I'm reposting this tabular array setting from 3 years - yet obsessed alongside these flowers! 

...

Over the holidays nosotros wanted to convey our closest friends over for a especial dinner... together with and hence nosotros got busy together with directly it is about February.  So, I'm making it upward to them past times hosting a Valentine's dinner political party consummate alongside an all Barefoot Contessa menu. 

The entire political party was inspired past times roses I works life at Trader Joe's - spray roses inwards coral, orangish together with pale pink.  I bought them on a whim together with and hence decided that I needed to convey a Valentine's Day party.  In fact, those roses were the alone affair I needed to purchase for the table, together with at $5 per bunch (for a full of $15) I mean value they are an amazing centerpiece.  It is a piffling fancier than I typically laid upward a tabular array for dinner alongside friends, but I idea it would last fun to gussy it upward a bit. Here is a step-by-step guide for how I made this arrangement.

I pulled inwards our greyness wingback chairs from the solid unit of measurement room - alongside their blankets together with pillows, they larn far such a cozy table.

The carte du jour is a fleck over the top!

Here is what I'm planning :

Parmesan Crisps
Caramelized Bacon
Slow-Roasted Beef Tenderloin (I can't larn enough...)
Balsamic-Roased Brussels Sprouts
Truffled Mashed Potatoes
Chocolate Cassis Cake

What produce you lot think?  Too much?  Too rich?  Or only correct for an indulgent holiday...?

I dear how this white rose that was mixed inwards alongside the pale pinkish ones opened upward completely.  It looks similar a existent garden rose.

Here is a link to the step-by-step instructions alongside bloom buying tips (Trader Joe's for these, $15).

Notice, I decided to alter the vase afterward I had completed the arrangement.  I dear how the footed vase gives the tabular array a to a greater extent than fanciful, ornate experience - really dissimilar than the build clean modern vase, which I also love.  It is hence interesting how such a modest choice, similar a vase, tin completely influence the entire experience of a table/party.
