I've Found Chic Valentine's Day Tableware Hiding in the Pottery Barn Clearance Sale – Shop the Look of Love for Less
Why wait to buy Valentine's Day-themed tableware when you can pick it up for less right now?
I'm all for a cozy Valentine's Day meal and some playful decor, but I don't love forking out for novelty pieces that I'll only use once a year. Fortunately, I'm always on the hunt for a deal – and I've found a selection of chic Valentine's pieces hiding in Pottery Barn's tabletop clearance sale, that you'll actually want to use all year.
There's certainly a place for fun, themed tableware, but generally I prefer to seek out more versatile pieces that won't take up unnecessary space in my hosting closet. To me, the perfect Valentine's Day tablescape combines the fun, whimsical feel of the day with a more sophisticated design edge – and this year, Pottery Barn has nailed the brief. You'll find everything from heart place card holders to heart serving platters, all at unbeatable prices right now.
I think every host needs a sleek set like the Monique Lhullier Arles dinnerware collection, and it's always helpful to invest while it's discounted. When it comes to thoughtful Valentine's Day pieces, however, the sale is full of gems; you just need to know where to look.
As soon as I spotted the LoveShackFancy embroidered bow table runner, I knew my dream Valentine's table settings were about to come to life. Add a few pink Arlo coupe glasses (which are currently just $2.97 each), and I'll be fully stocked with Valentine's-themed tableware. I have a feeling that these rose-hued pieces will work just as beautifully for my spring tablescapes, so it's definitely worth bagging these Pottery Barn pieces while they're on sale.

Place card holders are the perfect finishing touch to any tablescape – no matter whether you're planning a lavish meal or you're taking a more laid-back approach. I love the sculptural, contemporary look of these bronze hearts.
I'm taking inspiration from Joanna Gaines' layered spring tablescape and pairing this gorgeous runner with Pottery Barn's floral printed tablecloth. The ditsy print and lace trim offers an elegant twist on the country grandmother-inspired tableware trend.
No Valentine's Day scheme is complete without a few love hearts, and this oval platter is a wonderful way to incorporate traditional motifs without leaning too far into kitsch. The red trim feels delicate and refined.
This vinyl placemat brings '70s boho style to mind – and it's ideal for a whimsical Valentine's Day look. I'd style it with frayed pink linen napkins and gold flatware for a luxe, retro feel.
I love to scour vintage stores for colored glassware – I think it's one of the easiest ways to perfect your home bar setup – but these pink coupes have stopped me in my tracks. At just $2.97 each, how can I resist?
I clearly have a lot of admiration for LoveShackFancy's table runners, but they're simply too gorgeous to miss out on. I'd pair this one with my favorite pieces from Anthropologie's bow tableware collection.
