Buuuuh!
There's a magical night in October that deserves to be celebrated with an amazing spooky dinner. We're talking about Halloween, of course. For fans of this celebration, it's the perfect opportunity to invite friends over for a themed dinner at home.
In this article, we'll give you some tips for creating an unforgettable evening, from table decorations to fun recipes. Get into the Halloween spirit!
Spooky decor
The key to an impactful Halloween dinner is in the decoration. Start in the entrance hall, with small decorative touches and extend this decoration to the living room, whether on the walls, shelves or sideboards. We suggest carved pumpkins or decorations such as spider webs, bats and small witches' cauldrons. Let your imagination run wild!
Halloween dinner table
It's at the table that everything happens. It should perfectly reflect the theme, both in its decoration and in the dishes used. And why not do it with a touch of dark elegance? Since black is one of the most predominant colors in this type of celebration, serve your guests with Asa Selection tableware.
Don't forget the placemats! These accessories are easy to combine with different utensils and create a special setting for the table decoration.
Stand out for your originality. Serve all kinds of delicacies - sweet or savory - on these pumpkin-shaped dishes from Le Creuset. They are made of stoneware ceramic and are absolutely stunning!
For a more minimalist aesthetic, serve your party appetizers on these plates from Asa Selection's Coppa Kuro range. With the matte shine of each piece, you can create an elegant look on your Halloween table. We suggest serving sausage mummies as a starter. Your guests will love it!
