As the world slowly re-opens just in time for the summertime, people look forward to celebrating milestones and events that were temporarily postponed. While smaller in size, you can still celebrate in comfort and style. Get inspired by some of the must-have rentals for small gatherings, perfect for hosting more intimate parties.

Chairs & Tables

We’re kicking things off with the basics! Chairs & tables are a must, whether you are serving food or simply want to encourage guests to sit down and stay for a while. Our Sutton Lounge is a beautiful and bright choice for a casual evening in the backyard. If your party will include kids, pass on the plastic card tables and opt for child-sized furniture, like our gorgeous Fruitwood Farm Table. For the adults, a bistro table and bar stools are a classic choice.

Stylish Rugs

Rugs are a must-have when it comes to defining a space. Large or small, rugs can be used to create a frame in which to lay out a social area (and mark appropriately distanced pathways). Alternatively, they can be used to add an additional level of comfort underfoot. With summer coming up go with bright colors, like our Aqua Rug or Blue-Red Rug. For some extra pizzazz, try layering a few of your favorites. Plus – don’t forget a spot for chilled beverages!

Easels for Signage

Signage is useful no matter the size of your event, plus are a whole lot of fun to create! Jot down a quick word of welcome, direct guests to different areas of the party, make a drink and food menu or remind them of safety precautions. We’re currently loving vintage chalkboards as they are easy to use, no matter your lettering skills or lack of, and add a cute dose of nostalgia.

A Fun Focal Point

Every party needs a unique, eye-catching focal point. If you are hosting happy hour or your event will include alcohol, our Boxwood Wall makes for a fun interactive photo backdrop or central spot for guest place cards (option shown below is two walls combined). Alternatively, decorate the Fiona Mantle to give your guests a beautiful backdrop for their photographs. Want to make a big statement? Roll out a literal Red Carpet at the entryway for your guests.

Decor

Don’t let your tables sit bare! Even a small centerpiece goes a long way. We offer a variety of lanterns and votives in various colors, which can be used as decoration or to create a warm ambiance once the sun goes down. If you plan on showcasing some flowers fresh from the garden, our cylindrical and square glass vases are an elegant choice.

Fall is drifting in, and as the seasons begin to change, so do wedding trends. Bold and vibrant colors can be found everywhere in nature–from the burgundy mums sitting on your doorstep, to the bright orange pumpkins waiting to be carved into jack-o-lanterns, to the yellow leaves falling to the ground. Who are we to argue with mother nature? The vivid and rich color palette of the great outdoors moves fall wedding trends toward more jewel-toned hues.

So grab that pumpkin spice latte, light a candle, and peruse these gorgeous, in-stock jewel-toned rentals.

Jewel-Toned Furniture

Our Saylor Navy Sofa always makes a striking statement. We’ve used it at many weddings and events, and it begged to be included in this lineup. The piece’s deep and powerful hue of blue brings in warmth and vivacity. Our Tabby Tufted Gray Linen Loveseat and Gold Chiavari Chairs are alluring accent pieces that round out the fall color theme.

Bold Linens

We love playing with linens- layering them, draping them, and allowing them to pop in unexpected places. When it comes to a fall, jewel-toned wedding theme, linens are a trusty side-kick. They accentuate, build up, and reinforce the vibrant color palette. The possibilities are endless. Our Burgundy Poly Linen, Gold Poly Linen, Magnolia Green Velvet Linen, and Raspberry Poly Linen are our top picks for pushing this jewel-toned vision to life.

Gold Accents

Warm, rich, vivacious colors set in gold are the things of fairy tales (and sought-after gifts). Rubies, emeralds, sapphires- they all have several things in common. One of which being they are set in gold. Setting your jewel-toned wedding in gold is simple with our in-stock rentals. Our Austin Flatware, Gold Accent China, and Gold Decor Accessories do just the trick.

Are you catching these fall feels? We’d love to help you create the bold and vivacious wedding you’re dreaming of. Send us a message at info@southerneventsonline.com.

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.

We love an ethereal design that pulls light colors and soft fabric from the days of disco without jumping into a time capsule. A Dreamy Disco design takes 1970s flair and gives it a contemporary feel- pastel greens and peaches are soft and sweet while bold gold accents liven up the party. Silky smooth velvet invokes a classic 70s vibe while a more modern design keeps the party in the present day. We love a Dreamy Disco for weddings, tea parties, ladies’ luncheons or corporate events looking to channel 70s Dolly Parton.
