Graduation ceremonies may look a little different this year, but that doesn’t make this milestone any less important! Graduation is after all a momentous success and lots of people will want to witness the tradition of their loved one walking across the stage. Adjustments for the health and safety of students, faculty, and their family are important when hosting an event of this scale. Today we’re sharing our in-stock graduation ceremony rentals that will make for a safer celebration.

Event Staging

Walking across the graduation stage to receive their diploma is a highly anticipated moment for most students. Our sturdy staging (available with and without carpet) includes all of the basics, such as steps and staircases with hand railing.

Want to take your graduation ceremony to the next level? Opt for our Harpeth stage facade and columns for a more polished look. They are customizable, allowing for different combinations and personalized insets – like your school colors or logo. Stage Skirting is another way to finish the look of your event stage, hiding cords and such below – now in stock in natural or black.

Event Flooring

Sometimes the best option is to host your graduation ceremony outdoors, perhaps under a tent. In which case, leveling the ground may be in order. To help, our DuraTrac flooring can easily be installed to create a level and sturdy floor throughout the entirety of your event space. It can be installed over grass, dirt, mud, and other uneven surfaces, to protect both your guests and your grass!

Graduation Chairs

Comfortable chairs are the bread and butter of a successful graduation ceremony. Before walking across the graduation stage, a solid portion of the day will be spent seated. Our classic folding chairs promise a put-together look and optimal comfort. Easy to load and transport, they are available in Fruitwood, White, and Black.

Fencing or Rope/Stanchion

Fencing is useful in a variety of ways, from restricting guest access to directing the flow of traffic. We offer beautiful white portable fencing creating organized entry and exit points at your event, as well as a border. Add rope and stanchion to your stage area keeping guests safe and giving the speaking staff or guests a designated space.

Lectern & Easels for Signage

You can’t overlook the importance of signage, whether it is for decoration or directions. We stock both black and gold aluminum easels, perfect for displaying your school logo, a program, or directions to different areas of the event. Carefully placed folding clips ensure that they will remain standing for the length of your event. Our lecterns may also be decorated with your school logo.

As the world slowly re-opens, people look forward to celebrating milestones and events that were temporarily postponed. And while many of these gatherings will remain smaller in size, for the safety and comfort of everyone, you can still celebrate in style. Get inspired by some of our must-have rentals for small gatherings, perfect for hosting intimate parties in the greater Nashville area.

Chairs & Tables

We’re kicking things off with the basics! Chairs & tables are a must, whether you are serving food or simply want to encourage guests to sit down and stay for a while. Our lounge packages feature beautiful furniture, perfect for a casual and socially distant evening in the backyard. When it’s time to eat, gather around our always beautiful Fruitwood Farm Table, with child-sized furniture (chairs included) to match. For a cocktail hour, a set of bistro tables and bar stools are a classic choice.

Stylish Rugs

Rugs are a must-have when it comes to defining a space. Large or small, they create a frame in which to lay out a social area. Alternatively, they add an additional level of comfort underfoot. With summer coming we’re favoring bright colors, like our Aqua Rug or Blue-Red Rug. For some extra pizzazz, try layering a few of your favorites.

Bar Service

With the weather warming up, you’ll want to treat your guests to a cold drink. We offer a variety of beautiful stands and displays, perfect for a small bar or self-serve area. Our 4ft Antique White Bar is an elegant choice for a more upscale event. Or for a quaint but stylish self-serve area, check out our Avenue Bar Back Shelf or Gold Rolling Bar Cart. Each of them has just enough space to hold glassware, alcohol, and your ingredients of choice. You will also have a wide selection of gorgeous glassware to choose from, to complement the style of your event!

A Fun Focal Point

Every party needs a unique, eye-catching focal point. When hosting happy hour or your event will include alcohol, our Boxwood Wall makes for a fun interactive photo backdrop or central spot for guest place cards. Alternatively, our bell tent is a totally unique rental that will wow each and every one of your guests. It can be used to create a trendy boho backdrop, as well as double as a play or dining area for youngsters in attendance.

Tabletop Decor

Don’t let your tables sit bare! Even a small centerpiece goes a long way. We offer a variety of lanterns and votives in various colors. Use these as decoration or to create a warm ambiance once the sun goes down. If you plan on showcasing some flowers fresh from the garden, our cylindrical and square glass vases are an elegant choice.

Come warmer weather in Tennessee, there is nothing more enjoyable than surrounding yourself with friends and family outdoors. You need to create a bright and memorable setup that complements the season. Today we’re sharing pastel summer event inspiration for your upcoming summer or spring Nashville celebrations, featuring our stylish in-stock rentals.

