Autumn is almost here, so if you are planning an event for September, October, or November, now is a good time to think about your colour scheme. At Kenza Creations, we are seeing a move towards richer shades this year, but with a few unexpected colours joining the usual autumn palette.
Current autumn 2026 interiors are highlighting burgundy, rust, caramel, dark green, yellow and light blue, while wedding colour forecasts are also pointing towards deep plum, forest green and terracotta. These shades can work beautifully for event table decor, whether you are planning a wedding, birthday celebration or formal dinner.
Which colours are leading the way?
Here are some of the combinations we think are worth considering this autumn:
Burgundy and cream
Burgundy adds depth without making a table feel too dark. Pair it with cream linen and soft candlelight for an elegant evening look.
- Rust and caramel
Want something warmer? Rust and caramel create a cosy autumn feel, particularly when combined with natural textures and seasonal flowers.
- Forest green and ivory
Deep green remains a strong choice for autumn. It works well with ivory, brass and wood, giving the table a natural yet sophisticated appearance.
- Plum and terracotta
If you want something a little less traditional, try combining deep plum with terracotta. It brings colour and warmth to the table without relying on the familiar orange-and-brown combination.
Do autumn tables have to be dark?
Not at all.
Light blue is one of the more surprising colours appearing in autumn 2026 collections. It can soften deeper shades such as burgundy or dark green and stop the overall palette from feeling too heavy.
The same goes for yellow. A muted or warm yellow can be introduced through candles, flowers or small decorative details rather than used across the entire table.
How can you bring these colours together?
You do not need to choose one colour and use it everywhere. Pick a main shade, add one or two supporting colours and then bring them through your linen, tableware, flowers, and smaller details.
At Kenza Creations, we can help you put those elements together so your event table decor feels seasonal without looking overdone.
