Looking for valentines centerpieces with a little something extra? Think pink tulips, candy-filled jars and candles surrounded by tiny hearts.
These ideas range from a simple vase of red roses to bigger displays with bows, balloons and even teddy bears.

You can keep things simple or go all out. I especially love the pastel candy hearts beside pink flowers.
Valentine’s centerpiece ideas worth saving
conversation hearts on a tray
I am obsessed with these oversized conversation hearts. The red polka-dot heart looks so cute behind the smaller pink and cream ones.
Try surrounding your signs with openwork hearts and little decorative balls in matching colors. A long dark tray keeps everything together.
pink tulips and pastel candy
This tulip arrangement may just be one of my favorites here. I love the pink blooms above that vase full of pastel candy hearts.
The curled green leaves are such a pretty detail.

If you’re using fresh flowers for your version, keep their water in a separate inner container so the candy stays dry.
a bowl full of little hearts
If you are looking for a display with lots of little details, then this one is for you. There are red flower-covered hearts, fluffy red and white balls and pale cutout decorations.
The checked heart with little buttons is my favorite part. Try leaning a small Valentine’s sign among your decorations rather than standing everything upright.
bows and patterned tapers
How cute are these candles? The little bows and hearts look so pretty across the pink, cream and burgundy tapers.
I love the mix of clear, pink and amber-colored holders too. You could use patterned tapers as an unlit display like this, with a couple of dark red bows around the holders.
polka-dot folds and red trim
Don’t want flowers and want something a little different? This folded black-and-white arrangement gives you plenty of pattern, with red edges and tiny red accents around the center.
The white cutout candle holder keeps the middle simple. I’d use a flameless light inside for this version.
white jars and glitter hearts
These matching white jars are just too cute. The red and white flowers sit beneath glittery heart picks, with big red bows hanging down the fronts.
Don’t forget the little checked trim if you want the same mix of patterns. Group your jars on a long handled tray to follow this arrangement.
a candy-filled vase in progress
Here’s a closer look at a candy-heart vase coming together. A smaller jar sits inside the larger clear container, with pastel hearts filling the gap around it.
You could finish your own version with flowers in the inner jar. I’d choose pale pink blooms to go with those little lavender and yellow hearts.
candy jars on a cake stand
Who says your cake stand has to hold cake? These lidded jars are filled with pastel hearts, red candy and wrapped sweets.

I love the red polka-dot ribbon threaded around the white stand. Keep the shorter jar in front so you can see the taller ones behind it.
hearts around glowing candles
I am obsessed with this little ring of flowers and hearts. Pink roses, red berries and cream heart picks surround three glowing candles in clear cylinders.
The tiny string lights are a lovely extra touch. Choose flameless candles if you’re trying a similarly full arrangement around the bases.
red blooms in little black boxes
If you’re looking for a smaller flower display, go with an arrangement like one of these. The red blooms look gorgeous above the black round boxes, with dusty pink petals and pale sprigs tucked around them.
You could spread a matching trio down your table rather than placing one large bouquet in the middle.
teddy bears and bubble balloons
OMG, how adorable are these teddy bear displays? The clear balloons hold smaller pink, cream and burgundy balloons, with bows running down to the round boxes below.
The sweets make them feel like gifts as well as decorations. I’d save a tall display like this for a dessert table where it won’t sit between dinner guests.
a dusty pink rose and pale sprigs
Don’t want to go overboard with bright red? No problem!
This little bottle arrangement pairs a dusty pink rose with cream plumes and fine pink branches.

I love the loose bow around the neck. There’s no need to add hearts if you prefer this quieter look.
a lantern with oversized bows
The ribbon fans are going to love this! Black-and-white stripes sit beside white ribbon covered in red hearts, with long tails falling down the lantern.
The red and white flowers at the top are so pretty. I’d keep the candle inside flameless so the hanging decorations stay away from an open flame.
a tiny village beneath heart branches
There is so much to love on this tray. The little red houses and folded pink and burgundy trees sit below a white vase filled with flowers and light-covered branches.
Those hanging hearts are my favorite detail. Try a few red, pink and cream ornaments on bare branches if you want to borrow just that part.

roses beneath upside-down glasses
This is such a pretty way to show off individual roses. Each upside-down stemmed glass covers a red bloom, with a white candle resting on its base.
The square mirror reflects the flowers below. For your own version, use battery-operated candles rather than burning candles on drinking glasses.
mixed glasses on a round mirror
This is a similar rose-and-candle idea to the one above, but the shapes are a little different. A tall straight glass joins the inverted stemmed glasses on a round mirror.
I love the large red rose beneath the widest glass. Borrow the mixed heights for your own flameless candle display.
pink blooms and a sparkling heart
If you love pink flowers, this arrangement might be your favorite. The big cupped blooms look gorgeous beside cream flowers, white berry-like accents and green leaves.
The sparkling pink heart peeking out at the back is just enough extra decoration. I’d leave the front all about those flowers.
a red-and-white statement candle
Last but definitely not least, we have this red-and-white pillar candle. I love the curved sweep of red across the top and the cloudy pink patches near the bottom.
The tall red vase beside it keeps the colors simple. You could group a similar unlit candle and vase on a small tray for your table.
