Tablescape 101: A Valentine’s Dinner for Two

by manvi on February 1, 2012

Hello February! Some of you know how much I look forward to sharing my latest tablescapes with you. Which is why I could not wait to show you my latest look for Bright Bazaar, a Valentines Dinner for TWO. Not one for crowded and over-priced fixed meals at restaurants on V-day, I created a budget-friendly, intimate and easy-to-pull together tablescape look for a cozy dinner at home. We kept things fresh, and modern and opted to skip the over-used pinks and hearts.

We decided on a sophisticated black, white and gold palette highlighted with amethyst accents. A cursive fabric becomes an easy table runner, chevron drawer liners double up as place mats and ampersands played up the menu cards and invite.


I have to say I absolutely LOVE how the look came together. Huge thank you to Claudia and Karen, your designs ROCK! And Thank you Will for making this column look spectacular! Friends, do hop on over to Bright Bazaar and check it out.
