On Trend: Modern Retro-Inspired Party Furniture RentalsOn Trend, Southern Events Products, Trends and Inspiration |
If you’re searching for a stylish and vibrant theme for your next event, look no further than modern retro! Inspired by the late 1970s through the 90s, our modern retro rentals blend rich colors with sleek, functional designs. Whether it’s a cocktail hour or a laid-back lounge, these pieces are perfect for creating a chic throwback vibe that’s totally on trend. Dive into our collection of party furniture rentals to craft a modern retro experience your guests won’t forget!
Groovy Lounge Vibes
Transform your event into a retro haven with our groovy lounge furniture. Imagine guests sinking into plush sofas and metallic armchairs that evoke the stylish simplicity of late-century design. From muted olive tones to bold, vibrant hues, our lounge pieces offer the perfect blend of comfort and cool. Jacqueline and Fern are fan favorites, made of buttery velvet in rich colors. Pair these pieces with an equally bold armchair, like Gloria in mustard. Or, choose a more sleek design like the Farrah Teal Velvet or Gold Bamboo Arm Chair.
Retro-Chic Accents
It’s all about the details when it comes to pulling off a modern retro theme, and our retro-chic accents are just what you need to elevate your event. Think hammered gold or pewter tables that exude understated luxury, or cozy Turkish Rug Ottoman that add warmth and depth to your seating area. And don’t forget the finishing touch—a neutral cowhide rug that ties everything together with its classic texture. These accessories may be subtle, but they pack a punch, turning any space into a polished, retro-inspired scene that feels both nostalgic and fresh.
Tabletop Time Travel
Bring the past to your party with our retro-inspired tabletop rentals that marry form and function in the most stylish way possible. Our collection includes everything from richly colored linens to funky dinner plates that echo the era’s flair for the dramatic. Start with a bold base, like velvet linens in a warm Golden tone or deep Ocean Blue. Or achieve an eclectic vibe when you feature mismatched napkins! To make these shades stand out even more, place them atop solid plates – Alabaster or Onyx Earthen China. And just because you’re going retro doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy a bit of glam! Sprinkle in a few metallics with Gold Rim Glass Chargers or Brushed Copper Flatware.
Retro Cocktail Hour Essentials
No modern retro event is complete without a cocktail hour that’s just as stylish as the rest of your setup. Our retro hour essentials include everything you need to serve drinks with a dash of nostalgia. Picture a vintage bar cart gleaming with brass accents, ready to roll out your favorite spirits and mixers. Or the gleaming Chelsea Marble Top Bar, where guests can treat themselves to water or lemonade in amber or green water goblets. Alternatively, make a statement with our White 6-Tier Serving Tower. A stylish grab-and-go option when you feature our contemporary Cybil Champagne Glasses.

On Trend | Pretty In Pastel: Our Most Popular Spring RentalsOn Trend, Southern Events Products, Trends and Inspiration |
Nothing is quite as invigorating as a bright spring gathering after a long and dreary winter. As nature springs back to life consider hosting a casual outdoor party. Whether it is a simple backyard dinner or a semi-formal cocktail hour, light bites, refreshing beverages, and good company are exactly what the doctor calls for! Get inspired by our most popular spring event design ideas, featuring our pastel event rentals. From chic linens and elegant serving ware to dreamy lounge areas, we have everything you need to host a sunny spring soiree.
Sleek & Chic Serving Pieces
Is it just us or does a well-thought-out place setting make for an extra charming table? Modern chic event design calls for a bright palette featuring crisp serving ware with a splash of color. Start with simple china, such as the Classic Round or dainty Darcy, and for a more muted white, consider Alabaster Earthen China. You can add texture with our Elegant Rattan White Wash Charger or Scalloped Wood Charger – paired with pastel linens, you’ll achieve an elegant table. If you would like a little more color, swap the white china out for brighter plates – perhaps the Coronado, Laguna, or Veral Floral China. Choosing flatware is simple. Just select a polished, matte, or brushed finish.
Fancy Glassware + Drink Displays
One of our favorite spring event ideas is signature drinks. And we have a variety of gorgeous glassware that will elevate any cocktail (or mocktail)! Popular choices include Cybil Wine Glass, Monaco Rock Glass, and Pure Water Glass. Our Franklin 4 Ft Antique White Bar is a classic choice for a small gathering. Use it to display your favorite alcohol and mixers. Or feature batch cocktails placed atop our Rattan Beverage Jar Stand. If you need additional display pieces, take a look at our White 6-Tier Serving Tower or White Bookcase.
Bright Linens
Linens are one of the most effective ways to incorporate color into your event table. And we have a huge array of pastel event rentals to help you create a spring-inspired tablescape! From subtle blue and purple hues to sunny yellows and greens. You can add as many colors or shades of color as you like by mixing and matching tablecloths and napkins.
Create a trendy monochromatic look by pairing our Peaches n’ Cream Poly Linens with Coral Velvet Napkins, or pair classic colors with a buttery texture when you combine our Fern Velvet Tablecloth with Navy Blue Velvet Napkins. Other gorgeous choices include Lilac Poly, Honey Poly, and Light Blue Pindot. If you prefer muted pastels, be sure to consider our Kennedy Collection.
Sunny Outdoor Event Lounges
Is there any better way to enjoy the outdoors than a sunny lounge area? Having at least one, if not several, will encourage your guests to cozy up and hang out – hopefully with a cocktail in hand! Start with a stylish sofa that will stand out against nature. Such as the Everly or Bennett Leather Sofa. Then consider armchairs, like our always popular Gloria Velvet. Or sub in dining chairs for an extra-chic look, whether it be the Harlin or Adeline chairs.
You will also want a set of accent tables, which can be a great way to add in metallics – like the Gold Hammered or Cheval Gold Mirror Side Tables. One of the most underrated spring event rentals is our stylish rugs, which will help frame lounge furniture placed on a lawn or gravel – to make the space extra cozy you can also feature a mix of poufs and ottomans.

