As a certified lover girl, there’s nothing I love more than Valentine’s Day. However, you’ll never catch me dining elbow-to-elbow with another couple in an overbooked restaurant – instead, I’m all about seeing the season as an excuse to celebrate love in all its forms, from the cosiness and comfort of home.

Whether you’re planning on enjoying a romantic meal with the one you love, or you’re hosting a gaggle of your favourite girls for Galentine’s dinner and drinks, why not make the whole thing feel a little more special by putting together a seriously chic Valentine’s Day tablescape?

From cute coupes and drinking glasses, to beautifully decorated dinner candles, here’s everything I’ve got my eye on at the moment.

Heart shaped glasses

M&S Set of 2 Heart Coupe Glasses

When it comes to bubbles, I’m a big fan of drinking out of coupes instead of flutes – they just feel so much more decadent. These heart-shaped ones are made with gorgeous pink coloured glass, and have been finished with contrasting red spot detailing for an added bit of glamour. I’m obsessed!

Paper menu

Papier Soho Supper Menus (x10)

If you really want to up your tablescaping game for your Galentine’s Day get-together, why not get some cute custom menus printed to put on each place setting? There are loads of lovely designs on Papier, but this pretty pink and red one feels spot-on for the season of love.

Glass with red heart detail

Anthropologie The Icon Juice Glass: Love Edition

White printed candles

H&M 2-Pack Patterned Candles

Hand-painted taper candles look undeniably gorgeous when displayed on a Valentine’s Day table – but they generally come with a pretty hefty price-tag. So, go for this affordable pair instead, which have just been printed with a simple heart pattern.

Buy Now for £7.99
Heart shaped placemats

Next Set of 2 Pink Beaded Heart Placemats

Made from glass beads that have been beautifully woven together, these heart-shaped placemats are currently sitting seriously high up on my wishlist. I love their bold and somewhat kitschy vibe – and you can even buy matching coasters, too.

Buy Now for £25
White twisted candelabra

Oliver Bonas Cream Twist Loop Ceramic Candelabra

Oozing serious elegance with its twisted rope-like design, this vintage-inspired candelabra will make the ultimate centrepiece for a romantic Valentine’s Day meal. Designed to support three candlesticks, it’s the kind of piece you’ll find yourself reaching for whenever you host a dinner party.

Buy Now for £39.50
Red napkins with squiggly boarder

Anthropologie Madeline Cocktail Napkins, Set of 4

Ditching the sit-down dinner in favour of drinks and nibbles? Each complete with a stylish scalloped border, these yarn-dyed cotton cocktail napkins will add an instant touch of glamour to your evening soirée – while also helping keep your surfaces safe from any ring marks.

Buy Now for £22

So whatever you happen to do on February 14, make sure your home is filled with love, and these gorgeous decorative items you can use year after year.
