Our Favorite Wedding Plate Pairings from Modern to MoodySouthern Events Products |

If you ask us, the right plate is what brings the whole table together. Whether you’re dreaming of something romantic, contemporary, or a little bit bold, your place settings complete the look. And while we’re always fans of mixing and matching, there’s something extra satisfying about a curated wedding plate pairing that just works. From light and breezy to dramatic and moody, these combinations from the Southern Events inventory are ideal for weddings of all styles—and yes, we’re answering the question: How much does it cost to rent wedding plates? (Spoiler: it’s more affordable than you think.)
Light & Natural: Gwyneth + Walnut Rattan
There’s something about this pairing that feels like a fresh-air garden party. Our Gwyneth Glass Plate adds soft texture and shimmer, while the Walnut Rattan Charger grounds the setting with natural warmth. This combo is a go-to for outdoor weddings and vineyard venues, especially when paired with pastel linens and fresh greenery.

Soft Neutrals: Alabaster + White Washed Rattan
The Alabaster Earthen China brings a soft, artisanal vibe to the table. Layered over a White Washed Rattan Charger, this look feels light, effortless, and just a little bit earthy. Great for neutral-loving couples and understated tables with linen or gauze runners.

Elegant & Glam: Ophelia + Darcy Bone
Love a little drama? This is your moment. Our Ophelia China features a stunning gold rim and intricate detailing, and the Darcy Bone China Charger tones it down with scalloped edges and a creamy finish. Together, they give off major European estate wedding energy; no castle required.

Romantic & Refined: Darcy + Belmont
This classic combo is a favorite for a reason. The Darcy China pairs beautifully with the Belmont Beaded Edge Charger for a look that’s sweet but sophisticated. Add floral napkins or vintage glassware to personalize the palette.

Garden-Inspired: Liana + Darcy Bone
For a floral moment without the fuss, try Liana China with its soft green pattern, layered over a Darcy Bone Charger. It’s a subtle nod to nature that still feels upscale, perfect for spring weddings or venues with lots of natural light.

Modern Mood: Onyx + Onyx
We love a matchy-matchy moment—especially when it’s this sleek. The Onyx Earthen China with its coordinating matte charger brings major moody minimalism to the table. Add black flatware and a velvet napkin for an editorial finish.

Warm & Whimsical: Marigold + Scalloped Wood
This pairing is pure personality. Our Marigold Cabo China pops against the Scalloped Wood Charger, creating a warm, golden-hour glow at each place setting. It’s a great choice for boho weddings, Southwestern themes, or any event that doesn’t shy away from color.

How Much Does It Cost to Rent Wedding Plates?
Renting plates for a wedding is a simple and affordable way to elevate your design. Most of our china plates range from $0.75 to $1.50 per piece, with chargers averaging between $4 and $6. Final costs depend on the specific styles and quantities. Need help choosing a look? Our team can help you build a design that matches your style, guest count, and budget.

Lush & Luxe: Green Rentals for Elevated Event DesignOn Trend, Southern Events Products |

There’s something about green that just feels fresh — it evokes nature, growth, calm, and elegance all at once. And in event design, green details strike that perfect balance between trendy and timeless. Whether you’re hosting a wedding, gala, or corporate celebration, incorporating green rentals from Southern Events can take your event from predictable to Pinterest-worthy.
Why Everyone’s Going Green
Green is one of the most versatile colors in design. It pairs beautifully with wood, white, gold, black, and even bold floral palettes. It’s calming and luxurious, but never boring. And in event spaces, green elements can soften a stark venue, bring warmth to industrial settings, or enhance a garden-style look with even more natural appeal. Whether you want to lean into earthy elegance or go full glam with deep velvet textures, green rentals can make your vision feel polished and on point.

All Eyes on the Table
Linens are one of the most compelling (and cost-effective!) ways to infuse color into your event design. Our inventory features a variety of green tablecloths and napkins that can serve as your backdrop or your statement piece:
- Green Floral Linen – Soft sage with delicate botanical detail; perfect for weddings or garden parties
- Green Meadow Linen – A dreamy swirl of green and floral patterns that mimics a wildflower field
- Verdant Bloom Linen – Large-scale blue-green florals for a more dramatic, editorial feel
- Savannah Sage Plaid – A modern plaid with sage tones that works beautifully for outdoor or transitional season events
Looking to create dimension with your tablescape? Layer a runner over a solid sage green tablecloth or pair with ivory and gold details for a refined finish.

