Dura-Trac Flooring

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.

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.

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.

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! This cream-colored piece features an arched silhouette, pad feet, a camelback, and carved arms, plus a distressed wood frame.

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!

2021 is rapidly approaching and with it are new event trends! Our team at Southern Events is looking forward to getting creative to help you design memorable celebrations in the year ahead. Get inspired for your future events by looking at the 2021 trends, featuring our in-stock rentals.

Luxe But Sustainable

Luxe events aren’t going anywhere but we’re seeing an increased interest in sustainability. There are multiple ways to host a sustainable event via rentals. The first is reusable serving ware, including china, flatware, glassware, and linens. Rentals are an easy and beautiful way to reduce the waste produced by your event.

In terms of styling, expect lots of lush plants & greenery. Potted plants are especially beautiful and perfect for aisle decor and table centerpieces.  The same goes for dried plants, which lend lots of texture. Pampas grass in particular is trending, as it easily adds volume and height. Expect to see an increasing amount of dried flower bouquets and arrangements.

This emerald, cream & gold tablescape features our Gold Rim Glass Charger, Alabaster Earthenware, Gold Austin Flatware, Fern Velvet Linens, Colored Glassware & Pure Glassware.

All Out Events

Go big or go home right? One 2021 trend is events that are memorable, not necessarily in size but in the details. Diva Boho-themed events are a great example. Think of bold & intricate geometric patterns, and voluminous flowers or other organic arrangements. Metallics are also here to stay, as they are a quick way to add some sparkle and shine to an event. At this type of event, you can tell that every thoughtful detail was well planned and executed.

This bright textured tablescape was created using our Medallion Gold Glass Chargers, Onyx Earthenware, Austin Flatware & Audrey Gold Rim Glassware.

A Focus on Sentimentality

People are gravitating towards heirlooms and the texture of various things that draw them to the past – we expect this event trend to only get bigger in 2021. Not necessarily a boho theme, but colors and textures that incite a sense of nostalgia. So sustainable handmade pieces lend texture, such as clay, jute, and wicker decor. This trend also applies to attire, in the form of heirloom jewelry, clothing, and accessories. For weddings, think dresses with intricate old-school embroidery in an ivory or cream color. One great example is celestial-inspired events, where texture and vintage or retro items are easy to incorporate into the design.

Recreate this romantic neutral design with our Driftwood Velvet Napkins, Artisan China, Cybil Glassware, & Como Flatware.

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 Marine 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.

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.

When we lose a loved one we want to create a celebration that represents them. Celebrations of life are similar to memorial services but often take place after a funeral – or sometimes in place of a funeral altogether. This gives you more time to create a personalized celebration that truly represents your lost loved one. Get inspired by a recent regal celebration of life party in Nashville, Tennessee.

Bistro Tables

Celebrations of life are a time for people to come together or reconnect with loved ones. Bistro tables make for a great place for people to gather and chat, especially if drinks or appetizers are being served. Keep the centerpieces for these tables simple with small floral arrangements or a handful of votive candles and choose linens in a favorite color of your passed love one.

Dinner Service

As with a funeral, you may choose to serve lunch or dinner. Keep things simple, with round or rectangle guests tables and elevated centerpieces (so guests can easily chat across the table). You choice of chairs can be another way to personalize the event – Cross-back Chairs or Folding Chairs work great for a relaxed feel. Ghost or Chiavari Chairs create a more elegant feel – as do our beautiful velvet linens. We offer our velvet linens and napkins in a wide range of popular colors, including Sterling Grey, Silver and London Fog.

Table Centerpieces

In addition or as an alternative to florals, lanterns and candles make for beautiful table centerpieces – you might also consider a special candle-lighting ceremony. We offer a wide variety of tabletop lanterns, perfect for an elegant celebration of life. Such as our Vintage Gold or Silver Burnished Square Tabletop Lantern. We also love the use of floating candles in our Davis Glass Cylinders.

Lounge Areas

A frequently overlooked element are lounge areas, which your guests will appreciate for events where catching up and talking with other guests is expected. We currently offer a number of different lounge packages, ranging from modern to rustic and regal. These packages include a mix of complementary furniture, such as sofas, chairs, side tables, coffee tables, and as well as a rugs.

Classic Tents

Some people opt to host celebrations of life at home or in their backyard. Keeping this type of even close to home can make guests feel more connected or comfortable. For this type of event, we offer classic tents, available in a variety of packages to suit any guest count. For any of our services, our team is glad to offer contactless pick-up or set-up, too.

Personal Touches

Celebrate your loved ones’ hobbies, interests, and passions with personalized touches throughout the event design. For the avid sports fan, consider our Harpeth Bar inset with the logo of their favorite team, like this one shown as a example below. Or feature linens in their team colors. These small elements make a big statement that makes your celebration of life personal and unique.
