Halloween PARTY TRENDS: From dark and moody to ironic and funky

If you love the theme that combines gothic allure, dark woodland mysticism and the spirit of witchcraft, enchanted coven is your Halloween pick. Dress the space with flickering candles, antique mirrors, and enigmatic symbols, like spell books, potion bottles, sacred knives and cursed jewels to capture the essence of a hidden coven, steeped in ancient secrets.

Step into the tarot reading parlour or fortune teller's alcove to learn what the future holds for you. When ready for a dinner, head into the dining room, decorated with dark branches with black crows, massive candelabras with dim candles, and mysterious symbols and charts on the stationary. Design the menu around the witchcraft too, with bespoke cocktails served with dry ice and smoke bubbles, canapés presented on wooden logs and antique trays, and the main being a full roasted lamb or pork. For a dessert, tempt your guests with the mousses disguised as poisoned apples, and macarons shaped like old witches' fingers.

Opt for a live music by an enchanted strings quartet during the dinner, later replaced by DJ playing the wicked tunes. As shadows get darker and secrets linger, join a circle of bewitched dancers, who perform their mythic rituals on the dance floor.

Step into a realm of bone-chilling delight with the Skeletons-themed Halloween party. Transform your space into an eerie sanctuary with life-sized skeletons, dim lighting, and haunting decorations.

Get playful with the full-sized skeletons, placing them around the house and garden to immitate different activities, like having a tea, riding a bike, or killing it on the dance floor. To finish the scene, consider adding the skeletons of cats, dogs and mice too.

For entertainment, welcome guests to the party with giant skeletons - stilt walkers. They will glide through the crowd in haunting costumes, adding an otherworldly charm to the atmosphere.
