What is a Valentine’s Day Tree?

I think it probably all started when people didn’t want to take down their Christmas trees, so they decided to swap out some of the green for pink and, voila. Valentine’s Day trees were born.

A Valentines Day tree is basically a white tree, pink tree, or even the same tree you used during the christmas season, dressed up with romantic heart themed decor instead of classic christmas decorations.

You might see it called a valentine’s day christmas tree online, but it is really just a playful spin on your regular holiday tree that trades snowflakes and icicles for flowers, hearts, and sweet little love notes.

You can keep things simple with white ribbon and a few separate pieces like heart garland and cute additions from places like hobby lobby or the dollar store, or you can go full main character with feather boas, giant hearts, and layered textures from top to bottom.

How do I decorate a Valentines Day tree step by step?

Here is an easy way to decorate a Valentines Day tree so it feels intentional, cozy, and totally doable as a diy project.

Start by pulling out the tree you already own, whether it is a classic green style or a smaller tree you normally use as an easter tree or for different holidays.
Fluff the branches, plug in your existing string lights, and decide what you want to reuse from christmas sales instead of buying more.
Lay down a cozy blanket or base around the stand so dropped glitter and faux petals do not get everywhere while you decorate.
Group your christmas ornaments and heart themed decor by color so choosing what goes where feels easier and less chaotic.
Add bigger statement pieces first thing, like your most festive decorations and any larger hearts or signs, so you do not run out of room at eye level.
Layer in smaller accents like a single red heart on each main branch, salt dough heart ornaments the kids painted, or mini trees at the base for extra height and dimension.
Step back and edit, taking away anything that feels crowded and tucking any bare spots behind fuller branches for a better way to keep the tree looking polished.
Finish by adding a simple topper, tucking gifts or baskets underneath, and doing a quick sweep and wipe with paper towels so setup and cleanup stay low stress.

What colors work best for this look?
You can keep your valentine decor classic with red and white or try a blush and hot-pink mix that feels sweet without looking like a kid’s room. Metallics like gold or rose gold look gorgeous mixed with heart shapes, and soft neutrals help all the bright colors calm down a bit. The goal is to repeat the same shades across the tree and the room so your eye follows the color story instead of bouncing around.

Quick Styling Tips:

Use a pair of scissors to cut ribbon tails and trims so they sit better on the branches and do not fray.
Grab a few budget friendly fillers from dollar tree, then mix them with pieces you already own so the tree looks curated instead of matchy-matchy.
Make the whole thing a fun craft night by letting everyone help with simple painted hearts, tags, or salt dough shapes while you handle the breakable decor.
Snap photos as you go and save them with your affiliate links or shopping list so re-creating the same vibe later is as easy as following your own mood board.

Valentine’s Day Tree FAQs:

Yes, that is exactly what most people do, and it is an easy way to stretch your decorating budget. Take off anything super specific to Christmas, like Santa ornaments or stockings, then keep the neutral pieces that still work for February. Add hearts, flowers, and a few cozy touches, and your tree instantly reads as Valentine themed instead of Christmas.

Anything that says “love” when you look at it. Think hearts in all sizes, ribbon in reds and pinks, faux flowers, tiny framed photos, candy style ornaments, and soft textures like boas or fabric garlands. You can also reuse plain gold or white ornaments as filler so you are not starting from zero with brand new decor.

Start by shopping your house. Pull out leftover ribbon, plain ornaments, and any heart themed items you already own. Then check budget friendly spots for a few statement pieces instead of buying every single thing new. Simple DIY touches like paper hearts, printable tags, or salt dough ornaments can fill in the gaps without costing more than a couple of dollars and a little time.

There are no rules here. Most people flip their tree from Christmas to Valentine mode sometime in January and leave it up through mid or late February. If the soft lights and pretty colors make the space feel cozy, you can absolutely keep it up longer and treat it as a seasonal accent instead of a one week holiday moment.
