Halloween isn’t just for kids anymore—it’s the perfect excuse for grown-ups to get creative, host unforgettable gatherings, and step into a new persona for a night. Here at My Pampered Life Seattle, we’ve curated a collection of festive décor, cozy-but-chic apparel, and whimsical accessories to help you celebrate in style. In this guide, you’ll find everything from trending costumes to décor ideas, plus our best tips for throwing a memorable Halloween party this year. I'm throwing two!
✨ What’s Trending for Halloween 2025
Costumes & Style:
This year’s top looks are all about personality with a twist. Pinterest reports an uptick in insect-inspired costumes (moths, dragonflies, butterflies) with iridescent wings and textures. Spirit Halloween’s forecast points to Pink-O-Ween glam witches, supernatural K-Pop vibes, nostalgic throwbacks (Wednesday, Fantastic Four, Jurassic Park) and showgirl glitz (think feathers, sequins and Taylor-Swift-on-tour energy).
Our tip: Start with a versatile base piece from your closet—a black dress, jumpsuit or soft romantic blouse from our collection—and layer on accessories like our chandelier earrings, dragonfly hair clips, or a dramatic cape to instantly transform your look.
Décor & Home Design:
2025’s décor trends lean “haunted but high-style”: maximalist layers of moody florals, vintage frames, and sculptural pumpkins. Mix black iron urns, mossy textures and flickering candles for a chic yet spooky setting. Our French Country planters and Park Hill urns double as eerie-elegant centerpieces when filled with dried branches or black feathers.
Food & Candy:
Creative snacks are taking center stage: mummy hot dogs, jack-o’-lantern empanadas, eyeball pasta, and Halloween-themed charcuterie boards. Set up your sweets in vintage apothecary jars or skull bowls for a decorative (and Instagram-worthy) candy station.

🕯️ How to Host a Memorable Halloween Party
1. Choose a Cohesive Theme
Go beyond orange and black. Try “Haunted Garden” with mossy greens and deep purples, “Gothic Glam” with black velvet and gold accents, or “Neon Glow” with blacklight-reactive décor. Our iron garden trellis or French Country planters make dramatic entryway pieces—just add faux cobwebs and up-lighting.
2. Design the Flow
Create clear zones: a photo area with props, a food & drink station, and a cozy lounge. Use our urns and planters as anchor points for signage or floral displays. Dim the lights and layer in candles (battery or real) for instant ambiance.
3. Food & Drink Ideas
Serve a mix of playful and hearty bites. Think pumpkin-shaped pizzas, “witch’s fingers” breadsticks, spooky charcuterie boards and “Witch’s Brew” punch (non-alcoholic or spiked). Label dishes with creative names on chalkboard tags.
4. Activities & Entertainment
Host a costume contest with categories like Most Creative, Best Duo and Most Glam. Set up a selfie wall with moody backdrops and our decorative pieces for props. For adults, add a tarot-reading corner or spooky trivia game; for kids, try pumpkin decorating or glow-in-the-dark face painting.
5. Logistics & Safety
Send invites early and clearly note the dress code or theme. Map your lighting and extension cords to keep walkways safe. Prep cleanup stations ahead of time to make the end of the night easy.
