Some Ideas

red roses and candles

A simple centerpiece could be a glass bowl, filled with cracked ice crystals, with some red and pink candles floating on the top.
If you don't quite like the idea of floating candles, you can use a red-colored pillar candle with decorations around the centerpiece.
Arrange a vase with fresh red roses, and a note reading 'my love' or 'sweetheart'.

Arrange a short vase full of different types of flowers covering the vase completely, and two pillar candles placed in the center of the flowers.
Use a heart-shaped basket as a base. Put some florist's foam in the basket and top with fresh red roses along with some flowers of contrasting colors.
A simple and inexpensive idea that you can use is to take a few bottles, fill each of them up with a single-stem rose, and place them in a square or circle at the center of the table.

red roses, candles, and ribbons

Get 2 glass vases, one small one and another bigger one. Place the roses in the smaller vase, then place that vase in the bigger transparent vase, and in between the two, you can put anything like candies and petals to give it a unique appearance.
If you don't have time, as a last-minute option, you can make a centerpiece with candies. Just take an attractive bowl, fill with candies, and top with a lovely note!
Another good idea would be red and pink roses joined in the shape of a heart, and set in the middle of the table.
