Say “Goodbye” to the days of worrying about the wear and tear of floors or grass at your event. And let us introduce you to durable and stylish event flooring! Our team understands that the floor is the foundation for your event, and will lend to a more cohesive and aesthetically pleasing look. Get inspired for your upcoming celebration in Nashville, when you check out our trendy yet functional in-stock flooring options.

Dura-Trac Flooring

Made for the event industry by special event flooring experts, Dura-Trac flooring is an easy-to-install flooring system designed to protect your existing space. The interlocking panel system is the perfect way to protect your space and your guests, making it ideal for festivals, concerts, tented parties, and more! It can be installed over a variety of surfaces, including those that are uneven. Best of all, it can be customized by placing premium vinyl flooring or carpeting over the top. To learn more about our Dura-Trac flooring, download our PDF.

Artificial Grass

Why would you use artificial grass at your event? It’s a unique option that will lend a fun touch of texture to your event. For an indoor event, it will also lend traction, making it perfect for placing on top of existing tile or vinyl flooring. For warm-weather outdoor events, it will actually offer a more natural and welcoming look. Consider renting it for your next tailgating party, trade-show exhibit, or church picnic!

Dance Floors

Some flooring is limited to certain areas of your event space, like dance floors. They act as a focal point within an event space, in addition to being a designated area for entertainment. We offer a selection of dance floors, for a variety of different event types and themes. Although our classic White and Black dance floor is popular, our Plank Wood dance floor will lend a modern and timeless look to your event.

The entrance to an event is a guest’s first impression of what’s to come! It will set the tone for the remainder of the event, and so it’s important to start things off on the right foot. Today, we’re sharing some of our in-stock rentals that can be used to create a grand event entrance.

Carpeted Entrance

Want to wow your guests? A carpeted entrance to your event is a sure way to do that. A red carpet is an easy way to lend a hint of old Hollywood glamour – regardless of the formality of the event! It will lend to the overall look and experience, making guests feel as though they are special and creating excitement for what lies in store. Of course, your carpet doesn’t have to be red! Feel free to feature your event or company colors like the grand event entrance done in blue and white below.

Stanchion & Rope

Along with a grand carpet entrance, you’ll want to rent stanchion and rope. Our Chrome Stanchions are a timeless addition that will help you maintain an orderly entrance. It is especially great for events that will require attendees to queue up or that are ticketed.  You will also be able to choose between our Black Velour Rope and Red Velour Rope, depending on the theme or color palette featured at your event.

Vinyl Appliques

When you have a thoughtful theme or event design, vinyl appliques on your event flooring can be a unique way to welcome guests.  Custom appliques can be added to our Black, White or Natural dance floors – doubling as entrance flooring- as part of your grand event entrance. Here we replicated the florals from the event invitation and linen pattern onto floor appliques. Also, consider showing off your new monogram to welcome wedding guests or brand at a product launch.

Want to use one or several of these rentals to create a grand event entrance? We would love to make it happen! Contact our team at info@southerneventsonline.com & let’s start planning a one-of-a-kind event.

Neutral color palettes have been popular as they offer a stylish yet timeless look. However, there are both cool and warm neutral colors, which will lend a completely different vibe to an event. Today, we’re doling out some inspiration featuring our natural-neutral wedding rentals! These warm-toned pieces will lend a modern yet organic theme to your event.

Natural-Neutral Place Settings

One of our favorite ways to feature natural neutrals is via an elegant tablescape. We carry a large variety of warm-toned serving ware for creating a cohesive and memorable layout. For starters, consider our Fruitwood Farm Table for the perfect warm-toned base. Alternatively, a table with light-colored linen will add a brighter base.

These elegant tables are warm and feature pink for a fun feminine flair. Both are accented with metallic gold accents, for a wonderful luxe look! We always recommend a touch of texture. For instance, using neutral velvet table linens or a wood tabletop with a table runner.

Worried that your tablescape will be overwhelmingly warm-toned? Add in a touch of cool-toned neutrals. These tables are beautifully balanced thanks to silver accents. Our Earthen Onyx or Earthen Stone China always pairs well with a warm-toned charger or napkins. Or feature silver flatware atop a neutral table or table linens.

Speaking of linens, let’s cover a few of our favorites. First up is our stunning Golden Velvet Linens. With a buttery texture, this piece will make a gorgeous base for a luxe tablescape.

Finally, there is our Ivory Sahara Runner. Place this runner atop our Fruitwood Farm table for a slightly more casual vibe.

Neutral Lounge Furniture

What’s a social event without a cute and cozy lounge area? We carry a range of comfortable, natural neutral furniture. First up is our Tessa Tufted Beige Linen Loveseat, which is a beautiful piece for a sweetheart table, as well as smaller lounge areas. Alternatively, our Bennett Leather Sofa is a rich brown color and the perfect size for a larger event. Lastly, be sure to check out one of the newest additions to our catalog, the Everly sofa!

At any event, interactive elements are a must-have! It will help get guests out of their seats and socializing. Plus it will make your event more visually appealing since it doubles as a decoration. Take a look at some of our favorite rentals that can be used to create interactive party displays, from delicious donut walls to fun bubbly bars and classy carts!

Market Cart

A two-wheel cart with an awning, this charming display prop is so versatile! It can be used to display a small food selection or function as a drink station. In our personal opinion, it would make for a darling grazing station, packed with cold cuts and cheese on our vintage-inspired silver trays. You’re welcome to decorate our Market Cart to your heart’s desire, with fresh flowers, banners, or balloons!

Shelving

Despite its simple appearance, our Avenue Barback Shelf is a staple at events that feature self-serve drink stations. It’s a luxe gold metallic color and features brown wood veneer shelves. You can easily recreate this luxe bubbly bar when you rent a variety of our gorgeous modern glassware! Our current favorites include Cybil and Pure Glassware.

Bar Cart

Bring wine, champagne, or a drink of your choice straight to guests when you rent our Gold Bar Cart! This rental has under-shelf wine glass storage for 12 glasses, and 4 wine-bottle rings for storage. And don’t worry, it features two locking wheels so your liquor won’t roll away. Alternatively, plate up small appetizers or cake!

Ticket Booth

Although most events now offer tickets online, a classic booth is a fun way to welcome guests to your event! Our sturdy booth features a solid wood top and is a solid white color that will work any color palette. It also features a decal sign area so that you can easily personalize it to compliment the theme of your event.

Donut Wall

Donut walls are far from a past fad. In fact, we’re predicting that these delicious displays will stick around for a while – because who doesn’t love a donut? Our wall is freestanding, features a beautiful dark stain, and has 48 pegs, which can hold 2-3 donuts each. The only downside is that it doesn’t come with the donuts!

This design features silver metallic details, which complement the bright white centerpieces and crisp glassware. Notice our Silver Rimmed Glass Charger and Onyx Dinner Plate. Black is a key accent that is common with a Boho Diva inspired look.

Glam Cocktail Tables

Cocktail tables, spread throughout an event space, make for the perfect opportunity to feature glam linens. Our Sequin tablecloths, shown in Gold, are available in 5 gorgeous colors. Or opt for one of our etched velvet linens, for a less over-the-top but equally elegant look.

Graduation is a momentous success and lots of people will want to witness the tradition of their loved one walking across the stage. And, as with any event of this scale, the safety of students, faculty, and their families is important. 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.
