Nothing is quite as invigorating as a bright spring gathering after a long and dreary winter. As nature springs back to life consider hosting a casual outdoor party. Whether it is a simple backyard dinner or a semi-formal cocktail hour, light bites, refreshing beverages, and good company are exactly what the doctor calls for! Get inspired by our most popular spring event design ideas, featuring our pastel event rentals. From chic linens and elegant serving ware to dreamy lounge areas, we have everything you need to host a sunny spring soiree.

Sleek & Chic Serving Pieces

Is it just us or does a well-thought-out place setting make for an extra charming table? Modern chic event design calls for a bright palette featuring crisp serving ware with a splash of color. Start with simple china, such as the Classic Round or dainty Darcy, and for a more muted white, consider Alabaster Earthen China. You can add texture with our Elegant Rattan White Wash Charger or Scalloped Wood Charger – paired with pastel linens, you’ll achieve an elegant table. If you would like a little more color, swap the white china out for brighter plates – perhaps the Coronado, Laguna, or Veral Floral China. Choosing flatware is simple. Just select a polished, matte, or brushed finish.

Fancy Glassware + Drink Displays

One of our favorite spring event ideas is signature drinks. And we have a variety of gorgeous glassware that will elevate any cocktail (or mocktail)! Popular choices include Cybil Wine Glass, Monaco Rock Glass, and Pure Water Glass. Our Franklin 4 Ft Antique White Bar is a classic choice for a small gathering. Use it to display your favorite alcohol and mixers. Or feature batch cocktails placed atop our Rattan Beverage Jar Stand. If you need additional display pieces, take a look at our White 6-Tier Serving Tower or White Bookcase.

Bright Linens

Linens are one of the most effective ways to incorporate color into your event table. And we have a huge array of pastel event rentals to help you create a spring-inspired tablescape! From subtle blue and purple hues to sunny yellows and greens. You can add as many colors or shades of color as you like by mixing and matching tablecloths and napkins.

Create a trendy monochromatic look by pairing our Peaches n’ Cream Poly Linens with Coral Velvet Napkins, or pair classic colors with a buttery texture when you combine our Fern Velvet Tablecloth with Navy Blue Velvet Napkins. Other gorgeous choices include Lilac Poly, Honey Poly, and Light Blue Pindot. If you prefer muted pastels, be sure to consider our Kennedy Collection.

Sunny Outdoor Event Lounges

Is there any better way to enjoy the outdoors than a sunny lounge area? Having at least one, if not several, will encourage your guests to cozy up and hang out – hopefully with a cocktail in hand! Start with a stylish sofa that will stand out against nature. Such as the Everly or Bennett Leather Sofa. Then consider armchairs, like our always popular Gloria Velvet. Or sub in dining chairs for an extra-chic look, whether it be the Harlin or Adeline chairs.

You will also want a set of accent tables, which can be a great way to add in metallics – like the Gold Hammered or Cheval Gold Mirror Side Tables. One of the most underrated spring event rentals is our stylish rugs, which will help frame lounge furniture placed on a lawn or gravel – to make the space extra cozy you can also feature a mix of poufs and ottomans.

Retro event design is getting lots of love, especially among brides and grooms. And what’s not to love about the vibrant color schemes, modern retro furniture, and nostalgia-inducing decorations? Even better, this theme can encompass a variety of styles. Whether you prefer a minimalist look, a bright whimsical vibe, or a dark and moody design. Check out some ceremony and reception ideas that can be used to host a colorful retro wedding, featuring our stylish event rentals.

Retro-Inspired Wedding Ceremony

Planning a retro-inspired wedding ceremony is easy with our on-trend seating and decor. Pick from a variety of chairs, such as our Acrylic Ghost Armless Chairs or Acrylic Ghost Arm Chairs. Our Black Resin Folding Chairs are a classic choice for a moody retro vibe. One of our favorite retro wedding ideas is the use of layered rugs to decorate the aisle way. Use a mix of cowhide or vintage rugs, depending on whether your theme leans toward modern or bohemian.

Colorful Retro Reception Tables

A retro wedding calls for bold trendy tablescapes! We have countless pieces of serving ware and luxe linens that can be used to create colorful retro reception tables. Whether you are running with a cool or warm-toned palette, or a minimalist or maximalist design. Should you prefer a bold luxe look, start with a vibrant tablecloth in a rich Magnolia or Coral. Pull off an alternative look by stacking colorful serving ware on top of Black Velvet Linens. For a warm metallic table, stack our Darcy China and Kate Polka Dot China. Pair it with Amber Goblets and Austin Flatware to round out the look. Use runners for a layered maximalist design, or keep the look simple yet luxe with vibrant napkins. Or use mismatched napkins in retro tones, placed atop Earthen Alabaster China, for a whimsical touch!

