Rustic Furniture: A Touch of Nature
The foundation of any great autumn event starts with the right furniture. Rustic furniture, with its natural wood tones and organic textures, is ideal for capturing the essence of the season. Think wooden coffee tables, rustic sofas, and sturdy benches that evoke the feel of a cosy countryside gathering. The natural, earthy tones of rustic furniture create a warm and inviting atmosphere, making your guests feel right at home. To enhance the theme further, consider opting for customizable seat pads for rustic cube and bench seats in autumnal colours such as pumpkin or mink velour and brown leatherette, adding a personalised touch that complements the seasonal theme perfectly. Pair these pieces with soft, textured cushions and throws in autumnal colours and faux fur to add comfort and style.

Autumn Trees: Bringing the Outdoors In
What better way to celebrate autumn than by incorporating the season’s most iconic element—trees. Hiring artificial autumn trees, complete with rich red, orange, and yellow foliage, can instantly transform any venue. These trees add height and drama to your space, creating focal points that draw the eye and set the scene. Whether you opt for a few strategically placed trees or a full forest, this decor element will infuse your event with the enchanting beauty of autumn. Here’s a closer look at the various sizes we offer and how they can be used to enhance your autumn events.
6ft Autumn Trees: The Perfect Touch of Elegance
Our 6ft autumn trees are ideal for adding a touch of elegance to your event. These smaller trees are versatile and can be used in various ways to create a cosy, inviting atmosphere. Place them at the entrance to welcome guests with a burst of autumnal colour, or use them to line walkways, creating a magical path that leads to your main event space. Their compact size also makes them perfect for adding height to table centrepieces, allowing your guests to enjoy the beauty of autumn up close without obstructing their view.
3m Autumn Trees: Create an Intimate Setting
For those looking to make a bolder statement, our 3m autumn trees are the perfect choice. These medium-sized trees can be used to create intimate areas within larger spaces. Consider placing them around seating areas to give guests the feeling of being nestled in an autumn forest. They can also be used to frame key areas of your event, such as the stage or dining area, drawing attention to the most important parts of your celebration.
3.2m Canopy Trees: A Stunning Overhead Display
Our 3.2m canopy trees are designed to create a breathtaking overhead display that will leave your guests in awe. These trees feature a wide canopy that can be used to define spaces or create a ceiling of autumn leaves that hovers above your guests. Imagine hosting a dinner under a canopy of golden leaves, with the warm glow of lights filtering through the branches. These trees are perfect for creating a sense of intimacy in larger venues or for bringing the beauty of nature indoors.
4m Autumn Trees: Command Attention
When you want to make a statement, our 4m autumn trees are the way to go. These towering trees command attention and can be used as focal points throughout your event space. Place them in the centre of the room to create a dramatic centrepiece that draws the eye, or use them to anchor different areas of your event, such as the dance floor or stage. Their height and grandeur make them ideal for large venues, where they can fill the space with the rich colours and textures of autumn.

Giant 400cm Tree Trunk: A Bold New Addition
Our newest addition, the giant 400cm tree trunk, is a showstopper that is sure to impress your guests. This massive trunk brings the majesty of an ancient tree into your event space, creating a focal point that is both awe-inspiring and unique. The giant tree trunk can be used in a variety of ways to enhance your decor. Consider using it as a statement piece in your entrance area, where it can set the tone for the rest of your event. It can also be used as a backdrop for photos, creating a stunning visual element that your guests will love.
Copper & Metallic Accents: Adds a Touch of Glamour
Autumn’s palette naturally includes warm metallics, and incorporating copper and metallic accents into your decor is a great way to add a touch of glamour. Copper tolix stools, vases, metallic candle holders, and bronze lanterns filled with glowing pillar candles can bring a subtle sheen that catches the light and enhances the overall ambiance. These accents work beautifully against the rustic backdrop of wood and foliage, adding depth and sophistication to your event decor.

Cosy Mood Lighting: Setting the Scene
Lighting plays a crucial role in setting the mood for any event, and in autumn, it’s all about creating a cosy, intimate atmosphere. Soft, warm lighting is key to achieving this effect. String festoon lights draped over beams, fairy lights intertwined with foliage, uplighters set to a warm amber and flickering candles in lanterns or vases can all help to bathe your venue in a gentle, welcoming glow. The right lighting not only highlights the beauty of your decor but also makes your guests feel relaxed and comfortable.
Rustic Accessories: Finishing Touches
The final flourish in your autumn decor comes from the thoughtful use of rustic accessories. Hessian table runners, wooden apple crates, log slices, and seasonal wreaths are just a few examples of items that can tie your theme together. Think about incorporating natural elements like pinecones and dried leaves into your table settings or centrepieces. These small touches add character and charm, making your event feel cohesive and well thought out.
Autumn offers a wealth of inspiration for event decor, and with the right elements, you can create a stunning and memorable experience for your guests. By combining rustic furniture, autumn trees, metallic accents, cosy lighting, and charming accessories, you’ll capture the spirit of the season and leave a lasting impression.
