Nautical-inspired event design is classic and timeless. Whether you’re talking about clothes, interior design, or party themes – nautical themes are elegant, preppy, and here to stay. There’s just something about the combination of whites, navy, and gold that produces an air of a New England soiree. This event theme is ideal for sweet baby showers, seaside or mainland weddings, and fun corporate events. The possibilities are truly endless when it comes to this fresh nautical color combination. You can go as “theme-y” as you want, or shoot for a more subtle approach. Southern Events Party Rental Company has plenty of nautical-inspired event rentals to have you and your guests feeling as if you’re celebrating oceanside (no matter where you are). Ahoy!
Fresh and crisp whites, such as our Santorini Sofa, paired with sophisticated blue linens (Royal Poly or Midnight Poly, for instance) achieve an elegant and preppy nautical theme – effortlessly and subtly. To really have your event set sail, we recommend bringing in flatware and dinnerware with gold accents. Our Austin Flatware and Kate Polka Dot dishes fit quite nicely here. You can anchor the theme with items like our Navy Rug, aptly named Saylor Sofa or Rory Navy Velvet Chairs for extra seating. The sky really is the limit when it comes to how nautical you want your event to be.

We adore dressing fabulous Nashville area venues in Southern Events rentals, and Long Hollow Gardens is one of our absolute favorites. Long Hollow Gardens is a super unique event venue. It is actually a greenhouse! Couples can achieve that “outdoor wedding” feel with all of the comfort of remaining indoors (think gorgeous summer wedding without all the heat!). Oh, and don’t forget about the exquisite natural light pouring into the venue. On this 35 acre property, you’ll find a vineyard, their Farmhouse Bridal Cottage, and Hearthroom Barn. With enough space for 200 guests, it’s a great venue for weddings and events of all sizes.
Our neutral, natural rentals really shine at Long Hollow Gardens. The Cross-Back Chairs look tailor-made for this venue and are incredibly inviting paired with ivory linens. When outfitting the Greenhouse, we typically stick to neutral color palettes in order to let nature shine. From the Bennett Leather Sofa to the Fruitwood Farm Table, many of our rentals look as if they belong at this one-of-a-kind venue. However, we are not opposed to dreaming up a colorful look with our Saylor Velvet Furniture rentals. We are in love with how this location serves as a backdrop for pretty much any dreamy look a couple could conjure up.

If you are hosting an event in one of Nashville’s finest venues, we’d love to take the rentals off your plate. Send our team a message at info@southerneventsonline.com.

Southern Events recently took part in an Open House at City Winery, and we love how our gorgeous rentals shine at this venue. We used a combination of gold, neutral, and blush to create a luxe feel. Add to that beautiful color combination modern materials like our Acrylic Chairs, Midas Gold Bench, and Gold Furrow Linen, and it was definitely swoon-worthy.
We absolutely adore all the possibilities available at City Winery. Whether you’re going full-on “honky-tonk” or wanting a feminine and modern look, you can make it all happen here.

Pastels are a growing trend in event design this year. If you watched the Oscars, you know it (we are still swooning over Maya Rudolph’s glorious pink gown – among other amazing looks). Pastels were everywhere. Bonus: This trend incorporates itself beautifully in weddings and events. You can make this color scheme work with whichever various themes you’re going for. Classic? Of course. How about “garden charm”, or Southern, or “rustic glam”… yep, you can do that, too! Whimsical, romantic, and even glamorous, pastels will lend an enchanted feel to pretty much any event or wedding.
Often, when people think of pastel color schemes, they think “sweet, traditional, and girly.” That’s definitely not the case anymore! This pastel color scheme can most definitely be luxe and modern. Imagine monochromatic shades of pastel blue – that look is both sleek, modern, and incredibly fresh.
When creating a fresh look with these colors, you can bring in pastel linens, dishes, furniture, or florals. You could also weave pastel colors through your invitations, food (think French macaroons), or wedding party gowns and accessories. If you’re wanting to create a look with pastels, Southern Events Party Rental Company has everything you need – from linens to dishes to coffee tables!
Love pastels and want help incorporating this fresh palette into your next event? Send us a message at info@southerneventsonline.com.
2019’s Pantone Color of the Year is Living Coral, and we have all the heart-eyes for this color! There are tons of ways to go about incorporating Living Coral: sweet, feminine, classy, Southern…the ideas go on and on. Here, we are in love with how the spunky color combination of teal and coral can evoke both glam as well as fun vibes. If you’re looking to incorporate 2019’s Pantone Color of the Year – Living Coral – we think this is a fabulous way to do it. We adore how the color pops up in a myriad of ways at this Spring Tasting Event at CJs off the Square (even down to the adorable cocktail).
This glam and fun theme incorporates gold, mismatched and detailed dinnerware, and our swoon-worthy Farrah Teal Velvet Chair. The teal color woven through the theme takes the coral to a new level. The Tessa Tufted Beige Loveseat just had to be part of this look, with the glam and fun lines on the piece calling out to be included in this Coral shin-dig.
Poppies and other coral floral designs–along with coral linens–accented the event, assisting the teal and coral theme in adding to the glam and fun vibes.

