Halloween Countdown: Halloween Wedding Decor Part 1

October 22nd, 2011

Last year, Halloween fell on a Saturday. Why didn’t everyone on earth with even the slightest inclination to wed rush to the altar? (Oh, because not everyone adores Halloween like I do…I forgot).

I was expecting a proliferation of spooky wedding decorations from 2010 to come up in an image search, but didn’t find as many as I expected. So here are a few nice table setups:

And on a related note, dark roses and calla lilies…simple and lovely!

Tomorrow…cakes.

I’d like to see what the “tricks” are. I’ve used A LOT of black thread in my day.

This actually wasn’t made for Halloween, but…what’s with the demon snake eyes? I find this more terrifying than most horror illustrations.

A couple of fine ways to travel if you’re dead:

A little unrelated but was this…a thing?

Amazing autumn maple…

Awesome idea for innovative pumpkin decoration…the junk-o-lantern!

I’m sure there are more “treat bag” posts on the way. Image suggestions are welcome!

And now, some favorites from this year’s stock.

I like their whole “Be Very Afraid” line of decorations and tableware.

A few simple, classy black items might go well with…well, pretty much anything.

A special twist on drink umbrellas:

Check out this…wait for it…HANDelabra:

I must admit I swooned over these mini icing knives for cake/cupcake decorating like I was looking at a newborn baby. “Ooooh…so cute!”

Mizukagami Water Mirrors

July 29th, 2011

I’ve seen countless decorative mirrors, but very few do creative things with the design of the mirror surface itself.

Would you want one of these in your house? I rather like the illusion.

A few more photos and a tiny bit of info at the source.
