Halloween with Villeroy & Boch
Dense fog shrouds the streets and flickering candlelight bathes the room in a mysterious glow.
On Halloween, a night when anything feels possible, a world of imagination and mystical tales comes to life. Villeroy & Boch has lots of stylish ideas to help you make this celebration a beautifully spooky and atmospheric experience.
An evening of mystery:
the stories and magic of Halloween
The 31st of October, the eve of All Saints’ Day, is Halloween – a night when the air is filled with a sense of mystery and magic.
The origins of this celebration stretch back deep in time, to Ireland, where Celtic druids marked the end of summer with the Samhain festival. People believed that this was a time when the dead walked among the living and the boundaries between the two worlds became permeable.
Over the centuries, this ancient ritual has evolved into the event we celebrate today: Halloween – a spooky evening of masks, mysteries and fun. While trick or treaters have been a traditional sight on American streets for years, Halloween has now become a special celebration for the whole family in Germany too.
The focus is on dressing up in creepy or funny costumes, spending time together, telling stories and enjoying the magic hidden in every decorated pumpkin.
Happy Halloween!
Tip:
Bring an old Halloween tradition to life and invite your guests to carve their own little pumpkins. Decorate the finished creations on the dining table and enjoy their cosy glow.
A spookily beautiful Halloween dinner
The arrival of autumn means it’s time to get creative. Halloween is not just a night of creepy costumes and glowing pumpkins, it’s also about the pleasure of designing an atmospheric table setting.
The joy of little details at a Halloween dinner party
This event celebrates the art of decorating, bringing colours, shapes and autumnal elements together in perfect harmony. Wafting, transparent materials are draped softly over the table, while artistically arranged spiders’ webs and pumpkins create a fun, creepy atmosphere in the room.
With imaginatively arranged candles, artistically folded napkins and carefully selected details, the table becomes the centrepiece of a celebration combining fun and creativity.
Spooky effects for the Halloween table
The perfect balance of colours and details is essential for a stylish Halloween dinner party. For a dramatic look that harmonises perfectly with the Halloween theme, deep black crockery with a textured surface is an ideal choice. Choose glasses with subtle black accents to emphasise the mysterious effect of the black tableware. Stylish glasses and fine black or gold cutlery will add an elegant note to the table without being overpowering.
The contrast of dark black and white porcelain creates a dynamic look that will transform your dinner party into a successful blend of stylish spookiness and autumnal warmth.
Tip:
To complete the eerie scene, add accents with warm orange shades in the form of napkins, candles or floral decorations. A black vase will bring an essential touch of charm to the table and can be artistically decorated with dried flowers or pumpkins or used as a champagne cooler.
Inviting friends & family for Halloween
Halloween is a perfect opportunity to find new inspiration and create imaginative Halloween table settings for family or friends.
From creepily beautiful to elegantly dark effects: the options are endless. Whether you choose pumpkins, candles or autumnal details – every table setting will express the joy of decorating and celebrating together.
Give free rein to your creativity and enjoy the special atmosphere of this spine-tingling night.
