Your decor should be sophisticated yet never minimal. Simple linens and dishes in the Halloween color palette express a more adult ambiance than the typical kid-centric party supplies. Try incorporating a few fun and playful elements to spark conversation.
Graphic black-and-white plates and trays are the highlight of an autumn vignette. Affix them to the wall with Fun-Tak adhesive.
Use silk flowers to create an unexpected (and long-lasting) centerpiece. Choose daisies and marigolds or other flowers in shades evocative of fall foliage, and, using wire cutters, trim the stems to an inch and a half long. Then insert the flower heads into a Styrofoam ball to make a densely packed sphere.
A versatile decoration, these floral ornaments can be used to add punches of color throughout the room. Vary the size of the Styrofoam balls, mix the type and color of flowers, and tack on a nylon loop for hanging. Suspend them from a chandelier, or hang them over the dining table at differing heights. Make variations that are appropriate for other holidays ~ your imagination is your only limit.
Whimsical broomstick place cards will give guests a lift. Paint a dowel black for 
the broom handle. Fold strips of raffia in half and attach to the handle with a piece of string. Cut looped raffia ends to create bristles. Write guests’ names on pieces of ribbon and hot glue to the handles.
