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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
To finish it off, I crafted white fluffy flowers out of coffee filters. They’re super easy to make in quick 5 steps.
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.
Before you go, make sure to check out the other talented bloggers participating in the tablescape hop. The creativity is off the charts, and you’re bound to find inspiration for your own celebrations. Don’t forget to check out my white 2-tier stand available in my shop if you fancy bringing some of this charm into your own home.
Here’s to love, laughter, and a Valentine’s Day filled with warmth and joy! Cheers!

Aww....I love it! This tablescape truly is flirty and fun! I love the ribbon table runner best. What a darling idea! Your textures and colors also pop against the white table. You've given me lots of ideas. :D Happy Valentine's Day!
I love the idea of a fun-filled flirty table for Valentine's Day! And of course your color palette is perfect. I enjoy collecting table linens and the ones you chose are very pretty. It's sensational to add a creative twist to table settings! Happy Valentine's Day!

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.
Karin, I also like to begin by shopping my home first, so I just love the crafty runner you created as well as your pretty coffee filter flowers--so creative! Blessings, Cecilia @ My Thrift Store Addiction
Karin, I am amazed at your creativity in using the things you had on hand in creating this tablescape! The table runner is fantastic and I love your centerpiece of knick knacks - its sure to generate questions and conversations. The coffee filter flowers are just gorgeous and I love the tutorial you provided - thanks! I was a pleasure hopping with you and thanks for all your creative ideas. I hope you enjoy your fun and flirty table and wishing you a very Happy Valentine's Day!
Kim,
I just love figuring out ways to use things I already have laying around in the house. Thank you for your kind comments about my Valentine tablescape! It means a lot!
Hugs,
Karin
Karin, the use of pom-pom, rick rack, and ribbon for the table runner is so cute. The tiered tray is a fun centerpiece. I like how you incorporated things that you had on hand. The coffee filter flowers are darling, thanks for including the tutorial. You did a great job on “flirty and fun”!! It is always fun hopping with you and Happy Valentine’s Day ❤️
Thank you Pam! I love the challenge of coming up with a tablescape using things I already have. It was fun to use sewing notions in this one.
Hugs,
Karin
Oh wow, such a pretty table! I wish I had space in my house to do such a pretty decorative setting. My cats, however, would make short work of that. Stopping in from Senior Salon Pit Stop and really enjoyed your contribution. Have a wonderful week!
Thank you so much! Cat's can get into things can't they. Especially the sewing notions! Thanks for stopping by.
Karin