A Retro Chic-Cocktail Hour

Planning to host a cocktail hour on the big day? Colorful wedding rentals are our favorite, and that’s exactly what a retro-chic cocktail hour calls for! Check out our cozy sofas, such as the Fern Velvet Sofa, Jacqueline Sofa, and Saylor Navy Velvet Sofa. Pair them with a set of trendy armchairs or ottomans, like the Gloria Velvet Armchair or a Turkish Rug Ottoman. Especially popular are the White Eiffel Arm Chairs – a design straight from the ’50s. Or grab the Regent Black Velvet Sofa and a set of acrylic chairs for a moody look. If you need more social areas, set up cocktail tables outfitted with bright linens and our Midcentury Barstools in White or Black.

Elegant Ice-Inspired Serving Ware

Serving up dinner and/or drinks? We’ve got the perfect serving ware for a festive ice-inspired celebration! For a chilly winter vibe, we recommend sticking to silver accented serving ware. Like a Glass Charger with Silver Rim or Silver Round Lacquer Charger. On top, stack crisp White Round China or Earthen Alabaster China, for a softer look. If you prefer to spice things up, our Carrera Marble Dinner Plates are super luxe. Or, consider Onyx Earthen China and Noir Matte Black Flatware for a moody modern touch!

Luxe Linens & Seating

Solid foundations are essential for a stylish dinner table. We stock a variety of luxurious linens in an array of colors – blue included! For a modern luxe look, feature bright blue hues such as Ice Blue Poly or Light Blue Pindot. If you prefer a more cozy vibe, consider dark blue linens made of ultra-plush velvet – say a classic Navy Blue or cool London Fog. Just don’t forget napkins! You will also need chairs, which we have a fun selection of. Pair bright fun cocktail tables with Mid-Century White Barstools, for a trendy retro accent. Or go simple and elegant, with our Antique White Bentwood Chairs. Our favorite choice is Acrylic Ghost Armless Chairs. They look like slick ice under the right lighting (don’t worry, they’re much more comfortable)!

Cozy Winter Lounge Areas

Winter events can feel cold without a cozy lounge! We have everything you need to create a stylish space for guests to sit back and relax. Velvet sofas, trendy armchairs, and plush rugs! Start with a focal point, such as a large sofa or loveseat. The Saylor Navy Velvet Sofa is a fan-favorite, as is our Henley Grey Velvet Tufted Sofa. Next, grab a set of stylish chairs, such as the sleek Acrylic Fantasma Side Chairs or retro White Eiffel Arm Chair. Or the accompaniments to the mentioned sofas. You will also need a place for guests to set drinks or appetizers. The Echo Mirror Side Table features bright silver, or opt for the more down-to-earth Wood Distressed Side Table.

Whether you’re planning a large corporate gala, a laid-back office party, or an intimate countdown cocktail hour, we’ve got the rentals to help you ring in the new year in unforgettable style. Think luxe neutral linens, plush retro-inspired lounge furniture, and a bar setup that’s practically made for Insta-worthy sips. Keep reading for ideas on everything from moody metallic tablescapes to cozy lounge setups that invite your guests to sit and stay awhile.

Moody Metallic Tables

Hosting a seated dinner? Set the mood with a bold and modern table design. Black is a natural go-to for New Year’s Eve, but don’t shy away from layering in metallic touches for extra glam. Start with a luxe linen—go solid with our Black tablecloths or add subtle texture with Black Nova. Prefer something warmer? Gold Furrow makes a striking statement.

Build your place settings with our Gold, Silver, or Black Rim Glass Charger and pair them with our stylish Earthen Dinner Plates. For flatware, tie in your metallic theme with Gold Austin, Brooklyn, or Brushed Copper Flatware. Add a fun and modern touch with standout glassware like our Cybil Glasses or Meridian Tumblers in a chic blue hue.

Cozy Countdown Lounge

No New Year’s Eve party is complete without a lounge space. It’s going to be a long night, so give your guests a comfy-chic place to sip, chat, and take it all in. We love the drama of our Regent Black Velvet Sofa paired with Acrylic Ghost Arm Chairs. Add contrast and polish with the Avalon Round Coffee Table or go modular with our Pearce Lounge. It can easily be customized to fit any space or guest count.

Want to dial up the cozy factor? Layer in some textured rugs for warmth and style. And for larger gatherings, don’t forget to sprinkle in a few bistro tables and barstools near the bar. So guests always have a place to perch!

