I love the holidays and all the decorating and parties but I'm always a little bit exhausted by the time New Year's is over. I feel like I need to relax a little, eat some chocolate and maybe get a massage.

Even though I am ready for life to get back into a routine I still enjoy having a few simple Valentine's Day decorations. One area that I like to decorate with my Valentine's Day decor is my entryway. I love to change out my entry table with fun seasonal decor and Valentine's Day is no exception. A great way to add in some decorations is to use a tier tray.

Take a look at my adorable and fun Valentine's Day decor.

Valentine's Day Decor for My Entryway

Focal Point-Wreath

A great idea to start decorating is to come up with the focal point for the space. My first design was to assemble some sort of focal point around my entryway table. I used my XOXO wooden cutout and attached it to my wreath for the perfect eye-catching focus.

I just used twine to tie on the cutout so I can remove it easily. I love the way the blush pink pops against the green foliage.

Chicken Wire Frame and Garlands

An easy way to bring in some fun color is by layering items. Before I added my wreath to the chicken wire frame, I added some simple garlands. These bring in pops of color and texture to the frame without looking cluttered and overwhelming.

I try to keep my decorations clean and minimal, because nothing drives me more crazy than having what I like to call "decor clutter".

After hanging my garlands, I added my green wreath to the wire and this makes the perfect focal point for my Valentine's Day Decoration.

Valentine's Tiered Tray

A fun way to add in some color and more themed décor is by filling a stacked tray. Placing decorations in a tiered tray keeps them contained and therefore looks less cluttered.

How to Create a Tiered Tray for Holiday Decorating

Step 1- Pick up a stacked tray if you don't already have one. 

Not only can these be used for home decor, but you can also use these for serving food dishes at parties. A great multi-use item! There are so many options for trays. Mine is metal but a wooden tray would be great too!

Step 2- Add Fillers

• Candles are a great filler item. (View some here) Place them on the different levels of your tray. If your candles sit too low you can stack them on top of something. (fun state candles here too)

• Flowers are essential on tiered trays since they create added texture and can bring in lots of color. You can use artificial or real flowers and achieve the same look. (favorite florals here)
• Glass jars filled with candy. I found these pink and red heart candies at the dollar store last year... yup, they stay good for awhile! Dollar stores will also usually have containers or mason jars you can grab for super cheap. I find that it is always worth it to at least check there first because you can find some good deals. (some other fun glass jars here)
• Figurines and other items. I added the Willow tree "I love you" doll, a house vase from the Hearth and Hand collection and a strand of wooden beads to the top tier. Layering items like these figurines and other pieces of different heights will create more dimension in the display.

• Step 3- Finish up with Greenery

  Greenery will fill in the empty spaces and give a more complete look to your stacked tray. Also be sure to use greenery of different shades. You can see I have some dark green and sage green in this display. By adding in different green hues there is more variety and texture. Greenery also helps the tray look full without being too busy or cluttered. (view my favorite greenery here)

  The end result will be a beautiful themed tiered tray set.

Balance Your Table -

Once you've completed your valentine tiered tray, make sure to add in some kind of Valentine's Day decor on the other side of the table to balance the entire display. I kept mine simple and added a white vase with flowers and greenery. Another fun idea would be to add little signs or other cute farmhouse decor. I love how this Valentine's Day decor turned out. It is fun and colorful without being cluttered. I kept it fresh and simple by using greenery with pops of color with flowers and garlands.

Happy Decorating!!
