As the weather warms up there is no better time to host a corporate event. Blue skies and sunshine open up a world of possibilities in terms of creative entertainment and event design. At Southern Events Party Rentals Online, we have a little something for every occasion and celebration! From stylish cocktail hour essentials to cozy event lounges. Perfect for toasting an anniversary, thanking partners and clients, or treating your employees. Get inspired by these unique corporate event themes, perfect for the spring and summer seasons!

Spring Has Sprung

The season of new beginnings, spring is a fitting time to treat your employees to a party that will leave them feeling reenergized. This is one of the more simple corporate event themes, yet it is sure to be a memorable event. We recommend hosting outdoors, to make the most of the seasonal foliage – think of it as natural decor! Scatter a mix of bistro and round tables on the lawn, dressed up with Peaches N’ Cream Poly and our elegant Harlin Dining Chairs. For additional seating, feature a chic neutral lounge area made up of our Bennett Leather Sofa, Adeline Dining Chairs, Chocolate Poufs, and a Navy Rug. To encourage guests to stay awhile, provide them with a stocked Franklin Antique White Bar and grazing boards served up on Wood Melamine Trays.

Off to the Races

The Kentucky Derby may only last two minutes, but it is a highly anticipated and celebrated sporting event. In terms of themed corporate events, there is no better time to host a party. Running with existing events or holidays makes it easier than ever to piece together a theme, and a high-class Derby Party is one of our personal favorites. Start with stylish bistro tables, like a classic bistro table dressed up with Cherry Red Poly Linens. Or the Loren Gold Bistro Table with a Black and White Striped Runner and Acrylic Ghost Barstools. Place an artificial grass rug beneath them for a fun spring touch! A fully stocked bar is essential – try Harpeth customized with your business logo. Classic glassware, like Mint Julep Cups and Davis Rocks Glass, is perfect for serving up bourbon-based cocktails.

Upscale Summer BBQ

A simple but always exciting event theme idea is a classic summer BBQ. A backyard BBQ is fitting for a casual celebration, say an employee appreciation day or even ‘just because’. You don’t need a reason to get together and grill out! Set up picnic tables with Red & White Check Linens. If kids are attending, check out our children’s furniture. For some contrast, feature our Earthen Onyx China and crisp White Napkins. Should you need serving trays, check out our family-style serving pieces. Whether you want a self-serve bar or food display, opt for our Whiskey Barrel Barnwood Bar. For added colors, a mix of vintage rugs will create an extra cozy vibe! Moreso should you feature a fire pit surrounded by poufs and rustic benches.

Black and White Party

If you are hosting an elegant corporate party, you can’t go wrong with a black and white event theme. A grayscale color palette will also make it incredibly easy to put together a cohesive look. Start with classic bistro tables outfitted in our beautiful Black Nova Linens, paired with Mid Century Black Barstools. If you’ll be toasting to the occasion, you’ll need a stylish bar and glassware to match. Our Black Franklin Antique Bar is a bold choice, as is a White 6-Tier Serving Tower. Should you need additional storage space, be sure to grab a set of barback shelves in black or white. For glassware, take a look at our Cybil Champagne Glasses or trendy coupe glasses.

Bright, floral-focused weddings are trending! Perhaps due to the renewed interest in maximalist design or a desire to shift away from neutral palettes. In either case, a vivid color scheme will lend a luxe and modern look for the spring and summer seasons. Get inspired to host a colorful spring wedding with these on-trend ideas starring our stylish event rentals. Southern Events Online has everything you need to pull off a chic celebration, from a whimsical garden ceremony to a bold maximalist reception.

Bold Monochromatic Scheme

One of our favorite bright wedding color schemes is a monochromatic palette. Red, blue, orange, pink, or purple – mixing the hues from any one of these colors are perfect for a bold wedding. For example, this gorgeous tented wedding with bright red and pink tablecloths is classically romantic. Especially when complemented by brilliant floral centerpieces and fresh bundles of greenery. Meanwhile, crisp napkins paired with White Round China and Bradley Flatware kept the look modern and airy. Our Gold Chiavari Chairs are a sophisticated touch, as is the Tessa Tufted Beige Linen Loveseat, overall, a super cozy detail the newlyweds will enjoy.

