I enjoy dining at home and usually opt for a quiet evening at home to celebrate special occasions.  As usual, I like using items I already have and creating this colorful romantic dinner was not difficult at all!

I decided to use this table that is on the porch because it’s round and is the perfect size for an intimate dinner for two. I removed all the succulents and placed it in the shadiest part of our yard.

For the tablecloth, I chose to use two. I used a tie dye fabric to add the color pop and layered it with the lace for a romantic effect. Both were scored at a thrift store and the round table was the perfect size! Vintage candlesticks with colorful tapered candles, a copper bowl, and pink flamingo napkins and color and bling to the table top. 

A colorful striped blanket with lanterns hung with colorful citronella tea lights add comfort and color. 

One can never have enough outdoor lanterns. Similar ones available here.

Lit bare bulbs in trees add the perfect romantic ambience.

At dusk, light the candles for the perfect ambience

This is actually a thrifted chandelier that I hung from a branch. I removed the three tiny bulbs and cut tapered candles to fit the light slots. I love it! xx
