Here at Event Kings a Halloween themed event is not a concept reserved for a six year old. Truth be told, human beings seems to have a fascination with the macabre. The darker side of life has always been an inspiration in entertainment. Magicians like Harry Houdini use illusion to make us question what we see before our own eyes. Great directors like Alfred Hitchcock use mystery to illicit thrills from their patrons.  The different between these innovators of intrigue and your standard B-Movie gore, is the masterful execution of suspense in a glamorous and ghoulish setting.

So, pray tell what is the secret to sophistication and spook? Halloween décor uses the power of suggestion and element of surprise to recreate the excitement we experience as we witness Hollywood Horror. It could be an event that just happens to occur during October, such as a Sweet Sixteen or Halloween could be the reason of the evening. The dark and magical is a versatile yet unconventional theme that makes your event more memorable.

Walk your guests though a glittering forest or enchant them with a magic mirror. Choose candlelit Gothic details for a vintage vibe that is nothing less than classically creepy. Once you have determined your devious decorations it’s time to “exorcise” exquisite entertainment. Not for the faint-of-heart, a Murder Mystery event is your ticket to an intriguing evening. Excite, and surprise your guests by entertaining them with a story that they are a part of.  Another way to add additional thrills and chills is by enlisting a magician. Children and adults will delight in the illusions created by a man skilled in “slight-of-hand.”

Loony for Luna Bazaar

8:33 AM

I've known of Luna Bazaar for quite a while and got wonderful lanterns from them for events. They have an amazing selection of sizes, shapes and colors. But not until recently did I realize they have a bevy of other amazing accessories for any event (or your home, I know I can use an Ikat pillow!). I am so behind on this information it's embarrassing but I cannot let my faithful readers (all 3 of you) go another day without knowing about Luna Bazaar as well. Check out all the super cool things you can get from this site... (note: I could have pasted about 20 more pictures but I am practicing self control).



Gold gilded votive holders are to die for! They bring that Moroccan feel that is so in right now. Put about 10 in different styles and colors on the table, along with a great linen and you have yourself a very chic event.




These rice paper votive holders are just so cool I think I need...no I HAVE TO HAVE all of them for my home. Oh what a little bamboo or wave print can do to a girl. These patterns are super fashionable and very Jonathan Adler-esque.


Normally I would shun on kitschy favors but this coin purse doubles as a place card holder - perfect for a bridal/baby shower.



These pillow covers evoke that worldly look and will perfectly compliment your Arabian Nights themed lounge at an attractive price of $10 to $30.
Happy shopping! Let me know the fun things you bought for your next event!
