a cohesive and eye-catching addition to your setup.
Oliver Bonas Cream Twist Loop Ceramic Candelabra
Oozing elegance with its twisted rope-like design, this vintage-inspired candelabra is the ultimate centrepiece for a romantic meal. Designed to hold three candlesticks, it's a versatile piece you'll reach for at future dinner parties. Priced at £39.50, it's an investment in timeless style.
Anthropologie Madeline Cocktail Napkins, Set of 4
If you're opting for drinks and nibbles over a sit-down dinner, these yarn-dyed cotton cocktail napkins add instant glamour. With a stylish scalloped border, they protect surfaces from ring marks while enhancing your soirée. At £22 for a set of four, they're both practical and pretty.
No matter how you choose to spend February 14th, filling your home with love and these gorgeous decorative items can create lasting memories. These accessories are designed to be used year after year, making them a worthwhile addition to your celebration toolkit. Embrace the season by crafting a tablescape that reflects your personal style and the joy of togetherness.
