Winter may be in full swing, but that’s no excuse to halt the jubilations! In fact, it’s the perfect time to gather, to reap the warmth provided by the love of family and friends. To help you host a memorable get-together, Southern stocks a range of cozy event rentals that will encourage guests to sit, sip, and soak it all in. Take a look at some of our favorite winter party rentals, from plush lounge furniture to luxe linens, perfect for hosting a cozy seasonally-inspired celebration.

Plush Velvet Lounge Areas

If there is one essential for a chilly winter party, it’s a cozy lounge area – maybe two! Indoor or outdoor, your guests will want a plush place to sit back, relax, and mingle. Even more so if you have plans for a well-stocked bar. We offer a range of gorgeous furniture pieces that you can mix and match to create a stunning lounge. Our Fern Velvet Sofa or Henley Grey Velvet Tufted Sofa are elegant pieces, which can be paired with a set of loveseats or armchairs. Popular choices include our Gold Bamboo and White Eiffel Arm Chairs. Both of which offer an on-trend modern retro look. Or, consider the bright white Estelle Quarter-Round Sofa, perfect for a long night of mingling. Just don’t forget to grab one of our beautiful vintage rugs to frame the space and add a little extra warmth!

Glittering Metallic Holiday Tablescapes

When it comes to winter event tables, the most popular choice for serving ware are pieces that star metallic accents. Such as our Glass Charger with Gold Rim, Austin Gold Flatware, and Celia Gold Rim Glassware. To help warm up your table and create a more welcoming or cozy look, we recommend adding a splash of colors and textures. Start with elegant linens in a warm color, like Moss Green Crush or Havana Ecru. Velvet napkins are an easy way to add a fun pop of color, as well as a soft subtle texture. Opt for our elegant White Etched Velvet or a brilliant Navy Blue that nods to the icy hue of the season. If your plates or serving ware feature metallics, sub traditional glassware for colored tumblers or water goblets. Such as the Meridian Blue or Smoke Beaded Glassware.

Create a Toasty Place to Gather

Hosting a gathering at home or the office but feeling limited on space? We offer a variety of winter party tent rentals that will allow you to create an ultra-cozy covered space for parties of every size. Our Ready-to-Party tent packages are a convenient solution, with all the essentials for between 30 to 75 guests. After you’ve secured a tent, customize the space with heating solutions to stave off the cold. We stock a Blowing-Style Heater to warm up any size tent, as well as a Hammered Rectangular Fire Pit. It is the perfect choice for creating a cozy area to lounge around or toast marshmallows. Surround it with any of our plush ottomans, such as Chocolate Poufs or Turkish Rug Ottoman, as well as pillows and blankets. Should you desire extra warmth, treat your guests to hot beverages when you feature our Market Cart with dispensers.

Functional and stylish rentals, Southern Events offers a range of area rugs for events & weddings. Although simple, a beautiful decorative rug will lend to an all-around cohesive event space. Whether they are used to line an aisleway or placed beneath the featured furniture. You go to major lengths to decorate and furnish the space in a way that aligns with your event, and the floor is the foundation! Take a look at our in-stock area rugs and how you can feature one or several at your upcoming Nashville event.

Tie it All Together

Area rugs are more than just decoration. Take for example the use of layered rugs as an aisle runner. Our Brown & White Cowhide Rug and Dark Brown Cowhide Rug are perfect for a trendy urban desert wedding ceremony. Meanwhile, our vintage-inspired rugs look stunning for a cozy, boho-themed affair. Feel free to layer them up or use one standalone alongside a ceremony backdrop.

Frame a Space

Rugs assist in creating a frame in which to place the furniture. A trick that is especially useful for social areas, like a cocktail lounge. Consider using a rug to lead guests from the bar to a lounge area. It will help prevent your guests from huddling around the bar and encourage them to sit down, get comfortable, and stay for a while. See how our clients have used a range of area rugs for events & weddings, including our Navy and Aqua Rugs.

A Cohesive Design

Similar to cocktail lounges, rugs can be placed beneath standalone furniture to help create a more cohesive aesthetic. Without one, it can feel as though your furniture may float away! A rug can also help tie different areas together that would otherwise look out of place. Featured below, our vintage Blue-Red Rugs were used to accent a whiskey-barrel bar and create a charming buffet area. And to create a stylish outdoor cocktail area, it was placed beneath our Loren Gold Bistro Table.

Rugs

Area rugs help define a space, and can make a bold statement or fade into the background while providing a visual marker. Our cowhide rugs and area rugs are perfect for adding to a living room or dining room, warming up a space or defining where one part of the home ends and another begins.
