Halloween Table Decor Round Up

We’re preparing for our annual Halloween dinner party this coming Sunday and I’ve pulled together a quick round up of a few of the amazing *spookified* table settings & dessert bars that have caught my eye:

This glam Halloween dessert bar by TomKat Studios mixes in nontraditional lavender, lime and glitterfied decor to a create a fun, creative spread.

Sandra of The White Library created an equally chic tablescape full of spiders & crows. Rich jewel tones provide a much friendlier alternative to your everyday Halloween color palette, proving that the holiday doesn’t have to be all about gore to be spooky and fun.

Katie recently showcased her orange and grey kid’s dessert buffet on Celebrations at Home – simple, clean, beautiful!

Anna and Blue created a delicious dessert buffet with similar colors in mind. Check out all of the great diy projects from this party at Hostess with the Mostess.

Finally, Sweets Indeed designed a delectable feature that’s full of Victorian-esq details – including lace patterned cookies, paper products, black swags and even filigree-inspired icing. More on table decor and those mouth-watering desserts here.

Purple seems to be the accent color of choice this year! I do love how it provides a soft contrast to the bright oranges, blood reds and black that we often see. I might just have to make it a feature color of our Halloween spread as well…

{Floral Inspiration} for a Pink & Sage Dessert Buffet

Every once in a while you come across one of those ooh & ahhh images that causes you to pause, stare and ogle for a good while. When Chris over at Celebrations at Home shared this beautiful Petites Bouchees Dessert Bar a while back I immediately filed it away into the ogling brain folder.

How wonderful are the colors? That’s what I think draws me in most to this display. Rosey reds and sage greens (with a bit of yellow mixed in) is one of my very favorite combinations. The floral details are pretty wonderful, too!

I love the idea of using wallpaper as a backdrop for the table. I’ve hung fabric (even my duvet cover) behind tables in the past for that extra ‘pop’ – but wallpapering a piece of plywood sounds like it might be genius.

And a photo of a few more florals…. yum. One of the neatest day classes I’ve attended was a fondant flower making class – the little guys above are super easy and they make the cupcakes so professional looking.

This is the perfect theme for a bridal shower, baby shower or even a wedding!

Favorite Fabric {& Wallpaper}: Thibaut

It’s amazing what a critical difference fabric and wallpaper can make in a space. A great example of this is the latest Thibaut collections which have me searching to find a location in the house where I can wallpaper just one teeny tiny space. Alas, I may have to wait until a little remodeling is done…

Check out the beautiful prints, vivid colors and woven fabrics that are available online. And if you’re just in need of some eye-candy, the above rooms from the Avalon collection provide beautiful inspiration to flip through.

Wouldn’t it be great to do a kitchen wall like the photo above?
