Check out the details below, to get inspired for your own micro wedding reception or intimate dinner celebration!
The Soiree on the Square is a gorgeous event space that mixes industrial architecture with contemporary furnishings. We contrasted the warm brick walls, hardwood floors and industrial furniture with our modern Acrylic Ghost Chairs.
The centerpieces were simple but elegant, featuring greenery and tall gold candelabras – ideal for conversing across a table. Tall candles and votives were used throughout the space to create a romantic and intimate ambiance.
Other decorative elements include a lush garland to frame the entryway to the reception space. Eucalyptus, pampas grass and roses add volume here. A gold-framed mirror featuring a handwritten message was placed on a wrought iron stand as a stylish way to welcome guests.

Victoria and Ben’s rustic chic wedding at 14Tenn in Nashville, Tennessee was a breath of fresh air. They carefully selected their decor and which colors to feature for a beautiful mix of bright whites and muted warm-toned neutrals. Get inspired for your own event with this luxe reception decor, including neutral themed tablescapes.
While some couples want a table to make them stand out, Victoria and Ben opted for a more understated look. We paired our Fruitwood Farm Table with classic folding chairs. Meanwhile, our Davis Glass Cylinders were used to cast a warm glow around the two. 14Tenn’s elegant event space made for a simple but beautiful backdrop.
The first place setting we created was designed for long wooden tables. The use of our bright Darcy China as a base ensured that they stood out against the dark colors. While our Blair Geometric China and Hammered Flatware were a luxe metallic touch. We opted to feature our Carly Glassware, which is sleek with a thick base.
To complement the warm tones of their overall design, they opted to use our Fruitwood Folding Chairs. They pair beautifully with any wood table. To draw from the rustic elements, galvanized chairs were added to the mix.
For the round tables, we created a separate but complementary place setting. Featuring the same Darcy China and Hammered Flatware, but with a different gold accent plate. In this case, our chic Kate Polka Dot China. It was all placed on our stunning Grey Nova linens.
It was a joy to work with Victoria and Ben to create the wedding reception of their dreams! We wish them a long and happy lifetime together.

Holiday Theme: Warm + Cozy

Rules have long been thrown out this year so have a little fun with your holiday table this year. Try a bold, untraditional color for your holiday linen rentals like a spiced pumpkin orange or deep Mediterranean blue, and combine with our luxurious new linen textures such as our etched velvets, rustic Havana, and polished Kennedy linens.
Enhance your traditional holiday tablescape by adding fruit to your Thanksgiving pumpkins or winter greenery. Pomegranates pop off our satin and velvet linen rentals for a luxe winter look. Let wheat, apples, and artichokes on a greenery garland and celebrate the harvest season with farm tables and cross-back chairs. Pears adorn a whimsical and elegant floral holiday tablescape with our Carrera Mable plates, gold flatware, Harlin chairs, and velvet linen rentals.
Don’t forget the food service when planning your holiday meal. Your holiday buffet and service rentals can be just as beautiful as your tablescape. Our catering service rentals offer the best of both worlds. Serve hot beverages from our gorgeous hammered coffee urns while you keep food warm in our coordinating hammered chafing dishes. Host your best cocktail hour with our wide range of glassware rentals. And dish up your holiday dessert buffet with our pedestals that are perfect for pie!
A coming-of-age celebration, Quinceañeras are a loud and vibrant way to mark a girl’s 15th birthday! Typically bright & colorful, these parties are a mix of both modern and classic elements and traditions. Today we’re sharing just a few ways to host a fun Quinceañera celebration, featuring our luxe and colorful event rentals.
Fuchsia Etched Velvet Linen
Our Fuchsia Etched Velvet Linens are an easy way to wow your guests. Vibrant with a luxe touch of gold, these stunning linens bring a bold and modern air to any tablescape. This beautiful color is available in both tablecloths and napkins.
For a luxe feminine touch, you have to feature some of our velvet furniture! These stylish pieces can be used for a reception, or to create a cozy lounge area. Take for example our Henley Grey Velvet Tufted Sofa and Farrah Teal Velvet Chairs. We offer a variety of velvet furniture rentals, with options for both a bold or toned down color palette.
One of our most versatile rentals are our beautiful boxwood walls. First and foremost, they make for a stunning photo backdrop. They can easily be customized with decor, whether it be bright balloons or signage. In either scenario, your guests will love the photo op. If you prefer a more interactive element, consider serving up some cold drinks via a beverage shelf. It is a unique and fun way to serve up some age-appropriate mocktails. For another interactive element, take a look at our new Donut Wall.
Red Carpet Entrance
What is a Quinceañera without a grand entrance? At Southern, we love to roll out the red carpet. In fact, we love it so much that we supply carpets in a variety of colors. Make a memorable entrance when you rent one of our carpets, whether you go with a classic white or black, or a modern pink.
Staging & Dance Floor
If your Quince will include music, then you’ll definitely need staging. It is the perfect way to make a live band, or another form of entertainment, front and center. In the event that you do have music, be sure to check out our classic black and white dance floor. This photogenic flooring is as stylish as it is perfect for busting some moves on.
Cake Stands
Last, but far from least, we can’t forget the importance of an impressive dessert bar. Specifically, a cake stand for your cake. Our Windsor Gold Cake Stand exudes modern luxury, and is beautiful in a way that won’t take away from the cake. If you really want to take your event to the next level, be sure to consider our modern glass candy jars. They’re perfect for creating a one-of-kind (not to mention delicious) dessert table!

