How to Layer Textures and Elements for a Maximalist Event Table

On Trend, Southern Events Products, Trends and Inspiration

maximalist wedding design

Creating an event table that wows your guests is an art form, especially when you lean into the “more is more” mentality of maximalist design. At Southern Events Party Rental, we offer a variety of patterned linens and eclectic serving ware to help you craft an utterly unforgettable aesthetic. Keep reading for maximalist event table ideas, including tips on how you can achieve a maximalist design that is bold yet balanced!

So, What is Maximalist Design?

Maximalist design is the opposite of minimalist design. While minimalism focuses on simplicity and restraint, maximalism encourages the use of colors, prints, objects, and textures to showcase your personality. This design philosophy is perfect for event tables, where you can combine various elements to create a space that’s chaotic yet elegant. Contrary to popular belief, maximalist design doesn’t mean clutter! With our expert guidance, you can create a tablescape that’s both over-the-top and functional, ensuring your guests are wowed by every detail.

Lots of Layering, Please!

One of the easiest ways to create a maximalist table is by layering linens and rentals. You might have seen layered linens in the form of soft and breezy runners or contrasting patterns. But don’t stop there—consider layering with elements like serving platters. With the rising popularity of charcuterie and grazing boards, appetizers can become part of your design. Imagine fresh sourdough rolls in baskets or an array of meats and cheeses on silver trays, adding both visual interest and culinary delight to your table.

Mix Prints & Textures

While it’s typical to feature one standout piece in traditional design, maximalism encourages multiple bold elements. More specifically, combining different patterns and textures, whether it’s table linens, china, or glassware. The key is to maintain balance and know when enough is enough! Think of it as controlled chaos where each item adds to the overall aesthetic without overwhelming the senses. For example, feature a funky Verdant Bloom tablecloth in contrast to sleek Onyx Earthen China and a bold Hot Pink Velvet Napkin.

Color is Your Best Friend

Color is a powerful tool in maximalist design. While a splash of color is a fun addition to any tablescape, maximalist design allows for more unique color combinations, including metallics. Play with contrasting tones or feature different shades of one color to create depth and interest. For example, try mixing the Savannah Sage Plaid tablecloth with green floral Liana China. From bold linens to colored glassware, embrace the freedom to experiment with color to make your table truly stand out.

Don’t Underestimate Cutlery

Flatware is often an afterthought, chosen to match existing metallics in china or chargers. However, in maximalist design, cutlery is an accessory—much like jewelry—that can elevate your tablescape. We offer a variety of unique flatware collections that will grab your guests’ attention and complement your overall design. Think beyond the basics and choose pieces that enhance the visual appeal of your table, such as the Noir Matte Black or Silver Como Flatware.

Neutral Maximalism

While we love color, it’s not a requirement for a stunning maximalist tablescape. You can achieve an equally impressive look with neutral tones by combining a variety of minimalist rentals. The key is to focus on texture and layering to create a rich, inviting space. Such as glassware! While you don’t need three glasses for each place setting, there is no harm if your many consist of three unique beverages. Neutral doesn’t have to mean boring; with the right mix of elements, you can create a maximalist table that’s sophisticated and chic.

If you’re aiming for a truly romantic ambiance, the Posy Scalloped Lace napkins are a must-have. These napkins boast a beautifully scalloped edge adorned with intricate embroidered lace details.

When it comes to hosting an event, whether it’s a wedding, at-home baby shower, or backyard dinner party, attention to detail is key. Every element, from the décor to the table settings, plays a crucial role in creating the desired ambiance.

At Southern Events, we believe that patterned event linens are an effective way to add sophistication and style to any occasion. Let’s dive into some of our favorite picks that are currently in stock!

Whimsical Florals

There’s something inherently charming about floral patterns. They bring a sense of freshness and vitality to the table, making them perfect for springtime events, garden parties, or romantic weddings. Our whimsical floral linens come in a variety of colors and designs. For example, delicate pastel blooms such as those featured on our Blue Floral linens.

Think intricate damasks, ornate brocades, and rich jacquard patterns! Blue Kensington is a classic and understated choice, fitting for an elegant baby or bridal shower. Whereas if you are going for a more vibrant aesthetic, Cerise Kensington sings! Other options are pastels, such as the Labella Pink or Somerset Blue tablecloth rentals.

Whether you prefer gold, silver, or copper, metallic linens catch the light beautifully, creating a dazzling effect. Consider the Silver White Leaf and Ivory Pearl Shalimar featuring subtle silver metallic prints, fitting for a modern hotel wedding.

