Holiday Lounge Areas: Tips for Designing Warm, Welcoming Spaces

Southern Events Products, Trends and Inspiration

Supporting image

When the holidays arrive, it’s all about connection—the laughter, the stories, and the simple joy of being together. Whether you’re hosting a corporate party, a cocktail soirée, or an intimate winter gathering, creating inviting holiday lounge areas helps set the tone. A well-designed lounge encourages guests to relax, mingle, and linger a little longer. If you’ve ever wondered, “How do I design a cozy holiday lounge for a party?” it starts with thoughtful furniture pairings, a few key accessories, and plenty of warmth in color and texture.

Lounge Looks That Inspire

The right furniture can completely transform your space, offering comfort and sophistication in equal measure. Each of our curated combinations below helps you achieve a distinct style, whether your holiday celebration calls for moody drama, natural warmth, or bold elegance.

Moody Glam

For a look that’s both sleek and inviting, style the Magnolia Velvet Sofa with Black Brooks Velvet Chairs and the Avalon Rectangle Coffee Table. Anchor the space with a Black-Silver Rug for an extra touch of shine. This combination feels rich and intimate, fitting for evening gatherings or candlelit celebrations where guests can settle in with a drink and good company.

Warm & Woodsy Elegance

If your style leans toward rustic luxury, combine the Bennett Leather Sofa with the Carter Chair, a Bellamy Beige Linen Bench, and a Rivet Accent Table. Finish the space with an Indigo Rug for added depth and coziness. This setup feels like a winter lodge getaway: warm, textural, and timelessly elegant.

Bold & Gold

Bring some festive sparkle to your event with the Marine Velvet Sofa, Gold Bamboo Armchairs, and a Gold Hammered Coffee Table. A Navy Rug grounds the look with just the right balance of richness and restraint. This style is all about confidence! It’s perfect for a glamorous holiday party or chic New Year’s Eve lounge.


I had a great experience with Southern Events! Not only were their prices reasonable, but everything went smoothly. They were very accommodating with our rental needs and the set up, flip, and break down all went perfectly. Couldnt have asked for a better rental company! —Annie M.


No lounge area is complete without a nearby bar for guests to enjoy a festive drink while they chat and unwind. Our Black Jamison Curved Bar adds a dramatic focal point to any space, while the Chelsea Marble Top Bar brings subtle shimmer. For something timeless, the Franklin Antique White Bar offers a classic and versatile look.

Pair your bar with coordinating bar back shelves in black, white, or gold to keep glassware within easy reach and your display beautiful from every angle. Stock the shelves with elegant options from our glassware collection, whether you’re serving hot spiked cider, champagne toasts, or themed holiday cocktails.

Cocktail Tables That Tie It All Together

Cocktail tables are the unsung heroes of any great lounge setup—they’re where conversations happen, drinks rest, and decor details shine. The Charleston Bistro Table with a marble top makes a statement all on its own, perfect for a cocktail reception or dessert station. For a softer seasonal touch, cover classic tables with rich velvet linens in jewel or neutral tones.

Andrew Allen Morton

Looking for a lighter, more natural aesthetic? The Palmer Bistro Table with matching chairs offers effortless charm in warm wood tones, ideal for daytime holiday gatherings. And for a luxe twist, the Loren Gold Bistro Table pairs beautifully with Acrylic Ghost Barstools or Gold Chiavari Barstools. It’s always a good idea to bring a hint of glamour to your festive setting!

Finishing Touches for a Cozy Holiday Lounge

“What accessories should I add to a holiday lounge space?” Start with texture! Think faux fur throws, velvet pillows, layered rugs, and ambient lighting. Add candles or twinkle lights to make your lounge glow. A few simple accents can transform a beautiful setup into one that feels lived-in, warm, and utterly welcoming.

From moody cocktail lounges to soft, winter-inspired spaces, our winter lounge furniture collection makes it easy to design the perfect holiday hangout. With the right mix of materials, seating, and sparkle, your guests will never want to leave. Contact us today to secure your rentals!

