Valentine’s Day Decor!

It’s been three years since I’ve posted to Style Me Marie, but I’m back with some Valentine’s Day decor ideas for you! First, peruse the isles of Home Goods or the like and find some heart plates to string into a garland. I have clear plastic command hooks on my mantle, eager and always ready to hold up something festive for me!

Next, homemade decor adds love to a space, and I adore how these 3D paper hearts turned out! I intended to make another garland with them, but they refused to hang straight. Fortunately, problems usually unfold into something superior, as was the case here! I ended up tying them into chiffon silk ribbon to hang happily on our powder bath door, still crooked, but happier somehow.

To make these easy 3D paper hearts, I simply cut out six identical hearts from double-sided scrapbook paper, folded them in half and glued one half of a heart to another half, and so on and so forth, until the sphere of hearts was completed by kissing the final two heart cheeks together. Mwah!

I bought a cranberry gingham table runner, but it looked a little lonely, so I rolled out wrapping paper I bought on Christmas clearance beneath it. I love all these colors and patterns together. My kids simply must cave and have a Valentine’s party.

Candles are essential for any holiday, but a romantic holiday? 100 percent. Also, this floral candelabra is dreamy.

While decorating our entry for Valentine’s Day, I had the epiphany to attach a clear command hook on the stair railing to hang a floral painting. We have a curved wall here, so hanging it directly to the wall wouldn’t work. Over the years, Trial and Error and I have become besties, but I’m improving at decorating the buffet in our entry, and I love the view right now!

Finally, the other half of our entry. More floral paintings, touches of blush, and candles, of course. But in my eyes, the big tulle hair bows are the star. Back story: I’d been eyeing them all Christmas season long, wishing to wear them in my hair or convince my teen daughter to, but I knew if they were for hair, they’d live and die in our bathroom drawer. So, you know who I really wanted to wear them? My Christmas wreaths. I have two wreaths, one on each side of our front door. And so when the tulle bows were dirt cheap on Christmas clearance, I made them mine and immediately clipped them into the “hair” of my evergreen wreaths! Perfect for Valentine’s, right?
