Flirty and fun is what a Valentine table in pink red and white should be. Don’t you agree? I am beyond thrilled to be part of a delightful tablescape hop hosted by the fabulous Rita at Panopoly. I can’t wait for you to check out all the amazing ideas from the talented bloggers participating in this hop – trust me, you’re in for a treat!

For this special occasion, I decided to create a Valentine table that screams flirty and fun. The color palette? Classic pink, red, and white! So, grab a cup of your favorite beverage and let me take you through the process of transforming my dining space into a Valentine’s Day haven.

Shopping My House

One of my favorite things to do is shop my own house for decor items, and this tablescape was no exception. I gathered a collection of pink, red, and white square paper plates, delicate white lacy placemats, ribbons, large pink ric rac, bright pink pom-pom trim, and more. I even added my unique touch with melted crayon hearts – you can find the tutorial here.

Creating the flirty and fun Valentine table Runner

I love coming up with new innovative ways to decorate a Valentine table. To kick things off, I laid long strips of ribbon, pom-pom trim, and ric rac down the middle of the table, creating a vibrant and eye-catching runner. Alternating the colors and textures added a playful element to the setup. You might remember this red and white polka dot Valentine tablescape that I did a few years ago for a ladies luncheon.

Charming Place Settings

The white lacy placemats were next in line, introducing a touch of femininity and romance. I arranged pink and red square paper plates at an angle, topping them with smaller white plates for that extra dash of pizzazz.

Clear glasses adorned with charming fleur-de-lis or bumblebee motifs. These were my cute moms and bring back memories of sitting at her table.

For the napkins, I used floral ones my sister found at a yard sale and tied them with leftover pom-pom trim, creating a cute and functional napkin ring.

And let’s not forget the adorable melted crayon hearts from last year, doubling as personalized place cards!

Dazzling Centerpiece

The centerpiece stole the show, featuring my white wooden 2-tier stand adorned with Valentine doo-dads. From a wooden envelope with a pink heart to a pink candle, white wooden beads, faux flowers, and other charming trinkets – it’s a whimsical display that adds character to the table.

Visit my shop to purchase my 2-tier wooden stand.

White Coffee Filter Flowers

To finish it off, I crafted white fluffy flowers out of coffee filters. They’re super easy to make in quick 5 steps.

Flirty and Fun: A Valentine Table in Pink, Red, and White

1- Stack 7 filters on top of each other.

2- Fold in half.

3- Twist the bottom so that it creates petals.

4- Tape the twisted end or staple.

5- Fluff out all the layers so that it looks like a flower. Boom you are done!

These delicate blooms run down the center, adding a touch of elegance and completing the flirty fun vibe.

    What a cute runner Karin! It’s so fun and looks great on your white table. Love the square plates too – the whole table is totally flirty! (I love that word!) You’ve inpired me to think outside the table runner box and do something unexpected – thanks! 🙂 So nice hopping with you! Have a wonderful Valentines!

    What a super idea for a table runner, Karin. It really caught my eye and set the tone for such a fun and festive table. Love the combination of plain pink and white plates combined with such a colorful napkin. It picks up all the colors in the table runner. the flowers are a nice, easy way to embellish the setting. Have a lovely Valentine’s Day.

    Karin, your table runner created with rick rack trim, Pom poms and ribbon are darling. The lacy white chargers are perfect for this fun and flirty Valentines table. How creative you are using your two tiered stand with doo dads. Shopping your own house is wise and saves money. Of course I love your chosen color palette. A pleasure hopping along with you.

The coffee filter flowers are adorable, thank you for the tutorial! I like the lacy placemats and so smart to use paper plates and put one on the diagonal. The thrifted flower napkins are perfect!

    Flirty and fun it is, Karin. I love how you ran the trims down the center as a runner. I made those flowers for my daughter’s wedding but that was 10 yrs ago, and I’d forgotten how. Thanks for including the quick tutorial. Love the napkins and your mom’s glasses. Your tower of doo dads will make a great conversation starter. Thanks for joining the Valentine fun!

Happy heavenly Mother’s Day to my mom! How we al Happy heavenly Mother’s Day to my mom! How we all loved her! I miss her funny sense of humor, her fierce love of others, her cooking and desires to always please everyone. Mom had strength beyond my comprehension she was always gardening… moving heavy pots, digging in hard soil and creating an oasis everywhere she lived. Her love of all things French was something to admired. Everyone who ever walked into her home could immediately feel loved and cared for. Mom worked tirelessly in her chocolate company right up until just a few months before she died. Her sacrifices for us were uncountable. I love my mom and all she was and did and especially her faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Here’s to all the moms past present and future and to all the sacrifices, teachings and loving us even when we drive them crazy. 

Loving and missing my mom! ❤️
