What you need for a Halloween tablescape

Candles

You can have so much fun with candles over Halloween and our small brands have got tons of creative decorations to pick from. Think tapered, stripey candles, pumpkins and pastel ghosts. Top tip: if you want a safer option for smaller kids, try some pumpkin fairy lights.

A tablecloth or runner

A tablecloth or runner is a really quick way to bring the spooky vibes to your Halloween spread, whether it’s a black and white striped tablecloth or a spiderweb runner. Ooooh. 

Flowers and foliage

It wouldn’t be Halloween without a pumpkin, whether you’re decorating a real one or going for the easy option – a velvet one. But, if pumpkins aren’t really your jam, dried flowers can set the scene just as well. We love this showstopping bunch from small brand, Willow Cottage Flowers. 

Glassware

For the kids, you could either go for stripey party cups or get these adorable ghost mugs. And, for the grown-ups, we recommend colourful glassware, whether it’s purple, green, black or orange. They’re perfect for your boos. Sorry, we had to. 

Plates & crockery

Obviously you’re going to need some plates and crockery and that’s where our small brands come in. Choose from ‘trick or treat’ plates, spooky skulls or a set of party plates from small brand, Little Big Party Co.These black serving boards also make a great investment as they’ll look amazing all year round, not just for Halloween.

Halloween tablescapes for kids

When it comes to Halloween tablescapes for the kids, the more fun the better. Think personalised placeholders, colourful plates, customisable party hats and colour-in biscuits. And, obviously lots and lots of sweets. You can’t forget those.

Classy and elegant Halloween tablescapes

If you want to achieve an elegant Halloween tablescape start by keeping things simple. Perhaps you just want to stick to black and white as your theme? Or you could keep it really classic with a white tablecloth and some little details to nod to Halloween, like tapered candles or velvet pumpkins.

Spooky Halloween tablescapes

Want to terrify your guests? There’s no judgement here. For a really spooky tablescape, it’s a good idea to pick impactful decorations. Think skull candles, a giant spider for your centrepiece or some atmospheric lighting. How about some chocolate fingers for your spread? That’s one way to do finger food…