Raise the Bar in Sage
Bars are often the centerpiece of cocktail hour. Why not make it a stylish one? Our Sage Franklin Bar, available in both 4-foot and 8-foot lengths, is an eye-catching addition that feels custom without the price tag. It offers a fresh take on event bars with its soft green finish and wainscoting, ideal for pairing with floral installs or modern glassware displays. Whether you’re serving signature drinks or sparkling water with lime, this bar pulls the whole space together.

Sip in Style
Glassware might be a small detail, but it makes a big impression. Our green glassware rentals add subtle color and elegance to any tablescape. Choose one tone throughout or mix styles for added texture:
- Amalia Sage Water Goblet – Soft and translucent with a romantic silhouette
- Sea Salt Tumbler – A casual yet chic option with a coastal vibe
- Savoy Green Goblet – Deeper in tone and perfect for moody, layered looks

A Fresh Take on China
Speaking of dinnerware, our Liana China is the perfect match for a green-forward event. It features a delicate green floral pattern that brings a fresh touch to modern place settings. This china is especially lovely for brunches, showers, or elegant receptions where every detail matters. Pair it with gold flatware, such as Austin, or any of our bold gold chargers for a luxurious setting.

Sit Pretty in Velvet
For those planning lounge areas, our Clover Velvet Chair and Fern Velvet Sofa bring that “wow” factor without trying too hard. The Clover chair’s plush texture and bold hue make it a versatile option, while the Fern sofa’s retro design makes it a centerpiece all on its own. Use these pieces to create photo-ready vignettes, VIP areas, or cozy corners for conversation. Paired with gold or glass accent tables, they offer a luxurious yet comfortable experience for guests.

Try It, Style It, Love It
Feeling inspired but not sure how it all comes together? Schedule a visit to our showroom in Franklin, where you can get hands-on with our full collection of green rentals. Mix and match to your heart’s content, build out a sample tablescape, and work with our team to fine-tune the details.
Prefer a done-for-you look? Check out our Styled by Southern collections, which feature pre-curated rentals that include many of these green elements. They’re perfect for planners or clients who want a turnkey solution without sacrificing style.
The Final Word on Green

Dreaming of the Amalfi Coast? With European picnic rentals from Southern Event Rentals, you can bring that effortless, sun-drenched charm straight to your backyard. Ideal for hosting a stylish dinner party, garden gathering, or milestone celebration, this on-trend look pairs vintage-inspired china, citrus tones, and rich wood textures for a casual yet elevated setting. With thoughtfully curated rentals and plenty of summer flavor, we’ll help you design a scene that feels like an Italian escape—no passport required.
Taste of Italy
Every unforgettable European picnic begins with an al fresco table, and we have just the pieces to bring that Amalfi Coast flair to life. Layer our Coronado China, with its sophisticated motif, and minimalist Artisan or Earthen Alabaster China to create a collected, curated feel. Add texture and warmth with our Walnut Rattan Chargers. A classic choice that pairs beautifully with Cornflower Costa Nova Napkins and Aged Oak Dining Table. Whether you prefer bold citrus colors or soft neutrals, these versatile rentals provide the perfect foundation for a table that’s as delicious to look at as the food served on it.

Sit Back and Savor
Creating a space where guests can relax and linger is key to capturing that slow, celebratory European vibe. And our seating options are designed for just that! The Cross-Back Chair offers timeless rustic charm. Or the Antique White Bentwood Chair brings a touch of vintage elegance with a light, breezy look. For communal-style gatherings, our Rustic Benches encourage closeness and conversation. And the Adeline Dining Chair adds an elevated, graceful touch. Mixed and matched or styled uniformly, these seating choices feel both inviting and effortlessly chic.

