Trends and Inspiration

Supporting image

When it comes to event design, staying on-trend is essential to creating a memorable experience. One design trend that continues to captivate event planners and guests is the use of all-black event decor! This bold choice can transform any celebration into a sophisticated affair. At Southern Events, we believe in pushing the boundaries of event design, and the all-black trend is no exception. From luxurious weddings to elegant corporate soirees, let’s explore how all-black event design is stealing the spotlight.

All-Black Event Designs Fits the Bill

Don’t be fooled! All-black event design is a versatile look fitting for any celebration. Whether the affair is formal or casual, this color scheme offers a timeless and elegant ambiance. Imagine a luxurious wedding or all-black dinner party with a touch of gold accents. Where the contrast between the black backdrop and glistening gold creates a stunning visual effect. For those seeking an edgier vibe, picture an urban soiree in the heart of Downtown Nashville. The all-black decor will blend with the city’s contemporary atmosphere, creating an event that is trendy and chic. And let’s not forget about corporate events! Whether it’s a high-profile fundraiser or an elegant gala, an all-black formal event design will lend to an atmosphere of understated luxury.

Edgy All Black Tablescapes Ideas

The charm of an all-black event design lies in its ability to create various moods. From the romantic to the avant-garde! When it comes to tablescapes, there are endless creative possibilities to explore! Create a modern minimalist setting when you start with our Black Poly Tablecloth. Topped with Onyx Earthen China and Black Pindot Napkins. Lend a contemporary touch with our Brushed Copper Flatware and Cybil Glassware. For a more luxurious vibe, feature the busy Nova Linens with a Black Rim Glass Charger complemented by Noir Matte Black Flatware.

Dare to rock a more edgy, yet still stylish, look? Pair our buttery Black Velvet Linens with Black Round Lacquer Chargers and quirky Como Flatware. If you want a subtle hint of color, we recommend napkins in bold or jewel tones. Such as the beautiful Aubergine Poly, Magnolia Green Velvet, or Navy Dupioni.

Moody Cocktail Lounges

A cocktail hour is a time for guests to mingle, sip on delectable drinks, and immerse themselves in the event’s atmosphere. Elevate the experience by creating an intimate and luxurious vibe with all-black cocktail hour rentals. Choose sleek black lounge furniture that invites guests to relax and socialize. Such as our Regent Black Velvet Sofa. Complemented by Claro Metal Side Tables and Acrylic Ghost Armchairs.

Black Event Bars & Shelving

To create an equally dark yet functional cocktail bar, grab our striking Collins Black Wood Bar and a set of Black Bar Back Shelves. They are a perfect pair whether you plan to feature an open-bar or large batch cocktails at a self-serve station. If you want extra seating or standing areas around the bar, feature bistro tables covered in dark linens. Along with a set of Acrylic Ghost Barstools or Chiavari Black Barstools.

Cocktail hour gets overlooked in the planning process more than it should. 🥂

The right mix of cocktail tables and barstools shapes how guests move, where they land, and how the whole space feels before dinner even starts. We broke down exactly how to get it right — link in bio.

Somerset Blue showing out at @thecordelle. 💙

Blue and white printed linens in an urban setting — bright, elegant, and exactly the kind of table that makes a downtown venue feel like it was always meant for this. Pattern can carry a room when it's the right one.

Pink and mint walked into a wedding at @cjsoffthesquare and honestly? They owned it. 🌸

Floral ceremony, white folding chairs, and reception tables that committed fully to the color story.

Moody done right. 🍷
Deep plum linens, rattan chargers, and our Lucia Frayed Napkins — this table had texture coming from every direction without ever feeling like too much.

The @franklinrodeo is proof that corporate events don't have to play it safe 🤠

Amber glassware, cowhide rugs, wood furniture, a large bar — the setup had a clear point of view and the crowd responded to it. When the rental selections match the energy of the event, guests notice!

Something new is in the showroom ✨

Meet Welles — a soft blue china with a delicate pattern around the rim that sits right in that sweet spot between understated and memorable. Also available in Wheat for a warmer take on the same quiet elegance.

Fresh, bright, and just the right amount of fun. 🍊

This setup for @GraceWorksTN is giving us all the spring feels — orange and white pops of color paired with our new Natural Willow chairs. Simple, cozy, and somehow exactly right.
