Our inspiration board is chic and simple in a strict palette of black and white. This Halloween fête is more sophisticated than creepy…a masquerade ball, perhaps? Goth-romantic invitations, dark hors d’oeuvres and an onyx ball gown are perfectly fitting for such an occasion.
The strength of this table design comes from the black-on-black styling...illuminated by candlelight, a full moon and that fabulous seventies disco ball. A lacy tablecloth, gothic chandeliers and moss creeping across the entire table completes the mood.
Ask guests to come wearing masks to add to the sense of mystery...and it doesn't hurt that these glittery, lacy masks are pretty chic accessories, if you ask me!
Since Halloween is really all about candy, I'd incorporate plenty of sweets into the evening. These figs and candied fruit are perfect for dipping into a pot of warm fondue. And my gooey, melty brownie pudding would make an excellent grand finale.
It all looks pretty magical, no? Hope you all have a ghoulishly glam Halloween, and see you back here in November for some major Thanksgiving party inspiration!

That black gown at the top is phenomenal. It looks like the one Helen wore in Bridesmaids.
