Here at Southern Events, we love a modern tablescape! While modern can sometimes mean stark or cold, your table design can have a modern feel and still be elegant and timeless.  With earthy elements, luxe fabrics, clean lines, and ghost chairs, we created three modern Southern tablescapes to inspire you.

#1 Modern Luxe Tablescape

Moody and glam, our modern luxe style features our Black Dupioni Linen, Carrera Marble Dinner Plates, Cybil Glassware, Sofia Flatware and Glass Chargers with Gold Rim. Taper candles in a sleek iron candle holder with carefully placed succulents as well as our Acrylic Armless Ghost Chairs, give this tablescape it’s modern lines while remaining understated. This table design would be perfect for a black tie gala, fundraiser or chic rehearsal dinner.

#2 Modern Seaside Southern Tablescape

Navy linens, relaxed china & glassware combine with an airy centerpiece and copper flatware to create a tablescape perfect for dining al fresco! For this modern seaside-inspired Southern tablescape, we used our Navy Blue Velvet Linens, Earthen China, Davis Glassware and Brushed Copper Flatware. Our Acrylic Armless Ghost Chairs once again keep this relaxed tablescape modern. Plus, we love using navy as a neutral, especially when it’s velvet.

#3 Modern Tuscan Southern Tablescape

Give your event a modern Tuscan feel! With patterned dinnerware, aqua linens and an oversized, this modern southern tablescape just needs wine! Featuring our Coronado China, Earthen China, Sofia Flatware, Davis Glassware, Ocean Blue Velvet Linens, Dove Gray Chiffon Runner, and Acrylic Armless Ghost Chairs. The bold linen and coordinating china are reminiscent of Italy art and flair, while the simple centerpiece and glassware keep this modern look the perfect fit for outdoor garden events, dinner parties and springtime wedding & baby showers.

Whether celebrating a Southern wedding or a black tie gala, romantic textures and elegant design are simply timeless. With lush velvet fabric and a delicate color palette, our latest Parisian Romance inspired styled shoot was a true delight. We worked with the awesome team from Events by Janie and Ravenswood Mansion to style our distinct Nashville rentals into a love and lace-inspired look.

The scene was set with cameo blush velvet linens draped atop bistro tables – a romantic way to welcome guests to any Southern wedding. For the tablescape, our Bloom Chiffon Runner and Sophia Flatware  were paired with our Beaded Belmont Charger for a classic and feminine design (topped off with a dinner napkin folded into a rose!). Pure Glassware was set atop our Fruitwood Farm Table where our Adeline Dining Chairs completed the Parisian romance style inspiration. We can’t wait to bring this to our couples in 2019!

Thank you Jannah Alexander Photography for capturing the beautiful photos.

Southern Events Party Rental Company has large quantities for the most massive parties and biggest balls in the south! For Carly and Wilson’s big day, the couple gathered hundreds of their friends and family to celebrate in grand style in the Tennessee countryside. We were honored to work with the teams at Firefly Events and Enchanted Florist to outfit The Barn at Sycamore Farms in style with some of our newest rentals, including our specialty event bar, the Harpeth!

Guests were welcomed into the luxe barn with our comfortable lounge furniture – the perfect spot to enjoy cocktails or take a seat while waiting for the ceremony to begin. Our Santorini Off-White Sofa and Santorini Off-White Loveseat were set around our popular Brown Barnwood Coffee Table – the perfect display of modern and rustic.

Our Boxwood Walls helped family and friends find their seats – we just loved how each escort card was thoughtfully placed! Guests were encouraged to grab a drink at one of our Harpeth 8 ft Curved Bars that was on display. And, yes, that’s a custom wedding monogram featured on the front. This personal touch goes a long way – whether it’s your wedding logo or company logo – Southern can add it!

Each specialty event bar was truly decked out with more than enough glassware for the hundreds of guests – those signature drinks looked mighty fine in our Gatsby Coupes.

Dinner featured our Fruitwood Chiavari Chairs with a comfortable ivory cushion at each place setting. Our traditional Abby Flatware was gorgeous and placed alongside the popular Darcy Bone China Charger, with a Pink Dinner Napkin to complete the design.

Thanks so much to Nyk and Cali for the gorgeous images!

Pipe and Drape

Boxwood Walls

Going for a more natural look than pipe and drape? Create a garden atmosphere with our beautiful and easily adjustable Boxwood Walls. At 8′ high with the base, these hedge-like wall sections are the perfect way to frame a unique booth area, effortlessly making your space chic and beautiful.