Crisp, clean, and effortlessly chic, they provide a versatile canvas for any table setting. Black & White Stripe are an easy choice, perfect for creating a preppy tablescape. Add color with vibrant napkins, in shades such as Watermelon or Turquoise Poly! However, we prefer Black Nova with swirling shades of black, white, and grey.

2024 Event Design Trends | Quality Over Quantity

On Trend, Southern Events Products, Trends and Inspiration

2024 event design ideas and inspiration

Event planning brings a refreshing shift towards a less-is-more philosophy in 2024! Embracing the essence of minimalism, event designers are choosing quality over quantity. Focusing on elements that make a lasting impact without overwhelming the senses. And Southern Event Rentals is here to help you embrace the trend and champion the art of curated simplicity. Explore our range of in-stock rentals to discover how you can seamlessly incorporate the latest in 2024 event design trends into your upcoming celebrations.

Linens with Whimsy

Gone are the days of elaborate and cluttered centerpieces vying for attention. Instead, 2024 encourages a playful embrace of whimsical linens to set the stage for a vibrant event. Picture bright and wonderful prints that effortlessly contrast with simple serving ware. For example, our Labella Pink and Somerset Blue are subtle designs that give big Bridgerton vibes, perfect for an elegant spring soiree. Meanwhile, Blue Floral and Cerise Kensington is more punchy and perfect for summer! On the other hand, romantic runners allow simple wood furniture to shine and exude softness – we’re loving our Sahara Runners in Indigo, Sage, and Rust. These linens not only add a pop of personality but also eliminate the need for chaotic centerpieces and unnecessary filler, allowing guests room to breathe.

Serving Ware that Elevates

Quality serving ware is a silent yet powerful player in the symphony of event design. It’s a tactile detail that can make or break the overall aesthetic of a table. Clean and simple is an easy choice, especially in contrast to busy printed linens. However, china adorned with timeless prints and subtle pops of color is equally striking and looks stunning atop a bold tablecloth. Likewise, our Cabo China comes in beautiful shades of Blue and Marigold, lending a chic coastal vibe. Meanwhile, Liana in a rich green is a modern twist on a vintage print. Textured chargers and colored glassware further enhance the visual appeal! Try the Rattan White Wash or Scalloped Wood Charger for added texture. Or allude to eras past with our pastel Amalia or Deco Glassware.

Clutter-Free Bars 

Simplicity extends beyond aesthetics to the culinary domain. That is to say, steer away from the temptation to stock every conceivable beverage option. Instead, focus on creating a thoughtful menu featuring signature drinks presented in eye-catching glassware. Such as our contemporary Cybil or sleek Upton Glassware! Instead, for a hassle-free approach, consider batch cocktails or mocktails elegantly displayed in beverage dispensers. This will help streamline serving for a more seamless experience. Moreover if you choose a bar of the appropriate style and size. For example, our expansive Thompson White Bar Collection. Or perhaps the likes of our smaller Collins Black Wood Bar. To match a theme, check out the sophisticated Alice Bar or retro-inspired Chelsea Marble Top Bar.

Home-Like Lounges

Hotel vibes are taking a backseat in 2024! With event designers prioritizing the creation of cozy spaces that mimic the warmth of home. Southern Event Rentals always encourages planners to prioritize functionality over aesthetics in lounge areas. Picture accent tables strategically placed for guests to comfortably rest their drinks, appetizers, and handbags. This deliberate design fosters an intimate and relaxed atmosphere. Encouraging guests to connect and enjoy the event in a more personal setting. If you need inspiration, take a look at our curated collections, such as the Ellison Lounge. Or, mix and match to create a custom seating area featuring sofas (Sloan is a current fave). Along with armchairs and an ottoman or two. Top it off with a rug for a cohesive and refined look.

When it comes to winter weddings, there’s a certain magic in the air! Embracing the simplicity and sophistication of the season, consider a black and white color scheme. Whether you’re planning a formal gathering or a more relaxed event. The juxtaposition of these classic hues will lend a timeless look to your day! At Southern Events, we believe that creating a cohesive and beautiful atmosphere is key. That’s why we’re excited to share our favorite ideas for a modern black and white winter wedding, featuring our exquisite event rentals.

Simple Winter Wedding Ceremony Decor

Picture this: saying “I do” surrounded by simple yet stunning decor. We’re talking elegant seating with glowing candles or white floral arrangements placed atop Antique White Columns at the altar. At Southern Events, we have a beautiful inventory of chairs that will make your ceremony pop without stealing the show. Such as our Antique White Bentwood Chairs, bold Black Resin Folding Chairs, or modern Acrylic Ghost Armless Chairs. For a little extra coziness, line the aisle with mismatched black and white rugs. Keep it simple, keep it classy – that’s the secret sauce!

