Valentine’s Day is fast approaching, so why not make it a special occasion for everyone?

With Christmas been and gone, it’s nice to have something to look forward to and to brighten up those dull February days.

Valentine’s Day was originally a Christian feast day to honor the martyr named Valentine, and through later folk traditions, it has also become a significant cultural, religious, and commercial celebration of romance and love in many regions of the world.

Why not try making a Valentine’s door wreath or some table decorations? Easy to do and makes a lovely addition to any door or table. You can go for simple charm or go all out with flowers, hearts, ribbons, and anything else you want to add.

If you don’t fancy making your own or don’t have the time, there are some fantastic wreaths available online.

Check out this beautiful but simple heart wreath from ‘ForeverChristmasArt’ on Etsy. Such pretty colours and is suitable to use all year round.
