Fall-ing for Color: Top Color Palettes and Rental Pairings for Autumn Events
As the leaves start their yearly wardrobe change, Fall 2024 is bringing a fresh burst of color trends that are anything but boring. Whether you’re planning a wedding, a corporate shindig, or just an epic party, this season’s hues are here to take your décor game to the next level. From cozy, fireside neutrals that make you want to curl up with a blanket to bold marigolds that bring a splash of sunshine to autumn days, we’ve got the scoop on how to mix, match, and style these shades with event rentals that’ll have your guests raving.
Fireside Neutrals
Imagine being wrapped in a soft blanket by the fire, hot cocoa in hand. Now, channel that warmth into your event. Soft browns, creamy beiges, and cozy grays set the perfect tone. Picture plush velvet seating like our Ansel Velvet Grey Accent Chair or Mod Boho 2.0 Natural Club Chair, complemented by wooden accents like our Large Carved Wood Side Table, Stump Stool, and Sequoia Coffee Table—pieces that evoke the charm of a rustic cabin. Opt for textured linens like the Gracie Pearl White linen from Reverie Social and the Seersucker Flax Napkin to add a touch of pattern and interest to your table. To complete the look, incorporate natural elements such as fruits, vegetables, dried flowers, and, of course, candles for that perfect glow.
Marigold Moments
If fall had a cheerleader, it would be marigold. This vibrant yellow exudes positive energy without being overpowering. Marigold tablecloths? Absolutely! Our top picks include the Millie Vine Buttercup linen, Tuscany Curry Napkin, and Yellow Plaid Napkin, which can be balanced with neutral linens like our Belfast Flax or Ibiza White linens for a harmonious look. If you prefer your linens understated, consider incorporating marigold-tinted tabletop items like our Kaleb Honey Stoneware and Debutante Amber Goblet for an extra pop of color. Accentuate with marigold blooms such as sunflowers and chrysanthemums, and top it off with gold or brass details like our Arezzo Gold Flatware, Charlotte Gold Stemware, and candle votives to keep the look refined. Pair this sunny hue with terracotta and earthy browns, using elements like our Tondo Charger or Fruitwood Bentwood Chair for added depth.
Mossy Green
Mossy green brings the serenity of the outdoors in—without the bugs. This lush, earthy shade embodies the essence of fall. Incorporate deep greens that evoke an enchanted forest with linens like Reverie Social’s Velvet Evergreen, Magnolia Fog, and Rustic Moss Plaid. Blend in ivory, natural, and silver tones with tabletop items and chairs such as our Finezza Cream China, Hourglass Natural Chair, Charlotte Platinum Stemware, and Antique SS Flatware. Complete the forest vibe with potted plants, moss-covered centerpieces, and woodsy elements that make your space feel alive.
Nature's Palette
Let the changing leaves guide your event’s color scheme. Fall foliage hues capture the season’s beauty with rich reds, oranges, and yellows. Picture the deep reds of maple leaves, the burnt oranges of Velvet Rust and Velvet Hazel, and the golden yellows of Madeline Marigold and Nora Celadon. These colors instantly add warmth and vibrancy to any setting. To enhance the autumnal feel, layer these colors with natural textures—think Tweed runners, wooden charger plates like our Tondo Charger and Rustico Grey Charger, and wooden chairs like our Rattan Chair and Louis Stone Washed Chair. Finish the look with elegant flatware such as our Charleston Champagne Flatware and Waverly White & Gold China for a cozy, inviting atmosphere reminiscent of an autumn walk in the woods.
Lavish Merlot
Deep, rich, and a touch mysterious, merlot adds a sense of luxury to any event. Pair this deep wine red with gold, blush pink, and purples for a color palette that’s as opulent as it is inviting. For seating, consider wood chairs like our Sven Natural Wishbone Chair or our Berry Velvet R+R Swivel Chair to create a luxe yet rustic vibe. Dress your tables in rich burgundy linens like our Lamour Nu Burgundy linen or Reverie Social’s Mariposa Garden linen, and accent with blush pink, sage green, and ivory rentals for a romantic setting. Decorate with dark red roses, gold accents, and tapered candles to complete the look.
Black & White
Black and white is a timeless color combination that remains fresh and sophisticated. Crisp white, jet black, and silver accents create a sleek, modern aesthetic. Incorporate this pairing into your fall event with seating options like our Selma Spool Chair or Zion Gold & Black Chair. Extend this chic palette to a lounge area with our Astrid Black Velvet Sofa, paired with pieces like our White Boucle Swivel Chair, Leon Round Black Coffee Table, Rome Black Fluted Side Tables, Cleo Black Ostrich Banquette, and Black Pillow Package for a modern look. To avoid flatness on your tabletops, use textured linens and napkins such as our Calusa White linen and Velvet Black Napkins.
Unexpected Pastels
Who says pastels are just for spring? This fall, pastels are making a sweet comeback. Soft pinks, baby blues, mint greens, and lavender tones, grounded with neutrals, create a fresh and airy palette. Choose light-colored linens like our Ibiza Celery, Velvet Blush, Evelyn Grey, Seagrass Aloe, and Callie Sky Blue Napkin. Add dimension to your tables with layered china like our Kaleb Cotton Stoneware and Azalea Blue China. Pair whimsical florals with clear or white vases, textured glassware from our Koda Ribbed Glassware Collection, and the charming Charleston Champagne Flatware for a soft, dreamy look. Balance the sweetness with natural wood elements like our Margaux Natural Chair, Winnie Whitewashed Charger, or Sven Natural Wishbone Chair to ensure your pastels feel right at home this fall.
Fall 2024 is all about playing with color and having fun with your event’s vibe. Whether you’re leaning into the warm, cozy feels of fireside neutrals, going bold with marigold, or keeping it classy with black and white, there’s a color trend this season that’s just begging to be the star of your next gathering. So go ahead, mix, match, and make it yours—because fall is almost here, and it’s time to celebrate in style!
