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.

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!

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.

For drinks, set up a stylish hydration station with carafes, pitchers, and glass beverage dispensers that blend form and function.

When it comes to event venues, The Barn at Sycamore Farms is a total showstopper. Think rustic charm meets modern elegance—a dreamy mashup of high ceilings, twinkling chandeliers, and those warm wood tones that make your Pinterest board jealous. Oh, and did we mention it’s fully equipped with heat and A/C? That’s right—no sweating through your vows or shivering over dinner here! Keep reading for ideas on how to customize the modern barn venue, plus some of our event rentals that can be used to elevate the space.

Room for Everyone (Seriously, Everyone)

Planning a wedding or corporate event with a guest list that just won’t quit? Sycamore Farms can comfortably host up to 400 guests, making it the perfect spot for grand celebrations—whether it’s a black-tie gala or a barn-chic wedding. And Southern Events Party Rental is here to help deck it out with our swoon-worthy rentals, from elegant lounge furniture to classic Chiavari chairs.

Say “I Do” to Tennessee Views

If you’re all about those outdoor wedding vibes, Sycamore Farms delivers. With not one, not two, but THREE stunning ceremony locations, you’ve got options. Whether you envision a waterside “I do” or a lush garden backdrop, there’s a picture-perfect spot waiting for you. And yes, we’ve got the chairs to seat every single guest comfortably—no standing-room-only situations here! To keep guests cool throughout the ceremony, consider greeting them with champagne or lemonade displayed on a white bookcase.

The Oversized Patio

Love the idea of fresh air but still want those modern amenities? The oversized patio at Sycamore Farms is the ultimate happy medium. Whether your guests are cooling off in the shade or cozying up near the heat lamps, this space is prime real estate for mingling. We’ve seen it styled in so many creative ways—from our Thompson Full Oval White Bar to colorful linen-dressed cocktail tables. Basically, it’s a blank canvas for whatever your party-planning heart desires.

Why Party Event Companies Are Essential for Stress-Free Event Planning

Southern Events Products

Let’s be honest: Planning a celebration can feel like juggling flaming swords while riding a unicycle. You want to throw a memorable event, whether it’s a birthday, anniversary, graduation, or even just because. However, the reality of playing host often involves spreadsheets, a million phone calls, and the looming fear of everything going wrong. Party event companies are the heroes in disguise, swooping in to save the day (and your sanity).

The Stressful Stuff We Take Off Your Plate

Throwing a party should be a blast, but there’s usually more stress than fun involved. Here’s how a party event company makes sure you don’t need a nap after sending out invites:

Managing Logistics

The logistics of any event—transporting equipment, setting up tables, and breaking everything down—are easily forgotten until it’s too late. Pro rental companies handle it all, from transporting rentals to setting them up exactly as you envision. No more worrying about chairs being placed the wrong way or guests wandering around looking for seating.

Adapting to Unpredictable Changes

Weather can be unpredictable, or maybe your guest list grows unexpectedly. Whatever the change, party event companies have the flexibility and resources to adjust. With a large inventory of items like tents, tables, and seating, we can handle changes at the last minute, ensuring everything goes smoothly no matter what.

Adding That Extra “Wow” Factor

So you’ve got the basics down—tables, chairs, food, drinks—but how do you take your event from “meh” to wow? Event rental companies bring in creativity and style, turning a basic event into a jaw-dropping celebration. Whether it’s through party props, decor, or a killer seating arrangement, we elevate your event to something truly spectacular.

Why Hiring a Party Event Company is Totally Worth It

Of course, you might be thinking: “Is all of this really necessary? Can’t I just rent some stuff and do it myself?” Well, sure, you could! But event planning is hard. Even if you have the time, expertise, and patience (which, let’s be honest, who does?), the stress can take away from the fun of the event.

Concern 1: “Is It Worth the Cost?”

Counterpoint: Sure, hiring a company is an investment, but consider the return: zero stress, a smoothly executed event, and a far more polished celebration than you could likely pull off on your own. And don’t forget—they’ll probably save you money in the long run with their vendor connections and budgeting expertise.

Concern 2: “I Don’t Want to Lose Control of My Event!”

Counterpoint: Think of a party event company as your personal event assistant. We work with you, not against you. Our goal is to make your vision come to life, not to impose ideas on you. You’re still the boss—we’re just the trusted professionals who ensure everything runs smoothly.