Style Inspiration: Monochromatic Event Design

Southern Events Products, Trends and Inspiration

Supporting image

There’s a reason monochromatic event design continues to trend across weddings, galas, and corporate celebrations—it’s effortlessly chic. By focusing on one color and layering variations of tone, texture, and material, you can create an elevated look that feels both cohesive and memorable. It’s proof that sometimes, less really is more. You don’t have to stress about perfect color matches—what matters is the harmony of hue and the interplay of texture. Below, we’re showcasing how to bring this look to life using some of our favorite in-stock rentals!

Contemporary Black: Sleek and Sophisticated

A black palette never goes out of style. For a dramatic yet timeless look, our Black Velvet Sofa paired with Acrylic Ghost Armless Chairs makes an instant statement. The Collins Black Wood Bar adds structure and warmth, while a Black Round Lacquer Charger layered with the Carrera Marble Dinner Plate creates a polished tablescape that feels high-end and editorial. Finish the look with Black Dupioni or Black Nova Linens for an elegant, seamless base that ties it all together.

Luxe and Modern White: Clean, Dreamy, and Timeless

White monochromatic design offers a blank canvas that radiates light and luxury. Our Thompson Full Oval Bar (or half-round) with a white bar back shelf created a sleek foundation for cocktails or displays. For seating, White Chiavari Chairs pair beautifully with layered linens. Try the Havana Parchment Tablecloth topped with a White Sahara Runner for depth and dimension.

At each place setting, Darcy China and matching chargers bring sculptural details to the table, balancing softness with contemporary edge. The result? A look that’s equally suited for a chic wedding or modern corporate dinner. Refined, elegant, and effortlessly photogenic.

Bold Blue: Confident and Captivating

For those who want color with character, a blue monochromatic design feels both bold and classic. The Marine Velvet Sofa and Armchairs set a luxurious tone, especially when paired with an Indigo Rug for depth. On the table, Cabo Blue China and Beaded Meridian Blue Tumblers bring vibrant energy to the setting. We love this look with our Heritage Light Blue Tablecloth and Kennedy Navy Napkins, a pairing that feels layered, fresh, and photo-ready. Whether it’s a dinner under string lights or a ballroom celebration, this shade of blue adds undeniable presence and poise.

Elegant Green: Natural, Inviting, and Refined

A green monochromatic palette brings the outside in, making it perfect for celebrations inspired by nature. The Fern Velvet Sofa and Sage-Blush Rug create a cozy yet elevated lounge area, while Sage Chiavari Chairs add soft structure to your dining setup. The Franklin Sage Bar is an instant showstopper, tying the color story together seamlessly.

For tabletop details, Liana China feels fresh and floral, complemented by the Sahara Sage Runner and Costa Nova Sage Napkins. This palette strikes the perfect balance—organic and grounded, yet exquisitely elegant.

Bringing It All Together

No matter your color of choice, a monochromatic palette allows every detail to shine. By focusing on one color story and playing with tone, texture, and finish, you create visual harmony and sophistication without the fuss. From moody blacks to airy whites, bold blues to elegant greens, these curated looks prove that staying within one palette can make an unforgettable impression.

In Stock: Outdoor Wedding Ceremony Rentals

Southern Events Products, Trends and Inspiration

outdoor wedding ceremony venue

Outdoor wedding ceremonies in Nashville come in every style and setting imaginable. From lush gardens and rolling farmland to city rooftops and lakeside docks, an open-air celebration brings the beauty of nature front and center. Whether you’ve dreamed of saying “I do” under a canopy of trees or in front of a sweeping skyline, Southern Events has the outdoor wedding ceremony rentals to make it unforgettable.

