Outdoor wedding ceremonies in Nashville come in every style and setting imaginable. From lush gardens and rolling farmland to city rooftops and lakeside docks, an open-air celebration brings the beauty of nature front and center. 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
• Acrylic Ghost Armless Chairs for a sleek, modern contrast to outdoor backdrops
• Black Willow Chairs for a dramatic, fashion-forward vibe

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.

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?

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.

From Heirloom to Modern

What we love most about this aesthetic is its versatility. A vintage wedding tablescape can feel relaxed and garden-party chic or dressed to the nines for a black-tie affair. It all comes down to how you pair your pieces. With our collection of vintage wedding rentals, you can bring a cohesive, customized vision to life that honors tradition while still feeling totally current.

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.

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

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.

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.
