When it comes to event decor, table linens are a stylish way to dress up your event. Although simple, they are effective thanks to the wide variety of colors and materials, which contribute to the overall event design. Currently, we’ve been loving textured linens, from chic runners to velvet napkins. Get ideas on how to elevate your event tables when you feature a set of our on-trend textured linens!

Texture Table Runners

If you are featuring tables with an attractive top, then you won’t want to cover it up! Gauze runners are a stylish way to feature some contrasting texture, while still showing off the existing tabletop. Perfect for our Farm Tables! Our Sahara Runners pair beautifully with the wood finish, and are available in three stunning colors. Ivory and Natural are ideal for a modern minimal tablescape. Meanwhile, Rose will lend a fun pop of color! Our Chiffon Runners, available in Rose, Dove Grey or White lend to a more romantic feel. Want a more glam accent? Take a look at our Sequin Table Runners!

Sophisticated Linens

Dreaming of natural but sophisticated event tables? You can’t beat our Kennedy Linens! These linen-style tablecloths and napkins are lightweight, soft, with an organic texture. They are perfect for warmer months of the year as they are slightly sheer, lending a laid-back look. Not to mention they are available in a range of neutral and dusty colors, fitting for a modern event table! Some of our current favorites include Cactus, Fawn and Topaz.

Luxe Linens

The latest and greatest fad in event linen rentals is velvet! Velvet linens create a rich, yet seasonless texture for your tables. And they are available in a huge array of gorgeous colors, making them fitting for a variety of event styles. A few of our current favorites include Fern, London Fog, and Rose. For an especially sophisticated look, check out our etched velvet linens featuring metallic accents – a fun option for cocktail tables. Or your cake table! If you want to switch things up a little, consider topping velvet table linens with satin napkins! A buttery texture with a soft sheen, they will make for an extra romantic tablescape.

Garden weddings are popular themes, especially during the warmer months of the year. As we sit and dream with couples, we hear their love for the romantic feel this theme offers. Over the years, we’ve had the privilege of seeing garden weddings come together in a myriad of ways, and we have fallen head over heels for the whimsical palettes and charming event design. Keep reading to get inspired by our take on the modern garden wedding, featuring sleek and sophisticated rentals that make for an incredibly chic celebration!

Sleek and Chic Tables

This modern take on garden weddings can be achieved by bringing in bright rentals featuring geometric shapes that contrast dramatically with the freeform nature of, well, nature. Outfit your tables in colorful linens that will POP against a lush garden setting. For balance, feature our Harlin Dining Chairs or Cross-Back Chairs, made of natural wood. If you prefer an equally romantic but vintage-inspired look, consider our Antique White Bentwood Chairs.

Dreamy Velvet Details

Masculine elements, such as monochromatic color schemes contrast beautifully against soft florals and greenery. All white or all black furniture against a dreamy, floral aesthetic is both masculine and modern! Although, we’re still a fan of lighter palettes that complement whimsical florals. You can achieve a luxe but chic look by featuring textured details, namely in the form of velvet linens! Some of our current favorite colors include bold blue hues and romantic pinks and purples!

Elegant Social Areas

When hosting an event outdoors you tend to have more area to fill – in which case there is no reason not to have a cocktail lounge! Something simple yet elegant and cozy where guests can enjoy a drink and socialize. Take a look at our curated lounge packages, or mix and match our pieces to make your own. Our Bennett Leather Sofa and Adeline Dining Chairs are a fine pair, especially when complemented by a set of Chocolate Poufs and stylish accent tables. Meanwhile a rug will help frame the space!

Modern Industrial Reception Tables

As far as receptions go, an elegant urban design is a great option for couples who prefer a romantic yet modern space. The classic elements and rich linens in the industrial venue only need the glow of candlelight. Mixing textures and keeping the colors neutral with a few pops of color creates a timeless event design.

For this style shoot, we featured two different styles of tables and place settings, one leaning towards a more industrial look and the other more modern. The industrial table started with our Fruitwood Farm Tables, complemented with contrasting Rattan White Washed Chargers and crisp white Darcy China. Round tables were outfitted with Velvet Driftwood Tablecloths, Scalloped Wood Chargers, and Artisan China. Bold pink napkins and sleek Brushed Copper Flatware were used for both tables!

