Party Wednesday: Witches’ Coven

             With the surprising rise of witches back on TV (Witches of Eastend and American Horror Story: Coven) I just thought it would be appropriate to celebrate.  Let’s turn that lively home into a dead/ haunted one and invite your coven over for dinner.

Décor

                        For the décor I wanted a more elegant setting, like the head witch has invited the coven over for dinner.  The main colors are going to be black, white and accents of red.

            For lighting normal white lighting will be fine but be sure to add black candles, candle holders, and a fancy black chandler to tie back in the horror feeling.

                On a mantel or stand alone shelf, place a focal point of some black picture frames (they can contain a freighting picture inside or an old creepy looking photo) with some black candles holders and black cloth draped over it.  The photo I found has used some black crows and white pumpkins, you can use that as well or in place of the pumpkins you can add skulls.  I would recommend skulls.

            Along book shelf’s, add some black bottles and clear one with some witch’s ingredients in them.

  For the food table, keep it simple with a black runner with a mesh white runner on top.  For the center piece have elaborate candelabra, or go with a bird cage painted black with a skull and a crow inside.

For the flatware, use black utensils, for the plates find something unique and creepy and use red cloth napkins.

            This should give your coven something to talk about until the next get together.  As always if you have a party idea or would like to share one of your own themed parties, send it my way and I will put it up on my blog.  Next week is the last Halloween themed party.  Don’t be sad there will be a party theme each month; just keep an eye out for them.  Come back Friday where I will give you my review on Grand Theft Auto V.

See you on the other side