Soft Pastel Colors

This season we’re complementing the lush foliage and soft flowers with pastel palettes! Ideal for an outdoor event, it will stand out with a fresh and elegant look. While this design features our Wisteria Satin linens, we also offer a Peach Poly, Light Blue Pindot, and Mediterranean Satin. For a cohesive vibe, consider hand-written details for place cards, the menu, or event signage.

Earthen China

To plate up dinner, check out an equally gorgeous alternative to classic china: earthenware. It comes in three beautiful colors, Alabaster, Onyx, and Stone. While Alabaster and Stone are beautiful for a pastel look, don’t overlook Onyx which can be used to lend some contrast to an otherwise bright tablescape. To amp up the look of our earthen china, consider complementing it with one of our unique chargers!

Romantic Chiffon Runners

In terms of centerpieces, florals, lanterns, and geometric table decor – all add to the beauty of a tablescape. If you’re looking to add some texture and romance, however, we recommend a chiffon table runner. They can be used standalone or atop table linens to add volume. You can let them pool around your centerpieces and/or allow them to drape off the edge of your tables for a loose but elegant look.

Elegant Harlin Chairs

One of our favorite pieces of furniture, our Harlin dining chairs are a stunning option for your summer event. Made of wood and with stylish backs, they add an instant touch of elegance to any tablescape. They can also easily be decorated with greenery, for a fresh spring or summer look. For a table that complements these chairs, consider featuring our Fruitwood Farm Tables.

Santorini Furniture

If you plan on taking full advantage of summertime in Tennesse, an outdoor lounge area is a good idea. Perfect for a cocktail hour or post-dinner drinks, it will allow your guests to get cozy and mingle all evening. Keeping with our pastel summer event inspiration, we recommend our Santorini Off-White Sofa paired with an accent table. Or feel free to choose from one of our curated lounge packages!

Rolling Bar Cart

Cold drinks are a must-have at any summer celebration! This summer, we’re loving the look of our vintage-inspired Hob Nob glassware. They’re the perfect way to add a little bit of texture to your tablescape. Or for a more sleek and elegant look opt for our Pure glassware, available in wine glasses, goblets, and champagne flutes. To complete the look, create a luxurious and memorable drink station using our rolling gold bar cart!

A stylish tablescape is a memorable element at any event, corporate gala or social dinner party. For many, the first addition is a charger plate, a large decorative base upon which other dinnerware is placed. These pieces serve as an effective yet simple way to elevate a tablescape, by complementing or contrasting your other serving ware, decor, or color palette. Take a look at our selection of unique chargers, now in-stock and available to rent!

Belmont Charger

A classic favorite, the Belmont Charger is a clear glass plate featuring a beautiful silver beaded rim. This versatile piece looks beautiful when stacked with bright or dark serving ware, creating an elegant yet subtle sparkle. Below, it is complemented by our Onyx China, Cameron Flatware, and Cybil Glassware, for a modern and dark yet whimsical look.

Copper Glass Charger

A newer item in our catalog, the Copper Glass Charger is a chic piece that lends a gorgeous touch of metallic to any tablescape. The bright copper rim has a feathered edge, giving it a fun contemporary vibe. Consider complementing this unique charger with our Brushed Copper flatware and Carrera Marble Dinner Plate.

Darcy Bone China Charger

When your goal is a classically feminine tablescape, you can’t go wrong with our Darcy Bone China Charger. With a dainty rim, this delicate plate looks stunning for a more traditional design. If you’re a fan of the current cottage core trend, we recommend pairing this plate with our Heirloom China, Abby Flatware, and vintage-inspired Hob Nob Glassware.

Glass Charger with Gold Rim

Our Glass Charger with a Gold Rim is a must-have for any luxe modern tablescape. Simple yet bold, it features a clear glass center and a metallic gold rim. Popular for weddings, it looks especially beautiful when contrasting rustic elements, or when complementing other minimalist details. As shown below, it is paired with our Austin Flatware and Pure Glassware.

Glass Charger with Silver Rim

Similar to the previous design, our Glass Charger with a Silver Rim is an equally gorgeous alternative to gold. It offers a cooler tone to a tablescape that may be preferable for a brighter palette or cool weather event. On the tablescape shown below, it is complemented by a modern color palette of grey and purple.

Gold Round Laquer Charger

Our Gold Rouge Laquer Charger is a classic that can be dressed up or down. It can be paired with a wide range of china, including our Darcy China or mixed and matched with our Gold China. To complement the metallic shade, feature it alongside our Gold Austin Flatware.

