Fab Fete: How to throw a Halloween Party Without the Color Orange

For those of you gouls and goblins looking forward to Halloween, this post may just inspire you to host your own Halloween soiree.

Here’s how to glam it up at your next Halloween bash without having to rely on the traditional orange and black theme.

All these stationary sets are available through TomKatStudios on etsy.com.  Isn’t it great that you too, can achieve such professional presentation all with the downloadable click of a button?  My last post listed my favorite free printable party downloads.  The ones shown here are available at half-off.

I just love how TomCat perfectly pairs one of my favorite prints, damask with some elegant touches of black and white with a pop of purple.  THIS is how an adult halloween party should be decorated!

The party circles are so versatile.  They can be f&b toppers, envelope stickers, labels and tags.

Here’s how TomKat’s team put it all together.  I like the dessert table below but could have done without the sconces and bat trim.

All above photos are from Laura Winslow.

I’d decorate this party with black feather wreaths and garlands from Pottery Barn- maybe use the feather garland instead of the bat garland pictured above?


I’m also loving the idea of black chandeliers with this dark, glamorous party.  Here’s my fashion meets decor collage for this party.

What do you think?

I’m going to be in Germany for Halloween this year, so this halloween party is simply a fantasy for me.

Fab Fetes: Pink Parties

With October being breast cancer awareness month, pink party planning is in full force!  Here are the pink themed events that I’ve been working on:

  • Anzie jewelry trunk show with personal appearance featuring pink jewels, pink champagne and bracelets that donate sales proceeds to cancer research
  • a pink-themed brunch for American Cancer Society volunteers
  • an evening cancer charity event with a personal appearance and trunk show with jewelry master, Tito Pedrini
  • 4days of Key to the Cure events

Here were some of my dessert table inspiration pictures to get me geared up for the month.

And I’m loving these pink ribbon dessert finds.  Lollipops. Cupcakes.  pink ribbon sprinkles and Oreo covered cookies. You’ve gotta love the pink fashionable goodies – they’re perfect for retail events!

For more on pink dessert tables see my previous post.
