On Trend: Creating a Grand Event Entrance

On Trend, Southern Events Products

Supporting image

The entrance to an event is a guest’s first impression of what’s to come! It will set the tone for the remainder of the event, and so it’s important to start things off on the right foot. Today, we’re sharing some of our in-stock rentals that can be used to create a grand event entrance.

Carpeted Entrance

Want to wow your guests? A carpeted entrance to your event is a sure way to do that. A red carpet is an easy way to lend a hint of old Hollywood glamour – regardless of the formality of the event! It will lend to the overall look and experience, making guests feel as though they are special and creating excitement for what lies in store. Of course, your carpet doesn’t have to be red! Feel free to feature your event or company colors like the grand event entrance done in blue and white below.

Stanchion & Rope

Along with a grand carpet entrance, you’ll want to rent stanchion and rope. Our Chrome Stanchions are a timeless addition that will help you maintain an orderly entrance. It is especially great for events that will require attendees to queue up or that are ticketed.  You will also be able to choose between our Black Velour Rope and Red Velour Rope, depending on the theme or color palette featured at your event.

Vinyl Appliques

When you have a thoughtful theme or event design, vinyl appliques on your event flooring can be a unique way to welcome guests.  Custom appliques can be added to our Black, White or Natural dance floors – doubling as entrance flooring- as part of your grand event entrance. Here we replicated the florals from the event invitation and linen pattern onto floor appliques. Also, consider showing off your new monogram to welcome wedding guests or brand at a product launch.

In Stock: Interactive Party Displays & Props

On Trend, Southern Events Products, Trends and Inspiration

At any event, interactive elements are a must-have! It will help get guests out of their seats and socializing. Plus it will make your event more visually appealing since it doubles as a decoration. Take a look at some of our favorite rentals that can be used to create interactive party displays, from delicious donut walls to fun bubbly bars and classy carts!

Market Cart

A two-wheel cart with an awning, this charming display prop is so versatile! It can be used to display a small food selection or function as a drink station. In our personal opinion, it would make for a darling grazing station, packed with cold cuts and cheese on our vintage-inspired silver trays. You’re welcome to decorate our Market Cart to your heart’s desire, with fresh flowers, banners, or balloons!

Shelving

Despite its simple appearance, our Avenue Barback Shelf is a staple at events that feature self-serve drink stations. It’s a luxe gold metallic color and features brown wood veneer shelves. You can easily recreate this luxe bubbly bar when you rent a variety of our gorgeous modern glassware! Our current favorites include Cybil and Pure Glassware.

Ticket Booth

Although most events now offer tickets online, a classic booth is a fun way to welcome guests to your event! Our sturdy booth features a solid wood top and is a solid white color that will work any color palette. It also features a decal sign area so that you can easily personalize it to compliment the theme of your event.

Donut Wall

Donut walls are far from a past fad. In fact, we’re predicting that these delicious displays will stick around for a while – because who doesn’t love a donut? Our wall is freestanding, features a beautiful dark stain, and has 48 pegs, which can hold 2-3 donuts each. The only downside is that it doesn’t come with the donuts!

A monogrammed bar changes the whole feeling of a reception space. 🤍 Customization is one of the most underused tools in event design and one of the easiest ways to make a wedding feel completely personal from the moment guests walk in.

Sage is doing a lot of work here (and it's pulling it off) 🌿

The thing about a monochromatic palette is that it stops feeling like a color choice and starts feeling like a mood. This one carries just as well into fall with the right warm accents alongside it!

A fresh, blue-hued celebration at the always stunning Sycamore Farms 💙 Our Coronado and Laguna china share the same hues but bring their own personality! Together, they add a layer of depth that a single pattern rarely achieves on its own.

Soft blues, blush pinks, sage greens, and lilac tones do something that bolder palettes can't — they work with natural light rather than against it, which makes a space feel cohesive without a lot of effort 🌸

From the bar surface to the glass in every guest's hand, we have it all. 🥂
Our bars come in a range of styles and finishes — and our glassware selection covers everything from classic wine and champagne to specialty cocktail and barware. The bar is one of the most visited spots at any event. It should look the part from every angle.

Black wood chairs and all-white tables are a straightforward combination on paper. With the setting sun filtering through the barn at Southall Meadows, it's a dream. 🤍

Beaded glass chargers, clear stemware, and silver flatware brought just enough shimmer to keep this one feeling alive without pulling focus from the soft blue napkins and pastel florals!
