2019’s Pantone Color of the Year is Living Coral, and we have all the heart-eyes for this color! There are tons of ways to go about incorporating Living Coral: sweet, feminine, classy, Southern…the ideas go on and on. Here, we are in love with how the spunky color combination of teal and coral can evoke both glam as well as fun vibes. If you’re looking to incorporate 2019’s Pantone Color of the Year – Living Coral – we think this is a fabulous way to do it. We adore how the color pops up in a myriad of ways at this Spring Tasting Event at CJs off the Square (even down to the adorable cocktail).

This glam and fun theme incorporates gold, mismatched and detailed dinnerware, and our swoon-worthy Farrah Teal Velvet Chair. The teal color woven through the theme takes the coral to a new level. The Tessa Tufted Beige Loveseat just had to be part of this look, with the glam and fun lines on the piece calling out to be included in this Coral shin-dig.

Poppies and other coral floral designs–along with coral linens–accented the event, assisting the teal and coral theme in adding to the glam and fun vibes.

Graduation party season is upon us! It’s sentimental, nostalgic, and cheerful… all at once. As you get ready to plan a graduation party for your senior, there’s a lot to consider. Will it be outside? How many people will you invite? What should you serve? Where will the guests sit? Southern Events has plenty of in-stock graduation party rentals to allow you to create a memorable and fun event for your grad.

Set the Scene

First, let’s set the scene. If your graduation party is going to be outside, consider one of our Tent Pop-Up Packages. You can coordinate the linens that come with your package to match school colors for added festiveness! The Sutton Collection or Barnwood Furniture and our Hammered Rectangle Fire Pit will be the perfect additions for added warmth and comfort. AstroTurf is great for graduation parties, and you could use our Boxwood Wall to create spaces or use as a backdrop!

Food and Such

At your graduation party, chances are – you’ll have some sort of food and drink (those seniors sure get cranky when they aren’t fed!), so you’ll want to think about how you’ll serve the food. Our Brushed Copper Flatware looks amazing with the Hob Nob Glassware. Both are fun and trendy and bring both modern and class to an event. Melamine Platters are perfect for your outdoor celebrations. Oh! And let’s definitely not forget the cake (that would result in extra cranky seniors), and we love serving cake on our Windsor Gold Cake Stands.

Graduation parties should create and instill memories and be a moment of celebration for all you and your grad have done over the past 18 years. Pat both of yourselves on the back. You did it!

Catering large and small-scale events alike requires the proper equipment and proper planning. Maybe you’re catering a wedding, high school graduation, or a baby shower. You could be catering for a sit-down meal or a buffet. The purpose of the combined tasks of catering is to allow the host to relax and the guests to have a memorable time. Southern Events has plenty of catering equipment available for rent to help these tasks run smoothly for your Nashville, Franklin or Middle Tennessee event. From catering outdoor events to food prep the moment before the event begins, we have all the items needed.

Outside Events

If you’re looking for catering equipment for an outside event, there are so many things to consider. Inclement weather – will it rain, be super hot, super sunny? Bugs – how can you protect the food you’ve worked so hard to create from getting ruined by flies and the like? Location – will it be in the middle of a field? How will you get the food and equipment to the location? Southern Events has rentals to solve all of these problems. Pop-Up Tents to protect from sun and rain, Plate Covers to protect the food, Trash Cans for waste, Banquet Tables with Risers for prep and Coolers to keep food.

Food Safety and Prep

When catering, you want the food to taste just as good when the guests eat it as it did the second it was finished cooking or baking.  You also want to keep in mind food-safety concerns. How long can your meal sit out at room temperature? We have rentals such as Chafing Dishes, Tray Stands, Hot Boxes and Banquet Tables with Risers to help you pull all of this off! When it comes to catering, much of the time you’re prepping food up until the very end! We have rentals for the prep process as well.

If you’re catering for an upcoming wedding or event, we’d love to help you! Email our team to book your personal showroom tour at info@southerneventsonline.com to get started!

Boutique festivals, craft fairs, food shows, wine walks… beautiful weather calls for beautiful outdoor events. When creating spaces for these fun and creative events, keep in mind social distancing while aiming to provide a warm atmosphere. Easily create a safe and inviting boutique festival event set up in Nashville with our stylish tent and furniture rentals from Southern Events.

Festival Tenting

Rain or shine, when it comes to an outdoor event you’ll need to create a temporary space for attendees to gather and artisans to show their wares. We have multiple rentals to that effect, such as our comprehensive Pop Up Packages, which include chairs, tables, and linens, for a professional and cohesive event.

Flooring

At your boutique festival or artisan event, do you plan to feature local entertainment? If so, a Dance Floor to allow a designated space for guests is a great idea! We have plenty of options to choose from, including classic black and plank wood. These areas are perfect for musicians, dancers, as well as demonstrations.

Whiskey Barrels

Give attendees a stylish spot with a Tennessee spin! Easily spread out over your festival grounds, our Whiskey Barrel with Umbrella is perfect for food and beverage areas of your event as well as causal viewing areas for people to enjoy entertainment. Plus, the umbrella protects people from a little rain or beating sun.

Crowd Control

Crowd control is essential for a variety of reasons but may depend on the size of your event. For example, at larger events crowd control barriers will ensure a smooth and controlled flow of traffic. And that guests adhere to safety guidelines. Portable Fencing can also help in creating a border for your event, to keep guests in or out. Lastly, use it to form temporary lines to clearly indicate areas to stand or park.

Gathering Areas

Comfortable gathering spaces ensure that guests are able to chat, enjoy the delicious food available, and rest from all of the amazing shopping and activities available at your event. Southern Events has rentals to help you create the exact vibe you are wanting for your event. Consider our Sutton Collection for comfortable outdoor lounging, as well as the Barnwood Furniture from our Farm Collection.

Decorative Rugs

For added coziness and warmth at your craft fair or artisan festival, we recommend featuring rugs in your gathering spaces. As well as to fill in the empty floor space created when designing a lounge that allows for social distancing. Whether it be for large lounge areas or standalone bistro tables, Southern Events has a plethora of rugs to choose from. Looking for a boho vibe? Our Blue-Red Rug will fit right in! For a modern, more masculine feel, check out our Cowhide Rug.

Temperature Control

Depending on the season, you’ll want to invest in fans or heaters to help keep guests comfortable. Perfect for lounge areas, they will help guests escape the cold or heat, without compromising the look of your event. During the fall/winter seasons, we recommend our beautiful Stone Round Fire Pit or Umbrella- Style Heater. Come spring/summer, be sure to rent a selection of our fans.

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. 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.
