Halloween Party Tips for Decor and More
The sky’s the limit when it comes to Halloween theme options. There’s more to the holiday than ghosts, witches, fake cobwebs, and bats. We love them, too, but if you’re looking for something a little different, try these Halloween party ideas.
Pick A Halloween Color Scheme
Think beyond orange and black for Halloween decor: rich goldenrod yellow and rusty orange hues mirror autumn leaves; elegant burgundy and red pop against white pumpkins; rich purples pair perfectly with deep, dark black; and even sage green or steel blue can have a place in your Halloween decor. Play with these color scheme ideas to create your own Halloween vibe:
- Top a black-and-white striped or chevron tablecloth with solid black plates, napkins, and cups.
- Create centerpieces with white pumpkins for a harvest-inspired accent.
- Pair silver-framed mirrors with candles for an eerie-meets-glam look.
- Choose spine-chilling decorations in bold red, slime green, or witchy purple for classic Halloween style.
