Guest Picks: Throw a Hauntingly Dramatic Halloween Party
Accent your table with these gorgeous glass silver chargers. They'll be just the pop of brightness against a black tablescape.
Why not add midnight black wineglasses for the adults to get into the Halloween spirit?
Chalkboard place holders make great markers for the buffet instead of using food tent cards.
Host a fun Halloween party without the worry of cleanup. These elegant black dinner and salad plates are disposable.
Your table will look regal and spooky with a center full of black candleholders!
Black candelabras interspersed with taper candleholders along the table add a dramatic impact. They also looks regal on the mantel for Halloween.
If you are mainly hosting a party for adults and older children, these black wax taper candles are perfect.
Use black cake stands of different heights to showcase your treats: caramel apples, cupcakes or cookies.
Mercury glass accents on the table and along the buffet will definitely make an elegant statement.
Use black, pleated table coverings to keep with the table setting.
Black dinner napkins also keep with the dark and elegant theme. I prefer black cloth napkins, monogrammed of course, but disposable will work too.
Halloween makes a wonderful time to go ornate! Pull out your silver serving trays or begin a collection.
A few mercury glass serving pieces will help tie the black and silver theme together.
Use apothecary jars to set up an eccentric faux science experiment area for display or as a creepy-crawly candy bar.
Allow guests to serve themselves drinks with these stacking drink dispensers. I love that they reduce the amount of space needed on the buffet!
A little spider web here and there makes for just the right touch.
You are going to need cheesecloth — and lots of it! Use it as a tablerunner, along your mantel with huge black candelabras, and even to make a cloak for your costume. The possibilities are endless.
If you prefer to use disposable cups, definitely go black! These 12-ounce cups are perfect for your guests to use if you head out for a neighborhood trick-or-treating activity with the kids after dinner.
You'll want black straws for the Solo cups, especially if there are children attending.Next: 36 Stylish and Spooky Halloween Decorations
You don't have to worry about a fire from a candle being knocked over with these flameless candles. I love the black dripped-wax look!