Carpet or Flooring

Most conferences and tradeshows are held in large, bland rooms that feature concrete flooring and white walls. That doesn’t mean your booth has to feel so bare bones! Cover the concrete floor with lush, inviting carpet in bold colors.

Roll out the red carpet for a luxe experience, or go with classic black carpet for a sophisticated looking booth – be sure to also ask about custom flooring with your company’s logo. You would be shocked at what a difference a simple floor covering can make in transforming a bland tradeshow booth into a welcoming, buyer or customer-oriented experience.

AstroTurf

We love bringing the outdoors inside with our conference tradeshow event rentals– particularly when it allows companies to show off their services or merchandise in a fresh new way. Choose our remarkably natural looking astro turf to stage an outdoor scene inside your booth.

Counter Height Gathering Areas

Tradeshows are all about keeping things easy and mobile. Be sure to offer welcoming, casual places for your visitors to gather. We love using counter height tables so buyers can have a seat while our sales reps can show off the latest catalogs or product with ease. For a sleek modern look, choose our Loren Gold Bistro Tables.

If you’re looking to create a more natural or rustic feeling in your booth, try our gorgeous Farm Gathering Bistro Tables.

Cozy Seating Options

You don’t just want visitors to your booth to take a look and walk away! Invite them to stay and enjoy themselves with luxurious and comfortable seating options. We recommend choosing bold pieces that stand out, like our stunning Saylor Navy Velvet Sofa pictured below.

Play with textures like plush velvet and fine leather to create visual interest and entice visitors to take a seat and stay a while. Our ever-popular Bennett Leather Sofa is a fantastic conference tradeshow event rentals option. This gorgeous leather couch instantly elevates the look and feel of your booth.

Be sure to provide multiple seating options for visitors to your booth. We recommend combining both sofas and chairs to allow for a flexible, inviting space. Our brand new Rory Navy Velvet Chairs and Farrah Teal Velvet Chairs have been a huge draw. Not only do they grab attention, they’re the perfect comfy spot to take a break from all your tradeshow explorations!

Franklin Pillars and Bars

You’ve got your guests excited about your decor and enjoying your comfortable seating, now how do you display your product and services? That’s where our Franklin Collection Bars come in handy. These elegant, simple bar and pillar pieces make the perfect space to set up displays. Choose from striking white, sleek modern black or natural fruitwood to create a display that shows off all your hard work.

Let your guests enjoy the outdoors while still getting modern amenities. We love that Sycamore Farms has an oversized patio, where guests can find shade on warm days or stay close to the heat on cooler evenings. And this large area gives couples and party planners an extra space to play with – we love seeing how everyone designs this area differently. From lounge furniture and whiskey barrel bars to extra dinner seating, you’ve got to love all the extra space this oversized patio gives!

There’s nothing more luxe than a black-tie event and this season that formal luxury is coming to your tablescapes, too. The all-black event design trend is one we are proud to get behind – these onyx details are so dreamy!

The key to designing with a single color instead of a color palette is to select varying materials and textures to keep things three-dimensional. Luckily, Southern Events and Party Rental Company has dozens of rentals in each color to choose from, including this season’s coveted all-black. From the chic tablecloths to stone Onyx China, this all-black aesthetic was absolutely stunning.

Tables were surrounded by our Ghost Armless Acrylic Chairs and covered by a luxe Black Dupioni Table Linen. Austin Gold Flatware provided a metallic accent, while the modern and sleek Cybil Glassware were the perfect modern adornment. Black Table Napkins sat between Onyx Earthen China Dinner and Salad Plates, breaking up the black luxe without veering from the color of choice.

Looking to add in just a touch more color? We kept the Ghost Chairs, the glassware, and the table linen, but made a few key changes to the place settings to bring another all-black design to list. Our Carerra Marble Dinner Plates were perfect for keeping things moody and dramatic while adding just a bit of brightness to the tablescape. Featuring one of our Glass Chargers with Gold Rim was a unique way to keep to the all-black color palette – the glass added a bit of texture while still letting the black truly shine. One final change in adding Sophia Flatware made it so that two metallic accents didn’t overshadow the beautiful all-black design.

Thanks to Jen and Chris Creed for these gorgeous photos. Want to see more bold and black designs? Check out this luxe moody style shoot at Graystone Quarry. Ready to bring the all-black trend to your next event? Reach out to info@southerneventsonline.com for more information.
