Party Table Rental 101: Styles, Sizes & Setup TipsSouthern Events Products |

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.
- Rustic Farm Tables – A timeless favorite that works beautifully for outdoor parties and barn venues
- Aged Oak Dining Tables – Modern and elegant, perfect for upscale gatherings
- 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:
- Loren Gold Bistro Table with a glass top, paired with an Acrylic Ghost Barstool for a sleek, modern vibe
- Charleston Bistro Table or Hudson Outdoor Bistro Table for timeless versatility indoors or out
- Palmer Bistro Tables with matching chairs in light wood for a relaxed, coastal-inspired look
- 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?

Party Equipment Rental Made Easy: What to Rent and WhySouthern Events Products |

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. Reach out today with questions or to book an appointment at our showroom!

In Stock: Outdoor Wedding Ceremony RentalsSouthern Events Products, Trends and Inspiration |

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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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 WowSouthern Events Products, Trends and Inspiration |

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.

Vintage Wedding Rentals for a Southern-Inspired CelebrationOn Trend, Southern Events Products |

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.

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
Whether you’re planning an intimate dinner or a grand celebration, green is the color that brings calm, charm, and cohesion to your event. With green rentals ranging from sage tablecloths to plush velvet seating, Southern Events has everything you need to bring this lush trend to life. Ready to explore the possibilities?

Bring the Amalfi Coast to Your Backyard with European Picnic RentalsSouthern Events Products, Trends and Inspiration |

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.

Coastline Comfort
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. Whether guests are sipping limoncello or sharing stories under the string lights, this lounge invites them to stay a little longer.
