1. COLORS

The color palette should be warm, shades of red. Other ideas: metallics, browns, whites, and creams. 

2. CANDLES

If there is one night of the year for romantic candlelight... it's February 14.

3. CANDIES

I always incorporate little snacks on the table. For Valentine's, chocolates and pink confections on low plates or taller jars make for whimsical additions to the decor. 

4. HEARTS 

In the form of candles, coasters...

5. LOVE

Nothing else matters without it.
