The best thing about celebrating Valentine’s Day in the wake of COVID-19 is that there is no pressure to go out to a restaurant and sit in a sea of 2 top tables and feel awkward. All the best food, drink and fun (whether it’s DIY or take out) can be enjoyed from the comfort of home. That’s why we decided to make a curated V-Day faves list with a number of last minute Valentine’s Day gift ideas and rose colored epicurean delights for this stay at home holiday.

We've been working with The Black Tux for years now, and we love them…
Read MoreIt's almost Valentines Day. We're big fans of using the occasion to spread the love to those we care about. Call us cliche, but in our book, beautiful flowers are NEVER a passé gift. At the end of last year, we finished off the wedding season with a floral arranging team brunch to thank everyone for their love and effort. The talented Megan from Flourish Floral Design…
