Today’s the day to celebrate love and what better way than with a Valentine’s tree.

Yes, really!

The trend first came to our attention at the start of the year when it was time to pack up the Christmas decorations.

Even the Loose Women were getting in on the act this week, with Stacey Solomon and Nadia Sawalha laughing as they decorated a small red tree with pink and red love hearts on the pre-Valentine’s show that aired on February 13.

Instagram users have, of course, hopped on the hot new trend, which sees Christmas trees being lovingly redecorated for Valentine’s Day.

After all, what’s not to love about combining what are arguably two of the best celebrations of the year?

The trend has seen users taking off their Christmas baubles and replacing them with decorations of a more romantic nature in the run up to February 14.

I wish I could keep my tree up and do this but don’t think that would go well with my husband.

Tree decorations tend to be pink or red and feature XOXO baubles as well as love hearts and roses.

One fan of the Valentine’s tree trend said: “Oh my gosh! This is amazing! I wish I could keep my tree up and do this but don’t think that would go well with my husband.”

Others said their tree wasn’t just for Christmas or Valentine’s Day, they were planning on keeping it up all year round.

“I have a pencil tree and it stays up for all of the holidays. It’s fun to find things to decorate it for Easter, St Patrick’s, 4th of July and Haloween,” they said.