Seating That Sets the Scene

Your ceremony seating is more than a place for guests to land. It’s part of the overall atmosphere. Mix and match for an eclectic feel or choose a single style for a cohesive, classic look. For outdoor weddings, we love pieces that complement the surroundings and photograph beautifully:

  • Rustic Benches for a relaxed, natural look that blends seamlessly into a farm or garden venue
  • White Folding Chairs for a clean, traditional style that pops against green grass or colorful blooms
  • Cross-Back Chairs for a warm, wood-toned touch that feels timeless and elegant
  • Acrylic Ghost Armless Chairs for a sleek, modern contrast to outdoor backdrops
  • Black Willow Chairs for a dramatic, fashion-forward vibe

Backdrops That Frame Your Vows

An outdoor venue often comes with a built-in view, but the right backdrop can help frame the moment and anchor your ceremony space. Even a simple structural element can help draw the eye and make your ceremony space feel complete. Some of our most-loved options include:

  • Fiona Ivory Mantle for a romantic, vintage-inspired setting
  • Wrought Iron Arch for a timeless structure that pairs beautifully with florals or greenery
  • Franklin Antique White Columns for a clean, architectural touch
  • Whiskey Barrels for rustic charm that also double as floral stands or drink stations

Style the Aisle

Your aisle is your runway, so give it the attention it deserves! Outdoor ceremonies are the perfect opportunity to incorporate natural textures and layered details. These little details not only elevate the design but also create gorgeous photo moments:

  • Vintage Rugs to add warmth, color, and a collected feel
  • Cowhide Rugs for a unique, boho-inspired twist
  • Accent Tables like our Claro Metal or Cheval Gold Mirror Side Tables topped with flowers or lanterns
  • Lush Florals or Greenery to line the pathway and soften the space

Frequently Asked Outdoor Ceremony Questions

  1. How many chairs do I need? Plan for one per guest, plus a few extras. For 150 guests, 160 chairs will give you flexibility for last-minute additions.
  2. What’s the best seating layout for outdoors? We love semi-circles for intimate spaces or staggered straight rows for a clean look. Curved layouts also work beautifully in wide-open areas.
  3. Do I need a backdrop if there’s a view? Not always! But a backdrop or framing element can help define the space and make photos feel intentional.
  4. Can I see the rentals in person? Absolutely. Schedule a visit to our Franklin showroom to see your options up close and design your dream setup.

The Secret to a Stylish Event? Linen Rentals That Wow

Southern Events Products, Trends and Inspiration

event linen rentals nashville

There’s something about beautiful linens that instantly set the tone for an event. They create the canvas for your table design, pull your color palette together, and bring a sense of polish that guests notice right away. Whether you are planning a wedding, gala, or corporate celebration, table linen rentals from Southern Events can take your space from simple to stunning! Get inspired by the latest additions to our inventory, with styling tips and tricks that guarantee a visually stunning tablescape.

All Eyes on the Table

Your tablescape is where guests spend the most time, making it the perfect place to showcase your style. Our inventory features a variety of tablecloth rentals, runners, and napkins that can serve as your backdrop or your focal point. These are a few of our current favorites:

  • Blue Floral Linen – A timeless pattern reminiscent of classic toile, perfect for garden parties or elegant brunches
  • Green Meadow Linen – A whimsical mix of green with bright pops of color, evoking a wildflower field in bloom
  • Regalia Velvet Linen – Deep black velvet adorned with bold florals and regal peacock motifs for a dramatic, luxe look
  • Verdant Bloom Linen – A contemporary field of cool-toned blue and green blooms for a fresh, editorial feel

Want to create depth? Layer a patterned runner over a solid cloth, or add napkins in a complementary shade to tie everything together.

What Size Linens Do I Need for My Event Tables?

The right size is key for a polished look. A standard 60-inch round table typically needs a 120-inch round tablecloth for a floor-length drop. For an 8-foot banquet table, a 90×156-inch linen will provide full coverage. If you prefer a more casual, mid-length look, opt for a shorter size. Not sure what will fit? Our team can guide you through measurements so every table is perfectly dressed.

