Southern Style | Host an Elegant Baby Sprinkle

On Trend, Southern Events Products, Trends and Inspiration

elegant baby sprinkle ideas

At-home baby showers offer an intimate and personalized way to celebrate the upcoming arrival of a little one. And at Southern Events, we believe that even the smallest moments deserve grandeur! That’s why we’re here to guide you on how to host an elegant baby sprinkle that will impress your guests or the mom-to-be. From curated furniture and vibrant event linens to charming dinnerware and trendy props. Our expertise in event rentals will make it easy to bring your baby shower or sprinkle vision to life.

What is a Baby Sprinkle?

A smaller version of a traditional baby shower, a baby sprinkle is typically held for parents who are expecting their second or subsequent child. The term “sprinkle” conveys the idea that the event is more about a show of support, rather than showering them with extensive gifts and attention – often associated with a first-time baby shower. Largely because parents already have many of the essential baby items from their previous child. Instead, the focus is on gathering with close friends and family in a casual setting. Making it the perfect occasion to celebrate with an intimate informal dinner at home!

Stylish Dining Tables & Chairs

Transform your home into a haven of sophistication with our beautiful event furniture. Choose from a range of rentals that exude Southern charm, featuring warm woodsy tones and soft antique details. For a modern rustic vibe, consider the Aged Oak Table paired with the Harlin Dining or Cross-Back Chairs. If you’re leaning towards a brighter look, the White Antique Dining Table and Antique White Bentwood Chairs are a fantastic choice. With these curated pieces, you can easily create an unforgettable setting. Or the foundation for an elegant baby sprinkle theme.

Brightly Colored Event Linens

Set the tone for your baby sprinkle with event linens that exude charm and anticipation. Hint at the baby’s gender with bold or pastel shades. Like the Heritage Light Blue and Navy Blue Velvet for a boy. Or, the Kennedy Pink and Lilac Poly for a girl. Alternatively, embrace beautiful neutral tones! With colors like Golden Velvet or the classic Sage Poly. To infuse an extra touch of elegance, explore unique materials. Such as buttery satin, soft velvet, or lightweight linen. These will not only serve as a backdrop for your celebration but lend depth and dimension to the table.

Darling Dinner Ware

The dinner table is where memories are made and conversations flow. Make a lasting impression with our elegant and bright china. Achieve a modern look with the White Coupe China and Rattan White Wash Charger. Or opt for a softer look with the Alabaster Earthen China. Paired with charming Darcy Chargers, featuring a delicate scalloped edge. Add a hint of luxury with gold accents like the Vera Floral China. Or the Coronado pattern for a subtle pop of color. To complete your place setting, all of these pieces harmonize seamlessly with our Celia Gold Rim Glassware and Austin Flatware.

Focal Points That Delight

Create focal points that spark conversations and double as stylish props. Our bars are not only perfect for serving drinks but make for eye-catching displays. Perfect for desserts like gender reveal cakes! The Alice Bar exudes elegance. While the Chelsea Marble Top Bar adds a modern retro touch to your setup. Looking for something more playful? Our Market Cart can be easily customized with colorful balloons and signage. Adding a whimsical element to the ambiance. Consider pairing it with the Vintage Popcorn Machine that playfully declares “She’s About to Pop!”

Tips to Host a Feel-Good Party with Sustainable Event Rentals

Southern Events Products, Trends and Inspiration

green goblets colorful glassware for weddings

Hosting a party is a wonderful way to celebrate life’s special moments with friends and family. However, in our efforts to create memorable events, we often overlook the environmental impact. From plastic disposables to excessive waste, parties can generate a considerable carbon footprint. But fear not, there is a better way! By choosing sustainable event rentals, we can reduce our ecological footprint while still throwing a stylish gathering. Explore how you can host a feel-good party by renting linens, china, and other serving pieces from Southern Events Online.

High-Quality Linens

When it comes to creating an eco-friendly tablescape, opting for sustainable linens is a fantastic choice. Instead of disposable tablecloths and paper napkins, consider renting high-quality fabric linens. Reusable tablecloths made from natural fibers like linen or cotton not only exude elegance but also reduce waste significantly. We stock a variety of options for every occasion! From whimsical pastels to bold jewel tones and sophisticated patterns. Plus, seasonally-inspired options such as Four Seasons Floral for a sunny summer soiree. Or, perhaps an Ocean Blue Velvet Tablecloth contrasted with Lavender and Hot Pink Napkins for a bold jewel-toned look.

Reusable China and Flatware

Ditch the disposable plates and cutlery in exchange for timeless china and flatware. Renting ceramic or porcelain dishes not only adds sophistication to your table settings. It also helps prevent single-use plastic waste from piling up in landfills, and your garbage cans. Stack our Darcy Charger with the Liana China, along with the Abby silver flatware for a charming vintage-inspired table. Or, for a more modern vibe, complement a Glass Charger with Black Rim and Earthen Alabaster China with Austin Gold Flatware. Need a setting that oozes luxury? You can’t go wrong with our Hamlet China – although the sleek Athena China is equally striking. Moreso when contrasted by the Noir Matte Black Flatware. Mix and match to your heart’s desire, or take a look at some of our favorite on-trend party plates for more inspiration.

Eye-Catching Glassware

One of the biggest culprits of waste at parties is plastic cups. Eliminate this waste by renting glassware for your beverages – an eye-catching alternative! From wine glasses to tumblers and everything in between, glassware rentals add a touch of class and sustainability to your party. In addition to being an easy way to infuse an extra touch of style. Take for example our Cybil glassware, with a funky modern shape. Or our beaded glassware, oozing coastal charm. Furthermore, consider using beverage dispensers for serving drinks. Not only do they look stylish, but they also minimize the need for single-use plastic bottles and cans. Infuse water with fresh fruits or herbs to create a refreshing and visually appealing drink station.

