Halloween Decorations are Not Just for Kids Anymore
Are you hosting a Halloween party and want to stray away from decorations that can also be found in an elementary school classroom? Don’t limit your Halloween decorations to quirky pumpkin faces and green goblins. Expand your style with an all back table setting, lit taper candles, and blood red accents. Here are 5 trendy Halloween party décor ideas that will have your guests screaming for more.
Fall Floral
Flower arrangements are a must for any type of gathering, even a Halloween party. Make a bouquet of dark red or purple flowers, like black dahlias, roses, and hydrangeas. Mix it in with a few green eucalyptus leaves and white chamomile flowers or white roses for a bit of contrast and innocence.
Candlelight
A bright overhead light is not so spooky. Tea light candles and taper candles will do the trick! If you have dimmers, keep the lights low and the candles burning.
Sophisticated and Decadent Desserts
Skip the cupcakes with the orange frosting and the bowl of candy corn. Serve rich chocolate desserts at your Halloween party, like a dark chocolate cake or chocolate fondue.
Black & White Decor
Think beyond the typical Halloween orange. Black and white decor is classic, but also mysterious. Paint your pumpkins black or white and add metallic accents for a touch of glamour.
Festive Bar Cart
Don’t forget to decorate your bar cart! A skeleton head, eyeballs, spiders, and spiderwebs are awesomely terrifying additions to your bar cart. Include Halloween inspired cocktails, like Dracula’s Blood made out of black cherry juice, Grenadine, and white rum or Witch’s Brew that consists of gin and Blue Curacao.
