Instagram-Worthy Tabletop Rentals for an Elegant Birthday Dinner

Southern Events Products

birthday party dinner ideas

When it comes to hosting an elegant birthday dinner, the table is where the magic happens. Guests may gather for cocktails and conversation, but it’s the dining experience that leaves the most lasting impression. Every detail—from the linens to the glassware—works together to create a scene that feels both personal and extraordinary. If you’re wondering, “How do I make a birthday dinner feel special?”, it begins with tabletop rentals as thoughtful as the guest list itself.

Luxe Linens That Set the Mood

Table linens set the tone, and we carry an array of options that balance sophistication with style. For a bold, mature choice, the Black Botanica Tablecloth offers a refined print that feels timeless yet impactful. The Labella Pink linen is another favorite for birthday rentals, a chic option that strikes the perfect balance between fun and flirty. For a more relaxed setting, the Savannah Sage Plaid brings classic charm with a contemporary color palette, ideal for a brunch celebration or al fresco soirée. If you prefer understated texture, pairing Havana Ecru with our Natural Sahara runner creates a timeless combination.

And of course, napkins should not be overlooked! Whether you choose a textured fabric or a pop of color, they add dimension and tie the entire look together.

Place Settings that Elevate Every Bite

Place settings are where style truly shines. An earthy base of Earthen China paired with a Rattan Charger feels grounded and natural, perfect for those who love an organic aesthetic. For something playful, floral designs like our Emmie or Liana China bring freshness to both indoor and outdoor celebrations. Gold accents elevate the scene with glamorous detail—think Athena Gold Rim China or the Medallion Gold Glass Charger for a truly luxe setting. For a more mature, understated look, the Carrera Marble Dinner Plate or our Gwyneth Glass Collection adds sophistication with subtle texture and elegance.

Glassware to Sip and Celebrate

Glassware is an equally important part of the equation, especially for those who value the art of entertaining. Whether you’re crafting individual cocktails, dishing out a batch drink, or raising a glass of champagne, we have the perfect vessel. Colored glassware, like our Beaded or Deco styles, brings vibrancy to the table. Meanwhile, classic Martini or Gatsby Coupe glasses add an air of old-world charm. For a clean, modern feel, recycled glassware or Davis rock glasses keep things simple but refined. And with dedicated glasses for every variety of wine, your “birthday party rentals near me” Google search just got easier.

Layered Neutrals, on the other hand, offers timeless elegance with opulent linens, textured place settings, and warm touches of copper.

Party Table Rental 101: Styles, Sizes & Setup Tips

Southern Events Products

party table rental nashville

Tables may not be the first thing that comes to mind when you start planning a party, but they set the stage for how your event looks and flows. From dining to dancing, displays to drinks, tables shape the experience for your guests. With our party table rental selection, we make it easy to find the right style and size for any celebration. Wondering how many tables do I need for my party? Or should I rent round or rectangular tables? Let’s dive into the basics so you can choose with confidence.

The Basics: Folding Tables for Every Setup

Folding tables are the workhorses of any event. Available in round and rectangular banquet styles, they’re versatile, affordable, and pair beautifully with our linen rentals. Round table rentals encourage conversation and are ideal for seated dinners, while rectangular banquet tables maximize space and create long, communal layouts. We even carry serpentine tables, which are perfect for creative setups like curved buffets or bar stations. You can achieve a similar look by staggering round tables side by side with coordinated linens for a flowing design.

Specialty Tables for Added Style

Looking for furniture that doesn’t need to be covered? Our specialty tables are a stylish solution when you want to skip the linens or complement a unique venue.

  1. Rustic Farm Tables – A timeless favorite that works beautifully for outdoor parties and barn venues
  2. Aged Oak Dining Tables – Modern and elegant, perfect for upscale gatherings
  3. White Antique Dining Tables – A refined choice that brings vintage charm to any celebration

Pair these with wood seating like the Harlin or Adeline Dining Chairs, or classic Cross-Back Chairs for a cohesive, polished look.

