Repast Services in New Orleans That Bring Comfort and Class
April 26, 2025
Big, bold, and unforgettable—that’s what 2025 is serving up in the world of event decor. From immersive color stories to jaw-dropping ceiling installations, this year is all about creating experiences, not just pretty tablescapes. And here at The Four Columns, where Southern charm meets tailored sophistication, we’re turning these trends into unforgettable moments for every celebration we host.
Whether you’re planning a wedding, corporate event, or repast, here’s what’s turning heads in the world of event decor this year.
Color Rules Everything This Year
Say goodbye to the beige buffet. 2025 is drenched in color—and we’re here for it. Think rich jewel tones like emerald and sapphire paired with warm terracotta and mustard. This isn’t just about aesthetics. Color sets the mood for your entire event.
Want energy and excitement? Go bold with hot pink and electric blue lighting. Looking for romance and intimacy? Layer in deep burgundy with champagne accents. At The Four Columns, we help clients build their color palette from the ground up—drapes, florals, table settings, and even custom lighting options.
Ready to explore how we use color across our event spaces and packages? Let’s chat.
Ceiling Decor Is the New Centerpiece
Guests look up—and gasp. That’s the goal.
One of the hottest event styles this year is dramatic ceiling design. Suspended florals, fabric waves, hanging lanterns, and floral chandeliers are turning ceilings into the ultimate focal point. Especially in our Charlet Ballroom, which boasts the height and space to really deliver the wow factor.
Lighting is key here. Whether it’s soft uplighting or dramatic spotlights on ceiling décor, we’ve got the team and partners to handle both.
See how our wedding and reception services incorporate these design elements.
Texture, Texture, Texture
If 2024 was about clean lines, 2025 is all about touchable texture. Think velvet napkins, linen table runners, rattan backdrops, and layered tablescapes.
Even subtle touches like textured charger plates or velvet lounge seating (yes, we offer custom rentals) can bring your event design to life. This year’s latest decorations aren’t just about how they look—they’re about how they feel.
Planning a repast gathering? Textured design adds warmth and comfort while keeping the focus on what matters most.
Statement Installations and Photo Moments
Every guest is carrying a camera. So why not give them something worth posting?
From custom neon signs to oversized floral walls to branded installations for corporate events, 2025 is about making a statement—literally. These double as photo ops and interactive décor, making your event share-worthy long after the lights go down.
Interested in adding this to your corporate event or wedding? Our team collaborates with local designers to create custom displays that fit your vibe—whether that’s elegant, modern, whimsical, or NOLA-flavored flair.
Lounge Areas That Feel Like Home
Formal dining has its place—but in 2025, guests also want comfort and conversation.
One of the fastest-growing event decor trends is the addition of intimate lounge areas. Picture plush sofas, soft throws, cocktail tables with florals, and cozy corners where guests can relax and connect.
This is especially popular for wedding receptions and celebration of life gatherings, creating the kind of atmosphere where people feel cared for and comfortable.
Floral Goes Sculptural
Classic florals? Always welcome. But this year, sculptural designs are taking center stage.
Think tall, asymmetrical arrangements and unexpected greenery—like pampas grass, orchids, and tropical leaves. Pair these with structured metal vases or stacked glass for a fresh, modern look.
Hosting at The Four Columns? Our event team can coordinate with your florist to make sure your blooms look stunning in our spaces, whether you’re planning a corporate gathering or an intimate repast.
Technology-Enhanced Experiences
It’s not just DJs using tech anymore. Projection mapping, LED screens, and motion graphics are becoming part of the décor itself.
Imagine your wedding monogram or event logo projected onto the ceiling of the Toscano Room. Or custom video backdrops for your corporate stage. At The Four Columns, we partner with trusted AV teams to bring these high-impact ideas to life.
Sustainable Design with Style
Eco-conscious choices are more than just a trend—they’re here to stay. And in 2025, sustainable event decor doesn’t mean sacrificing style.
Reusable linens, upcycled furniture, locally sourced florals, and biodegradable tableware are some of the ways we help our clients reduce their footprint while keeping the aesthetic on point.
