A witchy dinner match for the Sanderson Sisters!

From the straightforward, witchy menu to the Sanderson Sisters decor, that is one in all my favourite events I’ve ever hosted. Right here’s how I hosted my Hocus Pocus feast, recipes and all!
I put a spell on you and now you’re mine!
The Ambiance
My inspiration for the eating room was the Sanderson Sisters’ cottage with numerous lanterns, candles, a cauldron, and even an vintage broomstick hanging on the wall – identical to within the film! I used my indoor flood lights to scrub the wall for the reason that witches’ magic is inexperienced. I simply love an excuse to make use of moody lighting and the purple and inexperienced lights added a lot to this celebration.
The Indicators
We have now to speak about my attractive indicators! I collaborated with Enchanted Farmhouse once more and I’m so glad I did. Anamieke is a big Disney lover and has all kinds of enjoyable Disney indicators, huge and small, on her Etsy retailer, together with these two Hocus Pocus designs that she made for me. And sure, this is similar artist who made the indicators for my Little Mermaid and Jurassic Park events. The Hocus Pocus porch leaner was a very enjoyable picture op!
The Spellbook
Once I noticed this duplicate of Winifred’s evil spellbook on Etsy, I had excessive hopes, however when it arrived, there was squealing. It’s ten instances higher in individual! You possibly can select the dimensions and the kind of paper (I received the 8×6 Deckle paper for reference) and it’s an absolute treasure. I even had my friends signal the spellbook on the finish of the night for a souvenir for myself. So magical!
The Desk
The colour scheme for the desk was purple, inexperienced, and crimson to indicate every of the Sanderson Sisters. I received these wonderful customized paper lanterns from The Celebration Studio on Etsy for the centerpiece together with a duplicate black flame candle. That’s proper, we lit the black flame candle and lived to inform the story. You possibly can select the peak of the candle (7 inches, no distant for me) and you’ll customise the lanterns by selecting which scenes you need on them!
The Flowers
I styled small crimson, purple, and inexperienced floral preparations to go together with the theme. Extra particularly, I used a mixture of purple statice, dianthus, crimson alstroemeria, inexperienced carnations, and Queen Anne. You possibly can see on this reel that I initially organized a bunch of bud vases however determined that it made the desk too busy so I ended up with simply two on the desk and a bunch of beautiful Hocus Pocus preparations round the home.
The Place Setting
For the place settings, I used my Emma dishes from Pottery Barn topped with Sanderson Sisters bookmark souvenirs from Etsy for every of my friends to take dwelling. I swear, I’ve by no means bought this many issues from Etsy for a single celebration however what can I say? Etsy is a Hocus Pocus celebration mecca! I lastly had an excuse to make use of my spooky black flatware and I styled inexperienced satin napkins to seem like the witch’s inexperienced magic arising out of cocktail glasses.
The Mugs
For water glasses, I used these unimaginable handmade Halloween mugs by Marbleized Ceramics. Michael is an artist who makes gorgeous pottery right here in Dallas and I used to be so excited to collaborate with him on this celebration! I believed the old school pottery mugs have been good as a nod to the beginning of the film, which begins in 1693.
Different Decor
I styled one aspect desk with a black cat for Binx and a large tombstone for Billy. I additionally added some spooky decorations round my home, like spiderwebs over my mirror.

The Meals
This witchy menu felt extremely straightforward to do as a hostess! I made the cupcakes the day earlier than and began the stew 4 earlier than the celebration. All I needed to do proper earlier than my friends arrived was make the salad, which implies I didn’t truly need to prepare dinner a factor as soon as the celebration began!