Cocktail Tables: Where the Fun Happens

Every good party needs a spot for guests to gather with drinks in hand. That’s where cocktail tables come in. Do I need cocktail tables for my party? The answer is almost always yes, especially if you’re planning a cocktail hour, reception, or casual get-together. Some of our favorites include:

  1. Loren Gold Bistro Table with a glass top, paired with an Acrylic Ghost Barstool for a sleek, modern vibe
  2. Charleston Bistro Table or Hudson Outdoor Bistro Table for timeless versatility indoors or out
  3. Palmer Bistro Tables with matching chairs in light wood for a relaxed, coastal-inspired look
  4. Whiskey Barrels with Barnwood Tops or umbrellas for rustic charm that doubles as a conversation starter

Children’s Tables: For the Little Guests

Don’t forget about your youngest partygoers. Our collection includes round and rectangular folding children’s tables as well as a charming Fruitwood Farm Table in kid-friendly proportions. They’re perfect for birthday parties, kids’ corners at weddings, or family-friendly gatherings.

Dressing It Up with Linens

Tables look best when styled thoughtfully! Our wide range of linen rentals makes it easy to tailor your tablescape to your theme. Crisp white linens keep things classic, velvet linens add luxe texture, and patterned linens bring personality to the mix. Whether you’re covering folding tables or layering runners over farm tables, linens are the finishing touch that ties everything together.

Putting It All Together

So, how many tables do you need for your party? A good rule of thumb is one dining table for every 8 to 10 guests, plus extras for food displays, gifts, and drinks. Round tables foster connection, rectangular banquet tables maximize space, and cocktail tables add a natural mingling point. Pair them with the right linens, seating, and accents, and you’ll have a party layout that’s both functional and beautiful. Ready to plan your perfect setup?

Southern Events Products

party equipment rental

Planning a party is exciting, but it can also feel like a never-ending to-do list. From tables and chairs to dance floors and lighting, the list of essentials grows quickly. By working with a local event rental company, you can check off all the big items in one place and focus on the fun details. Whether you are hosting a birthday, wedding, or fundraiser, we have the party equipment rentals to create the perfect setup.

The Basics: Tables and Chairs

Every party starts with a place to sit, eat, and mingle. Renting tables and chairs ensures your guests are comfortable and your space feels complete. From classic folding chairs and banquet tables to stylish cross-back seating and sleek cocktail tables, there is an option for every type of celebration.

Pro tip: Mix high-top tables with lounge seating to encourage mingling during cocktail hours or casual gatherings.

Dance Floors: The Life of the Party

If you plan to keep your guests moving, a dance floor rental is a must. Not only does it designate a central spot for fun, but it also helps protect your venue’s floors. Choose a white dance floor for an elegant, modern look or go with a wood finish for a warm, timeless feel. Either way, your guests will thank you when the DJ cranks up the music.

Catering & Concessions

Food and drinks are at the heart of any celebration. Our catering rentals make service easy and stylish, from buffet tables and serving platters to beverage dispensers. For extra fun, add concession equipment like a vintage-inspired popcorn machine. This piece is a guaranteed hit for kids’ parties, school events, and family gatherings.

Extras That Elevate

Sometimes it’s the little things that make the biggest impact. Stage rentals can spotlight a band or speaker, while tents keep guests comfortable rain or shine. Lounge furniture creates cozy hangouts, and linens pull your entire look together. When you work with a full-service event rental company, you can bundle these essentials to fit your space, guest count, and theme.

Why Rent Instead of Buy?

Renting event equipment saves time, money, and stress. You don’t have to worry about setup, storage, or cleanup. Plus, rentals allow you to experiment with styles and trends you might not want to commit to long-term. Need 100 chairs for one night only? No problem. Want a dance floor big enough for your whole wedding party? We’ve got you covered.

Let’s Get This Party Started

Party planning should be fun, not stressful. With our wide range of party equipment rentals, we make it easy to bring your vision to life. From the basics to the extras that wow, our team will help you choose exactly what you need for a celebration your guests will never forget.

Southern Events Products, Trends and Inspiration

outdoor wedding ceremony venue

Outdoor wedding ceremonies in Nashville come in every style and setting imaginable.

Whether you’ve dreamed of saying “I do” under a canopy of trees or in front of a sweeping skyline, Southern Events has the outdoor wedding ceremony rentals to make it unforgettable.

