A Sweet Valentine’s Tabletop

February 3, 2014 · 7 Comments

valentines

There is something so romantic about February. The weather calls for cozy nights, the year still fresh, and perfectly timed for us to open our hearts and share love. Of course some of it is in part to do with Valentine’s Day. Whether you’re single or happily taken, it’s not just about romanticism, it’s a special day to show those you love how much you appreciate them, a time to spread the love to the people, places and activities you love. Valentine’s Day is a time to indulge in sweet things, so I decided to create a lovely romantic afternoon, full of sweet treats, soft pink tulle and lovely florals that you can savor with your loved one or just your girlfriends. 

Throughout the week I’ll be sharing recipes and crafts featured for this shoot, from these personal heart curd pies, an aphrodisiac flavor infused baked Alaska, a sweet champagne cocktail, some adorable Valentine cards and shimmering Cupid’s arrow place cards. Whether you enjoy a special night out, or pursue your passion in painting, enjoy the romantic season and surround yourself with the things you love.IMG_3337IMG_3254IMG_3288

The wall display was made by spraying a branch with white paint, tying ribbons in different lengths and attaching pink and red paper cut out hearts with double sided tape. I had a lot of dried rose buds that were just in a pile, so I glued them around a foam wreath. Then used this paint in ballet slipper and hot pink to create an ombre effect. I finished it by bunching a small piece of leftover pink tulle in the center of the wreath. For the chair backs I simply attached two red paper hearts, behind each other, with double sided tape onto a thin pink ribbon. IMG_3335IMG_3264IMG_3287IMG_3338IMG_3257IMG_3253

    […] A Sweet Valentine’s day calls for a romantic drink of sparkling champagne. The blushing rose hue was just the right touch atop sheer pink tulle on my tabletop. Champagne is an aphrodisiac on its own, but by adding a splash of pomegranate seeds and juice, adds just the right sweet touch to this Blushing Champagne cocktail perfect for a toast to love.  […]

This Soba Tom Yum Noodle dish, inspired by @chriss This Soba Tom Yum Noodle dish, inspired by @chrissyteigen recipe wouldn’t be considered traditional but it does celebrate the beautiful Thai flavors I love. I’ll take all the spice & lemongrass please🍜😋!! It’s certainly become a staple of mine, one I’ve recreated several times & I highly recommend you save in your back pocket because it will leave you craving more...& more!! 

I used to post lots of recipes on the blog ‘til weddings/events/design took center stage & hoping to do so more again. Get this recipe on the blog now!
I read something yesterday, that made me instantly I read something yesterday, that made me instantly stop & reflect..."Some people think that having Hope makes you naive, but in my mind, it's so much harder to choose Hope over being angry or frustrated..." As someone who considers herself quite a hopeful person, I've had this on my mind since. Let's not confuse Hope w. toxic positivity {in which negative feelings or hardships are pushed aside}, when there is Hope, we still acknowledge our worries, the drawbacks of life, the sadness but still know that there is good.

We've all been doing our best nearing a year into this pandemic; the lives lost, families broken, the uncertain long-term issues, jobs, livelihoods disrupted & most recently too many people to count, struggling after a natural disaster. My heart breaks & is w. all of you, but despite the darkness, what I've also seen during these trying times...is Hope & Love. Communities & strangers coming together to help one another however way they can, even when they too are struggling to get by. That right there, is Hope. Be gentle with yourself, be gentle w. those around you. We’re all doing the best we can🤍
