Tabletop Tricks

• Keep your color scheme simple—orange and black food and decorations go a long way to
set the mood.
• Fill clear glass vases and serving dishes with black lico rice twists, orange jelly beans, candy
corn and chocolate pumpkins.
• For a quick and easy centerpiece, place a small vase inside a larger one and fill the space
between the two with orange jelly beans, black licorice twists and white jelly beans. Fill the
small vase with water and a bouquet of orange gerbera daisies.
• Look for items to create height on the table such as candlesticks, pedestals and vases.
Don’t be afraid to mix glass and silver.
• Hollow out small pumpkins to use as flower vases. You can also cut a large rigid foam
pumpkin in half and fill with ice for beverages.
