Romantic Valentine’s Day Mantel

Roses are red,

Violets are blue.

A simple Valentine’s Day mantel just for you.

Valentine’s Day is near so I thought I’d share a simple mantel I put together.  I needed a little bit of twinkle after Christmas, so I kept out a strand of icicle lights to create this Valentine’s Day mantel.  However, you can create something similar without the lights!  I kept it simple this time with just a few pops of pink and white. Let’s put the mantel together.

For the base of the mantel, I layered three vintage windows.  The vintage windows have made an appearance on the blog with the spring mantel and patriotic mantel already.  I just love architectural salvage and had visions of twinkling lights for a romantic look – so back to the vintage windows I went!  The icicle lights are hung behind the windows and tape is holding some of the strands in place.

To add a little height, I leaned pink and white yarn wrapped XO letters against the windows – which is a DIY from the early stages of the blog.  😉  However, it’s always fun to see how much this blog and my photography skills have grown.  Plus I love that even now Mr. Sweet Southern Oaks is helping me behind the scenes with all the ideas I share with you. <3

For the final part of the Valentine’s Day mantel, I added thrifted blush vases that we actually used at our wedding!  I clipped pink English Tea Roses and white flowers to add into each vase.

That’s it – a simple, Romantical Mantel for Valentine’s Day!  Yes,”romantical” – it’s not a typo.  I made up the word and I’m going to use it all the time now! 😉  To clarify, something that is a cross between romantic and magical  is “romantical” to me.

Happy Valentine’s Day, sweet friends!  I hope that no matter what your circumstances may be this Valentine’s Day, that you know you are loved.
