An OIDB Valentine’s…

Looking for the perfect date night idea and don’t want to deal with overpriced food and fixed menus at an uncomfortable restaurant? We have just the tips to elevate your backyard to create the most romantic date night this Valentine’s. 

Setting the tone: 

Lighting Attracts

First things first, it’s important to create and uphold the romantic atmosphere. This is where lighting makes the biggest difference. You’re going to want to use as many dimmed lights and candles to create the overall aura outside. Use the lights around the pathway in your backyard that will lead to the ultimate focal point of the evening…

Movie Night Session

For the cooler nights, it’s best to get that fire pit going and bring out as many pillows and blankets for proper warmth. Create that cozy effect by adding more candles in this area, using proper & sturdy serving trays for drinks and snacks. For those with sitting walls or pergolas, make your own DIY movie night by hanging a sheet and breaking out that old projector to roll your favorite at-home movie night. Don’t have a standing structure like this? Place the projector up against the house for a similar effect. Place everything neatly around the fire and pop the champagne when your partner arrives!

For our pool owners: Use the space there by creating floating candles or floating light globes on the water’s surface. Dress it up even more by adding flower petals to float around the candles to create a romantic holiday theme. Take advantage of your color-changing LED by In-Lite’s SMART technology and choose a night pink hue to fit the holiday theme!
