Organizing an event requires meticulous planning and attention to detail. One crucial aspect that can significantly impact the overall aesthetics and comfort of your gathering is the choice of tables and chairs for your event. At Southern Events Online, we understand the importance of creating an atmosphere that aligns with your style or theme. Whether you’re aiming for a modern rustic feel, contemporary elegance, classic sophistication, or a touch of whimsy, our in-stock tables and chairs are designed to complement and enhance the ambiance of any occasion.

Wood Event Furniture

Modern rustic has been the go-to for an elegant yet down-to-earth look. A feat that is easy to achieve with our Fruitwood Farm Tables and Cross-back Chairs. If you’re dreaming of a more sophisticated vibe, our modern Farm tables are available in two shades: Aged Oak and Antique White. Both of these pair beautifully with the Adeline and Harlin dining chairs featuring sturdy backs. For a playful touch of color, consider our Antique White Bentwood or Black Willow Chairs. While we discourage covering up a stunning wood tabletop, a soft runner like the Sahara Table Runners in rich shades of Rust or Indigo can add an extra layer of charm.

Contemporary Acrylic Rentals

Acrylic is having its moment, and Southern Events Online is on board! Our Acrylic Ghost Arm and Armless Chairs are the go-to for a minimalist look that can be contrasted with rich linens or complemented with a neutral scheme. Available as barstools with Round and Square Backs, they are perfect for a quaint cocktail hour. The Acrylic Carrigan Side Chair offers a more ethereal design, fitting for a whimsical garden party, while the eccentrically named Acrylic Fantasma Side Chair is an eye-catching piece that can elevate any event.

Chiavari Chairs for Rent

Remaining a fan favorite, Chiavari Chairs are the epitome of classic elegance. Simple in design, they exude luxury and are available in four beautiful shades. Gold is a popular choice for grand affairs, like corporate celebrations hosted in a ballroom. While Black is more popular for urban events, such as weddings at The Clementine or The Ruby in Nashville. White will lend a more airy look, however, don’t underestimate dark Fruitwood. It is an understated color that will elevate any casual outdoor gathering.

Specialty Tables & Chairs

These rentals fall into a category of their own! The Palmer Bistro Tables and Chairs, made of light wood with intricate details, bring a coastal but luxe vibe. For outright glam, the Charleston Bistro Table with a Marble Top pairs perfectly with Gold Chiavari Barstools. The Loren Gold Bistro Tables are a comfortable choice for larger parties and exude sophistication, especially when paired with Acrylic Ghost Barstools. Or, consider our Mid Century Barstools for a stylish nod to times past when featuring cocktail tables with linens.

Children’s Party Furniture

Hosting a children’s party? Size-appropriate furniture goes a long way to ensure comfort and inclusivity. Our Fruitwood Farm Tables and Cross-Back Chairs are also available in a size to accommodate children, ensuring a cohesive event. Along with classic White Resin Folding Chairs. For children, our Chiavari Chairs come in Pastel Pink and Clear Acrylic, adding fun colors to any celebration. Or take your event to the next level with Gold Bow Children’s Chairs. These will offer a chic look whether you’re hosting a lavish garden party or a space adventure.

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!

Associated with contemporary art, acrylic is making its way into modern event design. Now used in an array of furniture designs, it is a unique addition to any event. The most popular use, however, is in chairs! Typically referred to as ‘ghost chairs’, this style is a fun modern twist that can be pulled off year-round. Keep reading to check out our in-stock acrylic chairs. Plus, learn how to feature these pieces at your upcoming event.

On-Trend Ceremony Seating

If you want to wow guests from the moment they enter your wedding event space, then go with acrylic chairs! Acrylic seating is a simple way to elevate your event, regardless of your style or theme. Our most popular chairs for wedding ceremonies are our Acrylic Ghost Arm Chair and Acrylic Ghost Armless Chair. The oval shape of the back of these chairs will lend a sophisticated look that will complement any venue, modern, urban or outdoor. This style is also easy to decorate with ribbon or vinyl applique across the back.

Timeless Reception Tables

Our favorite way to feature acrylic chairs is at receptions, whether it be a wedding, corporate event, or personal gathering. This style of chair will complement any table, such as our Fruitwood Farm Tables, or linens. When choosing the style of seating, we recommend considering your event theme. If you are hosting a minimalist or modern event, either of our Ghost Chairs will do the job. For a more romantic or whimsical theme, we prefer the Acrylic Carrigan Side Chair, due to the intricate back. If you want something otherworldly or ethereal, the Acrylic Fantasma Side Chair is an easy choice.

Pro Tip: Planning to have designated tables for children? Be sure to grab a handful of our Acrylic Chiavari Children’s Chairs.

Modern Cocktail Hours

We can’t forget the cocktail hour setup! Big or small, a memorable cocktail hour calls for stylish and comfortable seating, with ample space for guests to sit and mingle. If you are planning to feature a lounge, any of our acrylic chairs make for beautiful add-ons. And these chairs are extremely comfortable, too! For a lounge, we recommend seating with arms. Whereas at cocktail tables or bar tables, arms aren’t necessary. These areas will work well with our armless, or backless, styles. Such as the Acrylic Ghost Barstool, Acrylic Casper Oval Back Barstool, or Acrylic Casper Square Back Barstool.

Our acrylic chairs book up fast! To feature any of these pieces at an upcoming event, send our team a message at info@southerneventsonline.com. For more modern event design inspiration, check out our blog on Modern Minimalist Event Design.

Our team at Southern Events Party Rental Company loved lending our distinct event rentals to help Nashville’s own Premier | The Entertainment Company showcase their available and upcoming services. Hosted at Eugenia Hall, this intimate, invitation-only event for local event and wedding planners was an all-out Nashville good time!

We created an ultra-modern aesthetic that emulated Premier’s cutting-edge entertainment services. This reception style event was the perfect place to show of some of our new modern lounge pieces and acrylic chairs. These sleek but comfortable pieces are the perfect way to instantly transform any venue into a modern and chic space!

In the lounge, we paired our delightfully whimsical Acrylic Fantasma Side Chairs with our Echo Silver Mirror Side Tables for a luxe modern look. Our cozy London Loveseats, decked out with textured throw pillows, added more comfortable seating for guests as they explored Premier’s sound and entertainment offerings. We created a complementary but separate bar space nearby with our Acrylic Casper Oval Back Barstool and Jackson Silver Bistro Tables – perfect for creating a visually arresting and inviting seating area. Industry professionals sipped craft cocktails prepared by local mixologist J.Jackson and enjoyed gourmet hors d’oeuvres prepared by Dream Events & Catering.

We loved rocking out with our fellow Nashville event professionals! Huge thanks to Courtney Davidson for the photos!