If you’re looking for a bright and chic look for your upcoming wedding, look no further! Earlier this year our team at Southern Events collaborated with other local vendors for a fresh and fun desert bloom themed style shoot at 14Tenn in Nashville, Tennessee. Enjoy the breathtaking image by Gray Kammera Photography as we show off some of our featured rentals!
For the intimate indoor reception, we opted to use our modern Acrylic Ghost Armless Chairs. Meanwhile, our Davis Glass Cylinders with white pillar candles lined the aisle way, extending the airy look and creating a warm ambiance. Of course, the floral backdrop created by SS T Villager Designs stole the show! Their bright whimsical florals took this reception set up to another level, with lush greenery and bold colors.
Shifting to the reception, we featured more of our popular acrylic furniture. This time our Acrylic Carrigan Side Chair. A mix of contemporary and industrial/rustic furniture makes this set-up stylish yet inviting.
Also, note the beautiful calligraphy escort cards by Fanciful Ink!
When styling the bride and groom’s table, we always like a little extra drama. The bold florals dripped all the way to the floor where they met our Gold Metal Intersect Cube and Davis Glass Cylinders, for a warm and luxe look.
In addition to long dinner tables, we also used round tables. For these, we selected our stunning Fuchsia Etched Velvet Linens. A mix of our acrylic chairs were featured, for that popular mix and match vibe.
While the place setting were identical to those on the long dinner tables, we switched out the napkins. Our London Fog Etched Velvet Napkins provided a much-needed neutral contrast to the otherwise bold table. Our favorite element? The super cute potted plant wedding favors/place settings!

Donut Desert Wall
What can we say – if loving donuts is wrong then we don’t want to be right! Donuts have quickly become a fan favorite at events & parties. Plus, these sweet treats are as beautiful as they are tasty creating double duty decor. They can also be a quick photo backdrop. For some extra fun, we recommend serving up some coffee and/or milk! Be sure to check out our beverage rentals, like our stylish copper urn.
A Must for Birthdays & Baby Showers
Our freestanding peg wall for donuts has a beautiful dark wood stain that complements every type of event. It is 4′ wide by 8′ tall with 46 pegs and each peg holds 2-3 donuts. It is perfect for both adult and children’s birthday parties, baby showers, bridal showers, and a variety of other events. The only downside to this interactive piece of decor is that the donuts aren’t included!
Escort Cards
Donuts are a fun treat, but you can also make them functional! Consider using our donut wall to serve up escort cards to your wedding guests. Simply add a tag to each donut with your guest’s name and their designated table number. Or opt for classic escort cards tied with a colorful ribbon on this rustic backdrop.

Vibrant and whimsical, these colorful backyard party ideas that are sure to bring some wonder & whimsy to your next Nashville, Tennessee event. Perfect for a kid’s birthday party, fun gender reveal party or daytime wedding, check out how we use our party rentals to create a bold & colorful look that is timeless, stylish and fun!
Mix & Match Furniture
Keep your event casual yet maintain a consistent aesthetic with a mix of furniture that complements one another. By using Barnwood Furniture of a variety of shapes, you can make the most of the space and also feature some statement pieces. Take for example our beautiful Fruitwood Farm Tables. In regards to chairs, we used a mix of rustic benches and our elegant Cross-back chairs. Although simple, it creates a foundation from which to add color!
An easy way to add warmth to a colorful backyard event is with gold or silver accents. Featuring our Gold Round Lacquer Charger and Austin Flatware, adds a touch of metallics that contrasts beautifully against turquoise centerpieces. It also complements the golden yellows and sunset-inspired oranges throughout the event design. Don’t forget to pull these accents into other parts of your events with gold-rimmed glasses on your bar or gold side tables in your lounge. This creates a more cohesive look.
Bold Centerpieces
When it comes to table centerpieces people often feel the need to use matching pieces. A colorful backyard party is a perfect time to experiment with creative shapes and colors. This tablescape features a mix of vases, in teal, white, gold and clear glass – easy for a DIY backyard party. For candles, we suggest varying heights to add some dimension (though you can also create this with taller arrangements). As far as flowers go, consider keeping it simple but bright with a variety of wildflowers. Orange & yellow tones perfectly contrasted and popped against the teal and white glassware!
Vibrant Linens
Vibrant linens are so much fun! The use of bright colors will lend a sense of liveliness to your event, plus make your event photos pop. Don’t be afraid to use different linens for each table either! Note how we were careful to switch up the color of our table centerpieces depending on the linen color. As a general rule: place lighter colored centerpieces on dark tablecloths and vice versa. Our Fuschia Etched Velvet Linens with their gold veining would be a another way to bring in a subtle metallic accent and a bold pop of color.