Of course, we can’t forget a sweetheart table for the newlyweds, featuring especially elegant place settings. These stood out thanks to the Copper Glass Charger and Blair Geometric China. Whereas Tawny Satin Napkins and an Ivory Sahara Table Runner lent a romantic touch! The bride and groom sat comfortably on one of our most popular lounge pieces, the Tessa Tufted Linen Loveseat.

Classic + Elegant Wedding Lounge Area

With the open floor plan, there was no reason not to have a stylish lounge area for guests to convene around! This setup was elegantly modern with a timeless feel. It starred our Everly Sofa and matching chairs, along with the Blanche Coffee Table and Cheval Gold Mirror Side Tables. The metallic gold elevated this area, whereas a vintage Blush Rug kept the vibe cozy.

A special thank you to Wind and Gold Photography for sharing the photos from this event with us!

When hosting a backyard party we like to go big! And that starts with creating memorable tablescapes at which people can gather to dine and socialize. The foundation of which are your linens, which set the stage for your event design. Today we’re sharing our luxe event linens that will elevate your outdoor celebrations in Nashville. Keep reading to learn about our in-stock rentals, available in a range of on-trend colors and high-end materials.

On Trend Colors

By far the easiest way to choose the best linens for your event tables is considering color. For a backyard party, we recommend one of two options. First, go bold with striking color! In the spring, we love soft pastels that pop against a lush natural setting – say pink or purple. Although dusty hues, like blue, can be equally beautiful. Second, keep it natural! Opting for colors that complement an outdoor space is an easy way to achieve a timeless look. Consider a crisp white or light shades of brown, like driftwood or taupe. More recently greens have been a hit, in sage and moss.

Luxurious Materials

In addition to colors, the type of materials you feature can help set the tone for your event. Our selection of luxe event linens includes a range of materials, from soft velvets to buttery satin and more! Here are just a few of our current favorites!

Velvet Event Linens

Velvet linens are the latest and greatest fad in event linen rentals. Largely because it is a simple yet effective way to feature texture at your tables. And it’s available in a huge array of gorgeous colors! For a backyard gathering, we recommend bright colors like Light Pink, Sea Glass, or Fern Velvet. Or, for an especially sophisticated look, opt for one of our etched designs featuring metallic accents. Such as Dusty Blue Etched Velvet or White Etched Velvet.

Satin Linens

Satin linens are a more classic option for tablecloths, but a modern option thanks to the wide range of colors available! The buttery material is light yet has a slight sheen that oozes luxury. During the spring, it is one of our favorite choices – and it will be yours too if you have an appreciation for pastels. Consider colors like Wisteria, Mint, Mediterranean, and Wheat.

Kennedy Linens

With their gorgeous texture, Kennedy Linens are one of our favorite tablecloths for a backyard party. Lightweight and with a natural feel, it is one of the best choices if you’re hosting a laid-back event with an upscale and airy vibe. It comes in a range of natural colors, including Cactus, Fawn, Topaz, and White. Make sure to grab matching napkins – but in a different color!

Patterns & Prints

Want a more bold yet still luxurious table? Be sure to take a look at our inventory of miscellaneous linens! There you’ll find unique patterns and prints like our elegant Gold Furrow and Gold Aurora Linens.

In a post-pandemic world, the health and happiness of employees is a priority for many companies and business owners. A focus that your team and attendees will appreciate, especially during a conference, convention or corporate summit. Today we’ll share how you can create corporate wellness rooms to help maintain positive and motivated participants!

Create an Ambient Setting

The first step you’ll want to take when creating corporate wellness rooms is selecting a designated area or areas within your event space. We recommend selecting an area that is a ways away from the primary room in use so that your guests can fully escape the hustle and bustle – whether you are hosting a training session or an annual meeting. Once established, pipe and drape can be used to enclose a space. This will help create a more private and ambient setting, in which guests can sit back, relax, and recharge. Choose from a range of beautiful and calming colors, such as black, ivory and white. If you like, you can even designate this area as a quiet or non-tech space!

