So here's Day 3 of our 5 Days of Valentine's - somewhat like the 12 days of Christmas - with a different table setting design for each day.
Day 3: Red and White Theme
I want the 3rd day to feel like it's the start of a more serious relationship. I wanted to make it look a little formal by adding a deeper red into the scheme. I've changed the plain cotton white tablecloth into the silkier damask (that I use during the holidays) to bring out the patterned red cloth.
The red cloth was purchased from a fabric store at a discount during previous holidays.
The centerpiece of Valentine's Day 2 was kept.
The centerpiece is surrounded by red boxes and filled with a little trinket to be exchanged during dinner.
I wanted to keep the idea of the woman still being wooed with flowers and candies.
This time the plate has a clear shade to show the deep red of the charger. What better combination of sweet and flowery than a marshmallow candied rose as a napkin holder.
The vase from Valentine's Day 2 will also be used as a tray for the red velvet cake dessert.
I used a white patterned tablecloth to accentuate the redness of the table.
Dinner
Day 3 Valentine's Day Dinner - Pork chops stewed in Mango nectar
I meant to use Guava nectar for its pinkness but the only thing I had was Mango nectar. Fortunately, it turned out just as well (except for the color theme violation!)
Dessert
Red Velvet Cake with cream cheese icing.
