How to Decorate for a Romantic Dinner for Two

Prepare the table. Clean the area around the table so there are no ugly distractions. Cover the table with a clean, pressed white table cloth.

Place the flowers. Set a large heart-shaped doily in the center of the table. Place the flower-filled vase in the center of the doily, allowing the bouquet of flowers to beautifully fall around the side of the vase.

Set the doilies around the center piece. Place about five or six of the heart-shaped doilies, alternating colors as you go around the center doily. Place a T-light candle on each of the doilies and spread some chocolate kisses around the candles. Surround the entire vase with T-light candles as well.

Set the table for dinner. Place the two dinner plates on the table, one in front of each chair. Set the small appetizer plate directly on top of the dinner plate, and place the silverware wrap diagonally on top of the appetizer plate. Place one wine glass in front of each plate setting, and set the bottle of wine off to your side of the table.

Set the mood. Start playing some low volume romantic music in the background. The music will highlight the already beautiful atmosphere. Wait until right before you expect your partner to arrive home before you light the candles and turn off the lights.
