A Sophisticated Halloween Dinner Party

Halloween – ah yes – Fall is here! I love this holiday because it is fun and full of creative excitement. Costumes, new recipes, and spooktacular parties. With the popularity of jet and charcoal glassware, and pottery, I decided to throw a very grown up and sophisticated Halloween dinner party. This is for adults only, and there is only one rule: no one is admitted without a costume!

Here is how to set a beautiful table and create an environment that is chic and sexy. I like to purchase dishes and other seasonal elements that I can use throughout the year multiple times not just for one specific event. Otherwise, my garage overflows with endless bins of stuff for one-time-use. That drives my organizational and functional sensibilities into overload!

Below are some beautiful elements to add to a beautiful table filled with black earthenware and rustic elements. I also love the idea of including brass, wood and linen touches throughout. Layering will be essential here. A black tablecloth with a white gauze runner is fabulous. And the rustic elements will give the table a dark and mysterious flare. The gold accents bring it up to date. I also love the green stalks, cranberries and pomegranates sprinkled throughout.

Here are some items that would make for a beautiful tablescape! Good luck and…BOO!
