Create A Romantic Dining
Room For Valentine's Day
With times being as tough
as they are, finding the money to make a special Valentine's Day for your
sweetheart can be difficult. Whether it
is your loving spouse of 20 years or the new special someone in your life, giving
them a Valentine's Day to remember without looking cheap can be made simple by
creating a romantic dining experience at home.
Here are a few ideas to create a romantic dining room for Valentine's
Day that will look like a million, but cost you virtually nothing!
Set The Scene!
Creating a romantic dining
room can be accomplished with just a few simple elements. Since it is Valentine's Day, flowers are a
must. In addition to a beautiful
arrangement for your sweetheart, a nice arrangement for the center of the table
can really show you have put thought into the night. A great way to cut costs is to go for
something a little less pricey for the centerpiece, such as some red
carnations. Candles are also a must for
Valentine's Day and are a great and inexpensive way to set a romantic mood. A few well-placed tapered and votive candles
are all you really need, and choosing ones that are red, pink, and white will
keep the table looking well put together.
Final touches should not be ignored.
A nice tablecloth, some cloth napkins, and maybe a few rose petals
scattered on the table can create that finished romantic look! Don't forget to use real cutlery and your
best plates and wine glasses, accompanied by some soft romantic music.
A Meal To Remember
Another important element
to creating a romantic dining room for Valentine's Day is having a delicious
meal. If you can't cook yourself,
getting takeout from a nice restaurant is always an option, but trying to
create a meal yourself will no doubt be appreciated, as well as keep your
budget in check. Something simple like a nice salad and pasta meal is
inexpensive and easy to prepare.
Remember that it is the details that really show you care, so selecting
fresh healthy ingredients, creating easy courses, and not forgetting dessert
will win over even the most reluctant Valentine.
These ideas may seem
simple, and that's because they are. It
is the thought that counts, and putting effort into creating a beautiful meal
in a special setting can create a romantic mood for a small amount of money!
