Valentine Table Centerpiece Idea

Are you looking for a Valentine’s table centerpiece idea that’s both charming and unique?

Let me show you how I styled a pretty table with simple centerpieces using vintage cake tins, elegant transferware, and beautiful flowers for a touch of timeless romance.

Memorable Vintage Valentine Centerpiece Details

I have loved decorating with my mother’s antique brown and white Transferware cups and plates this winter, and they did not disappoint for this Valentine’s centerpiece, along with a few cinnamon sticks and dried fruit scattered for some texture, color, and a potpourri scent.

Yes, buttons!

I think they look sweet, and that’s what Valentine’s Day is all about!

Fresh Flowers

I picked up a pink and white bouquet at our local supermarket.

A bouquet that centers the table in this antique CAKE tin was also my mother’s.

Heart Garland

A small newspaper heart garland I found on Etsy last year adds a soft Valentine’s Day touch to the antique CAKE tin.

Nostalgic Newspaper DIY

Do you notice the vintage wooden newspaper platform on which the Transferware cups rest?

When I opened the CAKE tin, there were old newspapers stuffed in it from 1974 that my mother had used when she used this tin to decorate.

They were a treasure to find, not only for that reason but also because my father was a composer at the Portsmouth Herald Newspaper in Portsmouth, NH, and created the layout for this newspaper.

So the newspaper in the tin was actually composed by my father in 1974!

I wanted to hang onto these old newspapers, so I created a simple DIY with three pieces of wood from our garage with a little Mod Podge.

I cut out certain newspaper sections, wrapped the newspaper around the wood pieces, and covered them with Mod Podge.

I’m using this newspaper-inspired project today for our Valentine’s centerpiece as a platform on the table.

Next, I will bring them to our home in Maine and hang them on a wall somewhere in the home as a family remembrance.

Valentine Centerpiece with Blue Vases & Candlesticks

The soft blue glass candlesticks on the vintage mantel are my favorite.

I found these at one of my favorite gift shops in Maine, The Shops of Cape Neddick.

They also transformed into flower vases, where I added pink tulips to one of the larger glass candlesticks on the end.
