Sometimes a little spooky elegance is just what you need
for Halloween.
Flickering candles.
Beautiful frozen foliage dotted with flowers
and maybe… a bit of drama.
It is no secret that I am not a huge Halloween decorating kind of girl.
But when I do decorate for Halloween- I tend to lean on the ‘elegant’ and romantic side.
If Halloween decor can be considered romantic…
Basically, it is all about the ambiance over here.
And today I am sharing the first 2 stylings I did with these amazing elements
for Romantic Elegant Halloween
with Balsam Hill.
You see… it started with those candles.
Those Miracle Flame Candles that flicker away
and provide all the ambiance and charm
without any of the worry.
I am more than mildly obsessed with them.
They are made with a wax coating- so they look AND feel real
and have special technology that makes them flicker like the Haunted Mansion at Disneyland.
And the best part?
Remote Controls baby.
You can turn them on and off
more flame, less flame, faster, slower
you name it- all with the flick of a switch on the remote control.
And…
They even come in taper candles.
YES.

So good, right?

For this post which is kicking off the Halloween Tricks or Treats with Balsam Hill
I styled 2 spaces to show you how these pieces could be easily incorporated into your home.
First up- the mantel.
Because- hello beautiful elegant spooky mantel!
I used just 3 things for each of these stylings.
I am in love with this spooky elegant garland.
It is a gorgeous frosted black garland dotted with flowers
and leaves that makes it feel like it is frozen on Halloween night.
The dahlias and magnolias and frosted branches are stunning in person.
And both the garland and wreath can be lit with batteries.
Which means that Halloween night takes on an even more spooky elegant look.
And those lanterns completely knocked my socks off.
They are rechargeable lanterns for indoors or out
and I absolutely love the flicker they create.
Between you and me-
we have been using them every evening on the patio outside
for ambiance by the fire.
I placed them on the coffee table and also on the side table in the living room
for a little bit more ‘spooky elegance’
For a quick change different look- I styled a sideboard in the dining room.
I know not everyone has a mantel in their house- but a great substitute for a mantel
and all the decor that you would put there- is a sideboard.
This sideboard currently has that old chalkboard I made years ago sitting on it.
So I switched the saying to be a bit more spooky and then got to work.
I draped the garlands over the top
brought those candelabras over for a fun flicker
and
loaded the sideboard up with candles.
Serious love for the ambiance they create in this little corner.
And over here I lit the garland instead of the wreath to show what that looks like.
I love the warmth that the orange bulbs create.
Those flickering lanterns landed on the table for a bit of tabletop ambiance.
Not sure what my favorite thing is with these elements- they are all so charming.
And….
stay tuned because I have another quick change styling coming your way
that shows just how versatile these pieces can be.
