Southern Inspiration: Nashville Themed Outdoor PartySouthern Events Products, Trends and Inspiration |

Many of us spend our days inside, hunched over a computer. Throwing outdoor parties makes for a welcome change of pace, especially when the weather is warm! Imagine an event spent under the night sky, with music in the air and a refreshing cocktail in hand. Yep, that sounds like a Nashville-themed outdoor party to us! If this has you feeling inspired, keep reading for a curated list of outdoor party rentals for your Music City gathering!
Indoor to Outdoor Spaces
Hosting a comfortable backyard party is all about knowing how to make the most of a space! Utilizing both indoor and outdoor areas will allow more room for guests to mingle. Consider setting up different social areas where guests can move to and from to interact with others. Outdoors, create a cozy space with our Sutton Lounge Collection and Navy Rug. On a patio or covered terrace, set up a handful of stylish bistro tables outfitted with any of our luxe linens linens – Kennedy looks great no matter the weather!

Delightful Drinks
A well-planned Nashville Themed outdoor party is likely to include refreshing cocktails. And in Nashville, you’ll most definitely find bourbon! Having the right outdoor bar set up that is both functional and stylish is vital for a successful outdoor party. For a more intimate gathering or Gold Bar Cart is an elegant piece. But for a sizeable crowd, feature any of our rustic-inspired bars. Such as our Antique White Franklin Bar or Whiskey Barrel Barnwood Bar! Of course, don’t forget to keep it stocked with elegant glassware, like our classic Monaco Rock Glasses.

Interactive Areas
Fire pits just burn with ambiance! Guests love to gather around our Stone Round Fire Pit to perch on Rustic Benches or Chocolate Poufs. Oh, and speaking of ambiance, our Assorted Oversized Lanterns look darling placed near lounging areas and tables. All the while providing extra lights to keep guests safe. To dress up your seating, and keep guests cozy, we recommend that you feature throw pillows and blankets. Just don’t forget to pack the s’mores!

On Trend: Backyard Alfresco DiningOn Trend, Southern Events Products, Trends and Inspiration |

When the weather is nice, why not enjoy dinner with your family and friends outside? Come spring and summer in Tennessee, there is nothing better than dining in the fresh air, with a cold cocktail in hand. Get inspired for backyard alfresco dining with our stylish in-stock serving ware.
Vibrant Cherry Red & Teal
To complement the colors of the season, we love a vibrant tablescape. This design features cherry red and teal, for a look that is classically southern. Our warm fruitwood farm table acts as a base for White Square China, Navy Blue Velvet napkins, and Pure Glassware. A cool-toned, Dove Grey runner lends another hint of blue to the table. Meanwhile, our Brushed Copper Flatware and Audrey Gold Rim Glassware bring a touch of glam via metallics.
Natural Lime & Lemon
Sometimes less is more! For this natural table design, fresh citrus and fruit was the star of the show. Atop Heritage Ivory Linens, we placed our simple Artisan China and Wood Round Charger, complemented by Brushed Copper Flatware. The centerpieces consisted of fresh greenery and citrus, which were perfect for the lush lawn setting. To tie some greenery into the tablescape, we opted for our favorite fern velvet napkins. This design is ideal for a bright mid-morning brunch or afternoon cocktail hour!
Rustic Farm-to-Table
When you want a casual yet put-together look, opt for a farm-to-table design. This simple tablescape features our Artisan China, Sophia Flatware, and Madison Glassware. Despite the minimal serving ware and linens, what truly makes this layout is the table and chairs. Take our Cross-back chairs, which are plain yet oh so elegant. For a pop of color, you might consider brightly-colored napkins or a table runner. Perhaps in our Cornsilk Poly or Peaches n’ Cream Poly.
Bold Black & Gold
Black and gold are a classic pairing and surefire way to make a statement. This luxe and bold backyard alfresco dining table showcase a mix of moody hues, including black, gold, and a variety of red shades. For the serving ware, we opted for our Austin Flatware, Medallion Gold Glass Charger, and Madison Glassware. What amplifies this tablescape is the balance from glam elements, such as the gold and acrylic details. Take for example our always popular Acrylic Ghost Chairs! If you prefer an equally colorful but bright style, take a look at this colorful backyard party.
Classic Cookout
There is something so charming about gingham, and this backyard cookout-inspired table just does it for us. It was created using our Onyx China and silver Sophia Flatware. The true black plates are an easy way to bring the fun gingham tablecloth back down to earth. Yet super cute coke bottle centerpieces and our contemporary Davis Glassware keep the overall vibe light. For a look that is slightly more toned down, switch out this tablecloth for a solid or neutral color.

Metallic Place Settings
An easy way to add warmth to a colorful backyard event is with gold or silver accents. Featuring our Gold Round Lacquer Charger and Austin Flatware, adds a touch of metallics that contrasts beautifully against turquoise centerpieces. It also complements the golden yellows and sunset-inspired oranges throughout the event design. Don’t forget to pull these accents into other parts of your events with gold-rimmed glasses on your bar or gold side tables in your lounge. This creates a more cohesive look.
Bold Centerpieces
When it comes to table centerpieces people often feel the need to use matching pieces. A colorful backyard party is a perfect time to experiment with creative shapes and colors. This tablescape features a mix of vases, in teal, white, gold and clear glass – easy for a DIY backyard party. For candles, we suggest varying heights to add some dimension (though you can also create this with taller arrangements). As far as flowers go, consider keeping it simple but bright with a variety of wildflowers. Orange & yellow tones perfectly contrasted and popped against the teal and white glassware!
Vibrant Linens
Vibrant linens are so much fun! The use of bright colors will lend a sense of liveliness to your event, plus make your event photos pop. Don’t be afraid to use different linens for each table either! Note how we were careful to switch up the color of our table centerpieces depending on the linen color. As a general rule: place lighter colored centerpieces on dark tablecloths and vice versa. Our Fuschia Etched Velvet Linens with their gold veining would be a another way to bring in a subtle metallic accent and a bold pop of color.