Refreshing Blue & Green Hues

This spring wedding inspiration stars refreshing blue and green hues, for a soft and organic vibe. It’s a gorgeous look for an early spring wedding as we come out of a cold and dreary winter! Start with romantic tablecloths starring bright blues, like our Light Blue Pindot, or you might consider the Blue Kensington linens, for a chic maximalist design. Furthermore, tie in splashes of green using buttery napkins in the color Fern, and create an elegant drink station to greet guests using our Green Goblets. For a fun interactive element, display them on White Barback Bookshelves. If the weather is nice we always recommend an outdoor lounge! Take a look at our romantic Everly Sofa and Chairs, paired with the Blanche Coffee Table and aqua rug.

Rich & Retro Chic

Dreaming of vibrant wedding colors that will bring a sense of retro charm to your big day? Check out this romantic spring wedding starring a bold palette of teal and amber! Our Sea Glass Velvet Tablecloth is a dark base, complemented by Kennedy Storm Napkins, and Earthen Alabaster China with Austin Gold Flatware provides a chic touch. Our favorite detail is the retro-inspired furniture! From the Antique White Bentwood Chairs to the gorgeous Jaqueline Sofa. Do you love this color scheme and the modern retro rentals?

Nothing is quite as invigorating as a bright spring gathering after a long and dreary winter. As nature springs back to life consider hosting a casual outdoor party. Whether it is a simple backyard dinner or a semi-formal cocktail hour, light bites, refreshing beverages, and good company are exactly what the doctor calls for! Get inspired by our most popular spring event design ideas, featuring our pastel event rentals. From chic linens and elegant serving ware to dreamy lounge areas, we have everything you need to host a sunny spring soiree.

Sleek & Chic Serving Pieces

Is it just us or does a well-thought-out place setting make for an extra charming table? Modern chic event design calls for a bright palette featuring crisp serving ware with a splash of color. Start with simple china, such as the Classic Round or dainty Darcy, and for a more muted white, consider Alabaster Earthen China. You can add texture with our Elegant Rattan White Wash Charger or Scalloped Wood Charger – paired with pastel linens, you’ll achieve an elegant table. If you would like a little more color, swap the white china out for brighter plates – perhaps the Coronado, Laguna, or Veral Floral China. Choosing flatware is simple. Just select a polished, matte, or brushed finish.

Fancy Glassware + Drink Displays

One of our favorite spring event ideas is signature drinks. And we have a variety of gorgeous glassware that will elevate any cocktail (or mocktail)! Popular choices include Cybil Wine Glass, Monaco Rock Glass, and Pure Water Glass. Our Franklin 4 Ft Antique White Bar is a classic choice for a small gathering. Use it to display your favorite alcohol and mixers. Or feature batch cocktails placed atop our Rattan Beverage Jar Stand. If you need additional display pieces, take a look at our White 6-Tier Serving Tower or White Bookcase.

Bright Linens

Linens are one of the most effective ways to incorporate color into your event table. And we have a huge array of pastel event rentals to help you create a spring-inspired tablescape! From subtle blue and purple hues to sunny yellows and greens. You can add as many colors or shades of color as you like by mixing and matching tablecloths and napkins.

Create a trendy monochromatic look by pairing our Peaches n’ Cream Poly Linens with Coral Velvet Napkins, or pair classic colors with a buttery texture when you combine our Fern Velvet Tablecloth with Navy Blue Velvet Napkins. Other gorgeous choices include Lilac Poly, Honey Poly, and Light Blue Pindot. If you prefer muted pastels, be sure to consider our Kennedy Collection.

Sunny Outdoor Event Lounges

Is there any better way to enjoy the outdoors than a sunny lounge area? Having at least one, if not several, will encourage your guests to cozy up and hang out – hopefully with a cocktail in hand! Start with a stylish sofa that will stand out against nature. Such as the Everly or Bennett Leather Sofa. Then consider armchairs, like our always popular Gloria Velvet. Or sub in dining chairs for an extra-chic look, whether it be the Harlin or Adeline chairs.

You will also want a set of accent tables, which can be a great way to add in metallics – like the Gold Hammered or Cheval Gold Mirror Side Tables. One of the most underrated spring event rentals is our stylish rugs, which will help frame lounge furniture placed on a lawn or gravel – to make the space extra cozy you can also feature a mix of poufs and ottomans.

Vintage rugs are a fun and cozy touch, especially when paired with a mix of poufs. Say our Chocolate or Turkish Rug Ottomans. Serve light bites, like finger sandwiches and hand-held desserts, on Willow Pedestal Cake Stands or Silver Trays. Lend to the cutesy vintage vibe when you feature place settings made of Heirloom China and Tea Cups. Complete the fantasy with a Silver Tea Server and sugar bowls!