Clink in Color
No picnic is complete without beautiful glassware that shines in the evening sun. Our collection delivers both color and charm. Pour a chilled spritz into our beaded Meridian Blue Glasses for a pop of coastal cool, or serve rosé in the softly-hued Sunset Wine Glass for a golden-hour glow. For a nod to vintage glamour, the Gatsby Coupe Glass brings timeless elegance to your bubbly. Meanwhile, the Deco Amber Tumbler adds just the right amount of retro flair. These standout pieces don’t just hold your drinks, they help set the mood.

When the sun dips low and the wine keeps flowing, a lounge setup is the perfect way to extend the evening without losing that laid-back, oceanside vibe. Our Ellison Sofa and matching chairs bring effortless coastal elegance to any backyard setting. Crafted from weathered teak and topped with crisp white cushions. Complete the look with the coordinating coffee table for a cohesive feel. Or, keep it simple when you feature the Estelle Quarter Round Sofa with gold hammered side tables for a subtle hint of shine.

In Stock | Must-Have Event Furniture for ConferencesSouthern Events Products |

Are you planning a conference and want to make sure your event stands out as both professional and stylish? Look no further than Southern Events for on-trend event furniture! Whether it’s comfortable seating, stylish staging, lounge areas for networking, or cocktail hour essentials, we have everything you need to create a memorable and successful event. Let’s dive into the must-have event furniture for conferences that will make a lasting impression on your guests and boost attendance in the years to come.
Take a Seat—Not a Chance on Comfort
Comfort is a crucial aspect of any conference. Attendees can spend hours seated, listening to speakers or presentations. Ensure they have a pleasant experience with our extensive range of comfortable seating options. From ergonomic Acrylic Ghost Arm Chairs to simple Folding Chairs with padding, we offer a variety of seating solutions to suit your event’s needs and theme.
If your conference includes workshops or requires attendees to take notes, don’t forget the importance of providing sturdy and spacious tables. Our inventory boasts a diverse selection of event tables, including classic rectangular options and contemporary round tables—perfect for taking notes or supporting laptops and other materials.


Center Stage: Where Style Meets Spotlight
Impress your attendees and elevate the overall look of your event with our stylish staging and podium options. A well-designed stage not only provides a focal point for speakers and presentations but also adds a touch of professionalism, especially with our Acrylic Podium!
We can also provide skirting for a more cohesive look. To make the stage even more captivating, consider using pipe and drape as backdrops to avoid a mundane corporate vibe. These can be customized to feature event sponsors or display important branding elements—and even serve as a photo opportunity!


Lounge Around (and Make Connections!)
Networking is one of the primary benefits of attending a professional conference. Give your attendees ample opportunity to foster connections by creating inviting lounge areas. Our event furniture includes plush sofas, cozy armchairs, and elegant accent tables. Perfect for attendees to unwind or mingle between sessions during multi-day events.
These pieces allow guests to take a break and recharge before diving back into the conference. Take a look at our curated Lounge Packages, or mix and match pieces to create a one-of-a-kind setup. Just don’t forget to complete the look with a rug!


Raise the Bar (Literally)
End your conference on a high note with a stylish cocktail hour! Our event furniture for conferences includes bars and storage that are not only functional but also add a touch of sophistication to your gathering.
Consider our contemporary Thompson White Bar or the elegant Collins Black Wood Bar—either of which pairs beautifully with the Black Barback Shelf or the Gold Barback Shelf. To complement the event bar, make sure you have on-trend glassware that suits your menu. From modern wine glasses to bold beaded tumblers, we offer a wide selection to choose from. If needed, add on a set of cocktail tables so guests can comfortably enjoy their drinks.


Planning a successful large-scale gathering requires attention to detail, and event furniture for conferences can make all the difference! From seating to staging and cocktail hour essentials, Southern Events has everything you need. Contact our team to start planning or for additional event ideas and inspiration.

