halloween decor + blogger love

halloween decor

if i were to host a halloween gathering this year… these are some inspirations i adore for decorating! i am actually not a huge holiday decorator {usually just for christmas} *unless we are having people over … then i decorate an area of our home {usually the island or breakfast nook} for the event. i am a collector and love to hunt for old/vintage pieces to use when hosting. for christmas, i am not a traditional decorator either… for example, i don’t incorporate any red, but instead, love a lot of gold, silver, green, pink, white, and a TON of vintage pieces. i am all about the glitter, florals, birds, faux fur, rustic wood pieces for the holidays. 
originally, we had four halloween parties to attend this saturday {and were going to try and make two of them} however, my parents are now coming into town this weekend instead of last weekend, so we are going to spend time with them instead {can’t even wait to see them!} i did want to share what we were going to be though… 
i was going to be a jar of preggo and mr. monaco was going to be the milk man ♥

this look is stunning to me – just perfect for a fall gathering.

    Love white pumpkins. To me it's so much better than the actual orange ones. lol

    We actually have a similar table scape going on! Just at a few pumpkins and gourds with a tree branch candle holder. It's simple but a little festive for fall.

    Those white pumpkins are gorgeous! The cupcakes and calligraphy class looks like so much fun! I love being able to decorate for holidays and my favorite is actually changing up the front porch with the seasons