Seating That Sets the Scene

Your ceremony seating is more than a place for guests to land. It’s part of the overall atmosphere. Mix and match for an eclectic feel or choose a single style for a cohesive, classic look. For outdoor weddings, we love pieces that complement the surroundings and photograph beautifully:

  • Rustic Benches for a relaxed, natural look that blends seamlessly into a farm or garden venue
  • White Folding Chairs for a clean, traditional style that pops against green grass or colorful blooms
  • Cross-Back Chairs for a warm, wood-toned touch that feels timeless and elegant

Backdrops That Frame Your Vows

An outdoor venue often comes with a built-in view, but the right backdrop can help frame the moment and anchor your ceremony space. Even a simple structural element can help draw the eye and make your ceremony space feel complete. Some of our most-loved options include:

  • Fiona Ivory Mantle for a romantic, vintage-inspired setting
  • Wrought Iron Arch for a timeless structure that pairs beautifully with florals or greenery
  • Franklin Antique White Columns for a clean, architectural touch
  • Whiskey Barrels for rustic charm that also double as floral stands or drink stations

Style the Aisle

Your aisle is your runway, so give it the attention it deserves! Outdoor ceremonies are the perfect opportunity to incorporate natural textures and layered details. These little details not only elevate the design but also create gorgeous photo moments:

  • Vintage Rugs to add warmth, color, and a collected feel
  • Cowhide Rugs for a unique, boho-inspired twist
  • Accent Tables like our Claro Metal or Cheval Gold Mirror Side Tables topped with flowers or lanterns
  • Lush Florals or Greenery to line the pathway and soften the space

Frequently Asked Outdoor Ceremony Questions

  1. How many chairs do I need? Plan for one per guest, plus a few extras. For 150 guests, 160 chairs will give you flexibility for last-minute additions.
  2. What’s the best seating layout for outdoors? We love semi-circles for intimate spaces or staggered straight rows for a clean look. Curved layouts also work beautifully in wide-open areas.
  3. Do I need a backdrop if there’s a view? Not always! But a backdrop or framing element can help define the space and make photos feel intentional.
  4. Can I see the rentals in person? Absolutely. Schedule a visit to our Franklin showroom to see your options up close and design your dream setup.

The Secret to a Stylish Event? Linen Rentals That Wow

Southern Events Products, Trends and Inspiration

event linen rentals nashville

There’s something about beautiful linens that instantly set the tone for an event. They create the canvas for your table design, pull your color palette together, and bring a sense of polish that guests notice right away. Whether you are planning a wedding, gala, or corporate celebration, table linen rentals from Southern Events can take your space from simple to stunning! Get inspired by the latest additions to our inventory, with styling tips and tricks that guarantee a visually stunning tablescape.

All Eyes on the Table

Your tablescape is where guests spend the most time, making it the perfect place to showcase your style. Our inventory features a variety of tablecloth rentals, runners, and napkins that can serve as your backdrop or your focal point. These are a few of our current favorites:

  • Blue Floral Linen – A timeless pattern reminiscent of classic toile, perfect for garden parties or elegant brunches
  • Green Meadow Linen – A whimsical mix of green with bright pops of color, evoking a wildflower field in bloom
  • Regalia Velvet Linen – Deep black velvet adorned with bold florals and regal peacock motifs for a dramatic, luxe look
  • Verdant Bloom Linen – A contemporary field of cool-toned blue and green blooms for a fresh, editorial feel

Want to create depth? Layer a patterned runner over a solid cloth, or add napkins in a complementary shade to tie everything together.

What Size Linens Do I Need for My Event Tables?

The right size is key for a polished look. A standard 60-inch round table typically needs a 120-inch round tablecloth for a floor-length drop. For an 8-foot banquet table, a 90×156-inch linen will provide full coverage. If you prefer a more casual, mid-length look, opt for a shorter size. Not sure what will fit? Our team can guide you through measurements so every table is perfectly dressed.

How Much Does It Cost to Rent Linens for a Wedding?

Pricing depends on the fabric, size, and style. For standard polyester linens, expect to spend $10 to $25 per tablecloth. Specialty fabrics like velvet, satin, or sequined designs may range from $60 to $90 or more. Napkins, runners, and overlays are typically priced separately. Many couples find that investing in quality linens is worth it for the cohesive look and the time saved on cleaning and setup.

Beyond the Table

Linens are not just for dining tables. Use them to dress cocktail tables for a chic gathering space, drape a dessert table for a coordinated look, or cover buffet stations so they blend seamlessly with your décor. With the right fabric and color, linens can turn any functional space into a design feature.

Try It, Style It, Love It

The best way to see how linens can transform your event is to experience them in person. Visit our showroom in Franklin to explore our collection of table linen rentals, layer fabrics, and create sample setups with our event stylists. Prefer a ready-made look? Our Styled by Southern collections feature pre-curated designs that make linen selection effortless, perfect for planners or hosts who want a turnkey solution with standout style.

