As the summer heat gives way to the cooler, golden tones of autumn, couples across the Gulf South are embracing fall wedding season in style. Whether you’re planning an intimate gathering or a grand celebration at The hangar in new orleans, the right linens and tabletop rentals can transform your venue from beautiful to unforgettable. Here’s a closer look at the top rental trends that are shaping event venues in New Orleans — with a spotlight on what’s available at The Hangar 504.
Embracing Rich, Deep Hues
Gone are the days of all-white everything. This fall, we’re seeing couples lean into deeper, bolder color palettes. Burgundy, forest green, navy, and burnt orange are being paired with soft neutrals to create a sense of warmth and sophistication. Consider layering these shades with black accents — such as the 54 x 54 Square Black Polly Linen or Black Spandex High Boy Linen — to give your reception a sleek and modern edge.
Pairing bold linens with elegant lighting or copper centerpieces can elevate the look, especially in spacious event halls in New Orleans that benefit from a dramatic touch.
Versatility with Round Table Linens
Round tables remain a popular choice for weddings due to their ability to encourage conversation and maintain symmetry in a room. Fall weddings are making the most of this by dressing tables in classic whites or layering with textured toppers. For example, 120″, 132″, and 90″ round polyester linen tablecloths (available at The Hangar 504) are excellent bases for layering color, florals, and candles.
These classic white linens offer a blank canvas for any wedding aesthetic — making them perfect for the diverse styles celebrated at event spaces in New Orleans.
Stylish Highboy Tables for Cocktail Hour
Cocktail hours are becoming more intentional and more stylish. Couples are renting 30″ Highboy Round Tables (42in High) and dressing them up with Black Spandex High Boy Linen for a chic, fitted look. These tables offer the perfect opportunity to showcase signature drinks, charcuterie cones, or miniature desserts — especially for receptions held at a modern Hangar wedding venue.
For a pop of contrast, mix in neutral or patterned linens with highboys and set them up near the dance floor or photo booth for an inviting gathering space.
Fitted Table Linens for a Modern Aesthetic
Sleek and tailored is the name of the game this fall. The 6ft Spandex Table Linen is an ideal choice for welcome tables, buffet stations, or bars. Its streamlined appearance eliminates the need for clips or pins and creates a clean, polished look that fits perfectly into contemporary event venues in New Orleans.
When paired with moody lighting or fall florals, these linens enhance the overall design flow of your event and make functional areas look thoughtfully styled.
Blending Function and Beauty with Cocktail Tables
36″ Cocktail Round Tables, which seat 4–6 people, are being used more creatively at weddings. Beyond the traditional use for reception dinners, they’re showing up at lounge areas, dessert bars, and even guestbook corners. At The hangar in new orleans, where large gatherings are common, these multi-use tables offer both convenience and visual balance when dressed in complementary linens.
Layering table runners or adding textured overlays is another way to add dimension without overcomplicating your rental list.
Keeping Things Cost-Effective and Cohesive
Couples today are seeking high impact with smart spending. The great news is that linens like the $9.00 54 x 54 Black Polly Linen or $10.00 90″ Round Tablecloths offer affordability without sacrificing style. When rented in bulk and paired thoughtfully, these pieces bring cohesion to your design without exceeding the budget.
This focus on versatility and value is especially relevant for weddings hosted at large event spaces in New Orleans, where scale matters.
