1. Test tubes
It doesn’t get much better than the chilling beauty and simplicity of this arrangement. The test tubes are perfect for evoking memories of scary stories about mad scientists and the delicate red flowers are reminiscent of the color of blood. The addition of black dahlias and dark feathers add a sobering elegance and skeleton hands are the cherry on top of this eerie, yet beautiful, arrangement.
2. Black and orange
As far as Halloween flower arrangements go, black and orange will always be a hit. This idea showcases a black mason jar brimming with artificial floral pieces such as spidery black dahlias, orange pomegranates, green foliage, and skeleton hands peeking out. The mix of textures and shapes help break up the piece and keep it interesting, so be sure to grab a variety of grab elements when you hit up your craft store.
3. Blood red
This stunning showstopper features a wild array of flowers emerging from a skull flanked by two skeleton hand candlesticks holding black candles. The spray of blood red flowers is made up of smoke bush, ‘Black Beauty’ roses, allium, and carnivorous cobra lilies and is set in a glass vessel inside a skull. It’s ominous and intriguing, the perfect addition to any apartment in need of the Halloween spirit.
4. Dusty Miller and calla lilies
A sturdy stone urn anchors this gothic and foreboding arrangement. A tangled mass of dusty Miller is punctuated by jet black calla lilies radiating in all directions and clusters of silver berzillia berries sprouting from the chaos. This option is a great way to take up visual space and is sure to be a focal point in any room.
5. Roses and spiders
Though no one could accuse this arrangement of subtlety, we love it for its adaptability. The fun in creating a Halloween flower arrangement is in making it your own, and this one provides a straightforward formula for you to riff off of. Take any vase you like, fill with monochromatic roses, and add spiders and/or snakes as you see fit. While we love the black and white scheme, the options are endless.
6. Webbed dahlias
This one follows the same pattern as her sister above. Use a simple vase (black adds some classic Halloween drama) and fill with a variety of rich red flowers, dahlias and roses take main stage here. Add some panty hose fibers or webbing from a Halloween or craft store and your arrangement is complete!
7. Dark purples
For a more subtle vibe, layer purples on purples. The darkness is eye catching and makes one think of the coming decline of winter (aka death) while the layers of textures creates interest. The plants used here are fronds of broom corn, purple hazel leaves, blackish dahlias, red ornamental grass, and purple artichokes.
8. Only black calla lilies
If you’re looking for an easy arrangement, it doesn’t get much better than black calla lilies. Sleek and clean, calla lilies are an elegant choice, now turned sinister due to their inky blackness. The rich black color (somehow even darker in their centers) speaks to the Halloween season but in an easy and elevated way.
9. Wood flowers and skulls
Decorative black and orange wood flowers with artificial floral accents work together to make an exciting and festive arrangement, but the plastic skulls added to the vase really add that extra pizzazz we know our maximalists are looking for. After all, if you’re going to do a Halloween flower arrangement, why not go all the way?
10. Dark and moody
For that Haunted Mansion dark elegance sort of look, we recommend starting with something crystal (or crystal-looking) like this compote vase. This is add a level of refinement that we can build upon. Here pampas grass, black dahlias, dried poppy pods, and chocolate laceflower are combined to create a moody and luxurious arrangement to welcome Halloween in an elevated way.
11. All black
When in doubt, black is The Way. All black is an easy way to channel the Halloween spirit while keeping your foliage and flower options open. Like in all monochrome ideas, texture and balance become very important due to the lack of color contrast, so keep that in mind when designing.
12. Candy corn and roses
If dark and brooding Halloween flower arrangement ideas aren’t your cup of tea, try this cheerful and bright candy corn concept. A vase inside of a white pumpkin creates the perfect vessel for soft pink roses with sprigs of brown dried foliage and festive sparkly candy corn sticks.
13. Heart vase
An eerie vase is a perfect way to make any bouquet seem creepy, and we love this heart vase for that reason. Pink and blood red flowers suddenly take on a chilling feel. Sprigs of flowers trailing down now remind us of blood flowing from a beating heart. The whole ensemble is charming until you focus on the vase and we love that.
