Spooky Halloween Soiree

“Shadows of a thousand years rise again unseen, voices whisper in the trees, tonight is Halloween.” (Dexter Kozen) We welcome you to come along and be inspired by our Spooky Halloween Soiree that will surely be a spooktacular time had by all. We have everything planned, from the invitation all the way to dishes and cocktails, ghostly enough to leave even the bravest with chills.

Invitation

Calling all spirits! This custom invitation is a perfect way to get guests excited for the upcoming Halloween Soiree. The eerie vibe seeps in as they open the deep black envelope wrapped with a mysterious message inviting them to the witchy celebration. These little details go a long way and have lasting impact.

Once those items are placed, we mixed in natural elements of Spanish moss and added in creepy pieces of bones and curiosities. If you look closely you might find some spiders and crows lurking!

For our Spooky Soiree we decided to have a plated setting, but for a more casual setting you can opt for buffet style. We layered dark slate chargers with black plates to keep with the spooky dark vibe. We then paired black linen napkin that draped over the charger to add an extra layer between the charger and plate, this creates a little more depth. Adding in a tinge more elegance to the table are crystal goblets that will be filled with a creepy cocktail, straight from the witches’ cauldron, of course!

For the backdrop of this hauntingly eye-catching table we utilized an antique cupboard that exemplified the scene. It is filled with equal parts of creepy and chic. There are curiosities combined with clear boxes of bones, old books and dark gourds that add layered interest on each shelf. To finish off the look, mercury tealights were added in to create depth and add the last hint of eeriness.
