A coming-of-age celebration, Quinceañeras are a loud and vibrant way to mark a girl’s 15th birthday! Typically bright & colorful, these parties are a mix of both modern and classic elements and traditions. Today we’re sharing just a few ways to host a fun Quinceañera celebration, featuring our luxe and colorful event rentals.

Fuchsia Etched Velvet Linen

Our Fuchsia Etched Velvet Linens are an easy way to wow your guests. Vibrant with a luxe touch of gold, these stunning linens bring a bold and modern air to any tablescape. This beautiful color is available in both tablecloths and napkins.

Velvet Furniture

For a luxe feminine touch, you have to feature some of our velvet furniture! These stylish pieces can be used for a reception, or to create a cozy lounge area. Take for example our Henley Grey Velvet Tufted Sofa and Farrah Teal Velvet Chairs. We offer a variety of velvet furniture rentals, with options for both a bold or toned down color palette.

Boxwood Wall for Photo Backdrop

One of our most versatile rentals are our beautiful boxwood walls. First and foremost, they make for a stunning photo backdrop. They can easily be customized with decor, whether it be bright balloons or signage. In either scenario, your guests will love the photo op. If you prefer a more interactive element, consider serving up some cold drinks via a beverage shelf. It is a unique and fun way to serve up some age-appropriate mocktails. For another interactive element, take a look at our new Donut Wall.

Red Carpet Entrance

What is a Quinceañera without a grand entrance? At Southern, we love to roll out the red carpet. In fact, we love it so much that we supply carpets in a variety of colors. Make a memorable entrance when you rent one of our carpets, whether you go with a classic white or black, or a modern pink.

Staging & Dance Floor

If your Quince will include music, then you’ll definitely need staging. It is the perfect way to make a live band, or another form of entertainment, front and center. In the event that you do have music, be sure to check out our classic black and white dance floor. This photogenic flooring is as stylish as it is perfect for busting some moves on.

Cake Stands

Last, but far from least, we can’t forget the importance of an impressive dessert bar. Specifically, a cake stand for your cake. Our Windsor Gold Cake Stand exudes modern luxury, and is beautiful in a way that won’t take away from the cake. If you really want to take your event to the next level, be sure to consider our modern glass candy jars. They’re perfect for creating a one-of-kind (not to mention delicious) dessert table!

If you’re looking for a bright and chic look for your upcoming wedding, look no further! Earlier this year our team at Southern Events collaborated with other local vendors for a fresh and fun desert bloom themed style shoot at 14Tenn in Nashville, Tennessee. Enjoy the breathtaking image by Gray Kammera Photography as we show off some of our featured rentals!

For the intimate indoor reception, we opted to use our modern Acrylic Ghost Armless Chairs. Meanwhile, our Davis Glass Cylinders with white pillar candles lined the aisle way, extending the airy look and creating a warm ambiance. Of course, the floral backdrop created by SS T Villager Designs stole the show! Their bright whimsical florals took this reception set up to another level, with lush greenery and bold colors.

Shifting to the reception, we featured more of our popular acrylic furniture. This time our Acrylic Carrigan Side Chair. A mix of contemporary and industrial/rustic furniture makes this set-up stylish yet inviting.

On the long dinner tables, we created place settings using our Coronado China, Athena China, Faux Wood Round Chargers, and Austin Flatware. Our Fuchsia Etched Velvet Napkins brought a POP of color that complimented the bright floral centerpieces. For drinks, we selected our classically elegant Cybil Glassware.

Also, note the beautiful calligraphy escort cards by Fanciful Ink!

When styling the bride and groom’s table, we always like a little extra drama. The bold florals dripped all the way to the floor where they met our Gold Metal Intersect Cube and Davis Glass Cylinders, for a warm and luxe look.

In addition to long dinner tables, we also used round tables. For these, we selected our stunning Fuchsia Etched Velvet Linens. A mix of our acrylic chairs were featured, for that popular mix and match vibe.

While the place setting were identical to those on the long dinner tables, we switched out the napkins. Our London Fog Etched Velvet Napkins provided a much-needed neutral contrast to the otherwise bold table. Our favorite element? The super cute potted plant wedding favors/place settings!

Lounge areas are a must-have for any wedding with a cocktail hour. This cozy lounge was created using our Nickel Grey Bench, Henley Grey Velvet Tufted Sofa, and Acrylic Fantasma Side Chairs.  Cheval Gold Miror Side Tables were decorated with lush plants for that chic desert vibe. Nearby, bistro tables were set up with our Ocean Blue Velvet Linens.

These popular pastries double as a delicious dessert & decor! Keep reading to get inspired and learn how you can use our donut wall rental at your next event.

Donut Desert Wall

What can we say – if loving donuts is wrong then we don’t want to be right! Donuts have quickly become a fan favorite at events & parties.  Plus, these sweet treats are as beautiful as they are tasty creating double duty decor. They can also be a quick photo backdrop. For some extra fun, we recommend serving up some coffee and/or milk! Be sure to check out our beverage rentals, like our stylish copper urn.

A Must for Birthdays & Baby Showers

Our freestanding peg wall for donuts has a beautiful dark wood stain that complements every type of event. It is 4′ wide by 8′ tall with 46 pegs and each peg holds 2-3 donuts. It is perfect for both adult and children’s birthday parties, baby showers, bridal showers, and a variety of other events. The only downside to this interactive piece of decor is that the donuts aren’t included!

Escort Cards 

Donuts are a fun treat, but you can also make them functional! Consider using our donut wall to serve up escort cards to your wedding guests. Simply add a tag to each donut with your guest’s name and their designated table number. Or opt for classic escort cards tied with a colorful ribbon on this rustic backdrop.