On Trend, Southern Events Products

vintage wedding rentals nashville

A classic Southern wedding never goes out of style. Especially when it blends charm, tradition, and thoughtful hospitality with heirloom-inspired details and elevated styling. Whether you’re planning a celebration under a sailcloth tent or inside a modern event barn, Southern Events offers the perfect way to create a nostalgic yet fresh atmosphere. Get inspired by our vintage wedding rentals featuring antique finishes, soft textures, and subtle palettes that feel timeless and refined.

A Venue-Worthy Vintage Backdrop

Start with a statement piece that sets the tone for your event. Our Franklin Antique White Bar is a perennial favorite with its paneling and vintage silhouette. It’s perfect for welcoming guests with signature drinks or champagne. For a twist on the classic look, opt for the same style in Sage (for a more modern, garden-inspired palette) or Fruitwood for a warmer, more rustic tone.

Serve It Up in Style

The charm is in the details—and that includes your serviceware. Our vintage catering rentals feature ornate silver trays in both round and rectangular styles, an elegant silver tea and coffee service with creamers and sugar bowls, and an assortment of cut glass pieces that add sparkle to any buffet or beverage station. These pieces pair perfectly with custom bar menus, biscuit bars, or mini dessert spreads.

The Vintage Wedding Tablescape

Table settings are a key part of designing a romantic vintage wedding, and our inventory includes countless combinations to suit your style!

Furniture: Choose the Antique White Bentwood Chair for a garden wedding feel. Or go more formal with the Adeline Dining Chair. Pair either with the White Antique Dining Table or the rustic-chic Aged Oak Dining Table for a curated mix of refined and relaxed.

Linens: Keep the look soft with the Blue Floral Tablecloth, Labella Pink, or Ivory Pearl Shalimar linen. Add a little structure and stitching with a Vallie Stitched Napkin in a neutral tone.

Dinnerware: For a layered, timeless look, use the Darcy China and Charger set with its subtle scalloped edge. Prefer something a little more playful? Try Emmie, with its delicate floral print. You can also create a curated feel using Heirloom China, a charming mix of vintage-style patterns that looks effortlessly collected over time.

Glassware: Opt for Hob Nob Glassware or Monaco Cut Crystal for sparkle and texture. Want a little color? Add vintage flair with our Amber or Green Colored Glassware, perfect for mixing into your palette without overpowering it.

Lounge Like It’s 1929

No Southern wedding is complete without a lounge area that invites guests to linger. Our Everly Sofa and Chair set brings vintage elegance to your cocktail hour or reception. Round out the setup with a Bellamy Linen Bench and layer in one (or two!) of our vintage rugs to complete the scene. These pieces work beautifully in outdoor tented spaces or under chandeliers in a barn, as well as tucked near the dance floor for when guests need a moment to kick off their heels.

Whether you’re planning a wedding, gala, birthday, or upscale dinner party, they add structure, style, and polish to your space without overpowering your other design choices. At Southern Events, we carry a full range of chairs, barstools, and children’s chairs in multiple finishes to complement any celebration.

Why Chiavari Chairs Are a Favorite

Loved for their iconic design, Chiavari chairs work with nearly every aesthetic. They’re elegant but not fussy, structured but not bulky, and they allow the rest of your decor to shine. Available in neutrals, metallics, and soft hues, these chairs can be styled for:

  • Classic weddings with gold or white chairs and soft linens
  • Modern galas using black or fruitwood finishes for sleek contrast
  • Garden parties or outdoor events with sage chairs
  • Upscale kids’ parties with adorable, scaled-down versions

No matter your venue or guest count, these pieces offer a cohesive, photo-friendly look that complements both simple and statement tablescapes.

Don’t Forget the Barstools

Elevate your cocktail hour or bar area with coordinating Chiavari barstools, available in black, fruitwood, gold, and white. These taller versions maintain the same refined design, giving your space a cohesive look from sit-down dinner to late-night drinks. Feature them alongside high-top cocktail tables or our custom rental bars. Use them to style a lounge area or to give your VIP guests a stylish perch.

Planning a Kid-Friendly Celebration?

We didn’t forget the little ones. Our Chiavari children’s chairs are just as stylish as the full-size versions—just smaller! Available in clear acrylic, fruitwood, pink, and white, these pint-sized seats are perfect for birthday parties, mini receptions, or family-friendly weddings. Pair them with solid or patterned linens from our inventory to create a trendy, age-appropriate party setup. Want more inspiration? Check out our blog on themed children’s parties.

Lush & Luxe: Green Rentals for Elevated Event Design

On Trend, Southern Events Products

green event rentals

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.