Stylish Bars for Midnight Toasts

Raise a glass in style with a bar setup that’s as functional as it is fabulous. Our Black Franklin Bar is a sleek statement piece. Especially when paired with our Black Bookcase to display bottles or showcase glassware. Opt for elegant Gatsby Champagne Coupes for toasts or the Upton Glassware for a more classic cocktail service. Planning to serve a signature welcome drink? You’ll love our White 6-Tier Serving Tower—it’s perfect for pre-poured bubbly or mocktails.

The holidays always come with a heavy dose of nostalgia, so why not carry this feeling over in your event design? Featuring a mix of the old and new, a modern vintage event is a beautiful balance. The perfect theme when you consider that we are celebrating both the end and beginning of yet another year. Check out our modern vintage rentals below and how they can be used to host a charming holiday party. For more help, take a look at our Holiday Party Planning Tips!

Luxe Linens in Every Shade

Linens are undoubtedly our favorite way to feature color at a holiday event. And for the holidays the options are endless! If you’re looking for linens to complement your modern vintage rentals, consider those that feature a subtle pattern. Our Ivory Pearl Shalimar and Victoria Gold Luxe Linens ooze luxury and would complement any neutral-colored place setting. Meanwhile, a solid shade will look gorgeous with more intricate serving ware. Such as our Scarlet Red Velvet or Magnolia Green Velvet Linens. As always, don’t forget napkins! Contrast a bold or patterned tablecloth with classic white or ivory napkins.

Vintage-Inspired Servingware

There is a charm to vintage-inspired serving ware that is perfect for the holidays! It lends a subtle sense of nostalgia that also happens to perfectly suit a modern vintage theme. Our inventory of servingware includes a range of pieces that can be used to create a stylish holiday tablescape. Either for a casual at-home soiree or for a formal corporate gathering.

To achieve this look you want to find a balance between simple pieces and those with ornate details. For example, pair plain White Round China with a Gold Rim Glass Charger and Abby Flatware. Or, feature a White Round Porcelain Charger with our ornate Ophelia China and modern Gold Austin Flatware. Choosing glassware is especially fun, with options like our Audrey Gold Rim, Monaco, and Pure Glassware.

Cozy Holiday Lounge Areas

Lounging is what you do at holiday parties. Whether you’re in a post-feast coma or simply need somewhere to sit and sip on a tasty seasonal cocktail. We have the perfect modern vintage rentals to create a stunning seating setup, whether you prefer a set of sofas or an armchair or two. Start with a rug featuring a vintage design to frame the space, adding a touch of warmth. Then choose your seating, such as our Fern Velvet and Bennett Leather Sofa. Either of these are stunning with our Bamboo Arm Chairs or White Eiffel Arm Chairs. Finish the look with a set of Gold Hammered Coffee Tables, where guests can set their drinks and appetizers.

The key to throwing a successful holiday party (and not throwing your sanity out of the window) is proper preparation. If you’ve ever hosted a holiday party before, you understand how chaotic planning can be. Even then, you may still feel like you’re scrambling trying to get things done at the last minute. This is why we want to treat you to a stress-free holiday party planning experience. Whether you’re hosting an intimate holiday dinner at home or a large formal gala! Check out our tips below on holiday party must-haves, featuring our stylish rentals. Plus, grab our Holiday Party Checklist that will make it easy to execute a jolly affair!

On-Trend Holiday Office Party

Hosting a holiday party at the office can be limiting, but that doesn’t mean it should be boring. Start by adding some color to the office with festive linens in a brilliant Heritage Cranberry or deep Magnolia Green. If you’re serving food, even just appetizers, pass on the paper plates and opt for Gold Accent China paired with matching Gold Austin Flatware. Finally, serve up a DIY Hot Cocoa or Coffee Bar (don’t forget the Baileys!), with our hot beverage dispensers. Alternatively, treat your team to a casual cocktail hour featuring a formal bar and a menu of seasonal cocktails in fancy glassware!

Casual Holiday Luncheon

When hosting a holiday luncheon, chances are you’ll be inviting co-workers, peers, and people you may want to network with. That’s why you’ll want the event to feel approachable, yet still have a formal holiday vibe. In order to achieve this, you’ll want to have coordinating linens such as our Champagne Sequin Linen, Chafing Dishes, and Copper Beverage Service Equipment – to give your holiday party a festive feel. To make sure guests feel welcome and encouraged to mingle, we also recommend a stylish lounge. Our Fern Velvet Sofa and Bamboo Arm Chairs are a chic set!

