Glam up your spooky soiree this year with some dramatic, gothic-inspired finds! Here are a few favorites from around the web...

1. Dark Secret Black Goblet Candles ($32/set of 4 at Plum Party)
How cool are these?! They’d make for a gorgeous fireplace mantle or table centerpiece display… Arrange them on a tray and decorate the area around the stems with decorative strands of black beads and crystals. Have a few Halloween parties to attend? Embellish each goblet with a bright orange ribbon and pair with a little boxes of matches wrapped with Halloween-themed scrapbook paper. Voila!  4 instant – and super creative – hostess gifts! (Each candle is 7" tall with a 12 hour burn time.)

2. Glittered Chandelier Kit ($29.99 at marthastewartcrafts.com)
This ultra-glamorous & bewitching chandelier from Martha Stewart Crafts shimmers with Black Onyx glitter. Each DIY kit comes with 2 interlocking chandelier pieces, glitter, glittering glue, glue applicator, and monofilament for hanging.

3. Black Velvet Flocked Iris Mirror ($42 at shopplasticland.com)
A ring of black flowers adorns this gothic oval vanity mirror, with molded Irises covered in a soft black velvet flocking. This piece can definitely add a splash of drama to your pad year-round, but with a price of only $42, splurging on it for a cool new addition to your seasonal décor isn’t out of the question either!

4. & 5. Battery-operated Black Drip Candles ($19/set of 2) & Midnight Black Candelabra ($24)
This Midnight Black Candle Holder is constructed of powdercoated aluminum with a glossy black finish. Pair with battery-operated candles crafted from real black wax for a spooky-yet-safe Halloween centerpiece!

6. & 7. The glam factor created by this dramatic black feather garland set and black feather wreath is reminiscent of bold film noir. I'm thinking that this look is the perfect starting point for an "Old Hollywood Horror Movie" or "Black Dahlia" party theme! ($29-$54 at Pottery Barn)
