How to use flowers for your Halloween decor

When thinking of Halloween decor, the most common themes are pumpkins, skulls, pretty much all things creepy crawly and the occasional candy corn thrown in the bunch. If you’re looking to decorate with something that is a little more unconventional, why not try adding florals to your holiday decor this season? Here are some of our favorite ways to add gorgeous flowers to your home this Halloween.

DIY Skull Vase

Sometimes, creating a festive floral arrangement is as simple as finding a vase that fits your theme. This super easy DIY involves a life-sized model skull and some of your favorite fresh fall flowers for a table centerpiece that is slightly creepy but perfectly chic. (via Honestly Yum)

Welcome Sign

Skip the cheesy welcome signs this year and opt for a pumpkin vase instead. You could use it as a centerpiece or place it on your stoop. Either way, it will be cute + festive. (via BHG)

Neutral Colors

Stick with vases and florals in simple hues (in this case, black and white) and arrange them in a hodgepodge of painted vases you can buy or DIY. (via Country Living)

Modern Bouquet

Whether you’re planning a fall wedding or simply looking to spruce up your space, florals in hues of rust and green with a simple striped ribbon will make a big impact. (via Snap Photography)

DIY Mummy Vase

All you need to grab is some cheesecloth and a few pairs of googly eyes to make these adorable mummy vases. (via Hostess With the Mostess)

Pink Roses

Who says your Halloween decor has to be black or orange? Go bold with some pink roses for a display that is surprising and cute without being spooky. (via Tulipina)

Succulents

Grab a couple of mini pumpkins, hollow them out and then place your favorite succulents inside. These are minimalist, but would look fantastic on a coffee table or mantel. (via Living Locurto)

Scary Spider Roses

Even an arrangement as simple as a bouquet of white roses can be Halloween-ified with the right tools. Find or paint a black vase, then use vinyl glue to add bugs, snakes or any other creepy creatures to your arrangement. (via Martha Stewart)

Antlers and Fall Colors

For something a little more unconventional, grab a pair of faux antlers and mix them up with some silk flowers and pumpkins. We guarantee you’ll want to keep this on display throughout fall. (via French Kissed)

DIY Pumpkin Table Centerpiece

Another way to use a pumpkin as a vase, this centerpiece would make for a great hostess gift for that Halloween party you’re attending. (via Wine and Glue)
