Even though some of these Valentine’s Day table setting ideas look fancy, you can still use them as inspiration for your own table, using whatever you happen to have available.  I always love setting the table with things I already have on hand because it encourages me to get creative and think outside the box.

Fresh or faux flowers, or even branches and greenery from the back yard, can make a lovely centerpiece.  A mix of candles and candlesticks in all shapes and sizes are always a great idea when decorating the table. 

And don’t forget about the beauty and simplicity of fresh fruit, as well!  Placed on a pedestal, in a bowl, or sprinkled throughout your centerpiece or at each place setting, colorful fruit adds a beautiful touch to your table decor.  I think orange fruits look especially beautiful when paired with pink and blush tones.

And, if you happen to have some fancy china, stemware, or silverware tucked away, this is the perfect time to dust it off and enjoy it. 

If not, flea markets are a great source for pretty plates and tea cups.  I love the look of mismatched china in a tablescape — especially for Valentine’s Day!
