BuDhaGirl's Halloween Inspiration

Entertaining your favorite ghouls and gals this Halloween? From custom drinks to Morticia-approved place settings, bewitch your spooky soiree with some of these festive decorating ideas!

Set the tone with a black table cloth, and rich accents in jewel tone shades.

Moody lighting is essential for a Halloween bash - plan your candle groupings accordingly.

Quick pumpkin crafts will add a little bite to a place setting, bar cart, or lonely corner.

Add height to your candle display by using empty vases of all sizes.

Affix bat silhouettes to a dried arrangement, or suspend them from the ceiling for extra dimension.

Create a cabinet of curiosities theme on your table by decorating with natural oddities such as shells and skulls.

A Halloween gathering calls for rich, savory, colorful foods.

Put a feminine spin on your party with a little sparkle - bedazzled skulls anyone?

A table setting with black textiles and plates offers the perfect backdrop for bright, bold flower arrangements.

Don't forget a little whimsy at the bar cart!

You can never go wrong with something simple, such as the pairing of black candles with lush ferns.

A signature drink is a must-have. What will you be making in your cauldron?

Experiment with aged flowers for your Halloween table setting

Once you've stirred up the party's custom drink, be sure and give it a worthy name!

You aren't forced to stick with an orange and black color scheme for Halloween! Try mixing in surprising shades like hot pink and lime green.