Southern Style: Colorful Garden Wedding at The CordelleEvents and Style Shoots, On Trend, Southern Events Products, Trends and Inspiration |
Team Southern recently had the opportunity to collaborate with local vendors on a whimsical styled shoot at The Cordelle. An event venue & garden situated in Downtown Nashville, it was a stunning backdrop for the colorful outdoor wedding. With a mix of historic and modern spaces, featuring grandeur and charm, there was no shortage of room to create a functional and on-trend wedding layout. Check out the details from this dreamy garden-inspired wedding, featuring our stylish event rentals.
Seating for a Whimsical Indoor Ceremony
The ceremony took place in The Victorian, featuring brick walls, hardwood floors, and beautiful floor-to-ceiling windows. Contrasting the urban event space, we opted for our elegant Harlin Dining Chairs. Featuring light wood and detailed backs, they were the perfect choice for the dreamy indoor ceremony. An equally gorgeous alternative would have been our Adeline Dining Chairs! While we decided to keep the aisle bare, featuring a mix of our vintage rugs would have also been a beautiful choice, lending a cozy vibe.
A Dreamy Outdoor Reception Set Up
Meanwhile, the 5,000-square-foot Garden Lawn created an ethereal garden reception. The manicured lawn and bistro lights overhead made for a charming outdoor setup – especially come nightfall. Our Fruitwood Farm Tables and Harlin Dining Chairs were the base for the guest tables. This banquet style is perfect if you want a more intimate feel! Set with Heirloom China, Hob Nob Glassware, and Sophia Flatware, the look was elegant and vintage-inspired. Fun fresh florals and Turqouise Poly Napkins provided a punch of color, fitting for the season! Our Davis Glass Cylinders filled in the table centerpieces.
Blue-Hued Wedding Lounge
Eventually, The Victorian was flipped into a cozy cocktail area. Contrasting the warm-toned space, we chose our always popular Saylor Navy Velvet Sofa and Chair. It paired beautifully with a bright Aqua Rug and modern Rhodes Coffee Table. To optimize the space were a handful of cocktail tables – dressed up with deep black linen. Combining with the whimsical florals, it was a perfect cocktail hour set up for the colorful garden wedding.
On-Theme Wedding Cocktails
To match the colorful event design, equally bold wedding cocktails were required! J Jackson Mobile Mixologist served up a variety of delicious colorful cocktails in our Davis and Coupe Glasses. We chose these pieces for their clean shape, contrasting the vintage-inspired Hob Nob Glassware used at each table. We also loved the fun colors of the beverages as well as edible florals!

