Valentine’s Day Dinner Decor Ideas 2012

Every year, 14th February is celebrated by lovers asValentine’s Day. We all know how it started, today the gesture is a simple one, appreciated and shared across cultures and geographical boundaries: To celebrate the bond of love that you share with your better half.

Valentine’s Day 2012 is but a few days away, and shopping malls and streets are colored red with heart shaped balloons, roses and ribbons. From Valentine’s Day cards to Roses and flower deliveries, there is something that you can do to show your beloved that she is special and cared for. Sure you’ll order flowers and a Valentine’s Day gift for her as usual, but this year, try doing a little extra effort to pamper the love of your life.

This year, Timeless Wrought Iron decided to help you out in planning the perfect Valentine’s Day dinner for your beloved. In our last post, we had put together a list of Wrought Iron items that you can use to plan a beautiful, cozy and romantic dinner at your home to celebrate Valentine’s Day.  You can find these items here.

So, now that you have the props, it’s time to get to work!

Use the wrought iron floor lamp to get the ideal lighting effect in your living room. We suggest you set it up in a cozy nook with an end table underneath. Place a vase – the wrought iron and glass vase – on the table with fresh red roses in it. You can also add some colored stones to the vase to make better use of the light and bring more focus to the vase. While the wrought iron vase will complement the floor lamp, it will also act as a beautiful focal point to your living room.

Try a few wrought iron candle holders with red and white candles – these can be fat ones for a more relaxed setting or classically tapered to suit your mood and preference – but only one or two will be enough. Avoid overusing any one particular kind of item as it loses its significance that way.  You can use balloons, heart shaped of course, for a more festive look. Just a single bunch, and if you use curled ribbon trims to hold it together, that would be nicer.

As far as the food is concerned, it will be a plus point if you can cook it yourself. She will be impressed by the effort you put into the evening. You can look online for ideas and easy recipes. But even if you order the food from a takeaway, your wonderful presentation will be enough to win her heart. For this purpose, try a beautiful wrought iron and ceramic serving casserole or platter.

White dishes will complement the black wrought iron on the table to perfection. You can use rose shaped wrought iron napkin rings or lovely butterfly shaped ones. These will complement the general black and white look on your dining table.

To add a touch of color, try red candles in wrought iron candle holders and a wrought iron and glass vase with just a stem or two of beautiful red roses.

Some fruit on a marble and wrought iron serving platter or wrought iron and glass fruit basket will add more color and make the meal look more inviting.

Add a touch of rose petals and you are good to go.

Team Timeless Wrought Iron wishes you a very Happy Valentine’s Day 2012!

Valentine’s Day 2012 Shopping Guide

Valentine’s Day 2012 is just a week away. Are you prepared? Every woman expects her beloved to do something special for her on Valentine’s Day. It is the time of year when you are expected to wear your heart on your sleeve and express your love and affection to your beloved in a way that is both unique as well as special.

This Valentine’s Day, be prepared in time, make sure you have everything you need beforehand to pull off the most romantic dinner date ever. Even though a good restaurant or a hotel seems like a good option, you’d better think again… You can never have a cozy, intimate dinner in a public place, especially on Valentine’s Day when every place will already be crowded. Invite her over to your place this year and give her a time to remember.

You need to create the right ambiance, and in order to achieve the Valentine look, the correct decor and attention to small details is very important. Be careful not to overdo the flowers and balloons, instead opt for a classy look with something different, like wrought iron to act as an accent to the soft roses and the candles.

Buy wrought iron candle holders for your living room as well as your dining table, and if you don’t have one already, we strongly recommend a wrought iron floor lamp to dull down the lighting and create a very soft, relaxing and romantic atmosphere. Low light also helps hide any stains on your sofa or carpet!

You should also use wrought iron and glass vases for your Valentine Flowers; the combination is stunning the soft, delicate and bright blossom form the perfect contrast against black wrought iron.

For the dining table, you should try wrought iron napkin rings, there is a wide range of designs available, and you can get one in the shape of a butterfly or a rose. You can also opt for a beautiful wrought iron and ceramic serving platter or cake platter.

Stay tuned for our post next week on how to decorate your home for the perfect Valentine’s Day Dinner for two.

Wrought Iron Tables and Wrought Iron Table Bases For Interiors

Ideally, a table should be as functional as it is stylish, and a table that is too delicate for actual use serves little purpose. If you need tables for your home or workplace, the first thing you need to do is to decide on the intended use as well as the space you have available.

If you can’t find that perfect table that you have in mind in the regular furniture outlets, you can opt for a Wrought Iron Table Base coupled with a top of your choice. Wrought Iron bases come in a great variety of designs ranging from the classically ornate to the modern, sleek and stylish. Whether you are in the mood for a spacious, chunky dining table or a delicate and elegant breakfast table, a wrought iron base can be forged to perfection to meet your design needs.

You can also choose the finish that you want for your table base, from shiny to rustic matte.

Using Wrought Iron Table Bases, you can create the most unique and artistic tables that are guaranteed to charm the beholder. From cast aluminum top hand painted in mosaic patterns to earthy stone tops and chunky wooden ones, a lot can be done with a wrought iron table base.

Tempered glass tops are always in fashion and they look very beautiful with wrought iron bases especially if you have opted for an ornate design. The see-through glass allows the beholder to appreciate the beauty of the hand forged base, and tempered glass is strong enough for everyday use and proves to be safe even with kids. The tempered glass and wrought iron table is as casual – or as formal – as you want it to be and fits perfectly into any possible color theme. It offers a great base for a delicate crystal vase or a beautiful table lamp.

Veneer table tops are also a good option. They are not only very chic and shiny, they are also available in different colors to match or accent any color scheme that you may have in mind.
