Fall in Love with our Posh Romantic Dinner Table Setup

Linens

When it comes to setting a romantic dinner table at home, decorating a small table that keeps you close to your partner is a great choice to spark passion. Hence, we decided to use a small square table that would perfectly accommodate the two place settings and the exquisite decorations we had in mind for our romantic tablescape. Since we were looking for colors other than the usual reds and pinks, we ended up going for a jewel-toned color palette for our romantic dinner table setup, and to our surprise, it not only worked out like a charm but also accentuated the sensual appeal of the entire tablescape tenfold. The silky and lustrous gold satin square tablecloth gave a smooth luxurious drape while the textural feel of our plush navy blue velvet runner added a regal contrast in both color and texture elevating the sumptuous allure of our romantic dinner table. Because our velvet table runners come in a plethora of rich hues, you can also opt for any other vivid color such as emerald green or purple to exude an imperial appeal. However, we suggest that you follow our example as gold and navy blue are a match made in heaven just like your couple!

Table Settings

Once our linens were in place, we decided to zero in on our romantic dinner table setting for two. While our store is brimming with an eclectic range of dinnerware, from charming chargers to designer dinner plates, we fell head over heels in love with our round navy blue and gold charger plates with scalloped rims and decided to pair them with our blue-rimmed white dinner plates with gold vine design for a subtle hint of romanticism. The dusky colored charger highlighted with soft strokes of gold and chic scalloped edged design gave a striking look to the place settings whereas the white dinner plates gave relief from the bold hues, not to mention the blue and gold rim that helped seamless transition between the charger and plate. To further enrich the table settings, we placed a single cream silk rose stem across the plate for a romantic gesture and coordinated the dinnerware with an ornate set of white handled gold cutlery along with gold-rimmed flutes for champagne and clear gold-rimmed glass cups for water that added a dash of sophistication to our romantic dinner setting.

Centerpiece

Next on the agenda was to add glamour to the table, which we handled with a bunch of gorgeous blooms, a sleek and stylish vase, and some ornate little touches that made the whole table feel luxe. In order to make sure that the scent of the flowers doesn’t compete with the aroma of the food, we scoured through our majestic selection of lifelike artificial flowers to gloriously bedeck our romantic dinner table. As we wanted to stick to the jewel-toned color scheme, we’ve bunched together some lovely burgundy-colored silk peonies with white baby breaths and arranged them in a slender gold dipped glass bud vase that added a gorgeous dimension to the table without blocking out the view. To further boost the impact of our idyllic centerpiece, we placed our flower vase on top of a round mirror which imparted extravagance and panache like never seen before!

Additional Tabletop Decorations

Once our showstopper flower centerpiece was in its place, we decided to introduce drama to our romantic dinner tablescape with candles and more floral touches; after all, what’s a romantic dinner decoration without fluttering candlelight and a whole lot of lovely blooms gracing the table. But this time around, we used an alluring ivory rose garland with faux leaves to bedeck the edge of the table which ushered in a graceful flair.

As the secret to set a romantic mood is using a bunch of candles, we nestled our dripless and unscented white taper candles in our ornate crystal glass holders in varying heights that oozed a whimsical glow onto the table without creating a mess which usually is a mood killer. With dim lighting and a dusky color palette, the addition of tall candles around the centerpiece created a mesmerizing and romantic ambiance. You can also opt for scented candles to ignite the senses but make sure that you use non-flowery scent as it may compete with the food aroma.

Chair Decor

Since we wanted to go all out with our romantic decorations, we decided not to stop at just the table decor and moved to deck out the chairs as well. Swapping our dining chairs with gold colored chairs, we opted for our ivory lace and tulle tutu chair covers to stylishly adorn the chair backs adding the intricate frilly notes that are synonymous with romantic decor. To make the chairs more comfortable, we also used navy blue velvet seat cushions that helped reinforce the luxurious color scheme.

Backdrop

In order to complete our romantic dinner table setup, creating a plain but sumptuous backdrop to accentuate the whimsical aura of our settings made perfect sense. Thus, we draped our fancy navy blue velvet curtain panels on a heavy duty backdrop stand as seen in the video to match with the grand opulence and majestic allure of our romantic dinner table decorations.
