In Stock: On-Trend Party Plates for RentOn Trend, Southern Events Products |

A memorable event calls for attention to detail! One of our favorite ways to elevate any celebration is with an elegant place setting. From casual backyard gatherings to elegant dinner parties, the right plates can enhance the aesthetic of your event. This said, buying a large number of plates can be expensive! Whereas paper plates are dull and wasteful. That’s where Southern Events comes in! With a large catalog of party plates for rent, we offer an on-trend option for every celebration.
Modern Metallics
Metallics continue to reign supreme in event decor. When it comes to party plates, metal accents are an easy way to turn a plain table setting into a glam spread. We stock a number of chargers with metallics to elevate your table. From a modern Copper Glass Charger to a Silver Round Lacquer Charger. For a more dark and moody vibe, check out our Black Round Lacquer Chargers. Or create a chic place setting with the Silver Beaded Edge Belmont Chargers. Any of these plates is a stunning base for colorful or classic white china!



Chic Party Prints
If you’re looking to infuse your personality and style into your event, printed plates are a beautiful choice. Our inventory includes styles to suit various themes and moods. Whether you’re hosting a whimsical garden party or a bright al fresco dinner party. Feature a metallic accent with the Blair Geometeric or Vera Floral China. Or, add a pop of color with the elegant Laguna or Coronado China. Of course, there is no going wrong with our Carrera Marble Dinner Plates. They look gorgeous on top of a vibrant charger or paired with a colorful napkin!

Down-to-Earthenware
If you desire a more rustic and organic aesthetic, earthenware plates are ideal. Their soft tones, textured surfaces, and imperfect edges exude warmth and charm. Our selection of beautifully crafted earthenware plates is perfect if you are in need of a dinnerware rental. Easily create a modern rustic wedding table with the color Alabaster. Or a bold table for a corporate gala with Onyx. Meanwhile, Stone is a classic and pairs perfectly with soft pastel shades. Such as pink, baby blue, and lavender. For added warmth, we recommend adding a set of velvet napkins.



Textures that Elevate
Placed beneath the main dinner plates, chargers add depth to a table setting. However, you can easily add even more dimension by featuring a textured charger. There is our Rattan White Wash Charger, perfect for a bright and breezy brunch or afternoon tea. As well as a Scalloped Wood Charger, which lends a luxe boho vibe. Or, skip the charger and opt for a crisp set of Glass Mosaic China. A clean and modern look fitting for a gala or fundraiser! Especially when paired with classic white napkins.



Our party plates for rent are a simple way to elevate your event table! Contact our team for help creating a unique place setting, or if you need more ideas. Looking for other ways to create a more luxe look? Take a peek at our napkins, available in a range of brilliant colors.

Take it Easy
When it comes to hosting a casual get-together, creating a stylish and vibrant space is key. To set the stage for a chic backyard cocktail hour or poolside bachelorette party, create a space adorned with pops of pink and a dash of retro charm. You can set the mood with bistro tables with Hot Pink Velvet Linens. In addition, add some chic Arylic Square Back Barstools for extra seating. Where guests can enjoy colorful cocktails, served in classic Gatsby Coupe Glasses. Alternatively, you can use our Gold Bar Cart as a self-serve drink station.

Chic in Pink

Starting with a tablescape with a Satin Blush Matte Runner and hot pink roses. Next, feature White Coupe Dinner Plates contrasted by Rose Etched Velvet Napkins and Brushed Copper Flatware.

Southern Style | Summer Party Rentals for an Elevated Backyard GatheringOn Trend, Southern Events Products |

Summer is the season of backyard parties! Whether it’s a birthday celebration, a family reunion, or a simple get-together with friends. Hosting an outdoor party is the perfect way to enjoy the beautiful weather while creating unforgettable memories. And to elevate your backyard gathering, Southern Events Online stocks stylish summer party rentals! Take a look at our inventory that will impress your guests. From coastal chic-inspired furniture to a modern rustic tablescape.
Neutral Coastal Chic
One of our favorite summer vibes is coastal chic! Starring a neutral color palette and natural materials, it is a stunning option for a casual yet elegant backyard gathering. Start by creating a bright and airy tablescape with an off-white, Havana Ecru Tablecloth. For an extra soft and breezy look, add a Sahara Ivory Runner and Ivory Poly Napkins. Meanwhile, Rattan White Wash Chargers will lend some much-needed texture! To warm up the table, feature our elegant Cross-Back Chairs with plush cushions.


