Step 2: Decorations

halloweenAn essential part of hosting a dinner party is the decor because it sets the stage when people begin to flood your apartment/home. In order to impress, it is all about the details that go into the color scheme, placement of table objects, silverware, and the surrounding atmosphere. It's your time to get those creative juices flowing and create a memorable experience for your guests. Allow your guests to escape reality for a bit and let them enter a world of elegance. As Annie has shown in her book, it should be a fun and vibrant scene. Pamper them to the fullest! Select a statement center piece or grab some fall colored flowers from the farmers market. A traditional or pop of color table cloth is also a great way to add your personal style. Keep the silverware simple and have fun with the table setting. Definitely go all out for the Halloween holiday coming up. Grab as many pumpkins to add around because they cost way less than your pumpkin spice latte. [Photo credit: Jerry Rabinowitz]
