Spooky-cute, not scary
Halloween arches don’t have to be frightening. The orange-black-cream palette says Halloween instantly, but with striped pumpkin balloons, cartoon spiders and a little gold fringe it reads fun and festive — great for kids and grown-ups alike. Cream is the secret: it keeps the black from feeling heavy and makes the orange pop in photos.
The Our Pumpkin palette mixes pumpkin orange, black and cream in mixed sizes, made for playful Halloween accents.

Building the Our Pumpkin look
The photo shows two big columns of orange and black with cream accents, striped pumpkin balloons scattered through, a pair of spider balloons, orange starburst foils at the top and gold fringe curtains hanging inside the opening. To recreate it, keep black and orange in chunky clusters rather than stripes, place the novelty balloons at eye level, and hang a gold fringe curtain behind the arch for an instant photo wall. Mini pumpkins and lanterns at the base (styling props) finish it.
Stylist tipFor a porch, keep the arch under the roof overhang — rain and direct afternoon sun both shorten balloon life.