Coastal-Inspired Furnishings
Carrying over the theme, you won’t want to miss out on our Sloan Sofa and Armchairs. They are made of classic bentwood with curved caning and a charcoal finish for a modern look. However, to complete the look, add a Linden Marble Table and a Blush Rug. Perhaps a Gold Bar Cart, for a luxe metallic accent. And to keep bubbly or beverages within arms reach!

Sunny Citrus
If you want a more traditional summer look, go with bright and bold colors! For instance, we’re loving this colorful citrus-inspired tablescape starring a rich Navy Blue Velvet Tablecloth. Our Burnt Orange Poly Napkins will beautifully contrast the blue table and tie in a fresh citrus, or fruit-laden charcuterie, centerpiece. Additionally, to maintain a clean and modern look, add on Brushed Copper Flatware and sleek White Coupe China. Depending on how bright you want the table, grab our Fruitwood Folding Chairs or Antique White Bentwood Chairs.

Mini Bar Must-Haves
If you plan to serve alcohol, our Franklin 4ft Antique White Bar is the perfect size for a small backyard celebration. It will be a treat if you plan on having a mixologist on site. Or, if you want to create a small self-serve station featuring our sleek Hampton Beverage Dispensers. Regardless, be sure to stock up on Meridian Blue Tumblers, one of our most underrated summer party rentals – a stunner for poolside cocktails!


Modern Rustic Garden Party
We will never tire of an elegant garden celebration! And that is exactly what inspired this modern rustic backyard party. For instance, think of it like an elevated BBQ where warm woods and muted colors shine. Start with Aged Oak Dining Tables, placed side by side to create a long table fit for socializing. After that, keep it classic when you pair them with rustic benches. Or, elevate the look with elegant Harlin Dining Chairs. In addition, dress up the table with fresh flowers, complemented by clean serving ware and a splash of color. Try muted pieces, like our Amber Goblets or Moss Green Crush Velvet Napkins.

Muted Elegance
For a cocktail hour, consider featuring a down-to-earth lounge with warm woodsy browns. From our Bennett Leather Sofa and Adeline Dining Chairs. With a luxe metallic accent, from a set of Cheval Gold Mirror Side Tables. To soften up the space, add on Chocolate Poufs and a Bellamy Beige Linen Bench. After that, a bold Navy Rug to help frame the area. If you want to wow your guest upon their arrival, welcome them with a White 6-Tier Serving Tower. We recommend colorful cocktails in our Gatsby Champagne Coup glasses!

Summer Tailgate – Cheer on your team in comfort and style with our pop up tent for tailgates! It comes with all the essentials, whether you’re hosting at home or pre-gaming outside a stadium.

In Stock: Unique Outdoor Party Decor and PropsSouthern Events Products, Trends and Inspiration |

Outdoor parties are the perfect way to celebrate any occasion, from birthdays and weddings to corporate events and backyard gatherings. To make your event truly special, consider renting unique outdoor party decor and props that will create a memorable experience for your guests. Take a look at some of our unique inventory items, perfect for creating fun focal points, stylish backdrops, food and drink displays, or social areas, that are sure to impress.
Photo-Worthy Outdoor Party Decor & Backdrops
Every event needs a photo backdrop! A place where guests can snap a photo as a keepsake or share it on social media. The Fiona Ivory Mantle is a beautiful and versatile piece of decor. Whether it is placed against a wall or standalone, it can also be used as a backdrop or a fun focal point. Adorn the mantle with flowers and the base with lanterns, and it is perfect as a backdrop for opening presents at a birthday or baby shower. An equally stunning option is our Wrought Iron Arch. It would look stunning for a garden party, whether you choose to feature it as an entryway to hang a banner. For a more elegant look, weave our Chiffon Runner or fresh flowers through the metal lattice!

