As a certified lover girl, there’s nothing I love more than Valentine’s Day. However, you’ll never catch me dining elbow-to-elbow with another couple in an overbooked restaurant – instead, I’m all about seeing the season as an excuse to celebrate love in all its forms, from the cosiness and comfort of home.

Whether you’re planning on enjoying a romantic meal with the one you love, or you’re hosting a gaggle of your favourite girls for Galentine’s dinner and drinks, why not make the whole thing feel a little more special by putting together a seriously chic Valentine’s Day tablescape?

From cute coupes and drinking glasses, to beautifully decorated dinner candles, here’s everything I’ve got my eye on at the moment.

Heart shaped glasses

M&S Set of 2 Heart Coupe Glasses

When it comes to bubbles, I’m a big fan of drinking out of coupes instead of flutes – they just feel so much more decadent. These heart-shaped ones are made with gorgeous pink coloured glass, and have been finished with contrasting red spot detailing for an added bit of glamour. I’m obsessed!

White printed candles

H&M 2-Pack Patterned Candles

Hand-painted taper candles look undeniably gorgeous when displayed on a Valentine’s Day table – but they generally come with a pretty hefty price-tag. So, go for this affordable pair instead, which have just been printed with a simple heart pattern.

Heart shaped placemats

Next Set of 2 Pink Beaded Heart Placemats

Made from glass beads that have been beautifully woven together, these heart-shaped placemats are currently sitting seriously high up on my wishlist. I love their bold and somewhat kitschy vibe – and you can even buy matching coasters, too.
