Sparkly gift—check. Box of chocolates—check. Love note—check. Now, what? Planning a Valentine’s Day date can be tricky because you want to do something romantic and sweet without being too cliché or traveling too far. So, what do you do? Where do you go? There is no need to stress because everything you need is right here. Ladies, go buy a new dress. Gentlemen, I’ll help you with the rest. Follow this Valentine’s Day date night plan, and you will see that celebrating locally is as easy as can be.
Ladies, dress to impress for your Valentine this year by shopping at O’ Town Boutique in Springville for fabulous apparel and accessories. “Here at O’ Town, we have a variety of Miss Me and Silver jeans that are to die for. We also have some darling tunic shirts and other blouses that are cute when paired with jeans or even leggings. You can also accessorize your Valentine’s date night outfit at O’ Town Boutique with our fun accessories or a colorful infinity scarf,” said owner Teresa Downing.
Gentlemen, wine and dine her for your Valentine’s date night this year by taking her out for a nice, romantic dinner at Trio’s in Trussville. Create your own pizza or calzone, have a tasty steak dinner for two, or simply order a variety of appetizers to share. For dessert, share a slice of Italian cream cake or split a brownie delight. The possibilities are endless at Trio’s.
After dinner, take your sweetheart to Sips N’ Strokes in Trussville for a delightfully creative experience. “For Valentine’s Day this year, we are going to be painting LOVE canvases. For couples, we suggest painting LOVE across two canvases for a sweet memory to hang on their wall; however, couples can also paint individual LOVE canvases. The doors will open at 6:30 p.m. on Valentine’s Day, and we will begin painting at 7 p.m. Please feel free to bring wine and other goodies to make your Valentine’s Day experience at Sips N’ Strokes unforgettable,” said owner and instructor Jennifer Boykin-Bryan.
Now, it’s time to pick up a dozen roses, and wow your lady with a night out on the town. Celebrating locally can be so easy, fun and romantic.
