Inexpensive Valentine Table Decorations

Combine simple, inexpensive items to decorate a beautiful Valentine's Day table.

Valentine's Day decorations don't have to be extravagant or expensive. Use items you already have or buy a few inexpensive items to create a Valentine's Day tablescape that celebrates love and romance without breaking the bank.

Ribbons

Tie wired ribbons in red, pink and white around stemware to dress up your Valentine table. Make bows to tie around the back of each chair and tuck a personalized Valentine card inside for a sweet place card.

Candies

Nothing says Valentine's Day like candy. Use small candy hearts as confetti on the table or fill three small crystal bowls with them to make a colorful table display. Inexpensive chocolate candies scattered on a tiered tray make a simple yet elegant centerpiece.

Candles

Add to the romance by placing clusters of candles on the table. Use a combination of votive and tapered candles. Place some of them on mirrors to double the amount of light so you can eliminate harsh overhead lighting.

Flowers

Flowers don't have to be expensive. A single stem at each place setting is a thoughtful touch. Float blossoms in bowls of water on the table.

Christmas Ornaments

Keep those Christmas ornaments close after the holidays. A silver bowl filled with red, pink and white glass balls makes a beautiful addition to your Valentine's Day table and doesn't require much time or money.