Our Black Resin Folding Chairs are a classic choice for a moody retro vibe. One of our favorite retro wedding ideas is the use of layered rugs to decorate the aisle way.

Colorful Retro Reception Tables

A retro wedding calls for bold trendy tablescapes! We have countless pieces of serving ware and luxe linens that can be used to create colorful retro reception tables. Whether you are running with a cool or warm-toned palette, or a minimalist or maximalist design. Should you prefer a bold luxe look, start with a vibrant tablecloth in a rich Magnolia or Coral. Pull off an alternative look by stacking colorful serving ware on top of Black Velvet Linens. For a warm metallic table, stack our Darcy China and Kate Polka Dot China. Pair it with Amber Goblets and Austin Flatware to round out the look. Use runners for a layered maximalist design, or keep the look simple yet luxe with vibrant napkins. Or use mismatched napkins in retro tones, placed atop Earthen Alabaster China, for a whimsical touch!

A Retro Chic-Cocktail Hour

Planning to host a cocktail hour on the big day? Colorful wedding rentals are our favorite, and that’s exactly what a retro-chic cocktail hour calls for! Check out our cozy sofas, such as the Fern Velvet Sofa, Jacqueline Sofa, and Saylor Navy Velvet Sofa.

Luxe Linens in Every Shade

Linens are undoubtedly our favorite way to feature color at a holiday event. And for the holidays the options are endless! If you’re looking for linens to complement your modern vintage rentals, consider those that feature a subtle pattern. Our Ivory Pearl Shalimar and Victoria Gold Luxe Linens ooze luxury and would complement any neutral-colored place setting. Meanwhile, a solid shade will look gorgeous with more intricate serving ware. Such as our Scarlet Red Velvet or Magnolia Green Velvet Linens. As always, don’t forget napkins! Contrast a bold or patterned tablecloth with classic white or ivory napkins.

Vintage-Inspired Servingware

There is a charm to vintage-inspired serving ware that is perfect for the holidays! It lends a subtle sense of nostalgia that also happens to perfectly suit a modern vintage theme. Our inventory of servingware includes a range of pieces that can be used to create a stylish holiday tablescape. Either for a casual at-home soiree or for a formal corporate gathering.

To achieve this look you want to find a balance between simple pieces and those with ornate details. For example, pair plain White Round China with a Gold Rim Glass Charger and Abby Flatware. Or, feature a White Round Porcelain Charger with our ornate Ophelia China and modern Gold Austin Flatware. Choosing glassware is especially fun, with options like our Audrey Gold Rim, Monaco, and Pure Glassware.

Cozy Holiday Lounge Areas

Lounging is what you do at holiday parties. Whether you’re in a post-feast coma or simply need somewhere to sit and sip on a tasty seasonal cocktail. We have the perfect modern vintage rentals to create a stunning seating setup, whether you prefer a set of sofas or an armchair or two. Start with a rug featuring a vintage design to frame the space, adding a touch of warmth. Then choose your seating, such as our Fern Velvet and Bennett Leather Sofa.

Team Southern recently had the opportunity to collaborate with local vendors on a whimsical styled shoot at The Cordelle. An event venue & garden situated in Downtown Nashville, it was a stunning backdrop for the colorful outdoor wedding. With a mix of historic and modern spaces, featuring grandeur and charm, there was no shortage of room to create a functional and on-trend wedding layout. Check out the details from this dreamy garden-inspired wedding, featuring our stylish event rentals.

Seating for a Whimsical Indoor Ceremony

The ceremony took place in The Victorian, featuring brick walls, hardwood floors, and beautiful floor-to-ceiling windows. Contrasting the urban event space, we opted for our elegant Harlin Dining Chairs. Featuring light wood and detailed backs, they were the perfect choice for the dreamy indoor ceremony. An equally gorgeous alternative would have been our Adeline Dining Chairs! While we decided to keep the aisle bare, featuring a mix of our vintage rugs would have also been a beautiful choice, lending a cozy vibe.

A Dreamy Outdoor Reception Set Up

Meanwhile, the 5,000-square-foot Garden Lawn created an ethereal garden reception. The manicured lawn and bistro lights overhead made for a charming outdoor setup – especially come nightfall. Our Fruitwood Farm Tables and Harlin Dining Chairs were the base for the guest tables. This banquet style is perfect if you want a more intimate feel! Set with Heirloom China, Hob Nob Glassware, and Sophia Flatware, the look was elegant and vintage-inspired. Fun fresh florals and Turqouise Poly Napkins provided a punch of color, fitting for the season! Our Davis Glass Cylinders filled in the table centerpieces.

