Happy Halloween: Lotus Ridge
We decided to have a last minute Halloween dinner before the weekend and wanted to add a non-traditional color into the mix. We both love green so we spiced up the table with green and silver glitter skulls to compliment the orange and black.
For glasses we used ghost goblets, perfect for serving red wine on Halloween. The glasses create the spooky illusion that the wine is bleeding into the stem. For place cards we took plastic skulls found at a craft store and made a cut on top of each one. Then we found a skull graphic and added each guests name. Once each design was printed and cut out it was placed on a green place card with two sided puffy tape and placed into the plastic skull. We then sat each card on top of an upside down mini-martini glass with a faux candle underneath to create an up lit skull effect. To finish the table off, we placed skull candles and skull vodka bottles next to wine bottles capped with crystal skull headed corks.
As an appetizer we served Orange Marinated Olives, delicious and consistent with the color theme and for dessert we had Pumpkin Top Cupcakes.
