This past weekend, we hosted a little get together with friends to celebrate Valentine’s Day. It was super sweet + super simple, and I love how it all turned out!

Because we hosted it after the actual holiday, the decor was all 50-60% off. Even the flowers were on sale. These particular flowers were from a local grocery store, but I do want to find another source for flowers grown locally.

I picked up these two wooden boxes last year. They look rustic but they have a plastic liner for flowers. At Christmas, I did two red floral arrangements using pine needles and pine cones for filler. I took these boxes out again for Valentine’s and stuffed them with pink + white flowers and a bit of eucalyptus which smelled so lovely!

For the guests, I put together a savoy and a sweet board. I was surprised at how many heart shaped things I found! Crackers, cookies and sour gummies!

We also did chocolate covered strawberries and apple roses. One year, my sister-in-law introduced me to these delicious apple roses. Ever since, I make them for the holidays. They are so easy + yummy and when I was trying to think what to have for the party, hubs suggested them. Roses + Valentine’s? Perfect!

It wasn’t just a party for the adults. Em’s friends came over to celebrate, too! We set up a craft table with Valentine’s stickers, note cards, glitter glue and all sorts of pink + red crafty things. The kids had so much fun creating!

For favors, there was a Valentine’s basket set out with pink “Love Me” scented glitter bath bombs for the guests to take upon their departure.

I had fun putting together this little party and celebrating with friends. I hope your heart holiday was a lovely one, too!