Medallion Gold Glass Charger

If you want a tablescape that screams luxe, check out our Medallion Gold Glass Charger! This intricate design is a stunner and looks even more beautiful stacked with our Athena or Ophelia China. The tablescape shown is topped with a Spice Velvet linen for a slight boho look. But for an equally dramatic yet moody vibe, opt for a darker color such as Black velvet.

Rouge Round Laquer Charger

A versatile piece, the Rouge Round Laquer Charger is a rich copper tone. Although it looks gorgeous with neutral tones, feel free to spice up your tablescape by adding in more vibrant colors! As you can see below, it looks beautiful with a deep blue, true red, as well as silver metallics, and Earthenware.

Scalloped Wood Charger

Boho is in and our team at Southern Events is here for the trend! Our Scalloped Wood Charger is an easy way to lend a rustic yet charming look to your tablescape. It features a beautiful wood grain that perfectly contrasts bright serving ware, such as our White Round China. On the other hand, keep this unique charger front and center when pairing it with Clear Glass China.

Silver or Black Round Laquer Charger

Our Silver Round Laquer Charger is a stunning base for a cool weather tablescape that is modern and luxe. Consider pairing these unique chargers with vibrant linens, such as our Light Blue Pindot or Wisteria Satin tablecloths. Meanwhile, our Black Round Laquer Charger works well in as a grounding element in both neutral tablescapes and bright and bold looks. Consider pairing it with our Fuchsia Etched Velvet Linen or against our Grayson Tables.

White Round Porcelain Charger

There is nothing wrong with a traditional tablescape starring our White Round Porcelain Chargers! Lending a traditional look, this style is preferable for corporate events, in addition to formal weddings or similar social events. It is easily paired with a selection of our white or ivory linens. Consider adding a luxe metallic touch via the flatware!

Wood Round Charger

Don’t be mistaken, our Wood Round Charger can be used for more than rustic-themed tablescapes. While this faux wood charger looks beautiful next to other rustic elements, it can also be used to create a fun and modern design. See below, where it is paired with bright whites, vibrant pink, and gold metallics.

Natural Lime & Lemon

Sometimes less is more! For this natural table design, fresh citrus and fruit was the star of the show. Atop Heritage Ivory Linens, we placed our simple Artisan China and Wood Round Charger, complemented by Brushed Copper Flatware. The centerpieces consisted of fresh greenery and citrus, which were perfect for the lush lawn setting. To tie some greenery into the tablescape, we opted for our favorite fern velvet napkins. This design is ideal for a bright mid-morning brunch or afternoon cocktail hour!

Rustic Farm-to-Table

When you want a casual yet put-together look, opt for a farm-to-table design. This simple tablescape features our Artisan China, Sophia Flatware, and Madison Glassware. Despite the minimal serving ware and linens, what truly makes this layout is the table and chairs. Take our Cross-back chairs, which are plain yet oh so elegant. For a pop of color, you might consider brightly-colored napkins or a table runner. Perhaps in our Cornsilk Poly or Peaches n’ Cream Poly.

Bold Black & Gold

Black and gold are a classic pairing and surefire way to make a statement. This luxe and bold backyard alfresco dining table showcase a mix of moody hues, including black, gold, and a variety of red shades. For the serving ware, we opted for our Austin Flatware, Medallion Gold Glass Charger, and Madison Glassware. What amplifies this tablescape is the balance from glam elements, such as the gold and acrylic details. Take for example our always popular Acrylic Ghost Chairs! If you prefer an equally colorful but bright style, take a look at this colorful backyard party.

Classic Cookout

There is something so charming about gingham, and this backyard cookout-inspired table just does it for us. It was created using our Onyx China and silver Sophia Flatware. The true black plates are an easy way to bring the fun gingham tablecloth back down to earth. Yet super cute coke bottle centerpieces and our contemporary Davis Glassware keep the overall vibe light. For a look that is slightly more toned down, switch out this tablecloth for a solid or neutral color.

Winter is a beautiful time to host a wedding in Tennessee! With an abundance of beautiful venues to choose from, both indoors and out, the right styling can make your day feel cozy, beautiful and timeless. Keep reading to get inspired for your Nashville winter wedding, as we spotlight some of our modern and stylish event rentals to bring your vision to life.

Pastel Dream

Who said pastels were only for the spring? Not us! For this Nashville winter wedding, a dreamy palette of white, pastel pink and gold was on display. At the reception, our Gold Chiavari Chairs and bright white linens worked wonders, to lend a chic feminine look. The tablescape matched, with Gold Rimmed Glass Chargers, Ophelia China, Gold Austin Flatware, and voluminous floral centerpieces while velvet linens added a rich feel that we love for winter weddings.