Tablescape Rentals That Simplify Hosting Without Compromising StyleSouthern Events Products |

Hosting a dinner party should be joyful, not stressful. But when you’re the one planning the evening, setting the table can feel like a balancing act between style and simplicity. That’s where tablescape rentals come in. Whether you’re planning a milestone birthday, holiday gathering, or intimate dinner with friends, Southern Events in Nashville offers stylish tabletop rentals that not only elevate your table setting but make cleanup a breeze. From elegant serveware to freshly pressed linens, our rentals help you create a picture-perfect spread without the post-party mess.
Elegant Beverage & Coffee Service
Beverage service is often the first impression your guests have of your event. Whether you’re pouring cocktails, mocktails, sweet tea, or iced water, the vessel matters. We offer beautiful silver beverage pitchers and glass carafes that make even water feel like a special treat. These elegant, uniform pieces streamline self-service and elevate the look of your drink station. When dessert rolls around, add our silver coffee or tea server sets—complete with matching cut glass creamers and sugar bowls—to keep your beverage service cohesive and charming.
Pro Tip: Set up a self-serve coffee bar using our silver trays and tiered stands for an inviting, hotel-lounge-inspired touch.

Make a Statement with Tiered Stands
Tiered stands are one of our favorite multitaskers. Use them for appetizers, desserts, or even miniature place cards and favors. Here are a few standout options:
- Willow Tiered Stand: Rustic, organic, and perfect for charcuterie or brunch.
- Hamilton 3-Tier Silver Serving Stand: Formal and classic, ideal for weddings or elegant soirées.
- White Square 3-Tier Serving Stand: Clean and versatile, fitting for baby showers, brunches, or garden parties.
These stands not only make serving easier. They add vertical interest to your table setting rentals, helping guide the guest experience and encouraging conversation.

Family-Style Hosting Made Effortless
Family-style meals create a sense of warmth and community. However, to pull one off successfully, it requires the right pieces. Our collection of melamine serving platters—deep dish, oval, rectangular, and square—is perfect for main dishes, sides, and salads. These coordinated serving pieces eliminate the need to cobble together a mismatched assortment of bowls and trays.
Hosting Tip: Use our bread baskets (available in Brown Oval Rattan, Gold Oval, or Silver Round)to serve warm rolls or freshly-baked loaves with style. Pair them with flavored butters or olive oil in small ramekins for added charm.

Linens That Save Time & Look Good Doing It
Few things say “finished” like a well-dressed table. Renting linens means you don’t have to worry about last-minute ironing, post-party washing, or storing tablecloths you’ll only use once or twice a year. With a wide selection of styles, colors, and materials, our linen rentals help you create a cohesive tablescape that aligns with your event theme. And when it comes to cloth napkins, they’re not just a style upgrade over disposables. They’re more absorbent, better for the environment, and much more elegant to display on your tabletop.

Set the Mood with Servingware
From first course to final toast, your servingware ties your whole event together. At Southern Events, our inventory includes:
- China in various patterns and tones for every event style.
- Chargers that add depth, polish, and drama to place settings.
- Flatware options, from classic silver to modern matte gold.
- Glassware, including wine glasses, goblets, and highballs.
You can create a completely customized place setting that feels luxurious without feeling excessive. All without the need to buy (or clean!) a dozen extra place settings.

Style Doesn’t Have to Mean Stress
Tablescape rentals offer a sustainable, stylish, and smart way to entertain. Explore our full collection of tabletop rentals to start planning your next effortlessly elegant event. Our experienced team is ready to help you choose the perfect pieces for your theme, guest count, and vision. Reach out to get started!

Backyard Toddler Birthday Party Rentals for Any ThemeSouthern Events Products, Trends and Inspiration |

Planning a toddler’s birthday party in your own backyard offers the perfect blend of comfort, fun, and flexibility. Whether you’re envisioning a whimsical garden tea party, a colorful carnival celebration, or a simple playdate with family and friends, the right rentals can help you create a safe and stylish environment that makes your little one feel celebrated. At Southern Events, we specialize in toddler birthday party rentals designed to elevate any theme while prioritizing child-sized comfort and big kid fun.
The Importance of Child-Sized Furniture
When hosting a birthday party for toddlers, it’s crucial to think from their perspective—literally. Adult-sized furniture can be intimidating or uncomfortable for young children, especially during a meal or activity. Choose from:
- Children’s Fruitwood Farm Table – A rustic yet refined option for a countryside tea party or woodland-themed birthday.
- Children’s Acrylic Chiavari Chair – Crystal-clear and elegant, perfect for a fairy-tale or winter wonderland theme.
- Gold Bow Chair – Adds a regal touch for princess-themed celebrations or tea parties.
- White Resin Folding Chair – Clean and modern; pairs well with bold linens or colorful decor.
- Cross Back Chair – Perfect for barnyard, garden, or vintage-style parties.
- Chiavari Chairs in Fruitwood, White, and Pink – Choose a color that complements your palette and theme.


