Feeling like throwing a Halloween party this year? Consider inviting everyone to your backyard as it can be easily turned into a mysterious and cool space for having a bit of fun at Halloween. This roundup is right for you as we’ve gathered some smart tips and nice examples that might help you with that.
Styles And Themes
To make decor stylish and your party unforgettable, first choose a color scheme and theme or style that will unite all the decor you gonna use. The most popular themes are Harry Potter, witches, vampires, skeletons, and as for styles, just support the style of your backyard, which is often boho, farmhouse or rustic, so your decor will look 100% cohesive. The most loved color schemes are black and orange, which are traditional Halloween colors, black and gold and neutrals, still you can get any colors that inspire you.
Decor
What decor will look awesome at outdoor Halloween parties? First of all, skip all kinds of small decorations as they won’t be seen from a distance, so no sense. Use skeletons to dress them up and create hilarious or mysterious and scary scenes all around the backyard. Get large balloon garlands, large pumpkins stacked and bold flowers. If it’s a rustic space, you can use hay bales and cornstalks, if it’s a boho space, add pampas grass and dried blooms. Don’t be afraid to DIY various stuff as most of Halloween decor is quite easy to make yourself and it will look gorgeous.

Reception
The main space is your Halloween reception, which should be styled according to your colors and theme. Go for balloon garlands, overhead twig installations and blooms, stack hay bales and pumpkins on the side. Cover the table with a dark tablecloth and add black candles in gold candleholders, consider making centerpieces of bold or dark flowers, especially if it’s some refined theme or style.

Movie Zone
I strongly recommend to create an outdoor movie zone for your Halloween party!

Incorporate flowers, skeletons and stuff like that to remind that this is Halloween.
