Easy Styling Tips for Your Valentines Day Bar Cart

Are you a fan of Valentines Day bar cart decorating? Decorating my cart is one of my most favorite things to decorate for just about any holiday. It’s the prefect canvas for everyday styling and entertaining with endless embellishments.

If you don’t yet have a bar cart, may I encourage you to make the investment? It will make your life so much easier when you have guests over. It will be your new “BFF” and add an extra “pair of hands” for your food, drinks, and decorations.

Valentine’s Day Bar Cart Sweet Treats

While we’re mindful of cutting back on sweets in the new year, Valentine’s Day offers a chance to indulge. I enjoy featuring a delightful cookie platter on our bar cart for loved ones.

You can bake homemade goodies using our favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe, or opt for a delicious store-bought option.

For this Valentine’s Day, I chose the Specially Selected Continental Cookie Assortment, found at Aldi, for an elegant touch to our treats.

Embellish Your Bar Cart with Pink Décor

Valentine’s Day is ideal for vibrant pink décor! You can decorate your bar cart with faux or real pink flowers, plates, cups, vases, and candle votives for a festive touch.

My love for peony flowers led me to discover stunning bouquets on Amazon. These faux peonies were the perfect addition to our Valentine’s Day bar cart, infusing it with texture, color, and a lively ambiance, albeit faux—still so pretty!

Add Dessert Plates, Wine Glasses, or Coffee Mugs

Your Valentine’s Day bar cart can shine with your favorite dessert plates, wine glasses, and/or coffee mugs, tailored to your guest-serving style, offering both functionality and added elegance.

I raided my kitchen cabinets, opting for white everyday dessert plates and clear coffee mugs for this setup. The salad plates were a Marketplace find, while the coffee mugs were a found at Dollar Tree—one of my favorite go-to stores for affordable, stylish entertaining pieces.

Despite their cost, Dollar Tree often holds hidden treasures that can become the “secret ingredient” to your entertaining decorations.

Valentine’s Day Bar Cart Décor Ideas-

Decorate with Ribbon

Enhancing your bar cart with a delicate satin ribbon offers a sweet and simple DIY Valentine’s Day décor touch. Small details make a big impact in design.

I adorned my white ginger jar (a Homegoods discovery) with a pink ribbon, elevating the Valentine’s Day feel on the bar cart. What do you think?

You can use ribbons creatively—around vases, candlestick holders, wine glass stems, coffee mug handles, and beyond. Feel free to unleash your creativity! 💕

Add Festive Candles and Candle Votives

With Valentine’s Day all about romance and love, why not add a romantic “feel” to your bar cart, even if the intention is not for romance? They will add the perfect touch of warmth and glow to your design.

I used two different pink votive styles on this Valentine’s Day bar cart, found again in my kitchen cabinets. Feel free to incorporate those favorite votive holders or candles that you have in your home.
