Beautiful flowers, warm colors and tasty for autumn's big fright night? But yes! Although the children dress up as little monsters in screaming costumes, we must not forget that Halloween is originally about magic, celebration and memories.

Find pumpkins, baskets, old boxes, candles and lanterns, and use autumn flowers and leaves to create the right autumn atmosphere.

According to tradition, the distinction between "our" world and the ghost world of the night is almost obliterated on this one night of the year, 31 October. Hence the decoration with objects that symbolize death, black magic and monsters. Halloween originally originated in England and Ireland, but it is probably to a large extent the USA that has influenced the celebration we see in Norway. Today, it is almost standard procedure for children to dress up and go from door to door with a "trick or treat!" on the tongue, and receives sweets from more or less frightened people in the neighbourhood.

Flowers such as carnations, roses and hydrangeas in autumn colors are lovely on the autumn table. Use them together with branches with berries, autumn leaves, poplars and small decorative pumpkins, and feel free to use pine cones, chestnuts and any autumn vegetables you have.

Perhaps a couple of lanterns on the stairs will be nice, and a simple door wreath - which can be given its own Halloween touch with ribbons and flowers? It doesn't hurt to give the little candy monsters a warm welcome.