City Chic Garden Party at CJ’s Off the SquareNashville Venues, On Trend, Southern Events Products, Trends and Inspiration |
In the heat of summer, there is nothing quite like a garden party – whether you are celebrating with family, friends, or even coworkers! An intimate celebration outdoors is the perfect way to spend an afternoon, with light bites, and tasty drinks gathered around a lawn game or two. Get inspired on how to host a colorful fete when you check out this city-chic garden party at CJ’s Off the Square!
Summer Champagne Wall!
You don’t have to host a huge celebration in order to incorporate a ‘wow’ factor. Our Barback Shelves are a simple addition that will uplevel any event. It is a fun way to greet your guests with appetizers or a cocktail, as seen with this popsicle champagne wall. Or, they can visit it later, to find a sweet treat or dessert. Like fresh donuts and milk or coffee! And, since they are easy to customize you can incorporate elegant decorations such as a neon sign or vibrant florals.
Chic Cocktail Lounges
A must-have for a cocktail hour is a social area, where guests can sit down and sip on their drinks for a while. Consider a bistro table or lounge areas, or even both! Feature a combination of our sofas, chairs, and accent tables to create a chic setup. Consider our Everly Sofa and Chairs, paired with a set of our Capriano Marble and Copper Accent Tables. We also recommend including a few of our colorful event rentals, whether you opt for a Vintage Rug or swap out the Everly Chairs for our Saylor Navy Velvet Chairs.
Don’t forget to grab a selection of our beautiful glassware for rent – to serve up colorful fruit-infused cocktails! If you won’t have a bar and would prefer a self-serve drink station, our Gold Beverage Jars are a stylish way to dish up big batch cocktails.
Intimate Yet Luxe Dining
If your goal is a true garden dinner party, with more than just appetizers, you’ll also need some elegant tablescapes. We have a variety of beautiful tables and linens for rent, an essential foundation for colorful event design. Start with our Kennedy Fawn or Dusty Blue Etched Velvet Linens. Pastels will lend color but allow vibrant floral centerpieces to shine! If you like the look of more layers, top it off with any of our chiffon runners. For serving ware, keep it simple but don’t be afraid of some texture. Check out our Rattan White Wash Chargers, which pair beautifully with any of our white china. For napkins, any of our luxe linens will do. We also recommend incorporating some pieces featuring metallic colors, whether it be our Austin Gold or Brushed Copper Flatware, for that chic touch. Maybe even our Vera Floral China!

2021 Trends | Party & Wedding RentalsOn Trend, Southern Events Products, Trends and Inspiration |
2021 is rapidly approaching and with it are new event trends! Our team at Southern Events is looking forward to getting creative to help you design memorable celebrations in the year ahead. Get inspired for your future events by looking at the 2021 trends, featuring our in-stock rentals.
Luxe But Sustainable
Luxe events aren’t going anywhere but we’re seeing an increased interest in sustainability. There are multiple ways to host a sustainable event via rentals. The first is reusable serving ware, including china, flatware, glassware, and linens. Rentals are an easy and beautiful way to reduce the waste produced by your event.
In terms of styling, expect lots of lush plants & greenery. Potted plants are especially beautiful and perfect for aisle decor and table centerpieces. The same goes for dried plants, which lend lots of texture. Pampas grass in particular is trending, as it easily adds volume and height. Expect to see an increasing amount of dried flower bouquets and arrangements.
This emerald, cream & gold tablescape features our Gold Rim Glass Charger, Alabaster Earthenware, Gold Austin Flatware, Fern Velvet Linens, Colored Glassware & Pure Glassware.

All Out Events
Go big or go home right? One 2021 trend is events that are memorable, not necessarily in size but in the details. Diva Boho-themed events are a great example. Think of bold & intricate geometric patterns, and voluminous flowers or other organic arrangements. Metallics are also here to stay, as they are a quick way to add some sparkle and shine to an event. At this type of event, you can tell that every thoughtful detail was well planned and executed.
This bright textured tablescape was created using our Medallion Gold Glass Chargers, Onyx Earthenware, Austin Flatware & Audrey Gold Rim Glassware.

A Focus on Sentimentality
People are gravitating towards heirlooms and the texture of various things that draw them to the past – we expect this event trend to only get bigger in 2021. Not necessarily a boho theme, but colors and textures that incite a sense of nostalgia. So sustainable handmade pieces lend texture, such as clay, jute, and wicker decor. This trend also applies to attire, in the form of heirloom jewelry, clothing, and accessories. For weddings, think dresses with intricate old-school embroidery in an ivory or cream color. One great example is celestial-inspired events, where texture and vintage or retro items are easy to incorporate into the design.

2021 Wedding Colors
In 2021, we’re expecting to see every color & combination imaginable. After a year of postponing and adjusting, why not throw out the rules a little?! While neutral-themed weddings are timeless, more and more couples are seeking to host an event that is unique and memorable. The colors you feature are one easy way to showcase your personality. Here’s some 2021 color trend inspo!
- Muted/Matte Jewel Tones – Mustard, Dark Plum, Hunter & Emerald green, Inky Indigo, Sapphire
- Pastel Tones – Light Aqua, Baby Pink, Peach, Cantaloupe

Southern Style: Colorful Backyard PartyEvents and Style Shoots, On Trend, Southern Events Products, Trends and Inspiration |
Vibrant and whimsical, these colorful backyard party ideas that are sure to bring some wonder & whimsy to your next Nashville, Tennessee event. Perfect for a kid’s birthday party, fun gender reveal party or daytime wedding, check out how we use our party rentals to create a bold & colorful look that is timeless, stylish and fun!
Mix & Match Furniture
Keep your event casual yet maintain a consistent aesthetic with a mix of furniture that complements one another. By using Barnwood Furniture of a variety of shapes, you can make the most of the space and also feature some statement pieces. Take for example our beautiful Fruitwood Farm Tables. In regards to chairs, we used a mix of rustic benches and our elegant Cross-back chairs. Although simple, it creates a foundation from which to add 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.