Creating a Cohesive Theme with Versatile Rentals
Every toddler has their favorite characters, colors, and activities—and our goal is to bring those favorites to life through rentals that are as adorable as they are practical. Start with a simple foundation like a pop-up tent for shade. These tents come in various sizes and protect guests from the sun or rain, allowing the party to go on no matter the weather.
Next, add decorative and functional accents to elevate the experience. A market cart makes a fun and flexible centerpiece. Use it to display cupcakes, serve lemonade, or create a drop-off zone for gifts. Our white 6-tier serving tower is a favorite for showcasing sweet treats or party favors. While bookshelves in black, white, or gold can be transformed into themed displays for books, plush toys, or goody bags.
Want a showstopper centerpiece? Set up the scalloped Ellie Gold Cake Stand or a sleek glass cake stand for your little one’s birthday cake. These stands photograph beautifully and give your dessert the attention it deserves.


Making Room for Activities
Toddlers love to move, and a safe, stable surface is essential when planning games or activities. Our dance floors are not just for weddings and formal events. Available in colors like black and white, plank wood, and solid black, they create a clean and secure space for toddlers to dance, jump, and play. Dance floors also serve as a great place for group games, sing-alongs, or parachute play.
And because hydration is just as important as playtime, our vintage washtubs are a charming way to keep kid-friendly drinks within easy reach. Stock them with juice boxes or water bottles, and place them near play or dining areas for convenience.


Add a Pop of Personality with Linens and Decor
One of the easiest ways to tie your theme together is through linens. Southern Events offers a variety of fun and festive table linens to suit any party concept. Some fun kid-friendly favorites:
- Black & White Stripe – Perfect for circus or animal themes.
- Mango Tango – Bright and citrusy, great for tropical or summer parties.
- Pink Sequins – A hit for princess, unicorn, or ballerina parties.
- Lagoon Poly – Adds a splash of sea-blue for under-the-sea or mermaid vibes.
Our design team can help you mix and match colors and textures for a cohesive and curated look that brings your toddler’s theme to life.

Complete the look with a vintage rug for a lounge that doesn’t just say “sit here.” It says, “Stay awhile.”

Dine Like You Mean It
Forget the fuss of folding tables—your dinner setup should be just as beautiful as the scenery. We’re talking long, rustic tables made for shared plates and laughter. Our Fruitwood Farm Tables with Rustic Benches are a go-to for a laid-back yet refined vibe. Or go a little more elevated with the Aged Oak Dining Table and classic Cross-back Chairs. A classic combo that looks like it belongs on the pages of a bridal magazine.

The Tabletop Glow-Up
This is where the magic happens. Your tablescape is your chance to tell a story. And we have all the charming details to help you do it. Start with earth-toned linens, like a bold Copper Poly or a Natural Sahara Runner. Then layer in one-of-a-kind chargers like the Walnut or Rattan White Wash. Mix in dinnerware like the Earthen Alabaster China or romantic Emmie Floral China for personality and polish. If you’re going for a simpler look, or create an elegant stack with the Gwyneth Glass Charger and China. Finish the look with the charming Abby Flatware or glam Austin Gold Flatware.

Serve It Up
Sure, you’ve nailed the vibe—but the food service matters, too. That’s where our serving rentals come in. Keep things classy and coordinated with chafing dishes, white melamine family-style trays, and silver serving pieces. Plus, oval bread baskets and display trays for hors d’oeuvres or sweets. For drinks, set up a stylish hydration station with carafes, pitchers, and glass beverage dispensers that blend form and function. It’s the little things that make hosting feel seamless and oh-so polished.
