Since I’m not planning on going out for a Valentines Day dinner, I have to get a little creative this year! You guys might remember my amazingly talented friend Shawna Yamamoto from our DIY Tablescape post…this week I enlisted her to help us create a romantic Valentines Day surprise for the hubs! Sometimes I think less is more, and a simple romantic night of staying in is exactly what we need after nights of staying up with Chloe.
This little arrangement is designed to awaken the senses for the most romantic Valentine’s night as you’ve never experienced before! It’s perfect for cuddling after dinner for a cozy night in, and I’m super excited to try it. Find out what elements are needed to awake you and your loved one’s sense ..
1. Taste
For a light dessert after dinner, we incorporated elements of fruit and chocolate. Aside from the prettiness of colors, this is perfect for feeding each other and really being intimate! Instead of putting flowers into the terrariums, they also make great containers for fruit. Be careful about these fruit choices though because they can be a bit pricey since they’re not in season!
2. Sight
It’s all about mood lighting for this set up. Including long taper candles can make the space feel more sophisticated and romantic. When you’re putting this together, try to use colors that will evoke feelings of warmth! We chose golden toned decor & adding the candles help make the space feel more cozy and intimate.
3. Touch
Instead of sitting at a table this Valentines Day, cozy up with each other on the floor! I love these different patterned pillows to really elevate the space as well as make it super comfortable.
4. Smell
There’s something about having fresh flowers that can really liven up the space. We used flowers for its deep maroon hues, and the green to complement the red. Don’t forget to apply a spritz of your favorite perfume also!
5. Sound
For me, I think I’ll have to opt out of playing any music in case we wake Chloe up.. But having a little record player or speakers playing soft music is sure to complete the space for a romantic atmosphere.
A big thank you to Shawna Yamamoto for inspiring and helping me put this Valentine’s Day idea together!! Hope you guys enjoyed it! And there you have it, the recipe for the perfect romantic night in. Will you guys be trying this for Valentines Day?

HOW BEAUTIFUL!! THE COLORS, THE PILLOWS, THAT TABLE……..BUT THEN WHEN I TOOK A CLOSER LOOK AT IT, IT RAISED A BUNCH OF LOGISTICAL QUESTIONS. HOW IN THE WORLD DOES ONE SIT AT A SETTING LIKE THIS, COMFORTABLY, AND NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT REARRANGING THEIR LEGS/GETTING UP/COZYING UP TO THEIR SIGNIFICANT/ETC AND NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT TIPPING EVERYTHING ALL OVER THE PLACE???!! REALLY…..THE “TABLES” LOOK LIKE THEY’RE SIMPLY SQUARES OF WOOD PROPPED UP ON MAGAZINES STACKS! ALL I CAN THINK OF IS “DANGER, WILL ROGERS!!” BUT NOW YOU DID GET ME THINKING AS TO HOW I COULD ACTUALLY MAKE A TABLE SUCH AS THIS (A PIVOTAL ONE WHEN NEEDED) BUT YET THAT WOULD BE STATIONARY/STABILIZED WHILE USING IT. LOVELY IDEA YOU ALL HAVE TO LOOK AT, JUST NOT IN MY EYES VERY PRACTICAL. SORTA LIKE STILETTOS!
What a lucky guy!! My definition of less is more consisted of takeout sushi and Netflix. This version may have topped it. Maybe.
beautiful setting! would work well with the brand image 🙂
Very good idea for a night in with the loved one! So cozy, Dainty and Chic!

The arrangement is just so beautiful, each element playing off another, like the candle light reflecting off the glass terrariums.
Looks stunning! Love the fresh fruit and chocolate. 🙂

This is such a great idea, especially for new parents who could use a quiet, romantic night (but can’t necessarily get out to do it)!
Oh, such a pretty setting and so cozy in the comfort of your own home.
