October Atmosphere: Rich Textures & Warm Hues for Fall Events

As the leaves shift and the light softens, October brings a rich palette and cozy textures that are perfect for weddings, galas, and corporate dinners. At GBS Linens, we’ve curated seasonal linen selections and style ideas to help you design tablescapes that feel fall‑forward and effortlessly elegant.
1. Choose Fabrics That Feel Like Fall
- Cambria – This natural‑woven look gives that autumn “linen” feel, with tones like Cocoa, Adobe, Natural and Latte.
- Lamour – The elegant matte satin with subtle luster; great for accenting tables in, for example, Pumpkin or Bordeaux.
- Jute – A warm, textured neutral fabric perfect for organic or rustic events.
2. Fall Color Pairings We Love for October
- Cambria in “Adobe” paired with Lamour in “Pumpkin” for a warm, modern harvest look.
- Jute in “Wheat” layered under napkins in Lamour “Bordeaux” to add depth and elegance.
- Lamour in “Bright Champagne” combined with Cambria “Cocoa” for upscale evening receptions.

3. Styling Tips for October Events
- For outdoor barn weddings: Use Jute for the main drape, add Cambria napkins in Adobe, and layer a Lamour accent tablecloth on your sweetheart or cake table for contrast.
- For crisp city gala: Choose Lamour in Bordeaux for a dramatic base, pair with Champagne napkins, and add metallic flatware for a luxe impression.
- For thanksgiving‑style corporate dinners: Adobe Cambria with Jute runners creates a grounded, welcoming tone, ideal for large round tables.
4. Logistics & Planning Notes
October remains busy for events. Book your linens early, and consider layering textures to adapt to cooler evenings. GBS Linens’ nationwide facilities and full‑service delivery mean you can secure your fabrics and avoid last‑minute rushes.
