The sweetest Valentine’s Day bar cart, stocked and ready for your next Galentine’s party or romantic date night in.
It’s time for another bar cart post! And this time I’m decking out my bar cart in all things Valentine’s Day! Lots of pink and red accessories, chocolate, and of course some champagne and rosé.
As many of you already know, I love changing up my bar cart decor throughout the changing seasons. However, this is the first time I’ve decorated my bar cart for Valentine’s Day, and I think it turned out pretty sweet. If you’re looking for some Valentine’s Day bar cart inspo then keep reading for all the details on how I styled mine.
Bar Cart Essentials
First, you will need to make sure your bar cart is stocked with the essentials:
- Cocktail-making tools (I have a great cocktail tool kit from Target)
- Cocktail Shaker
- Ice bucket
- Pitcher
- Glasses- These beaded cocktail glasses are so cute! I also love these coupe cocktail glasses by CB2.
- Decanter- we store our whiskey in this beautiful, personalized whiskey decanter. You can purchase your own personalized whiskey decanter on Etsy. It makes a great gift too!
- Booze (seasonal of course)
- Personal touches/holiday decor
I would highly recommend this bar cart I purchased from Overstock. It’s both beautiful and functional! Now that you have the basics, scroll down for some Valentine’s Day-inspired bar cart decor!
Inspo
Valentine’s Day Prints
Free art prints are a great way to decorate! Search google and Pinterest for free Valentine’s Day printables and print right at home. Insert them into a picture frame and display them on your bar cart. You can even make your own by using sites such as Canva or apps like Procreate. Here are two free printables (love the wine you’re with and hearts) that I made myself! Feel free to print and use them for your own bar cart!
Roses
Roses symbolize love which is the whole purpose of celebrating Valentine’s Day right? Grab some fresh roses from your local store or order a bouquet of faux roses from Amazon. Display them in a vase on your bar cart.
Valentine’s Day Tea Towels
I love decorating with tea towels! Hang them from your bar cart to add a festive touch. Marshalls, TJMAXX, and Homegoods always have tons of fun and cheap tea towels.
Valentine’s Day Napkins
Every bar cart needs some cocktail napkins! Switch up your usual bar cart napkins for a fun Valentine’s theme. You can find these pretty much anywhere (Amazon, Target, Marshalls, etc).
Drink Stirrers
I love these drink stirrers I got from Target. If you’re having a Galentine’s day party, these would be so cute to add to your cocktail glasses for a pop of color.
Holiday Garland
Whether it’s a DIY paper garland, a string of fairy lights, or a pre-made strand from your local store, holiday garland definitely adds a lot of pizzazz. Hobby Lobby has tons of great options, though I got mine at Trader Joe’s. What’s cool about the Trader Joe’s garland is that it is made from wool so you can sprinkle your garland with essential oils making your home smell sweet.
Candles
Set the mood for a romantic and sweet Valentine’s Day by adding some candles to your bar cart. Think floral or sweet-smelling candles for this occasion.
chocolate
What would Valentine’s Day be without some chocolate? Don’t forget to put out a candy jar and fill it with your favorite Valentine’s Day chocolate! I love the Dove hearts! I also put out a small bowl of candy hearts because they are so cute and such a classic Valentine’s Day treat.
Valentine’s Day-Themed Libations
And last, but not least, probably most important of all… your holiday-themed libations. You can choose to stock it with your most loved cocktail mixers! For a Valentine’s theme, I would choose champagne and rosé as well as some chocolate liquor.
And that’s how you decorate your bar cart for Valentine’s Day! I hope this post has inspired you to decorate your own bar cart for the holiday so you’re ready for your next party.
