On Trend: Black Tie Dinner Parties

On Trend, Southern Events Products, Trends and Inspiration

gold accent glassware

With regal and royal trending in event design, we’re all about appreciating the finer things in life – including black-tie dinner parties! This theme is perfect for adding an upscale feel to any celebration, whether it be a birthday, anniversary, reunion, corporate achievement, and so on. Plus, planning a formal event is easier than ever, thanks to our elegant in-stock event rentals. Check out our serving ware, furniture, and decor that can be used to elevate your tablescape and impress your dinner guests!

Elegant Serving Ware

Black tie event design is all about luxury! For the table, we offer a range of stylish serving ware that suits any palette and style. White China is always a good start, whether you prefer Round plates or a more charming design, like Darcy. For a more moody table, opt for Earthen Onyx or Stone China. And should you prefer a more glam look, check out pieces that feature metallics. Such as our Glass Charger with a Gold Rim or Medallion Gold Glass Charger. If you want a touch of color, take a look at our gold accented Laguna or Coronado China.

Just don’t forget to grab matching flatware! Our Gold Austin and Abby Flatware are always popular. Meanwhile, the Noir Matte Black and Como Flatware are edgy yet stylish.

Luxe Seating

Although your own dining chairs will do just fine, swapping your seating for a special evening can make a big impact. It also makes for more cohesive black-tie dinner parties! We offer a variety of stylish seating options, from more traditional designs to unique contemporary pieces. Our Harlin Dining Chairs are ideal for luxe Southern-inspired gatherings, as our the Adeline Chairs. Whereas the Acrylic Carrigan Side Chairs offer a more modern but equally formal look! Then there is the always popular Chiavari Chairs, available in four beautiful colors, which look stunning in any setting.

Hosting a black-tie wedding or black-tie corporate event? Don’t fret! We have plenty of seating in stock for small parties as well as large gatherings.

The ‘Wow’ Factor

While most black-tie event themes entail neutral palettes and elegant serving ware, we love a ‘wow’ factor. In fact, we encourage it! Little details that will have guests talking, snapping pics, and admiring the thought that went into the design. It can be as simple as quirky glassware, like our always popular Cybil Wine Glasses or Champagne Flutes. Or luxurious velvet linens, in a deep Magnolia or eye-catching Merlot – they won’t be able to keep their hands off it! Another luxe addition are stylish centerpieces like our Davis Glass Cylinders, paired with greenery and candles. Or our contemporary Acrylic Rectangle Container.

Four shades. One very good glass. 🥂
Our Bella wine glasses come in Smoke, Blue, Gold, and Sage — because the right color can change the whole vibe of a table.

Somerset Blue is doing all the heavy lifting. 💙 A bright geometric print that's perfectly playful but not busy. Explore our full inventory of linens at the link in our bio!

Sage and white make for a pretty palette, but it's our Harlin dining chairs and Everly lounge that made this tented reception feel grounded and full 🌿 Good furniture selection rarely gets enough credit!

The best events don't feel like a series of rooms. They feel like one continuous experience.

That's harder to pull off than it sounds, and it usually starts with the rental selections. When the furniture, tabletop, and lounge pieces are chosen with the full day in mind rather than space by space, guests move through an event without ever feeling the transition.

Bold florals need a tabletop that knows when to step back 🌸 A classic combination of ivory and white kept this reception looking refined rather than minimal! Our Darcy China remains a fan-favorite for couples who want a reception that oozes no-frill romance.

We love a tented reception for a lot of reasons. The way color looks under sailcloth is near the top of the list. 🌿

Shades that might feel bold indoors take on a whole different quality in filtered natural light — warmer, softer, and somehow exactly right. It's one of those things you have to see in person to fully appreciate.
