I LOVED putting together this Valentine's Day inspired tablescape and I'm excited to share it with you all today!

When deciding how I would style my Valentine's tablescape, I knew that I wanted to create a tablescape that was perfect for a family dinner, a romantic dinner for 2, or for a Galentine's gathering.   I also knew that I wanted soft sweet colors so I decided on white, grey, and soft pink and I also knew that I wanted to create a more shabby chic tablescape.

When planning out the details of my tablescapes, my first decision is always whether or not to cover our table.  I love the natural wood of our kitchen table but I also love beautiful tablecloths.  Tablecloths create a polished put-together look!

This soft floral tablecloth was the perfect starting point for my Valentine's Day tablescape.  I then picked the white & grey check cloth dinner napkins.  Mixing prints adds a lot of visual interest.  You could also use solid colored napkins if you'd prefer but I love pairing florals with checks, dots, and stripes!

I decided on these gorgeous carved white chargers and these antique scroll white dinner plates to help create a shabby chic look.  These rose fern napkin rings also were the perfect compliment to the theme of my tablescape.

On to the centerpiece...

My initial plan for the centerpiece was totally different but I stumbled across a wall of floral tiles at Michael's and my plans quickly changed.  I love the way the floral tile looked and it was large enough to make a statement yet small enough to not overtake the table.

The tile was covered with only pink flowers on it so I bought some additional light green faux floral sprigs and eucalyptus at Michael's as well.  I strategically weaved the greenery into the floral tile and I finished the centerpiece by adding some baby's breathe, a few glitter hearts, and some tea lights.  To tie in the Valentine's Day theme, I tied pink glitter hearts to the napkin rings as well.

Add a couple of additional votive candles and voila, you have a beautiful Valentine's Day tablescape!

I would love to hear your thoughts as well as if you are enjoying these types of posts!  I sure do enjoy putting them together for you.

What do you have planned for Valentine's Day?!

As always, thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you have a great day!

Today is Galentine's Day...a day intended to share the love with all of our gal pals out there!  I've got to say, I love that there is another reason and another day to celebrate LOVE and friendship.  After all, our gal pals deserve to be celebrated too!

I recently celebrated with a group of girlfriends...of course we stuffed our faces, laughed until our tummies hurt, and chatted about some of our best memories together.  There's just something about girl time and girl talk that feeds the soul.  And let's be honest...getting together with girlfriends is a MUST and our calendars should be filled with as much girl time as we can possibly fit in!

I've got girlfriends near and far and although I don't get to see some of my closest girlfriends as often as I would like, we always pick right back up where we left off.  One of my best girlfriends, Jenn of Carolina Girl Cooks, and I only get to see each other a couple of times a year but when we do get together it turns into the most amazing chapter of our friendship storybook.  The chapters just keep getting better and better!

So when Fossil asked me to partner for Galentine's Day and share the love with one of my bestie's, I immediately said YES!  After all, who wouldn't want a little fun bestie surprise (this adorable tassel pouch) on Galentine's Day?! So to one of my dearest bestie's...

Jenn...thank you for so many wonderful years of friendship.  For making me laugh until I cry.  For lending an ear and a shoulder when needed.  For always uplifting me and providing encouragement.  For tearing up the dance floor with me.  For never turning down a great meal together.  For dropping your plans and driving hours to just go see Beyonce with me.  For all of our great talks.  And for so much more...you are my Sister from another Mister and I'm so thankful for your friendship.

For all of these reasons...you get the other half of my Best Friend necklace. ;-)  Enjoy this personalized Fossil tassel pouch my friend and cheers to many more wonderful memories to come!  Happy Galentine's Day!

May you all celebrate those amazing gal pals in your life today and be sure to tell them why they mean so much to you!  To ALL of my gal pals...you girls RULE and I'm so lucky to call you my friend!

As always, thanks so much for stopping by...now go out and spread the LOVE!  xoxo

*Special thank you to Fossil for partnering on today's post and helping me spread the love to my bestie on Galentine's Day!
