February in Nashville has a way of making everything feel a little more intentional. It’s a month built for romantic dinners, long conversations, spontaneous plans, and celebrating the people you love most. Whether you’re planning a Valentine’s Day date, mapping out the ultimate Galentine’s itinerary, or simply looking for a reason to try something new around the city, Music City delivers. From fresh flowers and creative classes to memorable dining experiences and cozy nights out, February is full of moments worth savoring. Here are a few of our favorite ways to celebrate the season and make the most of the month ahead.
When in Doubt, Buy the Flowers
At The Erin Krueger Team, we know flowers. More than that, we know the feeling you get when you receive them. It is that small pause, the smile, the sense that someone thought of you. We see that same reaction when we stage a home or host an event. Fresh flowers instantly make a space feel warmer, more welcoming, and a little more special, which is why they are such a natural choice for Valentine’s Day.
Below are some of our favorite Nashville florists we turn to often. They are consistent, thoughtful, and always deliver beautiful results. Consider this a reliable guide for anyone who wants to get it right, especially the florally challenged husbands out there fighting for their lives during the season of love.
FLWR Shop-
Founded in 2016, FLWR Shop has been a beloved part of the Nashville community from the very beginning. What started as a flower and plant shop on the lower level of a family home quickly grew into one of Nashville’s go-to florists, known for thoughtful arrangements and reliable delivery across the city. With early recognition from Nashville Scene as both Best New Flower Shop and later Best Flower Shop in Nashville, FLWR Shop remains a favorite for good reason.

The Perfect Galentine’s Day Itinerary in Nashville
1. Start with a workout class
Kick off the day with a workout you actually enjoy. A group class is the perfect way to get moving, feel good, and start the day on a high note. Plus, nothing bonds friends faster than surviving a workout together. EKT recommends the FORMAT FITNESS, A pilates studio in Franklin, TN, that is great for a group session with all your people!
2. Coffee date
Post-workout coffee is non-negotiable. Grab lattes, sit longer than planned, and catch up properly. This is where the day really begins. Some of our go to’s include The ONYX + ALABASTER Coffee Lounge, and Southerner’s Coffee. The ONYX + ALABASTER Coffee Lounge is more than a coffee shop, it’s a design-experience that will have you stuck in there for hours soaking in great conversation and a beautifully curated ambiance. Southerner’s Coffee is the go to if you need the perfect coffee stat, they also offer catering services if you are looking to plan a Galentine’s Day soiree at home. We know from experience that they are a huge hit and consistently provide an amazing experience that will have guests talking for years to come!
3. Walk in the park
Take the conversation outside. A walk through the park is the perfect reset and a chance to enjoy the day without a reservation or schedule. You can’t go wrong with a trail walk at Radnor Lake State Park, or even a stroll with a side of window shopping in downtown Franklin.
4. Lunch date
Pick a lunch spot you love and make it a real moment. Share plates, order something fun, and don’t rush. Galentine’s lunch should feel relaxed and indulgent. Some great local picks that we enjoy frequently include Franklin Mercantile if you are looking to partake in a cozy soup and sandwich moment in downtown Franklin, and Two Hands, a unique and fresh Australian dining experience that emphasizes their conscious approach to health and lifestyle with the preparation of every dish, with locations in both Franklin and the Gulch.
5. Get creative with a class
Sign up for something hands-on, and bonus points if you’ve never tried it before. If it’s fun, a little out of your comfort zone, and gives you a good story to tell later, it’s probably a great idea. Ceramic studios have quietly taken over Nashville in 2025, and honestly, we’re here for it. With more than ten studios sprinkled across Davidson County, skipping this trend would almost feel irresponsible. Whether you leave with a perfectly glazed bowl or a very abstract “vase,” a pottery class is a creative detour worth taking. We recommend Slip Ceramics, they curate an experience that allows you to slow down, get your hands dirty, and make something worth keeping. Perfect for any skill level, their private events are all about good company, creative fun, and a little clay magic to take home.
6. Get dressed up for a fancy dinner
Go all in. Change outfits, do your makeup together, and head somewhere that feels special. This is the moment to dress up, toast to friendship, and order dessert. A no-brainer for the perfect Galentine’s Day dinner spot is Pastis, where you get to step into a scene straight from Paris and romance lingers in every detail. The ambiance channels classic French charm that highlights the celebratory nature of Galentine’s Day. It’s the perfect place for lingering over another glass of wine with all of your dates.

7. End with a nightcap
Whether it is a cozy bar or someone’s living room, this is where the best conversations usually happen. You’re already all dressed up, so why not head to Harriet’s Rooftop Bar at the 1 Hotel. Sip bespoke, regionally inspired cocktails and enjoy light bites, entertainment, and curated tableside experiences, all crafted with the finest seasonal ingredients. Harriet’s offers guests exclusive views of Music City’s skyline in an elevated nightlife setting, it’s a great place to take a few photos with your friends and soak in the final moments. If you want to take things literally, you can also head to The Valentine Rooftop Bar located in the heart of Broadway. They offer that classic Nashville nightlife experience that always proves to be an exciting way to end the night right!
At the end of the day, it’s not about what you do, it’s about who you share it with! Wishing you all a wonderful February!
