Frequently asked questions
What is the right centerpiece height for a Halloween dinner?
Under 10 inches at the highest point, or above 24 inches so guests can see beneath. Anything in between blocks conversation. Tapered candles above and pumpkins below works beautifully.
How do I do place settings for a Halloween dinner?
Layer a black or pewter charger, an everyday white or cream plate, a textured linen napkin in burnt orange or rust, and a small token on top, a sprig of rosemary, a mini pumpkin, a name card on parchment. Three layers minimum.
Can I do Halloween dining without going kitschy?
Yes. Replace orange-and-black with rust, aubergine, sage, and brass. Use real botanicals over plastic. Light the entire room only by candles and a dimmer. The mood does the work.