Blue-Hued Wedding Lounge

Eventually, The Victorian was flipped into a cozy cocktail area. Contrasting the warm-toned space, we chose our always popular Saylor Navy Velvet Sofa and Chair. It paired beautifully with a bright Aqua Rug and modern Rhodes Coffee Table. To optimize the space were a handful of cocktail tables – dressed up with deep black linen. Combining with the whimsical florals, it was a perfect cocktail hour set up for the colorful garden wedding.

On-Theme Wedding Cocktails

To match the colorful event design, equally bold wedding cocktails were required! J Jackson Mobile Mixologist served up a variety of delicious colorful cocktails in our Davis and Coupe Glasses. We chose these pieces for their clean shape, contrasting the vintage-inspired Hob Nob Glassware used at each table. We also loved the fun colors of the beverages as well as edible florals!

Sometimes less is more, and modern minimalist events prove just that! There is beauty to be found in simplicity, not to mention it often comes with a smaller decor budget. Less cluttered, modern minimalism can make it feel easier to breathe within your event space, without compromising style. Learn how to host a modern minimalist event when you take a look at our in-stock rentals that will lend a clean and timeless look.

Clean Tablescapes

To achieve a modern minimalist table, you’ll want to keep any decor simple and maintain as much open space as possible – perhaps stick to greenery! As for serving ware, opt for pieces that are sleek. Such as our Earthen China, available in 3 neutral colors, or Plain Glass China. Easily feature an elegant pop of metallics with our simple Austin Gold or Noir Matte Black Flatware. For a romantic minimalist table, feature a touch of color in your otherwise neutral palette with a set of our poly napkins. Perhaps in Ice Pink, Slate, or Lilac! Or, grab a velvet set for subtle texture.

Stylish Guest Seating

Of course, your dinner tables will need chairs, of which we have many to choose from. For a modern event design, we recommend sticking to pieces that feature neutral colors and simple details. Any of our acrylic chairs are a great option, which will lend a unique contemporary look to your event. Both our Acrylic Ghost Arm Chairs and Acrylic Ghost Armless Chairs are a popular choice! For a slightly more romantic vibe, or to complement a warm-toned palette, you might opt for our Harlin Dining Chairs.

Sleek Lounge Areas

As always, every event needs a lounge to socialize. And one of our personal favorites are modern minimalist event lounges, starring clean & elegant furniture. We have a wide selection of timeless pieces that you can mix and match to create a one-of-a-kind social area. To start, choose a plush sofa, like our Regent Black Velvet Sofa – perfect for a moody minimalist lounge! Then, add-on chairs, such as one of our acrylic pieces or our unique White Eiffel Arm Chairs. And don’t forget to include areas for guests to set their drinks! We’re currently favoring our Rhodes, Rivet and Granger accent tables, with their sleek legs.

Check out our serving ware, furniture, and decor that can be used to elevate your tablescape and impress your dinner guests!

Elegant Serving Ware

Black tie event design is all about luxury! For the table, we offer a range of stylish serving ware that suits any palette and style. White China is always a good start, whether you prefer Round plates or a more charming design, like Darcy. For a more moody table, opt for Earthen Onyx or Stone China. And should you prefer a more glam look, check out pieces that feature metallics. Such as our Glass Charger with a Gold Rim or Medallion Gold Glass Charger.

Our Harlin Dining Chairs are ideal for luxe Southern-inspired gatherings, as our the Adeline Chairs. Whereas the Acrylic Carrigan Side Chairs offer a more modern but equally formal look!

Hosting a black-tie wedding or black-tie corporate event? Don’t fret! We have plenty of seating in stock for small parties as well as large gatherings.

The ‘Wow’ Factor

While most black-tie event themes entail neutral palettes and elegant serving ware, we love a ‘wow’ factor. In fact, we encourage it! Little details that will have guests talking, snapping pics, and admiring the thought that went into the design. It can be as simple as quirky glassware, like our always popular Cybil Wine Glasses or Champagne Flutes. Or luxurious velvet linens, in a deep Magnolia or eye-catching Merlot – they won’t be able to keep their hands off it! Another luxe addition are stylish centerpieces like our Davis Glass Cylinders, paired with greenery and candles. Or our contemporary Acrylic Rectangle Container.
