An evening full of secrets:
The history and magic of Halloween
October 31, the eve of All Saints Day, is Halloween – it’s a night where the mysterious and mystical permeates the real world.
The origins of this festival go far back in time when in Ireland the Celtic Druids heralded in the end of summer with the festival of Samhain. It was a time when people believed that the dead walked among the living and the boundary between worlds was permeable.
Over the centuries, this ancient ritual turned into the holiday that we know today: Halloween – an evening full of spooks, masks, secrets and fun. And while in the U.S. the streets have been alive with people dressed up in costumes for years, Halloween in Germany has also turned into a festive event for the whole family.
It’s about scary and also funny costumes, about being together, telling stories, and the magic in each decorated pumpkin.
Happy Halloween!
Tip:
Bring the old Halloween custom to life and invite your guests to carve their own small pumpkins. Decorate the finished pumpkins on the dining table and let them shine in a warm light.
A spookily beautiful Halloween dinner
A touch of fall fills the air and the time to get creative starts. Halloween isn’t just about the night of scary costumes and glowing pumpkins, but also the joy of a lovingly decorated table.

The joy of the little details at a Halloween dinner party
It is the celebration of decorating where colors, shapes and elements of fall blend harmoniously. Flowing, transparent fabrics lie gently on the table, while artfully placed spider webs and pumpkins fill the room with a playful and spooky atmosphere.
Whether imaginatively arranged candles, artistically folded napkins, or carefully selected details – the table becomes the focal point of a celebration that combines fun and creativity.

Stage the Halloween table with a scary flair
A stylish Halloween dinner party depends on the right balance of colors and details. For a dramatic look, the deep black dinnerware with a raw surface offers is a great choice, which harmonizes perfectly with the theme of Halloween. Black dinnerware creates a mysterious atmosphere, which is complemented by glasses with subtle black accents. Stylish glasses and the fine black or golden flatware also give the table an elegant touch without being overbearing.
The game of contrasts – from dark black to white porcelain – creates a dynamic look. This turns the dinner party into a successful mix of stylish spookiness and autumnal warmth.
Tip:
To round out the complete look, warm shades of orange can create accents in the form of napkins, candles or flower decor. A black vase adds the necessary charm to the table and can be artfully decorated with dried flowers or pumpkins, or even serve as a champagne cooler.

Hosting friends & family for Halloween
Halloween offers the perfect opportunity to be inspired and design imaginative Halloween table settings for family or friends.
From spooky and beautiful, to elegant and somber arrangements: the opportunities are endless. Whether with pumpkins, candles or autumnal details – every table setting becomes an expression of the common joy of celebrating and decorating.
Give your creativity free rein and enjoy the special atmosphere of this spooky night.