Outdoor Drink & Food Displays
One of our favorite ways to make a statement at any event is with a stylish drink or food display. It’s a simple but effective way to elevate a buffet area or to serve up favors to guests! The most popular piece in our inventory of outdoor party decor is our whiskey barrels, with an acrylic or barn wood top. It’s the perfect makeshift bar or grazing table! But you can also use it in tandem with a variety of our cake stands to create a multi-level display of appetizers or desserts. Or create a stylish buffet when you mix and match our beverage dispensers and chafing dishes.
A close second to any of our whiskey barrel bars is our Market Cart. Simple and bright white, it is a chic piece ideal for baby and bridal showers! Use this piece as a welcome area for a ticketed event, as a designated space for presents, or to place favors for guests to grab as they are exiting. If you would prefer a prop with space for custom signage, for a birthday party or themed event, opt for a Ticket Booth.
If you’re hosting a wedding, anniversary, or corporate event, champagne is a must! Toast to another year, or a year of big achievements, with a trendy champagne tower. You can create a beautiful tablescape with any of our linens and a tower created using our Gatsby Champagne Coupes. Or, if you aren’t a fan of a glass tower, feature our White 6-Tier Serving Tower. Sleek and modern, it will make hosting a toast a breeze!



Trendy Outdoor Lounge Areas
Want a focal point for your event that is not just aesthetic? You need a lounge area – maybe two! We stock a large variety of trendy sofas, armchairs, accent tables, and rugs to create a lounge area that is as beautiful as it is comfortable. Start with any of our sofas, like our classic Bennett Leather or the retro-inspired Fern Velvet. Armchairs will increase the amount of seating available, as will any of our poufs or ottomans. If your lounge is being used during a cocktail hour with drinks or light bites, be sure to grab a set of accent tables. And, finally, don’t overlook a rug; whether you prefer cowhide or vintage. It will beautifully frame the space, whereas without one it can leave your lounge feeling incomplete.

Southern Style | Modern Celestial WeddingEvents and Style Shoots, On Trend, Southern Events Products, Trends and Inspiration |

Are you dreaming of a wedding that is out of this world? Check out this modern celestial wedding! A theme that is all about creating a bright and modern atmosphere, with an ethereal touch. It is perfect for couples who want to have a unique wedding that is contemporary yet tasteful! Featuring our stylish rentals and a cool-toned color scheme, check out the details of a styled shoot hosted at Southall Meadows, inspired by the magic of the cosmos.
A Chic Indoor Ceremony
The Hall at Southall Meadows was the perfect setting for a ceremony, with a towering ceiling and blank white walls. It lent an airy atmosphere, softened by romantic white drapery. Complemented by our Acrylic Ghost Armless Chairs. If you have a larger guest count or are feeling inspired by the universe, place them in a half circle for an elegant ceremony in the round. Want to make a memorable first impression? Greet guests at the ceremony space with a colorful mocktail displayed on a White 6-Tier Serving Tower.



Bright Modern Cocktail Party
A bright celestial-themed cocktail hour is a fun and unique way to celebrate your big day. In line with the ceremony, we created a modern setup where guests could grab a drink, get comfortable and mingle prior to dinner. Starting with our elegant curved Harpeth Bar. A classic piece that can be customized with your new last name or a custom monogram!


Celestial-Inspired Cocktails
The bar was stocked with a variety of contemporary glassware, including Gatsby Champagne Coupe and Temptations Glasses. The unique shapes are perfect for serving up quirky signature drinks that embody the theme. Such as a blue-colored drink with glitter for a “galaxy” effect! For additional seating, we opted to feature our modular Pearce Lounge with a Black-Silver Rug. We also have cocktail tables outfitted in Black Nova Linens with Mid-Century Barstools, in black or white.


Modern Celestial Wedding Reception
Come dinner time, we wanted to create a slightly more intimate atmosphere. This is why we set up in the historic barn, which lent a more down-to-earth vibe. It also ensured that the tablescapes, starring a splash of celestial-inspired colors, stood out! Wood banquet tables featured a Sahara Runner in Ivory and round were covered with White Etched Velvet Tablecloths. They were contrasted by sleek serving ware: Glass Chargers with a Black Rim, stacked with Earthen Alabaster and Stone China, and Noir Matte Black Flatware. Meridian Blue Tumblers and Dusty Blue Etched Velvet Napkins lent a unique pop of blue! While Acrylic chairs were a modern and elegant touch.


Non-Floral Table Centerpieces
At each table, centerpieces starred voluminous plumes of dried ferns and pampas, for a subtle bohemian vibe. Although if you want to tone down the florals, consider a non-floral centerpiece starring our Gold Metal Intersect Cube. The bright geometric design is ethereal and the shimmering gold will make your serving ware pop. Place candles around each cube or at the center, depending on how much lighting you would like to feature.

