Gothic Floral Arrangements
Add a touch of dark elegance to your dining table or mantle with a gothic floral arrangement. By taking cheap, colorful faux flowers from the dollar store and giving them a dark, moody makeover, you can create a sophisticated centerpiece that looks like it belongs in a vampire’s parlor.
Buy inexpensive fake roses, carnations, and faux greenery. Spray paint them entirely matte black, deep plum, or blood red. Once dry, you can lightly dust the edges of the petals with metallic gold or silver paint for a touch of luxury. Arrange the dark blooms in a black vase, a tarnished silver teapot, or even a hollowed-out craft pumpkin painted black. Add plastic spiders, faux feathers, and dry twigs to the arrangement to give it an organic, eerie, and overgrown texture.
