A St‑Germain Halloween: How to Host a Spooky Soirée

This Halloween, step away from cobwebs and cauldrons, and invite your guests to an enchanting soirée à la St‑Germain. 🎃

The Details

For décor inspiration, look to the French tradition—subtle, chic, and always with a dash of parisian charm. Create a space that feels both timeless and mysterious, mixing together modern details with a hint of vintage.

The Lighting

Turn down the lights, and turn up the sensual ambiance. Set the scene with candles—lots of them. Let the candles cast their glow, illuminating both the room and the atmosphere.

The Florals

What’s a St‑Germain party without florals? Maintain the eerie atmosphere using delicate florals with a dark twist—deep purple blooms and black dahlias mixed with greenery.

The Eyeball Garnish👀

To make “eyeballs,” peel radishes, leaving thin streaks of red skin on.
Using a small knife, carefully scoop out a small hole in each radish, roughly the size of an olive.
Stuff half of a sliced green olive, pimiento side out, in each hole and arrange the “eyeballs”.
