20 Valentines Tablescape Ideas With Hearts, Flowers and Pretty Place Settings

Looking for a valentines tablescape with a little something extra? Think pink heart napkins, red roses and tiny bows around your place settings.

These ideas include full dinner tables plus smaller displays and serving details you can borrow for your own celebration.

You can keep things simple or go all out with hearts. Start with your favorite red or pink detail, then build around it.

There’s even a breakfast spread if pancakes sound more like your kind of Valentine’s date!

Valentine’s Table Ideas Worth Saving

burgundy blooms and white tapers

We’re starting off strong with these gorgeous burgundy flowers and tall white candles. I love the orange-red blooms mixed into the darker shades.

The little clear vases let each stem have its own space.

Try lining up a mix of small vases down your table instead of using one large bouquet.

pink heart napkin

How cute is this heart-shaped napkin? The pale pink looks so pretty against the simple white plate.

A sparkling red runner gives the setting a little extra decoration without crowding the plate.

floral plates and little hearts

If you love floral dishes, this table may just be your favorite. There are tiny flowers around the plates, red and pink roses in little jars and tall red candles above them.

Place a small red heart in the middle of each plate to follow this sweet setting. I’d keep the matching floral teacups too.

pink drinks and heart-shaped treats

Who says your Valentine’s table has to be for dinner? This breakfast spread has stacks of pancakes, heart-shaped treats and pink drinks with striped straws.

I especially love the little bowl of raspberries at the front. Try grouping your own breakfast favorites on white and pale pink dishes for a similar look.

red hearts on a tan runner

Don’t want to cover your whole table? No problem!

This tan runner has scattered red hearts and looping black lettering, with plenty of the pale tabletop still showing.

For your own setting, plain white plates would let those little red hearts stand out.

roses in a floral teapot

I am obsessed with this teapot arrangement. The red, pink and white roses look so pretty above the floral design. Even the little teacup has red and white heart decorations tucked inside!

Gather your display on a tray like this one if you want to keep all those small pieces together.

a little heart-covered tree

This little tree gets a Valentine’s twist with pink, white and red hearts hanging from its branches. The tiny house with the pink roof is just adorable.

If you want to mix winter decorations into your February table, this is a cute starting point. Keep the display on a round tray over a red checked table covering.

red roses and trailing bows

If you are looking for flowers with a little drama, then this one is for you. A tall rose rises above the lower blooms, with a white bow and blank tag tied around its stem.

I love the oversized bow at the base. You could add a short handwritten message to your own tag.

red and pink candy spread

The candy fans are going to love this! Red buckets, white bowls and clear trays hold a whole mix of red and pink treats.

The pink-coated pretzels are such a cute detail.

Try a separate sweets table if you’d rather leave your dining table open for plates and flowers.

a trail of oversized hearts

Don’t want a traditional table runner? This overlapping row of pink, red and white hearts is a fun alternative.

I love how it stretches right to the edge of the table.

The small sparkling cone decorations sit in the middle. You could leave those off if you prefer just the hearts.

a little envelope at each seat

How sweet is this place setting? The white napkin is folded like an envelope, with a pink note peeking out and a red seal-shaped detail at the front.

This is one of my favorite ideas for a personal touch. Write a little note for each guest, then tuck it into your own folded napkin.

pink tubes and clear goblets

This image shows a work in progress rather than a finished table decoration. Clear goblets sit between bright pink tubes while yellow ties are fastened around them.

The final arrangement isn’t shown, so I wouldn’t treat this as a complete tutorial.

For a finished table, you could borrow the pink-and-clear pairing with pink napkins beside clear goblets instead.

red checks for two

If you’re setting a table for two, this little window-side setup is so pretty. Red-and-white checks cover the table, with roses in a white pitcher and small glowing candles between the plates.

The striped cushions are a lovely extra touch. You don’t need a large dining table to try this combination.

a red bow around the cutlery

I love the red bow tying this spoon, knife and fork together. The napkin underneath has snowflakes and a snowman, so this particular setting leans toward Christmas rather than Valentine’s Day.

Borrow the bow detail for your February table with a plain pink or white napkin instead.

pink flowers and conversation hearts

This pink flower display may just be one of my favorites here. I love the tall tulips beside the shorter rounded blooms.

That white vase with the bow detail is so cute.

A little bowl of heart decorations and a glowing candle finish the tray. Try the same pale pink palette if you don’t want lots of red.

a heart-shaped sharing platter

How adorable is this heart-shaped platter? The salami roses and little cheese hearts make it feel dressed up before you add any other table decorations.

There are berries, grapes and nuts tucked between the larger pieces. A platter like this could be your starting point for a Valentine’s snack table.

white floral layers over blush

Don’t want bright red or lots of heart decorations? No problem there!

This table pairs a white floral overlay with a pale blush layer underneath.

I love the scalloped edge and the gold-colored rims on the plates. Keep your own dishes simple if you want the floral pattern to be the main detail.

pink checks and candy-box bows

There is so much to love in this place setting. The pink checked plate sits over red-and-white stripes, with a little candy box tied in a pink bow on top.

The pink placemat has its own red bow design too! Pick this one if you like mixing patterns rather than sticking to plain dishes.

lighted branches and tiny houses

This is another way to bring a little winter decor into your Valentine’s display. Heart ornaments hang from lighted bare branches above pink and white flowers.

I especially love the red houses and folded pink trees on the tray. You could choose just the vase and houses for a smaller version.

burgundy bows and candlelight

Last but definitely not least, we have this gorgeous candlelit table. I am in love with the burgundy bows around the candleholders and plates.

The pale pink table covering looks so pretty underneath.

Try mixing blush and burgundy tapers for the same look. Keep any trailing ribbons well away from the flames.
