Welcome to our
Black and White Ghoula: A Spirited Affair
This past weekend, Nel and I prepared for her Halloween costume party.
We decorated her place using a black and white theme
with touches of orange in the food and decor.
We made Halloween themed food signs and prepared yummy goodies and spirited wines.
We printed out spooky black and white photos for display and decorated mason jars with potpourri and candles.
We created a "haunted hallway"
where guests walked through a dark walkway into an alternate party room.
Nel dressed as a Spanish dancer, and I was a mermaid.
I made my tail using shiny green fabric and tulle from a fabric store. I decorated a bathing suit top with seashells I collected from my local beach along with pearls and jewels I had on hand.
After I added some ocean inspired accessories, I was ready for the costume party!
We had a very spirited time...
We hope all of you have the Happiest Halloween filled with sweets, treats, and plenty of laughs!

The black and white theme with a touch of orange is fabulous and I especially like those lace covered pumpkins - so effective. This must have been so much fun preparing for the party not to mention the event itself. The mermaid costume is wonderful - you're so creative!

ReplyDeleteCompared to Christmas, Haloween is not yet so popular in Japan. But looking at your photos, it'll be catch on in Japan, too.
A festa foi boa!
ReplyDeleteeu não aprecio esse tipo de festa, mas vejo as imagens.
Gostei muito da roupa de sereia , tipo Ariel. Você caprichou!
O colar azul é pedra de Larimar? da Repubica Dominicana?
Adorei!
