This tablescape begins with layering a white tablecloth with gauzy cheesecloth to mimic spiderwebs.
I wanted a garden feel to the table so I brought in a metal greenhouse from my patio that I like to fill with plants and used it to make my centerpiece.
I filled it with 2 skulls. One I placed on a small riser and the other I laid on it's side. I layered in greenery that I had from other projects and filled in all around the two skulls. I added black ferns and bright green pompom flowers to vary the color and textures of the arrangement.
I added spiders and tealight candles to complete the spider garden greenhouse.
Next, I added small bird cages on each side of the greenhouse with tealights to echo the green house feel but also adding light to the table. I added lots of spiders in all different sizes around the table and then draped some wired faux moss that I got from Hobby Lobby all around the table to give it an overgrown garden feel.
For each place setting I added green plates, green wine glasses and black utensils and topped each plate with a plastic spider dish. I rolled up napkins into a simple swirl and placed them in each spider dish for a spot of green to complement the greens in the tablescape.
SIDEBOARD: For the sideboard I created recurring elements to tie the whole spider garden theme together. I started with an iron wall hanging that I moved from my living room into my dinng room and added a large spider to the middle of it and weaved in more of the wired faux moss. I added a tower of three skulls as a focal point and added the same greenery as the centerpiece. Then I filled in around it with more bird cages with tealights and candles and more spiders.
WREATH AND CHANDELIER: I made a wreath using the same color scheme and repeating elements to tie it to the tablescape. I also draped the wire faux moss to the chandelier and hung three spiders dropping down on string webs to give the whole table the appearance of movement.