In Stock: Non-Floral Table Centerpieces for Luxurious EventsSouthern Events Products, Trends and Inspiration |

Fresh and colorful florals are timeless, but why not switch things up? A unique centerpiece is one way to elevate your event tables and impress your guests. Centerpieces serve as a focal point and should help tie all of the surrounding elements on your table, like the linens and serving ware, together. Get inspired by our non-floral table centerpieces that can be used to create a photo-worthy spread.
Geometric Centerpieces
For a more modern or luxe event, our Gold Metal Intersect Cube and Gold Metal Sphere are perfect. These elegant geometric centerpieces are perfect for pairing with gold serving ware, not to mention highly versatile. Spruce them up with bright flowers or greenery, pop a candle in the center, or let them stand alone. For a bold maximalist look, we recommend placing them on top of layered linens, dotted with other decorations. Perhaps a mix of single candles, candelabras, and votives!

Delicious Food Spreads
A less common but unique centerpiece is food, featured on a cake stand or charcuterie boards. It is the perfect centerpiece for food-focused celebrations, say a brunch bridal shower or afternoon dinner party. Even more so now that interactive elements and displays have become so popular! You can display cheese, bread, and fruit, as well as handheld desserts – like tasty donuts or cupcakes. We stock a variety of elegant cake stands to suit any theme or style, including the classic Windsor and Glass Cake Stand.

On Trend | Corporate Events With Unique ThemesOn Trend, Southern Events Products |

As the weather warms up there is no better time to host a corporate event. Blue skies and sunshine open up a world of possibilities in terms of creative entertainment and event design. At Southern Events Party Rentals Online, we have a little something for every occasion and celebration! From stylish cocktail hour essentials to cozy event lounges. Perfect for toasting an anniversary, thanking partners and clients, or treating your employees. Get inspired by these unique corporate event themes, perfect for the spring and summer seasons!
Spring Has Sprung
The season of new beginnings, spring is a fitting time to treat your employees to a party that will leave them feeling reenergized. This is one of the more simple corporate event themes, yet it is sure to be a memorable event. We recommend hosting outdoors, to make the most of the seasonal foliage – think of it as natural decor! Scatter a mix of bistro and round tables on the lawn, dressed up with Peaches N’ Cream Poly and our elegant Harlin Dining Chairs. For additional seating, feature a chic neutral lounge area made up of our Bennett Leather Sofa, Adeline Dining Chairs, Chocolate Poufs, and a Navy Rug. To encourage guests to stay awhile, provide them with a stocked Franklin Antique White Bar and grazing boards served up on Wood Melamine Trays.




Off to the Races
The Kentucky Derby may only last two minutes, but it is a highly anticipated and celebrated sporting event. In terms of themed corporate events, there is no better time to host a party. Running with existing events or holidays makes it easier than ever to piece together a theme, and a high-class Derby Party is one of our personal favorites. Start with stylish bistro tables, like a classic bistro table dressed up with Cherry Red Poly Linens. Or the Loren Gold Bistro Table with a Black and White Striped Runner and Acrylic Ghost Barstools. Place an artificial grass rug beneath them for a fun spring touch! A fully stocked bar is essential – try Harpeth customized with your business logo. Classic glassware, like Mint Julep Cups and Davis Rocks Glass, is perfect for serving up bourbon-based cocktails.




Upscale Summer BBQ
A simple but always exciting event theme idea is a classic summer BBQ. A backyard BBQ is fitting for a casual celebration, say an employee appreciation day or even ‘just because’. You don’t need a reason to get together and grill out! Set up picnic tables with Red & White Check Linens. If kids are attending, check out our children’s furniture. For some contrast, feature our Earthen Onyx China and crisp White Napkins. Should you need serving trays, check out our family-style serving pieces. Whether you want a self-serve bar or food display, opt for our Whiskey Barrel Barnwood Bar. For added colors, a mix of vintage rugs will create an extra cozy vibe! Moreso should you feature a fire pit surrounded by poufs and rustic benches.



Black and White Party
If you are hosting an elegant corporate party, you can’t go wrong with a black and white event theme. A grayscale color palette will also make it incredibly easy to put together a cohesive look. Start with classic bistro tables outfitted in our beautiful Black Nova Linens, paired with Mid Century Black Barstools. If you’ll be toasting to the occasion, you’ll need a stylish bar and glassware to match. Our Black Franklin Antique Bar is a bold choice, as is a White 6-Tier Serving Tower. Should you need additional storage space, be sure to grab a set of barback shelves in black or white. For glassware, take a look at our Cybil Champagne Glasses or trendy coupe glasses.
