Maleficent's Dinner Party

When Maleficent throws a Halloween bash, and decides to invite her baddest buddies, you just know it is going to be a positively decadent and dark affair! Well, that was the inspiration for our very grown up Halloween dinner party.

Some creative friends and I decided to get together and try a few new ideas out, and before we knew it, it turned into a party!

We got dressed up and decided to get into the Halloween vibe.

Maleficent's Halloween dinner party was held in a ramshackle shed (my backyard), and featured a grazing table style setting, with lots of elements perfectly suited for the
big narcissistic personalities of the Villains!

The villains featured were

Maleficent
Evi Queen
Cruella DeVil
Ursula
Jafar
Captain Hook
Dr Faciler

Upon being seated, we were welcomed with rich black forest mini cakes, adorned with a topper featuring their own silhouette. Red wine was poured in personalised glasses and flowed freely. Everyone was impeccably attired for the sporting luxurious and unique headpieces, including breath-taking crowns. It's dressing up, grown-up style!

Our make up artist Samantha did an excellent job of creating a look for our us which was reminiscent of each villain invited.

We feasted on a lavish assortment of lamb rack, cured meats and fruits. Decayed flowers and withered branches decorated the table, together with a myriad of candles to light the dark space. Large, shiny candelabras provided a nice contrast. Velvet placemats, frayed, created a grungy yet luxe touch.

Of course, it was only expected that we would be posing for a few selfies, first checking the magic mirror on how fair we were. A mesh backdrop with custom balloons also provided a suitable spot for photos.

When dinner was over, we indulged in a myriad of rich desserts, including cake and toffee apples.
