5 Things You Need For A Gruesomely Elegant Halloween

Set The Mood This Halloween

Halloween isn’t just for children anymore. Breathe life into an otherwise dead party with style and elegance by using dark and rich colors. To emphasize a bit of glamour, use moody colors like smoke and charcoal gray, burgundy red and rich black tones. Not only will these tones compliment each other, but they will also create a sultry atmosphere.

1. Textured Linens

Satisfy appetites by serving your guests to a delightful splendor among a rich spread. Cover your dining tables with delicate linens to create the perfect backdrop for delicious entrees. Layer shades of darker tones for your dinnerware to create texture.

 

2. Dark, Rich and Luxurious

Floral arrangements will always transform a bland room into a sultry retreat. Mix dramatic petals to create the ultimate centerpiece for your table. However, don’t be afraid to use a little pop of color for a dramatic effect.

 

3. Wicked Decor

To help you in your sophistication, we have curated a few tasteful ghoulish pieces to scatter throughout your party. Although Halloween is known for morbid characters, your guests will scream with delight over the smallest of details. A successful night must have pumpkins and skulls. Rather than have a few boring jack-o-lanterns and gimmicky cadavers, wistfully animate your decor.

 

4. Red Wine

To emphasize an authentic look, use re-purposed wine bottles as candlestick holders to complete your space. In addition to creating a soft glow, guests will be treated to a unique candlelight dinner.
