When hosting a backyard party we like to go big! And that starts with creating memorable tablescapes at which people can gather to dine and socialize. The foundation of which are your linens, which set the stage for your event design. Today we’re sharing our luxe event linens that will elevate your outdoor celebrations in Nashville. Keep reading to learn about our in-stock rentals, available in a range of on-trend colors and high-end materials.
On Trend Colors
By far the easiest way to choose the best linens for your event tables is considering color. For a backyard party, we recommend one of two options. First, go bold with striking color! In the spring, we love soft pastels that pop against a lush natural setting – say pink or purple. Although dusty hues, like blue, can be equally beautiful. Second, keep it natural! Opting for colors that complement an outdoor space is an easy way to achieve a timeless look. Consider a crisp white or light shades of brown, like driftwood or taupe. More recently greens have been a hit, in sage and moss.
Luxurious Materials
In addition to colors, the type of materials you feature can help set the tone for your event. Our selection of luxe event linens includes a range of materials, from soft velvets to buttery satin and more! Here are just a few of our current favorites!
Velvet Event Linens
Velvet linens are the latest and greatest fad in event linen rentals. Largely because it is a simple yet effective way to feature texture at your tables. And it’s available in a huge array of gorgeous colors! For a backyard gathering, we recommend bright colors like Light Pink, Sea Glass, or Fern Velvet. Or, for an especially sophisticated look, opt for one of our etched designs featuring metallic accents. Such as Dusty Blue Etched Velvet or White Etched Velvet.
Satin Linens
Satin linens are a more classic option for tablecloths, but a modern option thanks to the wide range of colors available! The buttery material is light yet has a slight sheen that oozes luxury. During the spring, it is one of our favorite choices – and it will be yours too if you have an appreciation for pastels. Consider colors like Wisteria, Mint, Mediterranean, and Wheat.
Kennedy Linens
With their gorgeous texture, Kennedy Linens are one of our favorite tablecloths for a backyard party. Lightweight and with a natural feel, it is one of the best choices if you’re hosting a laid-back event with an upscale and airy vibe. It comes in a range of natural colors, including Cactus, Fawn, Topaz, and White. Make sure to grab matching napkins – but in a different color!

In a post-pandemic world, the health and happiness of employees is a priority for many companies and business owners. A focus that your team and attendees will appreciate, especially during a conference, convention or corporate summit. Today we’ll share how you can create corporate wellness rooms to help maintain positive and motivated participants!
Create an Ambient Setting
The first step you’ll want to take when creating corporate wellness rooms is selecting a designated area or areas within your event space. We recommend selecting an area that is a ways away from the primary room in use so that your guests can fully escape the hustle and bustle – whether you are hosting a training session or an annual meeting. Once established, pipe and drape can be used to enclose a space. This will help create a more private and ambient setting, in which guests can sit back, relax, and recharge. Choose from a range of beautiful and calming colors, such as black, ivory and white. If you like, you can even designate this area as a quiet or non-tech space!
Lounge Areas
Within your wellness room, you’ll want some comforts that encourage guests to sit and stay for a while. Specifically, lounge areas where people can casually converse or even meditate for a time. Start with cozy neutral or warm colored furniture, like our Bennett Leather Sofa or Henley Grey Velvet Tufted Sofa. Pair it with a set of accent chairs, like our beautiful Gloria Velvet Arm Chairs. Then, finish it off with a plush area rug and a set of matching coffee and side tables. Avoid any pieces that are too contemporary and might give off a cold feeling! Of course, you can also choose from our selection of beautiful lounge packages (we recommend #03 or #26). If you prefer, you can also create smaller areas using our bistro tables and bistro chairs.
Food & Beverage Stations
In addition to helping your guests relax you also want to help them recharge. A scrumptious food and beverage station will help keep them satiated and in tune for a long day of meetings or workshops. Start with an elegant display shelf, like our Black Bar Back Shelf – to store a selection of simple water goblets or other glassware. Nearby, keep refreshing cucumber water or similar beverages in a Glass Beverage Jar. Display snack foods, like fresh fruit or vegetables, in our white family-style service pieces for light on-the-go bites. Accompanied by simple white china! If you’ve been approved for alcoholic beverages, a stylish and well-stocked bar never hurt either.
