A trip to a spa, active skiing, a night at the cinema or theatre – there are many ways to spend this special day, though most couples prefer a romantic dinner that awakens the senses, encourages long, unhurried conversations, and fosters intimacy. We suggest how to decorate a table for a Valentine's dinner at home.
Opt for original decorations
The arrangement of a Valentine's table should begin with choosing a dominant colour. Red, due to its symbolism, has completely taken over Valentine's Day – it is the colour of love, passion, and ardour. It should also not be missing during a formal dinner for two! Red napkins (preferably made of fabric) will look beautiful on a light tablecloth – white or ecru. You can create an elaborate composition with them or subtly roll them and tie them with a thin ribbon, so that beyond their practical function, they will serve as decoration.
Candles – a must! They will add an unusual, intimate atmosphere to a romantic dinner, creating a mood conducive to long gazes and whispered sweet nothings. Long, slender candles will look beautiful in a glass candle holder. The glow of the flame reflecting off the glass surface creates warm reflections and introduces an element of magic into the evening's atmosphere. Some models of candle holders, available in KROSNO's range, are not only beautiful and original but are designed to protect the flame from drafts, which means they can also be successfully used during summer garden parties.
How else can you liven up your Valentine's decor? Nothing does it better than fresh flowers in an intense red colour. They will fill the interior with a beautiful fragrance, which – in combination with the exquisite taste of the dishes served and the artistry of the table decoration – will be a true paradise for the senses. An elegant glass vase will also be a great complement to the decor. A model depicting the outlines of a woman's and man's faces will perfectly fit into the style of a romantic dinner. Together with other elements, it will create a harmonious whole, which has a significant impact on the perception of aesthetic impressions – everything should be refined in every detail this evening. Love is in the air!
Tip
If roses are the flowers you've chosen for this evening, you can also use them for another purpose – arrange the petals of one on the tablecloth to create an artistic disarray. The effect? A beautifully adorned table in an original, sensual way.
Crystal glass
It goes without saying that tableware should be impeccably clean and sparkling. Professionally polished glasses, goblets, and wine glasses will beautifully reflect the candlelight. We also advise opting for simple, unadorned and ungrooved glass – there will be enough variety on the table. Minimalism in tableware has a great advantage over extravagance – glass in this style is more universal and therefore suitable for any occasion. Wine glasses, with a large bowl in a traditional shape, are just right for a Valentine's dinner, but also a purchase for years to come.
When serving beverages or wine, it's worth reaching for stylish carafes. Their unconventional, sophisticated shapes and the highest precision of craftsmanship will surely appeal to lovers of refined design and original solutions. Thanks to this, carafes – in addition to their primary function – will also be a great decorative element. Those with a stopper – glass or wooden – will prove particularly functional. This small, yet universal element, prevents the loss of taste and aroma of the drink, even if the dinner extends into the late hours.
Subtle, but far from opulent decorations, along with KROSNO brand tableware made of high-quality glass, will ensure that a romantic dinner receives a setting worthy of this special occasion and will long remain in your memory.