Stylish Serving Pieces

When it comes to serving food, to parties large or small, we offer a variety of options to suit your needs. Chafing dishes, which keep food warm, are excellent for buffet-style events and help reduce food waste by maintaining optimal serving temperatures. Meanwhile, family-style serving bowls encourage guests to share food, fostering a sense of community and reducing individual packaging waste. Finally, silver trays and charcuterie boards lend a touch of sophistication to your spread while avoiding disposable platters and trays.

Modern Black and White Wedding at Diamond Creek

Events and Style Shoots, On Trend, Trends and Inspiration

modern black and white wedding

Nothing beats the classic elegance of black-and-white wedding design! This timeless color combination is perfect for any season and creates a sleek and sophisticated ambiance for your big day. Get inspired by a styled shoot hosted at Diamond Creek Farm, featuring stylish event rentals from Southern Events Online. From chic acrylic seating to bold linens, we have everything you need to host an elevated black-and-white wedding.

Simple Chic Ceremony

For this styled shoot, we aimed to showcase the beauty of a modern black-and-white wedding. Starting with an elegant outdoor ceremony! Hosting outdoors is all about letting nature shine. At Diamond Creek, this entails the sprawling Tennessee farmlands. Just past the veranda, a manicured lawn overlooking the countryside is a fitting setting for a vow exchange. Ceremony seating consisted of our Acrylic Ghost Armless Chairs. The clear material is chic and it doesn’t take away from the view. The outdoor space is elevated with a floral backdrop made of white flowers and dark greenery. An equally stunning alternative, consider our Fiona Mantle with the same flower arrangement. Off to the side, a bistro table is dressed up with Black Nova Linens for a live painter.

Luxe Black and White Lounge

An elegant black and white lounge area with some grey accents is the perfect addition to any wedding. An essential for a cocktail hour! This type of setup creates a chic and sophisticated space for guests to relax and socialize in. Start with our luxurious Henley Grey Velvet Tufted Sofa and the matching Armchairs. To frame the space we always recommend a rug, and in this case, our Black-Silver Rug is perfect. It pairs beautifully with a set of Echo Mirror Silver Side Tables. If you like a little contrast, place a Gold Hammered Coffee Table in the center. Or you can keep to the color scheme and opt for pewter.

Contemporary Tablescape

The table was set with a stunning combination of black-and-white elements. We used a Grey Goose tablecloth as the base, complemented by a romantic Dove Grey Table Runner. The use of soft grey linens allowed the pure white flower centerpieces to shine! On top, we placed Glass Chargers with a Black Rim and Earthen Onyx China to create contrast. Matched by Noir Matte Black Flatware and solid Black Poly Napkins. Cybil Wine Glasses and Champagne flutes were a fun and funky addition that lent a contemporary flair. Complete with the same acrylic seating from the ceremony, this tablescape exudes modern luxury. Thanks to the natural palette it is also versatile! It would look just as beautiful for a minimalist celebration in a modern event barn as it would for a black-tie wedding in a grand ballroom.

In Stock: Unique Outdoor Party Decor and Props

Southern Events Products, Trends and Inspiration

boxwood champagne wall outdoor at Tennessee outdoor event

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.

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.

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.

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. To create a more dimensional look, we recommend featuring stands of different heights. A feat made easy with our Marble and Gold Adjustable Cake Stand!

Love in Full Bloom | Colorful Spring Wedding Ideas

On Trend, Southern Events Products, Trends and Inspiration

colorful spring wedding ideas

Bright, floral-focused weddings are trending! Perhaps due to the renewed interest in maximalist design or a desire to shift away from neutral palettes. In either case, a vivid color scheme will lend a luxe and modern look for the spring and summer seasons. Get inspired to host a colorful spring wedding with these on-trend ideas starring our stylish event rentals. Southern Events Online has everything you need to pull off a chic celebration, from a whimsical garden ceremony to a bold maximalist reception.

Bold Monochromatic Scheme

One of our favorite bright wedding color schemes is a monochromatic palette. Red, blue, orange, pink, or purple – mixing the hues from any one of these colors are perfect for a bold wedding. For example, this gorgeous tented wedding with bright red and pink tablecloths is classically romantic. Especially when complemented by brilliant floral centerpieces and fresh bundles of greenery. Meanwhile, crisp napkins paired with White Round China and Bradley Flatware kept the look modern and airy. Our Gold Chiavari Chairs are a sophisticated touch, as is the Tessa Tufted Beige Linen Loveseat, overall, a super cozy detail the newlyweds will enjoy.

Refreshing Blue & Green Hues

This spring wedding inspiration stars refreshing blue and green hues, for a soft and organic vibe. It’s a gorgeous look for an early spring wedding as we come out of a cold and dreary winter! Start with romantic tablecloths starring bright blues, like our Light Blue Pindot, or you might consider the Blue Kensington linens, for a chic maximalist design. Furthermore, tie in splashes of green using buttery napkins in the color Fern, and create an elegant drink station to greet guests using our Green Goblets. For a fun interactive element, display them on White Barback Bookshelves. If the weather is nice we always recommend an outdoor lounge! Take a look at our romantic Everly Sofa and Chairs, paired with the Blanche Coffee Table and aqua rug.

Let’s celebrate one of our greatest hits! The Liana china is still quite new, but it’s been styled in so many creative ways. We love the combination of the green dishes with marigold yellow flowers and fruit accents! 🍐🌼
