Whether you're crafting a spooktacular centrepiece, decorating your home for Halloween or creating something boo-tiful for the autumn season, the team at Florist Wedding & Craft Supplies have what you need. Their autumn and Halloween stock is massive this year, so skip the standard high street shops and explore this hidden gem in Cheadle instead. You'll be boo-mazed at what you'll find. The secret to doing Halloween on a budget is simple: buy the components, not the finished article. Some of the small Halloween decorations on the shelves are around £2.50, the kind of thing you'd easily pay £15 for at a big chain store. Here are three ideas to get you started. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/3b/48/3b482e3b-bd85-4cd0-bf5d-b4c28e10d60b/content/images/2026/10/DSC02969.jpg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/3b/48/3b482e3b-bd85-4cd0-bf5d-b4c28e10d60b/content/images/2026/10/DSC02972.jpg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/3b/48/3b482e3b-bd85-4cd0-bf5d-b4c28e10d60b/content/images/2026/10/DSC02980.jpg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/3b/48/3b482e3b-bd85-4cd0-bf5d-b4c28e10d60b/content/images/2026/10/DSC02983.jpg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/3b/48/3b482e3b-bd85-4cd0-bf5d-b4c28e10d60b/content/images/2026/10/DSC03013.jpg) ### The autumn door wreath Start with a wreath base, add faux leaves in rust and amber, a few berries and a length of hessian ribbon. It will be back on your door every autumn for years, which is more than can be said for the shop bought one. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/3b/48/3b482e3b-bd85-4cd0-bf5d-b4c28e10d60b/content/images/2026/10/DSC02975.jpg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/3b/48/3b482e3b-bd85-4cd0-bf5d-b4c28e10d60b/content/images/2026/10/DSC02978.jpg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/3b/48/3b482e3b-bd85-4cd0-bf5d-b4c28e10d60b/content/images/2026/10/DSC02984-1.jpg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/3b/48/3b482e3b-bd85-4cd0-bf5d-b4c28e10d60b/content/images/2026/10/DSC02987.jpg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/3b/48/3b482e3b-bd85-4cd0-bf5d-b4c28e10d60b/content/images/2026/10/DSC03004.jpg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/3b/48/3b482e3b-bd85-4cd0-bf5d-b4c28e10d60b/content/images/2026/10/DSC03007.jpg) ### The spooktacular centrepiece Mix artificial pumpkins, dark foliage and a couple of candles for a table that says dinner party rather than supermarket aisle. Never leave candles burning unattended, particularly near dried foliage. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/3b/48/3b482e3b-bd85-4cd0-bf5d-b4c28e10d60b/content/images/2026/10/DSC02985.jpg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/3b/48/3b482e3b-bd85-4cd0-bf5d-b4c28e10d60b/content/images/2026/10/DSC03001.jpg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/3b/48/3b482e3b-bd85-4cd0-bf5d-b4c28e10d60b/content/images/2026/10/DSC03004-1.jpg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/3b/48/3b482e3b-bd85-4cd0-bf5d-b4c28e10d60b/content/images/2026/10/DSC03010.jpg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/3b/48/3b482e3b-bd85-4cd0-bf5d-b4c28e10d60b/content/images/2026/10/DSC03012-1.jpg) ### The boo-tiful bouquet Deep reds, burnt oranges and a touch of black make a moody arrangement that works from Halloween right through to Bonfire Night. Fresh flowers arrive from Holland every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, so time your visit for the freshest stems. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/3b/48/3b482e3b-bd85-4cd0-bf5d-b4c28e10d60b/content/images/2026/10/DSC03014.jpg) ### Face your fears Feeling a little spooked by crafting?
