Decorative ideas for an autumn themed party
Each season offers fun pretexts to decorate your home. Before pulling out the Christmas decorations, enjoy the colors of the season for a while and take the opportunity to organize an autumn or Halloween themed party. Decorating your home in the fall is stimulating and fun, especially if you do it with children. Free your imagination to creatively use colored leaves, berries, seasonal fruit, you can also make scented candles with an autumn theme. And of course, get plenty of pumpkins of all shapes and colors. They are the real stars of autumn.
The beauty of autumn-themed natural decorations
From Halloween to Epiphany, the entrance is in the spotlight more than usual. Start here for your fall home decorations. You can create an elegant welcome garland for fall themed party guests. You can make Halloween costumes by yourself. For a surprising effect, weave it with aromatic herbs, it will intensely perfume the entrance. I suggest you create the main crown of the wreath with artificial eucalyptus branches (so it lasts longer), to be mixed with fresh sage sprigs and fresh marjoram sprigs, to be replaced every 3 or 4 days. For a pop of color, decorate with sprigs of red berries or a wreath of red chillies. Arm yourself with needle and thread and ring one chili pepper after another, leaving a distance of a few centimeters between them: the spicy and lucky decoration is ready.
The pumpkin protagonist of the autumn themed party
For an autumn-themed birthday party the cake should be pumpkin. At that point, why not empty the pumpkins properly so that they can be used as fall decorations? You can combine it with other smaller ones, to be placed in baskets or make the classic lanterns. Low and wide yellow pumpkin is best for carving the typical mask of autumn-themed decorations. Gently remove the top cap with a sharp knife; with the tip you engrave eyes, nose and mouth; to make the actual cuts you will need to help yourself with an awl or a cutter. The carved pumpkin is perfect as an autumn themed party decoration. To make it a real Jack o ‘Lantern, place a white candle inside it. Cover with the cap and you will have created a special atmosphere. The extra tip: before closing the pumpkin, sprinkle the inside with nutmeg or cinnamon, the pumpkin will not only illuminate the room.
Scary autumn-themed decorations
Warm up the atmosphere at home before celebrating your autumn-themed birthday. Focus on orange, the color brings joy and is perfect for decorating your home in autumn. Pair it with details in black, elegant but thrilling. A few colored candles, a couple of orange pillows and of course the inevitable pumpkins complete the atmosphere. Do the little DIY: draw, color and cut out paper bats, then combine them into a garland to run along the wall of the room. With pen and paper you can prepare writings to stick on the wall: choose from witty phrases, the classic wishes or keep faith with the Halloween mood of an autumn themed party with some “Buuu”. How scary!
