Choose flowers for a party, a gift for your host or a low table arrangement to go with pumpkins.","For Halloween in the United States you could take orange gerberas in a small vase or make a low arrangement for the party. Pair them with a dark container for atmosphere without crowding the table with decorations. Halloween is October 31.",[13,18,23],{"title":14,"paragraphs":15},"Choosing flowers for Halloween",[16,17],"Orange gerberas are our suggestion for making color the focus. For a darker arrangement you could ask for burgundy carnations and a black container. The contrast with the vase helps create the atmosphere without choosing dark flowers throughout.","For a table with pumpkins and other decorations I would choose a single flower color. This lets the flowers stand out and leaves space for food. If you want locally grown flowers explain where the party will take place and leave room for what the florist can offer that week.",{"title":19,"paragraphs":20},"A gift for your host or flowers for your own party",[21,22],"If you are invited take a small arrangement that comes with its vase. Your host can put it down and carry on welcoming everyone. You could add a card saying “Thanks for having us. We’re looking forward to spending the evening with you.”","If you are setting the table choose a low arrangement and leave space for serving. An example order would be “I would like orange flowers in a dark container for a Halloween table. The arrangement needs to sit below our eye level when we are seated.” Give the dimensions of the free space so the florist can adjust the size.",{"title":24,"paragraphs":25},"Lighted pumpkins and flowers in separate containers",[26,27],"To combine a lighted pumpkin and a bouquet use a battery-operated light in the decoration. Keep decorations away from flames, light bulbs and heaters. LED candles create the lighting effect without putting a flame beside flowers and paper.","Keep the flowers in their own vase beside the pumpkin. You can move each piece and change the water without taking the decoration apart. If you are taking the display to another home plan to transport the container separately from the decorations.",[29,32],{"question":30,"answer":31},"Does Halloween move when October 31 is a weekday?","Halloween stays on October 31. A party might take place the weekend before or after. Use the invitation date when ordering flowers; the Agenda Floral calendar saves the celebration on the 31st.",{"question":33,"answer":34},"What can I ask for if orange gerberas are unavailable?","You can keep the color idea with flowers the florist can offer, or choose burgundy carnations and a dark vase. If the arrangement needs to match a particular table send a photo of the decorations and explain how much room is left. That is more useful than ordering a bouquet by the party name alone.",{"occasionId":36,"countryCode":5},"us-halloween",{"id":36,"category":38,"imageId":39,"name":40,"imageAlt":41,"territoryLabel":42,"sources":43},"occasions","gerbera","Halloween","Coral-orange gerbera against a dark green background","United States · Nationwide",[44,48,52],{"url":45,"label":46,"claim":47},"https:\u002F\u002Fguides.loc.gov\u002Fchronicling-america-halloween","Library of Congress · Halloween: Topics in Chronicling America","Places Halloween on October 31 and documents customs through historic US newspapers.
