Love in Bloom

Valentine’s Day is a beloved holiday for us both. So, this year we decided to share that love by hosting a lovely, French-inspired soiree. The theme was ‘Amour en Fleur’ (or ‘Love in Bloom’). From the charming atmosphere to the equally delightful company, love and happiness was most definitely in bloom.

The beauty of the dinner table seemed to create a French garden feel as we engaged in friendly conversation over a dinner of roasted cauliflower soup, sauteed Swiss chard and heirloom tomato salad, herbed fingerling potatoes, and honey-glazed chicken. For dessert, no one could resist the chocolate melting cake topped with almond whipped cream and fresh raspberries, accompanied by chocolate-mint herbal tea.

There were valentine bags at each of the guests’ seats, and we asked that everyone bring special valentines to share. The creativity was remarkable, and it was such a treat to have a darling envelope of goodies to take home.

From our hearts to yours, we wish you Amour en Fleur this Valentine’s Day!
