Board #305: All Hallows Eve

Happy Halloween all! Last year I did a more formal, Victorian-Gothic style Halloween board, but this year I thought I do something a little more playful and sweet. I was largely inspired by vintage Halloween cards and toys, and thought crepe paper streamers would be a perfect decorative element for this inspiration board (whether for a wedding or just a Halloween party).

Mood: Halloween whimsy
Palette: black, orange, white

I adore this! If I didn't have my heart set on a certain style already, I would so be talking the man into this.

I adore your boards in general, but as I'm having a 'hallowedding' this was particularly fun for me.

Would you happen to have any insight into the flowers used in that bouquet? It's brilliant.

Hi deadmanslog,

The bouquet in the top row is made of white hydrangea and black-beaded flowers. The bouquet in the bottom row is white sweetpeas, narcissus, ornithogalum and black privet berries. I hope that helps!

Thank you, Kathryn. That helps tremendously!

The entire board is fabulous, but the pennant & lace photograph and the bouquet up top just grabbed me.

:)
