Romantic Valentine Dinner Ideas

With the Day of Love right around the corner, making reservations at a fancy restaurant to surprise your love is at the top of your to-do list. Unfortunately for you, it’s at the top of everyone’s to-do list. This year, skip the crowded restaurants and the stress of going out on the town –– opt for a romantic evening at home instead! Shari’s Berries has created beautiful mood boards that will inspire you to recreate the luxury of a fancy restaurant right at home!

Sure, it’s exciting to get all dressed up and have a bougie night on the town with your S.O., but you can create the same high-class date night for the two of you without even leaving the house. From stunning tablescapes to incredible dinner and dessert recipes, these ideas will leave your date swooning and begging for another evening at home next year!

Whether you prefer deep romantic reds or whimsical pinks, the tablescape you create for your romantic dinner will set the mood for the whole evening. Having a Galentine’s Day party with your squad? Delicate, feminine blush tones accompanied with some sweet bubbles will be a big hit! For a more intimate, seductive vibe, try deep burgundy and violet when decorating your table.

Ready for the main event? For aspiring Michelin-star chefs to ramen noodle frequenters, these dinner recipes are easy to make and are guaranteed to impress. Try seafood and pasta for a lighter touch or stick with traditional favorites like juicy steak and potatoes!

To finish off the night with something sweet, there’s nothing quite like a decadent little dessert colored pink and topped with cream! Incorporate chocolate kisses into simple sugar cookies or go all out with heart-shaped macarons and watch your date’s face light up after the first bite!
