Red black and white Valentine tablescape

Hello everyone and welcome to my Red, Black and White Valentine tablescape.

I love the 3 basic colors of Valentines day don’t you? 

I created this tablescape using some really cute placemats that my sister made for me.
 
I love the black and white print because it is so versatile and can go with anything!
 
Kind of like a basic black dress. 

I think adding this red and white unique silverware to the red white and black Valentine tablescape makes it look better than my boring everyday stuff.

I am thinking I might need some more colorful silverware. Maybe green or pink! 

Do any of you have colorful sets?

I have used this red handled silverware here and here.

 
Doesn’t everything look better under a chandelier? Heheh

The steal of the century were these red bowls that I bought a few years back in Texas for only…

are you ready….

.50cents! Oh yeah…loving deals like that!

To make it look even fancier I added in these mini martini glasses with a perfect strawberry in them for fun. 

Don’t forget to link up to my Centerpiece Wednesday Linky party each week. 

Here are a few other Valentine crafts you might like

    Your sister did an excellent job on the placemats and I love how you incorporated those into your tablescape! Love the red, white and black theme. Your utensils are perfect for this table, just the right splash of color and print. Thank you for sharing!

    I'm a super-sized fan of the black, red & white combination!!! Your sister made you the perfect placemats for this tablescape that work so well with the salad plates! Doubling the napkin rings to brig both red & white to the mix was a great idea, too! Very, very pretty!!! Thanks for hosting Centerpiece Wednesday again!

    […] me these adorable black and white placemats a few years ago you might remember seeing them in this tablescape.  I know I may have gone overboard with all the plates but I just couldn’t help myself 🙂 […]
