Halloween Angel Tablescape... A Gothic Tale...

Halloween Angel...  A Gothic Tale...


Halloween decorating can be so much fun.  You can let your imagination go.  But, I don't take it too seriously, it is all in good fun.

My inspiration for this tablescape is my cute Halloween doll.  She is about 48" tall.  Has a lovely dress and adorable button trimmed shoes. Stunning gray taffeta wings.  A sweet expression on her face.  She has painted on bones.      

I have shown her to several people to get their opinion on what or who she is.  Some say Vampire, others say Zombie. Ghost?  Winged angel? Mummy?  Day of the Dead Angel? With popular consensus, she is our Halloween Angel, with a Gothic touch!

Feathered wings?  The placemat is made from black iridescent feathers.  The charger plate is a candle tray from IKEA, that I sprayed with gray paint.  Topped with one of my favorite white plates.  On top are some red rose salad plates, and then a black chocolate rose.  The rose theme is for my lovely angel that came with a red rose attached to her hands.

Birdcage from Pottery Barn last year.  They had 3 sizes and for some reason had tons of them left over.  The price was an absolute steal.  The largest was only $16.00 and I had a coupon as well.  The original price was so much more.  A really great buy!

             I glittered a Dollar Store skull.

The gorgeous pumpkins with jewels came from Home Goods, early in the season.  Like the first week of August.  Is that early or what!

The candlesticks I used for my Mother's Day Tablescape.  They were originally green.  I sprayed them gray as well.

        The napkin rings are bracelets.  Each slightly different.

This tablecloth was perfect for this tablescape.  I couldn't believe how well it goes with my Halloween Angel.  The taffeta cloth sheared smocking has a red taffeta rose sewn on at each corner with 3 black feathers tucked in and sewn under the rose.  I don't know the manufacturer of this cloth.  I bought it at a local Boutique store.  I love this cloth more than any I own as it is so lovely and unique.  I have never seen another like it.

   Flatware from Anthropologie.  This is the white version of this flatware.

I am actually using 2 creamy white goblets from Z Gallerie at each place setting.  For photo purposes only I just left one on the table.

        Poison bottle with a jeweled skull head.  Home Goods again.  

       The adorable gray taffeta high-button shoes on my Angel. 

I moved one of the chairs up to the table to show how I am decorating them.  Just some lovely black wings and a sparkled gray tulle sash.

I have 2 different dining tables.  My dark walnut and metal table for Fall and Winter.  The lighter wood one for Spring and Summer.  I never took photos in my dining room this Summer and before I move it back out to the garage where I rotate and keep them, I thought I would do this Tablescape.  I have just planned to do a certain themed Christmas Tablescape and want to do it on the lighter table, so I am not sure about moving it to storage yet.

A view of the tablecloth from my balcony, as my description does not do it justice.

Thank you for taking the time to look at my latest Blog Post.  
I will be posting this for Tablescape Thursday at Between Naps on the Porch.