Black & White Wedding Tables

Now, let’s create a modern black and white wedding reception – where the magic really happens. Depending on whether you prefer a bright or moody look, start with crisp white or black tablecloths. They’re like a blank canvas ready for you to get creative with place settings (whereas the Black Nova Linens are perfect for fans of maximalism). Thankfully, Southern Events has a treasure trove of tableware and linens that’ll let you mix and match to create a vibe that’s all you. To contrast a white tablecloth, stack Glass Chargers with Black Rim, Onyx Earthen China or Carrera Marble Dinner Plates, and Noir Matte Black Flatware. Whereas on top of black, you might feature our Black Round Lacquer Chargers, White Coupe China, and Bradley Flatware.

Moody Cocktail Hour Ideas

Time to transition to the celebration! Picture a moody cocktail hour – dim lights, sleek black and white lounge furniture, and high cocktail tables with chic black linens. For a memorable entrance, greet guests with a custom Harpeth Bar or snazzy Collins Black Wood Bar. Large crowds may require our Thompson Full Oval White Bar. However, any of these will look stunning paired with a Black Barback Shelves. And don’t forget signature black and white cocktails in dazzling glassware. Such as our popular Gatsby Coupe Glasses or contemporary Cybil Goblets. Finally, create some cozy spaces to mingle, whether you prefer lofty bistro tables or lounges. Our Black Mid-Century and Acrylic Square Back Barstools are a dream. As is our Estelle Quarter Round Sofa and the Regent Black Velvet Sofa with accent tables. Add in some black and white throw pillows or blankets to keep it cozy yet oh-so-cool.

As the countdown to the New Year begins, what better way to usher in a fresh start than with a celebration that radiates opulence and prosperity? Southern Events is prepared with silver and gold event rentals for New Year’s Eve. A stylish and modern choice that will ensure that your festivities are nothing short of spectacular! Get ready to welcome 2024 in style with our guide to hosting a dazzling soirée featuring bold metallic details that ooze luxury.

Serving Ware that Shines

Make a statement from the moment your guests arrive with serving ware that sparkles and shines. Elevate your dining experience by opting for metallic flatware, gold-rimmed glassware, and eye-catching chargers that exude sophistication. We offer a curated selection of metallic serving pieces that will not only impress your guests but also elevate the overall aesthetic of your New Year’s Eve feast. If you prefer gold, create a timeless stack using the Glass Charger with Gold Rim and Ophelia China with Austin Gold Flatware. For those who love silver, its easy to achieve an elegant table with a Silver Round Lacquer Charger and Carrera Marble Dinner Plates or Glass China. Complete the place setting with our classic Brooklyn or elegant Abby Flatware. Alternatively, metallic flatware will POP against bold linens! Just like this Brushed Copper Flatware on top of Black Linens and Onyx China.

Shimmering Event Linens

A subtle detail that can elevate any table is the right choice of linens. Drape your tables with shimmering tablecloths in gold, silver, or metallic hues to create a luxurious foundation. Consider the Silver White Leaf or Silver Furrow linens for an elegant icy look. If you aren’t afraid to go big and bold, the solid Gold Gold Fairmount or Victorian Luxe Gold are a striking choice! Meanwhile, the Gold Furrow Linens are more subtle. Lastly, dark linens will beautifully contrast bright china. Such as our popular Grey Nova with soft swirls of silver and gold. The play of light on these textured linens will create a captivating atmosphere. Ensuring your guests remember this New Year’s Eve celebration for years to come.

We have beautiful standalone pieces like the Blanche or Avalon Round Coffee Table. Or sets, such as our favorite Echo Mirrored Side Tables. Your guests will appreciate the attention to detail as they lounge in comfort and style. Or, keep it simple when you feature our Charleston Bistro Table or the larger Loren Gold Bistro Table.

Sparkling Barware

No New Year’s Eve party is complete without a well-stocked bar, and what better way to showcase your libations than with a sparkling bar area? Elevate your drink service with metallic glassware, including the Celia Gold Rim. Served from the contemporary Cheslea Marble Top Bar. To ensure your beverage station not only serves top-notch drinks but serves as a visual centerpiece, store your glassware or bottles on the Gold Avenue Bar Back Shelf. Another option is to create a self-service drink station with hot beverages. Our Silver Coffee Urns are perfect for dishing out coffee or hot chocolate following dinner.