Feast at a Festive Gala

The holidays are a great time to celebrate in a big way and a grand gala is just the way to thank VIP clients or your team for all they contribute to your company’s success. If you’re hosting a large formal company holiday party, there are a few items you’ll want to make sure you include. Cocktail and bistro tables are a must for mingling and should be decked out with luxe linens, say Etched Velvet or a shimmery Satin. Then there is the bar, where guests can enjoy their favorite seasonal drinks, from a Hot Toddy to spiked cocoa. We also recommend having formal place settings with china, chargers, and plenty of glassware for toasting the year past and ahead.

At-Home Holiday Soriee

Cozy home holiday parties are a wonderful and intimate way to share seasonal good tidings with family and friends. But these gatherings can stretch the limits of anyone’s kitchen! Whether you need extra plates or forks, serving dishes and platters, or flutes for toasting, we have it all. We even offer a selection of curated rentals, Styled by Southern, packed with all the essentials for creating a stylish holiday tablescape – like the ice-inspired Silver Soiree! We can also elevate your seating, with our Adeline or Harlin Dining Chairs. As always, we’re glad to schedule a delivery or pick-up at our Franklin warehouse.

There is a certain charm to spaces where old meets new. And this style is particularly popular in Downtown Nashville, where event venues are rich with history and the original architecture is celebrated. As is the case with The Clementine! A spacious event hall, it was redesigned and rebuilt in 2018. Despite the recent renovations, however, its design remains true to its origins. Urban yet elegant, it is a versatile space in which couples can pull off the celebration of their dreams. To help you determine whether this venue aligns with your vision, we’re sharing a few ideas for hosting a wedding at The Clementine, featuring our trendy event rentals.

Say “I Do” at Adelaide Hall

An original 1889 church sanctuary, Adelaide Hall is the largest of Clementine’s spaces. Soaring wood beam ceilings, brick walls, hickory floors, massive mid-century chandeliers, and blown glass and steel gothic windows make a statement in this stunning space. Their famous pipe organ is perfect for a sweet ceremony. Decorate the stage with florals or a Wrought Iron Arch in front of the organ. Or use our Chuppah with drapery to soften the space. For ceremony seating, our classic Black Fruitwood Folding Chairs will offer some contrast. While our Davis Glass Cylinders will add a touch of modern elegance to the aisle. Alternatively, feature our Acrylic Ghost Armless Chairs and layered vintage or cowhide rugs to create a chic contemporary look.

Host an Elegant Urban Reception

Following a ceremony, Adelaide Hall can be quickly flipped for an equally elegant reception. The urban event space is a gorgeous backdrop for a seated dinner. Whether you prefer to feature our round or rectangle Farm Wood Tables. Here you can pull off a timeless neutral palette, to complement the warm-toned walls and floors. Or, incorporate fun pops of color, via luxe linens and stylish serving ware.

At 2,400 square feet, there is plenty of space for catering and white dance floor (with your monogram, of course!). Unless you’d prefer to let the natural wood floors shine! In addition to the beautiful pipe organ, other key areas are the venue’s two stages. Each feature concert-quality audio, video, and decorative LED lighting round things out. Making Clementine an ideal wedding venue if you have plans for live entertainment or a band.

An Intimate Cocktail Hour

What’s better than a venue with a dedicated social space? The Little Bird Lounge features built-in bistro tables and an elegant 20-foot marble bar. Perfect for a casual cocktail hour! An irregularly shaped room with original brickwork and arched windows, it’s a memorable backdrop for a wedding lounge. More specifically, the Pearce Lounge Furniture — a modular sofa easily manipulated to fit within any space. It pairs beautifully with our Gold Hammered Coffee Table.

When the weather is nice, take advantage of their Brash Courtyard, easily accessed through the lounge. Outfit the concrete-walled patio with trendy bistro tables and chairs. Such as our Acrylic Casper Square Back Barstool or Mid Century White Barstool. For an extra luxe look, be sure to grab a set of our Velvet Linens! They look especially charming during the fall, when the surrounding foliage is at its peak.

Who doesn’t love a fabulous brunch?! Maybe that is why more than ever, people are centering their celebrations around this popular mealtime. From baby showers to bridal showers and weddings, brunch is a memorable way to mark a milestone. As well as a good excuse to break out the bubbles! The garden at CJ’s Off the Square has all the inspiration needed for hosting a sweet southern brunch party, featuring vintage-inspired rentals and classic serving ware pieces.

Set the Scene

If you’ve ever enjoyed brunch then you know that the goal is to create a setting that is sophisticated yet casual. A space where people feel special, enjoying a decadent meal. With this in mind, your tablescape is key. We love starting off with tables dressed in bright linens, such as Blush Shimmer. For a fun extra layer, top it off with a textured runner or overlay. For seating, our Acrylic Carrigan Side Chair will bring a modern contemporary touch – as will any of our acrylic seating options.