Lounge Areas

Within your wellness room, you’ll want some comforts that encourage guests to sit and stay for a while. Specifically, lounge areas where people can casually converse or even meditate for a time. Start with cozy neutral or warm colored furniture, like our Bennett Leather Sofa or Henley Grey Velvet Tufted Sofa. Pair it with a set of accent chairs, like our beautiful Gloria Velvet Arm Chairs. Then, finish it off with a plush area rug and a set of matching coffee and side tables. Avoid any pieces that are too contemporary and might give off a cold feeling! Of course, you can also choose from our selection of beautiful lounge packages (we recommend #03 or #26). If you prefer, you can also create smaller areas using our bistro tables and bistro chairs.

Food & Beverage Stations

In addition to helping your guests relax you also want to help them recharge. A scrumptious food and beverage station will help keep them satiated and in tune for a long day of meetings or workshops. Start with an elegant display shelf, like our Black Bar Back Shelf – to store a selection of simple water goblets or other glassware. Nearby, keep refreshing cucumber water or similar beverages in a Glass Beverage Jar. Display snack foods, like fresh fruit or vegetables, in our white family-style service pieces for light on-the-go bites. Accompanied by simple white china! If you’ve been approved for alcoholic beverages, a stylish and well-stocked bar never hurt either.

Starring luxurious metals, intricate patterns, and opulent colors, this style is a surefire way to achieve a memorable yet timeless event. It’s a gorgeous option for a wide variety of gatherings, including corporate events, such as galas and fundraisers, as well as weddings and personal parties.

Regal Event Linens

Let’s start by putting together a place setting fitting for a queen! Depending on the table featured at your event, you may want linens. The exception being tables with natural wood tabletops, like or Fruitwood Farm Table, which you’ll want to show off.

As of late any of our velvet linens have been a hit, as the plush materials is effective at lending a regal look to any tablescape. You can’t go wrong with neutral colors, such as black, white or taupe. Although, rich colors will contrast beautifully with metallic accents. Our current favorites include Magnolia Green and Navy Blue! However, if you want a tablescape that looks like it came straight from the Regency Era, consider our Gold & Ivory Fresco, Blue Kensington, or Ivory Pearl Shalimar Linens.

Opulent China

By far our most popular china for a luxe event is our Athena China, with its sleek gold border. For an especially regal look, consider or Ophelia or Hamlet China, with their more intricate designs. All of these pieces pair well with any of our glass chargers – elegant pieces that don’t take away from the fabulous gold accented china. We have a variety of options depending on your color scheme or style, including glass chargers with black, gold, silver, and even a beaded rim.

For flatware, we recommend either our beautiful Fresno or Abby Flatware. The Gold Matte color and bulky shape of Fresno will lend a big statement. Meanwhile, the dainty Abby Flatware is luxe yet understated. A better option if your china and charger is bold!

Luxe Barware

Every social event requires a bar and fresh beverages! Make sure you serve your drinks in glassware that suits your regal theme. Our Audrey Glassware is a dainty but timeless option, featuring a sleek design and luxe gold rim. Meanwhile, our Monaco Glassware has an intricate design that is sure to ‘wow’ your guests.

If you love event design that is creative and confident, then you’ll fall head over heels for the 2022 Pantone Color of the Year, Very Peri! A soft blue with violet-red undertones, PANTONE 17-3938 Very Peri is described to have a “spritely, joyous attitude and dynamic presence”. And for a year where event trends include vintage-inspiration and luxe details, what color could be better? To help you plan an a memorable and photo-worthy event, get inspired by event design incorporating Pantone’s color of the year.

Whimsical Event Design

By far our favorite aspect of this color of the year is the whimsy that it lends to an event! A unique mix of blue and purple, Very Peri oozes youthful luxury.

For example, complement any dining table with our classic Antique White Bentwood Chairs. Or create a contemporary twist with any of our on-trend acrylic chairs, such as the Carrigan Side Chair.
