As we get into details of decor further you will be able to envision your party decor better. Pick at least one focal point for the party decor to make an impression.

Build a Show-Stopping Statement Backdrop

Adding a backdrop as party decor can instantly lift the entire party space and make it more welcoming. I like backdrops because it make a good photo spot, elevate the party vibe and most importantly does not limit the use of functional space. Which is very important if you are hosting an apartment party or in a small space.

• Choose a backdrop that matches your aesthetic and based on the size of the room so that it enhances the space without overshadowing everything.
• You can go for balloon or flower arch or a mix of both. Choose the colors that balances the color scheme such as a mix of red with shades of pink or white.
• You can also go for marquee letters to display “BFF” or “GALS”
• You can also layer tassels or streamers to create a stunning backdrop.
• One of the cute DIY backdrop ideas is to make a layer with streamers and add to it a big heart paper cut or sticky notes in the shape of heart for your girls to share messages and memories.

Add Romantic Glow Through Lighting Layers

Lights can completely transform your party decor so make sure you don’t skip it. It not only elevates the look but set the mood and make the space more lively. You can effectively reflect the party aesthetic you visiualize by choosing the right lightning for your party.

Here are a few ways to do the same.

• If you want a fun and glamorous party go for LED strip lights in pink along the corner and edges to add decor to the left out space and also to add a subtle light pop. Or you can also use neon signs
• For a cozy gathering go for string lights. LED candles or lanterns to create a soft glow.
• For an elegant look go gold decor along with lightening, it can be a golden lantern or candle holder, placed on mirror tray for a touch of elegance.
• Since its valentines include some floral candles in shade of red or pink and make a centerpiece by adding some flowers around them. Scented candle will not just look beautiful but also build an ambience with floral smell. You can also use cute and pretty candle holders with led or simple candle to add to the decor.
• To enhance the lightening try to include mirror in your party decor, that will reflect the light and add more glow to the room. A heart shaped mirror with floral decor looks perfect for the day.

Create a Beautiful Galantines Tablescape

To set a beautiful tablespace for the party choose a cohesive color palette. Start with a tablecloth followed by runner and placemats to set the dimensions. You can play with these 3 elements itself to create different looks.

Next, add mix of height of candles, florals and small decor items in the center.

Finally add matching or complementary dinnerware to complete the setup and visually balance the look. Add napkins and place cards or thankyou note to complete the look.

Here are a few ideas to help you set the table as per your party aesthetic.

• For a glam party go for bold metallic like gold or rose-gold accents. Use a shimmering or sequined table cloth followed by plain table runner. Crystal or metallic candle holders, add a Dramatic floral arrangements with roses, orchids, or dark burgundy tones. Go for classic white dinnerware with metallic napkin rings.
• For a fun and playful galentine’s tablescape use pink or pastel combination with playful patterns. Use simple white or light pink table cloth so that the other playful decor will pop. Add patterned table runner and cute flowers like peonies to the center along with candles. The main decor item for such tablescape can be the dinnerware itself, you can go for fun and cute shaped or patterned plates or napkins or serve on heart shaped bowls.

Use clear glassware and neutral dishware for a clean, elegant look. Add simple napkin rings and place cards, menu cards for sophistication.

Make a Cute, Cozy Seating Area

Galantines party is all about chatting, bonding so make sure to have a seating arrangement that encourage conversation. Go for semi-circle or circular seating arrangement. It can be on floor, couch or a mix. You can seating types by adding blankets and add floor cushions, poufs around the couch.

Add soft, cozy throw and plush cushions to add texture and comfort.

You can also keep a small side table to keep belongings and decorate it with a floral centerpiece. Add neon sign, floral decor around the seating space and include cute heart shaped cushions that pair with your party aesthetics. Try some fun activities and games with friends.

Include charcuterie board and dessert or fruit platter as part of your menu to elevate the look

For a glam galentine’s food station use gold, rose gold, or hot pink serveware and accents. Add sequins or a metallic runner under the setup. Display sparkling drinks in glitter-rimmed glasses and add decorative drink stirrer or straw.

Don’t Miss Photo Zone for Capturing Memories

Make your celebration more memorable by making a photo booth to capture the memories for the day and get some likes on socials. Choose a spot with good natural light , or add soft lighting around for good photos.

You can use balloons, sequins, fringe curtains, or a fabric panel and instantly turn any wall into a photo zone. Make sure the material and colors match the party aesthetics. Make sure to add at least one strong focal element. It can be a big hear made of flowers or neon lights. You can also make some creative patterns using pom-pom garland or streamers to make the wall pop. Place some props like heart-shaped glasses, signs, or themed accessories to click fun photos.

If you have small space or have already decided on a good background you can skip this.

Add Small Decor to Tie the Theme Together

Finally add a few pieces of decor here and there to make the decor of the party look cohesive. So that the entire party space looks beautifully decorated and not just stations and backdrop space. Use small decor pieces to connect your color palette throughout the room.

Here are some simple ideas.

• Hang themed banners or triangle bunting across windows, mantels to add a bit of decor without overwhelming the space.
• You can also hang mini wreaths around in your color scheme. I absolutely love floral hoops that look gorgeous and elegant, and are super easy to make. You can hang them on windows or from ceilings in the corner.
• You can also DIY a flower vase or candle holders by covering it in glitter.
• Cover the surface below the candle or vase with flower petals, aesthetically arranging the flowers or sprinkling heart shaped confetti’s.
