This is what greeted people as they entered the church. Of course, everything looked better with the lamps and candles lit, instead of overhead lighting, but you get the idea! :)


We created a small seating area with the pastors' chairs. I stole almost everything here from my living room. Someone brought fresh flowers too.
I made three of these with Scripture passages on love in French. I got them the font and size I wanted, saved them as JPEG files, then used this website to give them an aged feel. At the end I tore the edges. Super simple project! You KNOW I had to get some toile in there somewhere! :)

The Dollar Tree had these wooden ovals. I painted each one with a few coats of chalkboard paint and placed them around the room with French words and phrases.
Our candy dishes were small terra cotta pots painted with chalkboard paint. I spent about $30 for everything - I was very happy with how things turned out on a shoestring budget! :)
And I know I should have a picture with hubby for Valentines, but it is on someone else's camera! So for now, I get to show off my cute middle sis. We had fun sitting together at the banquet!
See you tomorrow for the GIVEAWAY!
