In 'The Hobbit', the elves are described as a fun-loving people. While the dwarves approach Rivendell, the elves sing taunting songs at them, but Tolkien also mentions several times that they are very wise. Elrond is described as 'as kind as summer', among other things. So I would think that the elves do not take things too seriously, value kindness, but also wisdom, and some (the Elvenking of Mirkwood, for example) value their privacy and secrecy. Craftsmanship also seems important, as does music. The Elvenking also seemed very proud.
In 'The Lord of the Rings', the descriptions of the elves make them seem far more 'serious', with less of the merrymaking described in 'The Hobbit'.
