When we think of a Valentine’s Day date, a nice dinner out, flowers, and maybe some chocolates are usually the “go to”.  This couple decided a dinner at home was just as good, if not better, and we couldn’t agree more!  All these gorgeous peonies, anemones, and roses around make it easy to get swept away in the romance and excitement of it all.  We love how they brought in a professional to teach them how to cook bruschetta too, what a fun activity to do together…and one you’ll be able to do again!  All you need is a few framed signs, polka dot linens, and striped tableware and you’ve made yourself the perfect Valentine’s dinner at home.  But don’t forget something sweet like those adorable heart cookies or XO cake to top off the night!

So set up a cute table, pour some champagne, and get to cooking!  We’re sure you’ll bring the heat in the kitchen this Valentine’s Day!

Be Prepared to Be Inspired…

3Both “All of life should be sweet” and “Enjoy the little things” would be great for a dessert table at a wedding!

4Found a similar recipe for these jam-filled shortbread cookies on our Pinterest!

13YUM! Might need to make this red cabbage, blackberry and avocado salad for lunch one day!
