It’s finally here – the season of gleeful jack-o’-lanterns, ghosts swaying among the trees, faux graveyards set up in the front yard and trick-or-treaters tearing down the streets. We’ve been busy at Walter Knoll Florist scaring up some Halloween decor and spooky gifts that will properly celebrate the most macabre of months.
This year, remember to build a little of the fantastical into your decorating. Look for decor that adds whimsy, humor and an element of magic to your home, especially when it comes to flowers. After all, what is Halloween other than a feast for all the senses? Set out some fragrantly frightening blooms and watch the magic happen.
Don’t forget those dark corners, or your desk at work, when you’re spicing up you space for Halloween. A piece like this, with a glossy black jack-o’-lantern for a base, gives way to an explosion of mums and carnations. It’s a carnival of color.
Need a gift for that co-worker who lives for Halloween or your kid’s teacher? How about something for your favorite ghost or ghoulie? Offer them this Spooky Mug arrangement, which comes complete with purple or orange themed flowers and a mug that can be used for coffee, hot chocolate or warm apple cider later.
A bronze and black wreath anchored by a skull makes for a chilly reception at your front door, where your trick-or-treaters will be thrilled to see it.
Even your flowers can go in costume. Sunflowers give face to two festive figures, who are decked out in harvest hues. Give these to your sweetie for her desk at work, or display them on the mantel at home. Fun is never in short supply during Halloween, and Walter Knoll Florist is happy to help you have it.