How Much Does It Cost to Rent Linens for a Wedding?

Pricing depends on the fabric, size, and style. For standard polyester linens, expect to spend $10 to $25 per tablecloth. Specialty fabrics like velvet, satin, or sequined designs may range from $60 to $90 or more. Napkins, runners, and overlays are typically priced separately. Many couples find that investing in quality linens is worth it for the cohesive look and the time saved on cleaning and setup.

Beyond the Table

Linens are not just for dining tables. Use them to dress cocktail tables for a chic gathering space, drape a dessert table for a coordinated look, or cover buffet stations so they blend seamlessly with your décor. With the right fabric and color, linens can turn any functional space into a design feature.

Try It, Style It, Love It

The best way to see how linens can transform your event is to experience them in person. Visit our showroom in Franklin to explore our collection of table linen rentals, layer fabrics, and create sample setups with our event stylists. Prefer a ready-made look? Our Styled by Southern collections feature pre-curated designs that make linen selection effortless, perfect for planners or hosts who want a turnkey solution with standout style.

Plan for one chair per guest, plus a few extras for vendors or last-minute additions. For 100 guests, aim for 110–115 chairs to be safe.

What’s the best layout for a small ceremony?
For intimate gatherings, we love a round or semi-circle seating layout. It brings guests closer, feels cozy, and looks amazing in photos. We’ll help you design a layout that suits your space.

Do I need a backdrop if my venue has a view?
Not necessarily—but even simple structural elements like columns or barrels can help frame the moment and ground the space.

Can I see these wedding ceremony rentals in person?
Absolutely! We invite you to schedule a tour of our showroom so you can see, feel, and plan your setup in real life. It’s the perfect time to test seating styles, compare materials, and get inspired.

Southern Events Products, Trends and Inspiration

european picnic rentals

Dreaming of the Amalfi Coast? With European picnic rentals from Southern Event Rentals, you can bring that effortless, sun-drenched charm straight to your backyard. Ideal for hosting a stylish dinner party, garden gathering, or milestone celebration, this on-trend look pairs vintage-inspired china, citrus tones, and rich wood textures for a casual yet elevated setting. With thoughtfully curated rentals and plenty of summer flavor, we’ll help you design a scene that feels like an Italian escape—no passport required.

Taste of Italy

Every unforgettable European picnic begins with an al fresco table, and we have just the pieces to bring that Amalfi Coast flair to life. Layer our Coronado China, with its sophisticated motif, and minimalist Artisan or Earthen Alabaster China to create a collected, curated feel. Add texture and warmth with our Walnut Rattan Chargers. A classic choice that pairs beautifully with Cornflower Costa Nova Napkins and Aged Oak Dining Table. Whether you prefer bold citrus colors or soft neutrals, these versatile rentals provide the perfect foundation for a table that’s as delicious to look at as the food served on it.

Sit Back and Savor

Creating a space where guests can relax and linger is key to capturing that slow, celebratory European vibe. And our seating options are designed for just that! The Cross-Back Chair offers timeless rustic charm. Or the Antique White Bentwood Chair brings a touch of vintage elegance with a light, breezy look. For communal-style gatherings, our Rustic Benches encourage closeness and conversation. And the Adeline Dining Chair adds an elevated, graceful touch. Mixed and matched or styled uniformly, these seating choices feel both inviting and effortlessly chic.

Clink in Color

No picnic is complete without beautiful glassware that shines in the evening sun. Our collection delivers both color and charm. Pour a chilled spritz into our beaded Meridian Blue Glasses for a pop of coastal cool, or serve rosé in the softly-hued Sunset Wine Glass for a golden-hour glow. For a nod to vintage glamour, the Gatsby Coupe Glass brings timeless elegance to your bubbly. Meanwhile, the Deco Amber Tumbler adds just the right amount of retro flair. These standout pieces don’t just hold your drinks, they help set the mood.

