I absolutely love all of the planning leading up to Valentine's Day. Whether it's baking, decorating, shopping for a gift to get my husband and then of course enjoying a romantic dinner for two. I mean honestly, what's not to love about this holiday!?! Even if you are spending the holiday with friends, it's a great opportunity to incorporate a little festive entertaining into your evening plans.
I know I have said this before, but it's really true…Champagne is an absolute essential for my Valentine's Day festivities. Last year I set up a really cute/romantic Dessert and Champagne Bar, which was fabulous. However, this year I have decided to make my Valentine's Day champagne mobile (thanks to the recent addition of my bar cart). Yes, this year I am going to be serving champagne cocktails fireside (well actually just in my living room, but fireside would be picturesque if we had one). My husband and I are both big fans of making champagne cocktails, so I have set out all necessary cocktail accoutrements along with a few holiday treats on my very "decked out" bar cart. Here is how I went about creating this very festive and delicious setting:

While I am really looking forward to enjoying this delicious looking bar cart of treats with my husband on Sunday, I am equally (if not more) excited to share Friday's post with you all. One last Valentine's post is coming to Redefining Domestics on Friday, and I must say that it is probably the sweetest yet, so stay tuned!
