Styling Your Valentine's Day Table with Ginny Branch

Wednesday, February 3, 2016

Ginny Branch is a prop stylist but, more accurately, a romantic with an affection for seeking out beautiful moments and vignettes. You have surely seen her styling expertise beautifully executed for Anthropologie, Coastal Living, Cooking Light, and Kinfolk. We were lucky enough to get a few tips from Ginny on how to style our table for Valentine's Day. After all, we eat with our eyes before we even begin to eat! 

• Get a lot of candles of different sizes like votives and tapers.
• Find pretty flowers from your local flower market.
• Invest in a really pretty statement flower like ranunculus, peonies or poppies. Or get some flowering branches like quince or forsythia. 
• Resist the urge to create and arrangement. When you buy beautiful flowers, you can get away with using one variety en masse in a vase. The simpler the better!
• Play music during dinner is a nice touch - bonus points if you have a record player and some vinyl. 

 Stay home this Valentine's Day and have a romantic dinner at home with our Valentine's Day Stuffed Pasta.
