Life of the Party
Every affair has that one fun and magnetically attractive personality you simply can’t take your eyes from. The endlessly entertaining character guests find themselves returning to again and again. Extend a hand, and get to know our Witch Tabletop Server. Hardly any toil and trouble, at all, she nearly creates a complete focal point all by herself. A thrillingly detailed, instant belle of the ball. Hat brim (how wicked?) and two more trays allow friends to swoop in for a bite or glass of spirits. But here is where it really goes over the top: a separate, but coordinating, table topper functions as her gown! Candles, tableware, and vessels of sweet treats make an appearance and, alakazam, just like magic, a spook-alicious centerpiece.
Hint: No need to be frightened… you can create a similarly bewitching focal point with your existing pieces and items from around the house. Embellish a plain black tablecloth with a piece of patterned black-and-white fabric or inexpensive paper placemats. Then, build a towering stack of old books and top with a witch’s hat or giant spider. Get crafty!
Wow. What a picture of spellbinding style and amazement. A plain, everyday wall, dressed up especially for Halloween, in a bold, black-and-white chevron pattern, courtesy of graphically gorgeous, removable peel-and-stick wallpaper you can easily snatch off the Web. But that’s just the backdrop. An artful array of handcrafted picture boxes is the real star of this show. A variety of white picture frames are placed over wood boxes (easily tacked together at home), backed with decorative giftwrap, then filled with all manner of festive objects, to surprise and delight. Pumpkins and miniature witch figures… with a bright spotlight on our fetching Day of the Dead Puppy Love Ornaments. Playfully arranged and suspended from a painted branch, with a dimensional fabric background.
Candy Bar
How’s this for a sweet ending to our out-of-this-world decorating odyssey? As much a fanciful feast for the eyes as it is a tantalizing treat for the confectionery lover, a candy bar is shockingly simple to stir up. A variety of sculptural, clear glass urns are filled with an assortment of colorful edibles—the bold splashes of black, orange, and white really turn heads. Graphically designed Halloween serveware, like our Harlequin Cake Plates, fascinate even further and introduce a vertical element, while thoughtfully crafted treat bags mean everyone takes a piece of the party home. Multiple bars are a sure bet. Trick-or-treaters, of all ages, think they’re to die for.
Don’t be afraid to embrace your taste! Classic elements will always be at the height of Fright Night fashion. But, now, after a trip to Halloween heaven, you’re armed with the top tips to keep it fresh and fun.
