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!
