Jan 19, 2021

While intimate restaurant dining and getaway travel may not be an option this Valentine's Day, it's important to remember there are #NoLimitsOnLove. With some advance planning, it's easy to create a memorable and romantic weekend celebration right at home.

The 1-800-FLOWERS.COM, Inc. family of brands, including 1-800-Flowers.com®, Harry & David®, Wolferman's Bakery®, PersonalizationMall.com®, Shari's Berries® and Simply Chocolate® have introduced a heartfelt selection of offerings to help inspire three memorable days of romance.

Borrowing from her own Valentine's Day plans, Sierra Castellano, Director of Merchandising at Harry & David, has provided her unique take on how sweethearts can celebrate love all weekend long. 'Honestly, the real key here is to plan ahead,' she says. 'Think about the little moments that would surprise and delight your significant other. Focus on things you can do together. Then, don't wait to put your plan in motion. Ensure a stress-free experience by ordering early to get the best selection and make sure everything you need arrives on time.'

Here are some of Sierra's top tips and ideas for planning the perfect weekend of romance at home - and ensuring there are #NoLimitsOnLove this Valentine's Day.

Friday

Set the Mood with Dreamy Décor: Create the perfect ambiance with items that double as both décor and gifts. An exclusive one-of-a-kind bouquet, designed by a talented local florist, or Magnificent Roses® Preserved Roses can be a thoughtful surprise and also be admired as a stunning centerpiece. Custom photo shelf blocks and personalized pocket pillows can enhance the space and be cherished well beyond the holiday.

Create a Delectable Dessert Grazing Board: Grab the chocolate, favorite candy, and more to create an Instagram-worthy platter. Use an engraved cutting board as the base and then ensure there is a mix of colors and textures by adding an assortment of gourmet dipped strawberries, decadent chocolates, elegant petit fours, and a customized variety of sweet and sour candies.

Watch a Romantic Flick and Chill: When ordering Valentine's Day florals at 1-800-Flowers.com, be sure to click the add-on feature to select a digital film from a curated list of notable Love & Romance-themed movies from Universal Pictures Home Entertainment. Titles such as Fifty Shades of Grey, Yesterday and Forgetting Sarah Marshall can be streamed on any screen and set the stage for a fun night ahead. All that's needed now is a luxuriously soft blanket and some flavorful popcorn - the ultimate movie combination.

Saturday

Put Down the Digital Devices: Spend some time going through old family photographs to create a personalized photo tree. Or, plan an old-fashioned game night complete with a couple of rounds of Yahtzee®, the jumbling tower game, or tic-tac-toe

Arrange an Intimate Dinner for Two: Don't make it complicated. Plan a menu that requires minimal effort by selecting an elegant and classicfully prepared gourmet meal. To complement the meal, choose from a variety of one-of-a-kind side dishes and spectacular desserts.

Sunday - Valentine's Day!

Cozy Up with Breakfast in Bed: For the perfect start to the perfect day, indulge in a sumptuous Valentine's Day brunch. Start off with a classic Bloody Mary cocktail and then design your own spread from a selection of super-thick English muffins, cinnamon rolls, quiche, coffee cake, or country link sausages. A personalized serving tray is an ideal way to serve up this very special savory and sweet meal.

'While choices of where to celebrate the holiday may be limited this year, there are definitely no limits on love,' says Sierra. 'The options for creating an unforgettable romantic Valentine's Day weekend in the comfort of home are as endless as your imagination.'
