Trick or Treat? Hair-Raising Halloween Centerpiece Ideas

October 27th, 2011 by Georgeann

Halloween is a holiday that gives you permission to let your inner child run wild, whether it means dressing up like a zombie prom-queen or buying giant bags of candy “for the kids.” As adults, we really shouldn’t go door to door begging for candy, but we can treat ourselves to a different treat: gorgeous, ghoulish Halloween flower arrangements!

Frightful Halloween Centerpiece Ideas

Our “Midnight Glow” Halloween flower arrangement creates the look of a haunted forest. It features bright mango callas and deep aubergine, practically black “Schwarzwalder” callas combined with black scabiosas, brown, snake-like fiddleheads (also known as monkey tails – to me, a much more disturbing name), and twigs.

Surprise your adult friends with their own special Halloween Treat this October, and create your own Halloween flower arrangement with these great Halloween centerpiece ideas:

Use Black vases or cauldrons.
Hollow out a pumpkin to use as a vessel; line the inside with cellophane, a plastic container, or a small vase.
Use rich autumn colors like orange and deep burgundy.
Find organic elements that harken your imagination to a haunted midnight landscape: bare twigs, fallen leaves, white bark.
Incorporate fun novelty Items like fake bugs, eyeballs or cobwebs into the Halloween flower arrangement so that the design is beautiful from far away, but up close – so creepy! (Get inspiration this spider-infested bouquet by Martha Stewart.)
