On every dinner date, one would always want the best romantic dinner table, primarily to leave the best impression to his or her significant other. Special meals only come second in a supposed romantic dinner as the setting atmosphere is what makes it appreciated than for the food itself. Here are 5 ideas you can try:

Use flowers

Flowers are a good choice for setting the mood of a date. Often, women receive a bouquet before they are invited to sit. But, this is pretty monotonous. Huge bouquets even become a hassle as it is difficult to place in a table, so something small would be better. Alternatively, you may lay a short-stemmed rose on the plate for a romantic gesture.

But don’t limit your options with just the bouquet. There are more creative ways to make your dinner table romantic with the use of flowers. Sure, there are a lot of options to choose from but obviously, red roses are an all-time favorite as it is used to express romance and love. You can also use the red rose petals and sprinkle it all over the table.

Additionally, you can make use of rose petals in your gourmet, like placing rose petals in a glass of champagne for a romantic toast or topping off your dessert with a sprinkle of rose petals. You can also create a trail of petals from the front door that will lead your significant other all the way to the table.

Use candles

Using candles is another great way to make a romantic dinner. The little light coming from the candle and its dimming effects keep away the distractions of your surroundings making you pay attention to each other only. The low light coming from the candle is also relaxing and creates an intimate space between the two of you.

You may try filling a crystal bowl with water and add lighted floating candles. It would be great if you dim your light, for an overall feel. Sometimes, the scent coming from the candle also adds a romantic feel. Try choosing a scented candle that you both like.

Choose the Right Centerpiece

Choosing the right centerpiece is also important in decorating your table as it creates a focal point. Instantly, a centerpiece makes a dinner table sophisticated, and beautiful. Floral arrangements are the usual centerpieces. So if you opt for this, make sure to avoid making a tall centerpiece as it might cover the face of your significant other.

Flowers with candles also make a great pair for a centerpiece. Earlier, I mentioned about using a crystal bowl with water and lighted floating candles. You can also add a sprinkle of flower petals to enhance its look. Alternatively, you may make use of simple containers, such as mason jars, ordinary drinking glasses or dessert dishes for a centerpiece.

Use Edible Decorations

It may be surprising to prepare decorations that are edible, but what other purposes could you have in mind when preparing for your romantic dinner table other than to impress? Why not make use of edible decorations like flowers made of white chocolates? Alternatively, you may try authentic edible flower petals, like rose petals.

Repurpose your tableware and silverware

Put your cutlery, glassware, serving dishes and other useful items for practical as well as decorative purposes. There is something about the sparkling silverware, so dig out the finest china you can find in the house and polish them. Alternatively, you can make your initials using the silverware you have in your table.

Glasswares can also be converted into creative centerpieces with just a stem of a flower or a candle. Table napkins, on the other hand, may not sound really creative but there are a lot more ways to make it a great table decoration for your romantic dinner. Try getting creative by making unusual foldings or wrapping it with a ribbon.

Edible flowers and herbs create a dramatic food presentation and help create unusual table decoration ideas. You can arrange them around your glass. Additionally, you may make use of table napkins to pull off some surprise. Try putting a small card with your message for your significant other.
