Choose your colour scheme and theme, and stick to it! Don’t be afraid to choose something a little bit different like we did with shades of pink and black. It makes for a really fun and modern Halloween party. We mixed and matched the tableware from Other Letters to bring the theme and colours together.
Always, always, always include flowers! They bring any party to life. We were lucky to have Sally’s Studio create some spooky yet beautiful flower arrangements for our party.
Keep it sweet and simple! We choose a naked drip cake made by the amazing Wilma’s Bakery in our party colours and added flowers from the flower arrangements to tie everything in. We also had super cute swan cookies made by My Petite Kitchen which the children adored.
Balloon installations are all the rage right now and really help to make a venue looked dressed up and super fun. Our balloon colour of choice right now is blush, it looks amazing combined with any other colour balloon.

Highlight your theme with subtle details: we choose to spray paint pumpkins in pink, rose gold and black. We also added a swan ornament filled with spooky skulls to the children’s table to bring our theme of Halloween and swans together. Fun signage is always a great idea too: we had bespoke Perspex signage made by Mother Wild and put together some fun Halloween sayings on letterboards.
Children love dressing up so we included a rail of the most beautiful children’s dress up clothes made by Florence & Bunny and fun t-shirts by Tee by Charlotte West. Classic games such as 'musical statues' and 'pass the parcel' always go down really well and you can change the name to fit the theme: how about 'zombie freeze' and 'pass the witches hat?' We also popped some beautiful books in the tepee for the children to read for some chill out time.
Halloween might be a dark and spooky affair but we would recommend always choosing a venue with tons of natural light, believe me it makes such a difference! The Yoga Barn has huge floor to ceiling windows which is perfect for a fresh, modern Halloween soirée.
