Your Guide to Making Every Day Valentine's Day
When it comes to celebrating the love of your life, we're true believers that romance shouldn't be reserved for just one special day a year. That's why today we're teaming up with The Registry at Bloomingdale's to count down the ways you can fill your home with l.o.v.e. seven days a week, 365 days a year. From romantic meals to cozy Sundays, we've got you covered. Scroll for our top five tips below.
ONE: DATE NIGHTS IN
Nothing says romance quite like an evening spent snuggling at home, but when you add in an amazing meal, plus a few glasses of your favorite wine, it takes the amour to an an entirely new level. Sure, ordering pizza works, too, but to really show that special someone you care, we suggest going all out with fab place settings, flowers, music AND candles to really, really set the mood.
Things to Remember
- Creating a romantic tablescape might seem daunting, but with The Registry at Bloomingdale's, everything you'll ever need will be right at your fingertips. We're talking gorgeous china, beautiful flatware and those special champagne flutes you'll need to "cheers" the one you love at the end of the evening.
- You can't make the perfect meal without a whole lot of help in the kitchen, which is why The Registry at Bloomingdale's lineup of awesome kitchen tools is a definite must. Be sure to use their handy Registry Checklist, so you're not missing out on that mixer or coffee pot.
TWO: FILL YOUR SPACE WITH GORGEOUS DECOR
We all know about setting the mood, but when it comes to 365 days a year of romance, filling your home with beautiful details will have the same effect... we promise. Start with some gorgeous pillows and throws, then add sentimental pieces, like stunning picture frames with amazing captures of you and yours.

We're talking lush pillows, luxurious bedding and a cozy robe that will basically become your weekend uniform. If it sounds absolutely magical, it's because it sooo is.
