Modern Valentine's Day Dinner Party

Whether you're styling a romantic dinner for your other half or having girls 'round, Valentine's Day gives us an excuse to go all out with the hearts and cute details when dressing a table.

The tablecloth was a DIY painted paper runner we created for the occasion - simply use black acrylic paint and a white paper tablecloth to paint random XO all over. It's a simple yet cost-effective way to help tie in all the decor details.

For this table we loved incorporating simple flower arrangements that even someone who thinks they're "creatively challenged" can pull off in style.

We picked a few red, pink, fuchsia and blush rose anemones and inexpensive carnations for bulking out our mini vases. Using carnations is a great trick used by party planners to create volume without breaking the bank!

To accompany our low-maintenance flower arrangements, we opted for grouping pink and red candles in our table centerpiece. Not only it provides extra warmth and light to the table, but it offers a really structural element that I love!

Keeping the candles at varying heights ensure that the display looks interesting and gives it that modern vibes we're looking for in this table.

To complete each place setting we made some DIY scratch card menus for the fun factor!
