On Trend: All-Black Event Design & Tablescapes

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. Alternatively, the Sloan Sofa and Armchairs offer a stylish yet casual vibe. Complete the look with a cozy Black-Silver rug!

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.

On Trend | Corporate Events With Unique Themes

On Trend, Southern Events Products

As the weather warms up there is no better time to host a corporate event. Blue skies and sunshine open up a world of possibilities in terms of creative entertainment and event design. At Southern Events Party Rentals Online, we have a little something for every occasion and celebration! From stylish cocktail hour essentials to cozy event lounges. Perfect for toasting an anniversary, thanking partners and clients, or treating your employees. Get inspired by these unique corporate event themes, perfect for the spring and summer seasons!

Spring Has Sprung

The season of new beginnings, spring is a fitting time to treat your employees to a party that will leave them feeling reenergized. This is one of the more simple corporate event themes, yet it is sure to be a memorable event. We recommend hosting outdoors, to make the most of the seasonal foliage – think of it as natural decor! Scatter a mix of bistro and round tables on the lawn, dressed up with Peaches N’ Cream Poly and our elegant Harlin Dining Chairs. For additional seating, feature a chic neutral lounge area made up of our Bennett Leather Sofa, Adeline Dining Chairs, Chocolate Poufs, and a Navy Rug. To encourage guests to stay awhile, provide them with a stocked Franklin Antique White Bar and grazing boards served up on Wood Melamine Trays.

Off to the Races

The Kentucky Derby may only last two minutes, but it is a highly anticipated and celebrated sporting event. In terms of themed corporate events, there is no better time to host a party. Running with existing events or holidays makes it easier than ever to piece together a theme, and a high-class Derby Party is one of our personal favorites. Start with stylish bistro tables, like a classic bistro table dressed up with Cherry Red Poly Linens. Or the Loren Gold Bistro Table with a Black and White Striped Runner and Acrylic Ghost Barstools. Place an artificial grass rug beneath them for a fun spring touch! A fully stocked bar is essential – try Harpeth customized with your business logo. Classic glassware, like Mint Julep Cups and Davis Rocks Glass, is perfect for serving up bourbon-based cocktails.

Upscale Summer BBQ

A simple but always exciting event theme idea is a classic summer BBQ. A backyard BBQ is fitting for a casual celebration, say an employee appreciation day or even ‘just because’. You don’t need a reason to get together and grill out! Set up picnic tables with Red & White Check Linens. If kids are attending, check out our children’s furniture. For some contrast, feature our Earthen Onyx China and crisp White Napkins. Should you need serving trays, check out our family-style serving pieces. Whether you want a self-serve bar or food display, opt for our Whiskey Barrel Barnwood Bar. For added colors, a mix of vintage rugs will create an extra cozy vibe! Moreso should you feature a fire pit surrounded by poufs and rustic benches.

Black and White Party

If you are hosting an elegant corporate party, you can’t go wrong with a black and white event theme. A grayscale color palette will also make it incredibly easy to put together a cohesive look. Start with classic bistro tables outfitted in our beautiful Black Nova Linens, paired with Mid Century Black Barstools. If you’ll be toasting to the occasion, you’ll need a stylish bar and glassware to match. Our Black Franklin Antique Bar is a bold choice, as is a White 6-Tier Serving Tower. Should you need additional storage space, be sure to grab a set of barback shelves in black or white. For glassware, take a look at our Cybil Champagne Glasses or trendy coupe glasses.

On Trend: Corporate Wellness Rooms

Southern Events Products, Trends and Inspiration

In a post-pandemic world, the health and happiness of employees is a priority for many companies and business owners. A focus that your team and attendees will appreciate, especially during a conference, convention or corporate summit. Today we’ll share how you can create corporate wellness rooms to help maintain positive and motivated participants!

Create an Ambient Setting

The first step you’ll want to take when creating corporate wellness rooms is selecting a designated area or areas within your event space. We recommend selecting an area that is a ways away from the primary room in use so that your guests can fully escape the hustle and bustle – whether you are hosting a training session or an annual meeting. Once established, pipe and drape can be used to enclose a space. This will help create a more private and ambient setting, in which guests can sit back, relax, and recharge. Choose from a range of beautiful and calming colors, such as black, ivory and white. If you like, you can even designate this area as a quiet or non-tech space!

Lounge Areas

Within your wellness room, you’ll want some comforts that encourage guests to sit and stay for a while. Specifically, lounge areas where people can casually converse or even meditate for a time. Start with cozy neutral or warm colored furniture, like our Bennett Leather Sofa or Henley Grey Velvet Tufted Sofa. Pair it with a set of accent chairs, like our beautiful Gloria Velvet Arm Chairs. Then, finish it off with a plush area rug and a set of matching coffee and side tables. Avoid any pieces that are too contemporary and might give off a cold feeling! Of course, you can also choose from our selection of beautiful lounge packages (we recommend #03 or #26). If you prefer, you can also create smaller areas using our bistro tables and bistro chairs.

Food & Beverage Stations

In addition to helping your guests relax you also want to help them recharge. A scrumptious food and beverage station will help keep them satiated and in tune for a long day of meetings or workshops. Start with an elegant display shelf, like our Black Bar Back Shelf – to store a selection of simple water goblets or other glassware. Nearby, keep refreshing cucumber water or similar beverages in a Glass Beverage Jar. Display snack foods, like fresh fruit or vegetables, in our white family-style service pieces for light on-the-go bites. Accompanied by simple white china! If you’ve been approved for alcoholic beverages, a stylish and well-stocked bar never hurt either.
