Southern Style: Tablescapes To Inspire You For Rosh Hashanah

Southern Events Products, Trends and Inspiration

Rosh Hashanah tablescape

The Jewish New Year festival Rosh Hashanah literally means “head of the year”. Taking place in early Autumn, one of the main features is festive meals both night and day. To help spark your creativity, we’re sharing tablescapes to inspire you for Rosh Hashanah, featuring our modern serving ware, colorful linens & more!

Symbolic Colors

White is the most popular color associated with Rosh Hashanah. It is clean and bright and represents purity and the fresh start of the new year. As it takes place in the fall, browns, and reds are also common. Greens, especially in florals, can be a bright accent color that hints at energy and possibility!
Consider our Fruitwood Farm Table, topped with white china, a Merlot Velvet Napkin, and greenery as the base for your Rosh Hashanah tablescape. Or classic white table linens paired with muted gold napkins. We have a wide selection of white china for you to choose from, including our White Round china – or square for a more contemporary look. For serving ware we offer both metallic silver and gold options, as well as copper.

Apples

It is traditional to begin the meal on the first night with slices of apple dipped in honey. Before eating the apple, we make the ha’eitz blessing and then say, “May it be Your will to renew for us a good and sweet year.” This tablescape features a runner of lush greenery, wheat, artichokes, and apples to create an abundant centerpiece. If you want to host your dinner celebration outside, be sure to check out our rustic furniture, like our elegant Cross-back Chairs.

Pears & Pomegranates

Aside from apples, pears are commonly used in sweet desserts. But, for another Rosh Hashanah table idea, they can also be used to decorate. As with pomegranates! Many eat pomegranates, giving voice to a wish that “our merits be many like the seeds of the pomegranate.” These fruits are not eaten on the second night of the holiday. So instead, opt for a “new fruit” or a fruit that has not been eaten since it was last in-season.

The tablescape below features our Cameron Flatware, Stemless and Madison Glassware, Russet Satin Napkins and London Fog Velvet Linens – for a neutral but elegant look!

Get inspired for your own intimate backyard wedding in Nashville, when you check out the details from this timeless event.

After they exchanged vows, they retired to a tent situated in the front yard. It was the perfect setup for the warm weather! Their layout consisted of both round and banquet dinner tables, outfitted in classic white linens. The centerpieces consisted of our Davis Glass Cylinders, paired with candles and greenery. As well as a sprinkling of votive candles.

To complement their gold and white wedding palette, we created place settings starring our Gold Medallion Glass Chargers. Along with our Austin Gold Flatware, Pure Glassware, and Kennedy White Linens. On their designated dessert table, a beautiful wedding cake stood out on our Gold Windsor Cake Stand.

On Trend: Creating a Grand Event Entrance

On Trend, Southern Events Products

Supporting image

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.

On Trend: Natural Neutral Wedding Rentals

On Trend, Southern Events Products, Trends and Inspiration

minimalist table

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.

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. It pairs well with cream, white or brown. Next up is Kennedy Natural, with a beautiful woven texture. It will lend a touch of texture to a table and is a subtle and elegant color. Finally, there is our Ivory Sahara Runner. Place this runner atop our Fruitwood Farm table for a slightly more casual vibe.

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.

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!

earth tone table event rentals

Earth tone colors are warm, reassuring, and luxurious – making them a beautiful choice for a mature yet cozy party or event! They are especially common in palettes for neutral and bohemian-themed events, now peaking in popularity due to a recent appreciation for minimalistic event designs. Take a look at some of our trendy earth-tone party rentals to create a timeless look at your next Nashville event!

Velvet Linens

Linens amplify the look of any tablescape, but velvet adds a certain elegance that just can’t be beaten. And one that pairs perfectly with the vibe of earth tones. Soft in texture and rich in color, we offer velvet linens in a wide range of warm, earth-inspired colors.

Napkins

Every place setting needs a napkin! Below you’ll see a bright neutral design featuring our Driftwood Velvet napkins, paired with a Havana Cafe Velvet runner. For a warmer, moody look, Spice Velvet napkins are a stark contrast next to a classic black runner.

Chargers lend to the overall aesthetic of a table, creating a more finished look. And we carry a charger for every earth-tone event, color and style!

Southern Events Products, Trends and Inspiration

Graduation is a big deal—cue the cheers, confetti, and proud tears! It’s a once-in-a-lifetime milestone, and you’ll want everything to be picture-perfect for students, faculty, and families. Whether your event is indoors or outdoors, we have the must-have graduation ceremony rentals to create a stylish, safe, and seamless celebration.

Make a Statement with Staging & Carpet

Every graduate deserves their moment to shine. Our sturdy event staging, available with or without carpet, ensures a polished, professional setup for that iconic diploma walk. Looking to elevate the experience? Red carpet and black carpet are now in stock to create a VIP-style walkway or to enhance the look of your stage.

For an extra level of sophistication, the Harpeth stage facade and columns provide a sleek, customizable backdrop—perfect for showcasing school colors or a logo. Stage skirting, now available in natural or black, ensures a clean and professional finish.

Seating that Keeps Guests Comfortable

Before graduates take that anticipated walk across the stage, they’ll be spending a lot of time seated. Keep guests comfortable and the event looking polished with our classic folding chairs, available in Fruitwood, White, and Black. These chairs are easy to transport, set up, and arrange to create an organized, cohesive look.

Pipe & Drape for a Picture-Perfect Event

Pipe and drape is a versatile design element that adds instant elegance. Use it to create a stylish photo station where graduates and families can capture the moment or as a sleek backdrop for the stage. Whether you want a dramatic or neutral aesthetic, pipe and drape offers a sophisticated look that upgrades any space.

Smooth & Sturdy Event Flooring

If your graduation ceremony is taking place outdoors, a level and stable surface is key. Our DuraTrac flooring is a simple solution for covering grass, dirt, or uneven surfaces, ensuring that both guests and graduates have a sturdy, comfortable foundation. Not only does it protect the event space, but it also creates a more seamless experience for everyone attending.

Crowd Control, But Make it Stylish

With a large crowd gathered to celebrate, it’s important to maintain a smooth flow of movement. Fencing and rope/stanchion rentals help create organized pathways while maintaining a refined appearance. Our white portable fencing helps define entry and exit points, while rope and stanchions keep the stage area accessible only to designated guests.

Lecterns & Signage for a Flawless Flow

A well-planned graduation ceremony includes clear signage and a designated space for speakers. Display school logos, event programs, or directional signage with our black aluminum easels. For keynote speeches and presentations, our acrylic or sleek black metal lectern offers a modern, professional touch to your stage setup.

The best events don't feel like a series of rooms. They feel like one continuous experience.

That's harder to pull off than it sounds, and it usually starts with the rental selections. When the furniture, tabletop, and lounge pieces are chosen with the full day in mind rather than space by space, guests move through an event without ever feeling the transition.

Bold florals need a tabletop that knows when to step back 🌸 A classic combination of ivory and white kept this reception looking refined rather than minimal! Our Darcy China remains a fan-favorite for couples who want a reception that oozes no-frill romance.

We love a tented reception for a lot of reasons. The way color looks under sailcloth is near the top of the list. 🌿

Shades that might feel bold indoors take on a whole different quality in filtered natural light — warmer, softer, and somehow exactly right. It's one of those things you have to see in person to fully appreciate.

Sailcloth tent. Sage bar. Refreshing cocktails. The order of operations for a good reception. 🌿🥂
