Our Favorite Wedding Plate Pairings from Modern to Moody

Southern Events Products

wedding plate rentals and ideas

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.

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.

green event ideas

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.

Tablescape Rentals That Simplify Hosting Without Compromising Style

Southern Events Products

tabletop rentals nashville

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.

melamine servingware rentals

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.

Backyard Toddler Birthday Party Rentals for Any Theme

Southern Events Products, Trends and Inspiration

toddler birthday party rentals

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.

Al Fresco Done Right: Rent Outdoor Furniture for a Chic Open-Air Event

Southern Events Products, Trends and Inspiration

rent outdoor furniture

There’s nothing quite like a celebration in an open or breezy setting—where the wine flows, the vibes are relaxed, and the décor feels straight out of a dream. Whether you’re hosting in a backyard, on a covered patio, or in a venue with an open-air feel, it’s your chance to impress without the fuss. At Southern Events, we help you rent outdoor furniture and curated event rentals that look just as stunning under the sun as they do under a roof. Take a peek at the versatile essentials that will have guests swooning before the appetizers even hit the table.

Lounge in Style

Step one to an effortlessly chic outdoor event? A stylish lounge setup. It invites guests to relax, mingle, and sip in comfort. Set the scene with the plush Fern Velvet Sofa, paired with sleek Adeline Dining Chairs and glam Gold Hammered Accent Tables. Want something a little moodier? The Bennett Leather Sofa delivers major wow, especially alongside our Bellamy Beige Linen Bench and Charlotte Side Tables. 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.

Let’s celebrate one of our greatest hits! The Liana china is still quite new, but it’s been styled in so many creative ways. We love the combination of the green dishes with marigold yellow flowers and fruit accents! 🍐🌼
