Valentine's Day Decorating ideas | elegant & romantic Valentine's Day Decor | Decorate with me

Hey there welcome to my place for Valentine's Day Today I'm going to be adding some simple swee and romantic accents throughout my living room and entryway for the season and I’m so thrilled to be sharing it here with you I hope you enjoy decorating along with me I decided to star with my mantle I just want to keep this space understated this year If you've seen my recent Valentine's Day shopping video you know I found these great art prints at Hobby Lobby recently I think they're the perfect touch here for February and even for spring these would They should be truly beautiful or consistently so throughout the year if that's your style—I really want them to stand out on the mantel so I'm just adding a few fake roses and a small heart-shaped wreath and that's all I'm also adding my favorite slightly frayed satin ribbon to my lanterns around the fireplace Just tie a simple bow and I think that's a wonderful way to refresh your decor with each season It's so effortless and I truly love the feminine flair it adds especially for holidays like Valentine's Day I picked up all this ribbon in various colors from Amazon so I’ll make sure to include the link below Usually in videos like this when I show my lanterns I also get asked where did I get them These lanterns around the fireplace Unfortunately I found them at a local store a long time ago They were extremely unique and I don't have a strong reference for them anymore—I did once have a link to something Same here but unfortunately I think that item has already sold so I'm sorry I don't have a resource for it I always appreciate you all asking about and admiring these If I ever come across something similar I’ll be sure to share it I'm putting together several faux floral arrangements for this space today and I'll essentially be using the same technique with each one When I'm making a large arrangeme like this I think it's easiest to start with a bundle of faux florals as your base I'm using my favorite off-white cabbage roses from Hobby Lobby and then I'm just filling with stems I found on Amazon If you're interested I actually have a video all about it faux floral arrangements on my channel along with even more great tips like this one so I’ll be sure to link that video below I've had these little pink mailboxes for a few years now—they were a Target Dollar Spot find and I just love incorporating them into my decor with a few faux florals and some sweet touches greeting cards tucked inside I think adding greeting cards into your vignettes is such a great inexpensive way to decorate and it feels especially meaningful for Valentine's Day since Cards themselves play a significant role in the sentiment of this holiday so I truly enjoy using them You know I always love having a theme for each season and holiday—it helps spark ideas gives me a sense of direction when I start decorating and also makes the process more enjoyable much more fun I’m especially drawn to using my grandfather’s vintage book collection each and every season I just love having his books out and woven throughout the house and I thought displaying them here on the entry table right as you walk in alongside some beautiful roses and a few framed family photos of loved ones which I still need to print by the way would create such a warm and personal welcome I'm calling this year's theme a love story because to me Valentine's Day is not just about romance it's about celebrating the people and moments that truly shape our lives and mean so much to us—showing love of course to ot only our sweethearts but also our family our friends and even our pets whom we care for so deeply
