How To Create A Modern Macabre Vibe
Lure Your Victims
All good holiday decor starts with a theme. Will your table be a ghostly graveyard, monster madness treats, or a charcuterie of “finger foods?” A solid theme will help guide you in creating a heart-stopping effect, and selecting the appropriate decor that will make a statement without going overboard or off topic.
Google can sometimes be a rabbit hole when trying to find a specific idea. Hop on Pinterest and search for some inspiration images surrounding your theme to get started.
How Many Monsters Are At The Mash?
Are you hosting a gathering of your best witches, or are you entertaining for family and neighbors? Will you need tons of serving ware and glasses, multiple tables and seating, or will you have a close knit coven of comrades? Thinking about your guests will guide your theme and decor.
Stalk Your Prey
With modern halloween table decorations, a little can go a long way. What you add needs to make an impact and be cohesive with the other elements to pull off a “less is more” look.
Instead of dripping your table in creepy clutter, think about investing in pieces that you’ll be excited to pull out of storage year after year. You might find a set of barware that your guests will be raving mad over, or a set of frightfully chic serving trays that become your new favorite thing.