Metallic Place Settings

An easy way to add warmth to a colorful backyard event is with gold or silver accents. Featuring our Gold Round Lacquer Charger and Austin Flatware, adds a touch of metallics that contrasts beautifully against turquoise centerpieces. It also complements the golden yellows and sunset-inspired oranges throughout the event design. Don’t forget to pull these accents into other parts of your events with gold-rimmed glasses on your bar or gold side tables in your lounge. This creates a more cohesive look.

Bold Centerpieces

When it comes to table centerpieces people often feel the need to use matching pieces. A colorful backyard party is a perfect time to experiment with creative shapes and colors. This tablescape features a mix of vases, in teal, white, gold and clear glass – easy for a DIY backyard party. For candles, we suggest varying heights to add some dimension (though you can also create this with taller arrangements). As far as flowers go, consider keeping it simple but bright with a variety of wildflowers. Orange & yellow tones perfectly contrasted and popped against the teal and white glassware!

Vibrant Linens

Vibrant linens are so much fun! The use of bright colors will lend a sense of liveliness to your event, plus make your event photos pop. Don’t be afraid to use different linens for each table either! Note how we were careful to switch up the color of our table centerpieces depending on the linen color. As a general rule: place lighter colored centerpieces on dark tablecloths and vice versa. Our Fuschia Etched Velvet Linens with their gold veining would be a another way to bring in a subtle metallic accent and a bold pop of color.

Furniture with sleek features, straight lines, and smooth and shiny surfaces – hello modern event lounges! Modern furniture design often focuses on simple geometric shapes rather than heavy or excessive ornamentation. The following event lounge packages are free of busy lines and color schemes, which lend a simple, elegant and refined look.

Chic & Sleek

White, blue velvet and gold are a gorgeous trio in this chic and sleek modern lounge package. It features our stunning Saylor Navy Velvet Sofa, with its rich color and geometric tufts. The slender legs of the Rory Navy Velvet Chair complement the Rhodes Coffee and Side Tables. The stark white tops are a beautiful contrast next to the surrounding sea of navy.

Classic Black & White

If you are looking to make a statement, this black and white event lounge is a bold choice. The sleek Black & White Stripe Cabana Benches, striking and sharp, pulls from the Regent Black Velvet Sofa. This pattern adds a unique punch of character to the otherwise plain lounge area. Meanwhile, the Rhodes Coffee Table and Rhodes Side Table add a subtle but luxe gold accent into the mix.

Modern Glam

Featuring black and white, this modern glam lounge is sleek and a little flashy. Blocky furniture, like the Santorini Off-White Sofa and Santorini Off-White Loveseat, appears visually sharp yet is cozy – promise.  It pairs perfectly with our white Siros Coffee Table. The cylindrical shape of the Echo Silver Mirror Side Table provides a bit of relief from the geometric dominated space, while a Black-Silver Rug ties it all together. (Learn why rugs are essential for creating a functional space!)

Simplistic

Primarily functional, this simplistic modern event lounge setup features neutral tones with a touch of gold. The Regent Black Velvet Sofa is clean but inviting, with its plush velvet cushions. One of the most popular modern furniture designs, the White Eiffel Arm Chair will tempt all of your guests, with its unique shape. Each piece is subtly connected, via solid colors and geometric angles, such as the legs of the Rhodes Coffee Table.

Contemporary

With a mix of unique shapes and textures, this social area will be a big draw. It consists of the Mercer White Leather Couch, Mercer White Leather Ottomans, Acrylic Ghost Arm Chairs and a Nickel Grey Bench. This package is the definition of contemporary, with simple geometric shapes and smooth surfaces. We are especially fond of acrylic elements, such as the armchairs and bench legs, which are sleek and stylish.

A smaller wedding does not mean smaller style! To help inspire you, we’re sharing a handful of ways that you can pull off a small, yet elegant intimate wedding, featuring wedding design ideas from a recent styled shoot at the bright and airy boutique Noelle Hotel in Nashville.

Up Close and Personal

By far the most rewarding aspect of hosting an intimate wedding is that you can be truly yourself, as you will be most comfortable amongst the special few whom you invited. With less people around, your guests will also feel more connected to you, as they witness this milestone in your lives and share in your emotions. As shown with our Harlin Chairs, create a seating area that allows everyone to see, hear and be a part of the intimate ceremony.

Elegant Place Settings

When it comes to planning a small wedding, you can still make a statement! Take the elegant table setting we created, which includes our Gold Austin Flatware, Glass Mosaic China, Glass Charger with Gold Rim, and White Round China. It absolutely POPs on the rich Blue Velvet Linens! We were also careful in our choice of Cybil Glassware which, while slightly more whimsical, still fits into the overall aesthetic.

Make the Most of Your Venue

Often times, couples who host an intimate wedding will utilize the same space for both their ceremony and reception. This will save you the effort and cost of a secondary event space, and allow you to make the most of the venue you truly love. Take this into consideration when researching potential venues, as a large enough area can accommodate both the weddings ceremony seating and dinner tables. If everything can be set up from the get-go, there will be less hustle and bustle to rearrange furniture when it comes time to eat.

Splurge on Special Touches

One benefit of opting for a smaller-scale affair is that you will have the budget to splurge on items or elements that you love, like our comfy and downright beautiful Tabby Tufted Grey Linen Loveseat. These special touches can be an item that sparks joy for you or is simply more convenient. Take the opportunity to treat yourself and your loved ones to a special space.