As with any brunch, fresh floral centerpieces are required! Place bright or neutral-colored blooms in our elegant Square Glass Vases. If you’re hosting a large party, it doesn’t hurt to throw a few bistro tables into the mix!

Then Set the Table!

Of course, the real star of a southern brunch party is the food! For which you’ll need to create an impressive tablescape. One of our favorite ways to create a memorable table is by featuring serving ware with textures. Start with our White Wash Rattan Charger, stacked with our dainty Darcy China and Darcy Bone China Charger. These pieces are the perfect combination of old and new! Pair it with our Abby Flatware, or Austin Flateware if you prefer gold.

To complete the place setting you’ll also need glassware, for a variety of popular brunch-themed beverages. A water goblet is always essential, and our Hob Nob Goblet is a stunner. It also pairs beautifully with our Heirloom Tea Cups and Saucers, for a quaint vintage touch for serving hot coffee or tea. For an especially well-thought-out table, you might also feature a Silver Coffee/Tea Server. Along with a matching Carson Silver Cream and Sugar Set, it will be a fun classically southern detail.

Create a Chic Lounge

It’s not brunch without mimosas! Creating cozy spaces to sit and sip will ensure that they feel comfortable enough to linger and mingle. A lounge will also be a comfortable and photo-ready spot for opening gifts. Our Everly Sofa and Chair are a beautiful pair – not to mention incredibly comfy! If you need extra seating, add in our Winstead Grey Tufted Bench. You’ll also want a place where people can set their drinks, like our Cheval Gold Mirror Side Table. Or our larger Blanche Coffee Table.

Speaking of drinks, another round of glassware is a must. Serve up mimosas in our Pure Champagne Flutes displayed on the White Barback Shelf for a stunning presentation. Provide a variety of fresh fruit juices in carafes, along with seasonal fruits and cheese on silver serving platters. Sparkling water is also a great option to have on hand for a mom-to-be, or kiddos in tow!

A special thank you to Jenna Henderson for sharing these event images with us!

Team Southern recently had the opportunity to collaborate with local vendors on a whimsical styled shoot at The Cordelle. An event venue & garden situated in Downtown Nashville, it was a stunning backdrop for the colorful outdoor wedding. With a mix of historic and modern spaces, featuring grandeur and charm, there was no shortage of room to create a functional and on-trend wedding layout. Check out the details from this dreamy garden-inspired wedding, featuring our stylish event rentals.

Seating for a Whimsical Indoor Ceremony

The ceremony took place in The Victorian, featuring brick walls, hardwood floors, and beautiful floor-to-ceiling windows. Contrasting the urban event space, we opted for our elegant Harlin Dining Chairs. Featuring light wood and detailed backs, they were the perfect choice for the dreamy indoor ceremony. An equally gorgeous alternative would have been our Adeline Dining Chairs! While we decided to keep the aisle bare, featuring a mix of our vintage rugs would have also been a beautiful choice, lending a cozy vibe.

A Dreamy Outdoor Reception Set Up

Meanwhile, the 5,000-square-foot Garden Lawn created an ethereal garden reception. The manicured lawn and bistro lights overhead made for a charming outdoor setup – especially come nightfall. Our Fruitwood Farm Tables and Harlin Dining Chairs were the base for the guest tables. This banquet style is perfect if you want a more intimate feel! Set with Heirloom China, Hob Nob Glassware, and Sophia Flatware, the look was elegant and vintage-inspired. Fun fresh florals and Turqouise Poly Napkins provided a punch of color, fitting for the season! Our Davis Glass Cylinders filled in the table centerpieces.

Blue-Hued Wedding Lounge

Eventually, The Victorian was flipped into a cozy cocktail area. Contrasting the warm-toned space, we chose our always popular Saylor Navy Velvet Sofa and Chair. It paired beautifully with a bright Aqua Rug and modern Rhodes Coffee Table. To optimize the space were a handful of cocktail tables – dressed up with deep black linen. Combining with the whimsical florals, it was a perfect cocktail hour set up for the colorful garden wedding.

On-Theme Wedding Cocktails

To match the colorful event design, equally bold wedding cocktails were required! J Jackson Mobile Mixologist served up a variety of delicious colorful cocktails in our Davis and Coupe Glasses. We chose these pieces for their clean shape, contrasting the vintage-inspired Hob Nob Glassware used at each table. We also loved the fun colors of the beverages as well as edible florals!
