When I think of October, obviously Halloween comes to mind. I think of ornate Victorian interiors and Gothic cathedrals with gargoyles of mythical beasts. Inspired by jewel tones- amethyst and ruby, as well as deep maroon, favored by the Victorians, I created these arrangements. I used statis, dahlias, and this weird velvety "brain" looking plant. I made one large center piece, and placed the remaining flowers on hand in a pair of mint julep cups. I used black candles in my silver candlesticks to finish off the table. (Black candles also look stunning in crystal candlesticks as well.) The tablecloth is red damask, but I might be tempted next time to cover the table in deep purple or maroon crushed velvet!
