I came across these at Home Goods on mark down. The starry dishes are
by Sara Miller London, Portmeirion Celestial Collection. The glittery
gold chargers were part of a set of 4
The "Love" dishes came from Hobby Lobby. I accented them with a chocolate heart! The gold rimmed stemware were also from Home Goods. I borrowed the center glass tray from under my cloche nearby. My theme quickly became gold and red!
Then I brought in my "Red Velvet" Amaryllis that I've been growing for the last month for my centerpiece.
I had this pink rose accented pottery piece for some time. Turns out it was just the right size for the amaryllis.
Red Velvet amaryllis is a very large and truly red flower. Here it is nearly all opened up.
And now it's in full bloom! Just as gorgeous as a red rose!

These are candles accented with heart graphics from Pier 1 with "Pink Champagne" as their scent. The crystal candlesticks are also from Pier 1.
The gold and white striped candles were part of a boxed set I picked up at TJMaxx a while back.
I was going for a bit of an elegant with a flair of whimsy!

Your table makes me think of a fine dining restaurant.I think you captured exactly the right amount of flair and whimsy with all of your decor paired together. Those gold candlesticks are so pretty in the crystal candle sticks!

ReplyDeleteLiz, Your Red Velvet amaryllis is stunning and makes a beautiful centerpiece for your table with your pot embellishments. I love your plate stack ending with your sweet love plates. As always it’s a pleasure to blog hop with you. I hope your Valentine’s Day celebration is sweet.♥
ReplyDeleteLiz, I think your amaryllis is the prettiest one I’ve ever seen. I love how you embellished the pot with the heart touches. Very pretty dishes too. How sweet to put a chocolate heart on each plate.
ReplyDeleteLiz, your intention was perfectly paired - elegance & whimsy! I adore how you took the HL plates and punctuated them with the chocolate heart. Dressing your amaryllis for the occasion is the crown jewel to the chargers and dinner plates on the table. This is such a romantic table overall, very tasteful. I am happy to be in your company in this roundup of inspiration. Happy February!
ReplyDeleteit's beautiful and the red and gold is so perfect together. I love your velvet amaryllis too. I recently wrote a post about my foroced bulb paperwhites. The love plates are so sweet, adding a bit of chocolate makes them even sweeter ( wink). It's a pleasure to hop with you, Pinned! Hugs, Katherine
ReplyDeleteLiz, what perfect timing for your beautiful red velvet amaryllis to be in bloom. It makes for a beautiful presentation, especially in the rose adorned pot. The plate stack is wonderful with the gold and the love plates. Adding the chocolate heart is the perfect touch. The candles are darling. Lots of romance for this beautiful table. A pleasure to join you on this Valentine blog hop.
ReplyDeleteYour table is so lovely! The gold dishes are so lovely, but the "love" plate with your sweet chocolate treat is the icing on the cake! The amaryllis in bright red compliments your other red accents. How adorable is that pot with it's little floral accents! You have me wondering what exactly "pink champagne" smells like! I have had it to drink, but never noticed the scent! Thanks for joining us in a hop again!
ReplyDeleteLiz, the Red Velvet amaryllis is a fabulous centerpiece for your lovely Valentine’s table. The love plate with the chocolate heart speaks of the special day. Your table is so lovely and romantic. It is a pleasure to blog hop with you. Happy Valentine’s Day ❤️
ReplyDeleteThat amaryllis is stunning - and how perfect for a Valentine's Day table! You did a beautiful job layering the plates and the Love plate is so simple and pretty. What a lovely table! Happy Valentine's Day!

Liz, your amaryllis is beautiful and makes a perfect centerpiece for your beautiful table. I love its bold red flower heads. The glittery gold chargers bring more bling to your table along with the glittery red heart garland. The handwritten "love" dessert plates are such an elegant touch and works so nicely with the glittery chargers. I am so curious to know how the Pink Champagne candle must smell throughout the room. It is, of course, spot-on for celebrating Valentine's Day. Wishing you a lovely Valentine's Day holiday.
