It should be of no surprise that I love color, but my use of color is not just for spring and summer. In years past I have felt limited to the orange/black colors of Halloween, but not this year. This year I decided to bring all the colors to Halloween. Today I will share a few bright, colorful Halloween party decoration ideas with you including a table set up, drink station, and a few simple DIY’s and tomorrow I will be back with an alternate, more sophisticated version with even more DIY’s in shades of dark burgundy, forest green, and copper. So check out the colorful details here and come back tomorrow so that you can pick your new favorite way to celebrate Halloween in color.

For this colorful Halloween party, I decided to go with pinks, peaches, blues, and oranges and brought those colors in through the pumpkins, flowers, glasses, and plates. And how fun is that piece of DIY art?

To make one for your Halloween celebrations, just frame a piece of patterned paper (I found this one by Meri Meri at Paper Source). Then use this Silhouette cut file to cut out pink vinyl that says “Drink up Witches” and stick the vinyl to the glass part of the frame for a quick piece of art that matches your party decor.

For the pumpkins and flowers, I spray painted a few faux foam pumpkins with my chosen colors and then removed the stem and replaced it with faux flowers in various bright colors. Real mini pumpkins complete the look.

At the drink station I piled up a few pumpkins and a large vase of flowers and added in the DIY artwork, colorful drinking glasses (make them by spray painting the bottom half of plain glasses), and a few colorful drinks and snacks like these funfetti monster pretzels. To make your own, dip pretzels in melted white coating chocolate, sprinkle with sprinkles in your parties colors, and top with two edible candy eyes. So cute and perfect for Halloween!

On the table I used plastic gold flatware and sprinkle patterned paper plates that match the artwork (also from Meri Meri via Paper Source) and added a centerpiece of more pumpkins and flowers. Colorful, fun, and perfect for a playful Halloween party.

Now that you have all the DIY’s and ideas for how to throw and colorful and unique Halloween party, be sure to check back in for a more sophisticated take on Halloween. Then you can tell me which one is your favorite!
