During the last year or so your enjoyment of candlelit romantic
dinners has probably been few and far between considering the shut down of
restaurants worldwide. It’s times like these when we need to get creative and
enjoy our own candlelit romantic setting at home.
The shorter days of winter seem to provide the perfect
opportunity for dinners such as these. After all, what is more cozy and
enjoyable than being inside enjoying warmth and delicious food while outside
snow is falling?
This is my second winter tablescape for this year, and I had great fun putting it together. It began with the centerpiece featuring two faux pine trees covered with a sparkling crystal “ice.”
My favorite oil-rubbed bronze metal houses, illuminated from within, give the feeling of a romantic night in the woods. A project that I was working on requiring polyester fiberfill caused me to put some in place to represent snow.
An abundance of candlelight was a must so I used both my little reindeer candleholders as well as snowflake candleholders. I always hate putting these away after Christmas, so try to get as much mileage out of them as possible.
Three twig reindeer round out the cozy scene, dappled with little snowflake plaques.
I wanted to keep the colors as neutral as possible to represent winter. I used a repeat of my favorite checked tablecloth, topped with a macramé table runner from Anthropologie.
White metal chargers from Pier 1 are topped with nubby-edged, chestnut brown dinner plates are also from Pier 1. The salad plate features a wonderful pheasant.
Flatware in this table setting is from Cabela’s as it was in the last table setting, this set featuring a cozy cabin.
Pure white cups and saucers are a further reminder of white blankets of snow; the crystal stemware represents ice.
If you’re trying to create a romantic setting nothing beats candlelight, the
more the better. Even the simplest place setting can look quite elegant in
candlelight.