Coastline Comfort

When the sun dips low and the wine keeps flowing, a lounge setup is the perfect way to extend the evening without losing that laid-back, oceanside vibe. Our Ellison Sofa and matching chairs bring effortless coastal elegance to any backyard setting. Crafted from weathered teak and topped with crisp white cushions. Complete the look with the coordinating coffee table for a cohesive feel. Whether guests are sipping limoncello or sharing stories under the string lights, this lounge invites them to stay a little longer.

Backyard Toddler Birthday Party Rentals for Any Theme

Southern Events Products, Trends and Inspiration

toddler birthday party rentals

Planning a toddler’s birthday party in your own backyard offers the perfect blend of comfort, fun, and flexibility. Whether you’re envisioning a whimsical garden tea party, a colorful carnival celebration, or a simple playdate with family and friends, the right rentals can help you create a safe and stylish environment that makes your little one feel celebrated. At Southern Events, we specialize in toddler birthday party rentals designed to elevate any theme while prioritizing child-sized comfort and big kid fun.

The Importance of Child-Sized Furniture

When hosting a birthday party for toddlers, it’s crucial to think from their perspective—literally. Adult-sized furniture can be intimidating or uncomfortable for young children, especially during a meal or activity. Choose from:

  • Children’s Fruitwood Farm Table – A rustic yet refined option for a countryside tea party or woodland-themed birthday.
  • Children’s Acrylic Chiavari Chair – Crystal-clear and elegant, perfect for a fairy-tale or winter wonderland theme.
  • Gold Bow Chair – Adds a regal touch for princess-themed celebrations or tea parties.
  • White Resin Folding Chair – Clean and modern; pairs well with bold linens or colorful decor.
  • Cross Back Chair – Perfect for barnyard, garden, or vintage-style parties.
  • Chiavari Chairs in Fruitwood, White, and Pink – Choose a color that complements your palette and theme.

Creating a Cohesive Theme with Versatile Rentals

Every toddler has their favorite characters, colors, and activities—and our goal is to bring those favorites to life through rentals that are as adorable as they are practical. Start with a simple foundation like a pop-up tent for shade. These tents come in various sizes and protect guests from the sun or rain, allowing the party to go on no matter the weather.

Next, add decorative and functional accents to elevate the experience. A market cart makes a fun and flexible centerpiece. Use it to display cupcakes, serve lemonade, or create a drop-off zone for gifts. Our white 6-tier serving tower is a favorite for showcasing sweet treats or party favors. While bookshelves in black, white, or gold can be transformed into themed displays for books, plush toys, or goody bags.

Want a showstopper centerpiece? Set up the scalloped Ellie Gold Cake Stand or a sleek glass cake stand for your little one’s birthday cake. These stands photograph beautifully and give your dessert the attention it deserves.

Making Room for Activities

Toddlers love to move, and a safe, stable surface is essential when planning games or activities. Our dance floors are not just for weddings and formal events. Available in colors like black and white, plank wood, and solid black, they create a clean and secure space for toddlers to dance, jump, and play. Dance floors also serve as a great place for group games, sing-alongs, or parachute play.

And because hydration is just as important as playtime, our vintage washtubs are a charming way to keep kid-friendly drinks within easy reach. Stock them with juice boxes or water bottles, and place them near play or dining areas for convenience.

Add a Pop of Personality with Linens and Decor

One of the easiest ways to tie your theme together is through linens. Southern Events offers a variety of fun and festive table linens to suit any party concept. Some fun kid-friendly favorites:

  • Black & White Stripe – Perfect for circus or animal themes.
  • Mango Tango – Bright and citrusy, great for tropical or summer parties.
  • Pink Sequins – A hit for princess, unicorn, or ballerina parties.
  • Lagoon Poly – Adds a splash of sea-blue for under-the-sea or mermaid vibes.

Our design team can help you mix and match colors and textures for a cohesive and curated look that brings your toddler’s theme to life.