Boho is trending as a wedding theme for 2019. We love seeing it an all forms, especially as Boho Modern! One of our favorite things about this wedding theme is its versatility. Boho can be personalized in a myriad of ways. Some wedding couples shoot for a boho theme that is super laid-back and colorful. Others vibe with a boho theme that is more minimal. We are here for all of it!
In this Spring Tasting Event at CJs off the Square, we created a series of looks that we are currently still swooning over. We love the look featured here, a Boho Modern theme. Equal parts whimsical, down-to-earth, and modern – all at once. A gold, clear, black, and blush combination — paired with slightly mismatched chairs — is what gives us the whimsy. Linens, perfectly draped, in cream and grey, along with florals, and cafe lights, give us an easy, down-to-earth feel. Finally, accents of gold metal, glass, and acrylic are brought in to give us that modern wedding theme.

Graduation party season is upon us! It’s sentimental, nostalgic, and cheerful… all at once. As you get ready to plan a graduation party for your senior, there’s a lot to consider. Will it be outside? How many people will you invite? What should you serve? Where will the guests sit? Southern Events has plenty of in-stock graduation party rentals to allow you to create a memorable and fun event for your grad.
Set the Scene
First, let’s set the scene. If your graduation party is going to be outside, consider one of our Tent Pop-Up Packages. You can coordinate the linens that come with your package to match school colors for added festiveness! The Sutton Collection or Barnwood Furniture and our Hammered Rectangle Fire Pit will be the perfect additions for added warmth and comfort. AstroTurf is great for graduation parties, and you could use our Boxwood Wall to create spaces or use as a backdrop!
Food and Such
At your graduation party, chances are – you’ll have some sort of food and drink (those seniors sure get cranky when they aren’t fed!), so you’ll want to think about how you’ll serve the food. Our Brushed Copper Flatware looks amazing with the Hob Nob Glassware. Both are fun and trendy and bring both modern and class to an event. Melamine Platters are perfect for your outdoor celebrations. Oh! And let’s definitely not forget the cake (that would result in extra cranky seniors), and we love serving cake on our Windsor Gold Cake Stands.
Graduation parties should create and instill memories and be a moment of celebration for all you and your grad have done over the past 18 years. Pat both of yourselves on the back. You did it!

Catering large and small-scale events alike requires the proper equipment and proper planning. Maybe you’re catering a wedding, high school graduation, or a baby shower. You could be catering for a sit-down meal or a buffet. The purpose of the combined tasks of catering is to allow the host to relax and the guests to have a memorable time. Southern Events has plenty of catering equipment available for rent to help these tasks run smoothly for your Nashville, Franklin or Middle Tennessee event. From catering outdoor events to food prep the moment before the event begins, we have all the items needed.
Outside Events
If you’re looking for catering equipment for an outside event, there are so many things to consider. Inclement weather – will it rain, be super hot, super sunny? Bugs – how can you protect the food you’ve worked so hard to create from getting ruined by flies and the like? Location – will it be in the middle of a field? How will you get the food and equipment to the location? Southern Events has rentals to solve all of these problems. Pop-Up Tents to protect from sun and rain, Plate Covers to protect the food, Trash Cans for waste, Banquet Tables with Risers for prep and Coolers to keep food.
Food Safety and Prep
When catering, you want the food to taste just as good when the guests eat it as it did the second it was finished cooking or baking. You also want to keep in mind food-safety concerns. How long can your meal sit out at room temperature? We have rentals such as Chafing Dishes, Tray Stands, Hot Boxes and Banquet Tables with Risers to help you pull all of this off! When it comes to catering, much of the time you’re prepping food up until the very end! We have rentals for the prep process as well.
If you’re catering for an upcoming wedding or event, we’d love to help you! Email our team to book your personal showroom tour at info@southerneventsonline.com to get started!
Farmhouse-inspired weddings and events are very of-the-moment, and for good reason! This trend is classic, fresh, and uber-relaxed. Perfect for a gathering of friends and family that is down to earth (literally) while being effortlessly stylish.
We partnered with the Gifford Collective at Meadow Hill Farms, where we used some of our favorite neutral rentals to bring this Southern Farmhouse look to life. The tablescape features our Sophia Flatware, Artisan Dinner Plates and Artisan Dessert Plates, Madison Glasses, and Havana Ecru Napkins. Fresh bread wrapped in butcher paper serves as place cards (love!), while cream, greenery & silver accents atop a Farm Table, paired with our Cross-Back Chairs, created an elegant and approachable Southern Farmhouse table. The ivory and handpainted wedding cake sits on our Fruitwood Round Cake Plateau as a tempting finish to the delicious meal one can imagine enjoying here.
The Southern Farmhouse style has been growing in popularity and is still going strong as a trend for 2019! We are excited to help create this beautiful scene for couples this upcoming year. Thank you Cassidy Carson Photography, for the beautiful images.
