When I first put together a Chic Halloween Tablescape as a taster for our full-blown Halloween party, I never expected to end up with the scale of what we created, but it turns out that you can create a Halloween theme that really is chic yet fun and on a budget using items you already have around the house as the foundation, so it was easy to run with it. Isn’t that the wonderful thing about party styling? Anything is possible. I personally think that what we ended up with would be a truly awesome and unique idea for a wedding couple who love Halloween too. Someone do it please and let me see the outcome!
Day of the Dead, or Dia de los Muertos, is a three day holiday celebrated in Mexico which prays for and remembers family and friends who have died, and helps support their spiritual journey. I like this concept, because it doesn’t focus on ghosts and ghouls that come back to haunt you, which feels more comfortable when there are young children involved. By introducing lots of bright colours and flowers, this definitely feels like a celebration.