For a unique seating area, our stunning Mercer collection was used. Paired with a handful of bright (and cozy) pillows in a range of pink shades, it blended in with the setting perfectly! Not to mention was incredibly comfy. Adding faux fur throws would be another way to up the cozy factor of this winter wedding lounge.

Modern Luxe 

Many brides enjoy a wedding look that is luxe, and we can’t blame them! Let’s start with our Gold Chiavari chairs, with seats for extra comfort and coziness! One of our most popular rentals, these chairs look gorgeous, whether they are dressed up or down.

For a luxe winter reception, we have to recommend a mix of green and gold. The touch of green keeps things fresh during the winter while the metallic accents sparkle in candlelight – a must for winter weddings. Below you will see our gorgeous Aubrey Gold Rimmed Glassware, Gold Accent China, and rich Magnolia Velvet Linens.

Effortless Minimalism 

Another winter wedding trend is minimalism as it reflects nature’s sleepy state.  A minimalist-inspired table focuses on clean lines and limited embellishments, and yet are still oh so beautiful. For our neutral loving brides, this tablescape is a winner. Warm yet modern, farm tables create a clean based to build a thoughtful place setting.  This look was created using our Artisan China, Como Flatware, Silver Glass Rimmed Charger, Cybil Glassware, and Havana Cafe Linens. And if you wanted, we think a pop of color via colored napkins would work well too! You can see that on the second tablescape with our Fern Velvet Napkins and greenery in the centerpiece.

At this indoor event, we love how this couple elevated their minimal look with a luxe accent like our Gold & Ivory Fresco Linens. Paired with pastel pink napkins and Gold Austin Flatware as well as our Cross-Back Chairs it’s a simple look with a sweet and romantic feel. It’s the perfect set up for a winter couple wanting to mix styles, effortlessly.

Winter Themed

Last but not least, we can’t leave out winter-themed weddings! These tables embrace the elements more traditional to the season like snow flocked boughs, pinecones or lanterns. For our first table, we used our dainty Darcy China, Hammered Flatware, and classic Madison Flatware. While the serving ware is simple, the fun winter wonderland centerpiece really brings this set up home – with a soft grey table runner and our rustic tabletop lanterns.

Photo by Jen and Chris Creed

Meanwhile, this outdoor winter table blends wintry elements with a minimal look. Featuring our Darcy China, Stone China and Alabaster China ready for a winter feast and cozy drink, our Gold Austin Flatware and Reese Glassware added a luxe metallic touch. Subtle grey-purple napkins nod to colors of the season, tying it all together.

2021 is rapidly approaching and with it are new event trends! After all the challenges of 2020, our team at Southern Events is looking forward to getting creative to help you design memorable celebrations in the year ahead. Get inspired for your future events when you take a look at the 2021 trends, featuring our in-stock rentals.

Luxe But Sustainable

Luxe events aren’t going anywhere but we’re seeing an increased interest in sustainability. There are multiple ways to host a sustainable event via rentals. The first being reusable serving ware, including china, flatware, glassware, as well as linens. Rentals are an easy and beautiful way to reduce the waste produced by your event.

In terms of styling, expect lots of lush plants & greenery. Potted plants are especially beautiful and perfect for aisle decor and table centerpieces.  The same goes for dried plants, which lend lots of texture. Pampas grass in particular is trending, as it easily adds volume and height. Expect to see an increasing amount of dried floral bouquets and arrangements.

This emerald, cream & gold tablescape features our Gold Rim Glass Charger, Alabaster Earthenware, Gold Austin Flatware, Fern Velvet Linens, Colored Glassware & Pure Glassware.

All Out Events

Go big or go home right? One 2021 trend is events that are memorable, not necessarily in size but in the details. Diva Boho themed events are a great example. Think of bold & intricate geometric patterns, and voluminous flowers or other organic arrangements. Metallics are also here to stay, as they are a quick way to add some sparkle and shine to an event. At this type of event, you can tell that every thoughtful detail was well planned and executed.

This bright textured tablescape was created using our Medallion Gold Glass Chargers, Onyx Earthenware, Austin Flatware & Audrey Gold Rim Glassware.

A Focus on Sentimentality

People are gravitating towards heirlooms and the texture of various things that draw them to the past – we expect this event trend to only get bigger in 2021. Not necessarily boho theme, but colors and textures the incite a sense of nostalgia. So sustainable handmade pieces that lend texture, such as clay, jute and wicker decor. This trend also applies to attire, in the form of heirloom jewelry, clothing and accessories. For weddings, think dresses with intricate old school embroidery in an ivory or cream color. One great example are celestial-inspired events, where texture and vintage or retro items are easy to incorporate into the design.

Recreate this romantic neutral design with our Driftwood Velvet Napkins, Artisan China, Cybil Glassware, & Como Flatware.
