Functional and stylish rentals, Southern Events offers a range of area rugs for events & weddings. Although simple, a beautiful decorative rug will lend to an all-around cohesive event space. Whether they are used to line an aisleway or placed beneath the featured furniture. You go to major lengths to decorate and furnish the space in a way that aligns with your event, and the floor is the foundation! Take a look at our in-stock area rugs and how you can feature one or several at your upcoming Nashville event.

Tie it All Together

Area rugs are more than just decoration. Take for example the use of layered rugs as an aisle runner. Our Brown & White Cowhide Rug and Dark Brown Cowhide Rug are perfect for a trendy urban desert wedding ceremony. Meanwhile, our vintage-inspired rugs look stunning for a cozy, boho-themed affair. Feel free to layer them up or use one standalone alongside a ceremony backdrop.

Frame a Space

Rugs assist in creating a frame in which to place the furniture. A trick that is especially useful for social areas, like a cocktail lounge. Consider using a rug to lead guests from the bar to a lounge area. It will help prevent your guests from huddling around the bar and encourage them to sit down, get comfortable, and stay for a while. See how our clients have used a range of area rugs for events & weddings, including our Navy and Aqua Rugs.

A Cohesive Design

Similar to cocktail lounges, rugs can be placed beneath standalone furniture to help create a more cohesive aesthetic. Without one, it can feel as though your furniture may float away! A rug can also help tie different areas together that would otherwise look out of place. Featured below, our vintage Blue-Red Rugs were used to accent a whiskey-barrel bar and create a charming buffet area. And to create a stylish outdoor cocktail area, it was placed beneath our Loren Gold Bistro Table.

Want something that provides more stability than a rug? Our Dura-Trac Flooring is a great option! It is made of high-quality materials and can be customized to fit any size you may need. Plus it is a safe, slip-resistant surface that can be used over a variety of terrains. Plus, you can still place one or more of our trendy area rugs on top to create a cozy atmosphere.

If you have an upcoming event and are looking to create a unique space with area rugs we’d love to chat with you! Send us a message at info@southerneventsonline.com for help or additional event inspiration!

We had the most amazing time at City Winery Nashville‘s Open House, where our distinct wedding rentals helped redefine the unique downtown Nashville wedding space. We love coming here and how our different rentals can change the space – check out the previous open house we partnered on at City Winery! This time, our team mixed modern elements with rustic foundations and some of our newest rentals creating a jaw-dropping design for weddings and couples.

Upstairs, our Adeline Dining Chairs were displayed with City Winery’s large family style table. The rustic vibe of the wooden furniture was accented beautifully by modern place settings, including the Pure Glassware, Rouge Round Chargers, and Earthen China in Alabaster and Stone. As a centerpiece, votive candles and garland were placed in our new Acrylic Rectangle Container.

A lounge area was designed with two Santorini Sofas and Winstead Grey Tufted Bench atop the new Cow Hide Rug. It was all situated beautifully beneath the stunning chandelier as a great informal area for guests to chit-chat.

In the large concert area, we set-up additional tablescapes using our loved Harlin Dining Chairs as guest seating. Ghost Chairs, Charcoal Satin Linen, and Gold Metal Intersect Cubes decorated round tables beneath more beautiful chandeliers. On stage, we debuted our new Gray and Blush Area Rug with a Grayson Farm Table, Gold Metal Intersect Cubes, and Belmont Glass Beaded Chargers.

Just outside the bar area, another lounge area featuring modern wedding rentals with our Metallic Cow Hide Rug was on display. Mercer Leather Couches, Mercer White Ottomans, Silver Throw Pillows and our new Cheval Gold Side Tables were styled together for a modern and chic design.

Thanks so much to EntertainTn and Twila Photography for sharing these amazing photos with us, and to City Winery for having us again! We can’t wait for all the events to come this year!

We love when a new space opens its doors here in Franklin, TN, but when new spaces are as beautifully designed as The Lodge our hearts do a little dance! The Lodge in Franklin, TN is a co-working space beautifully designed with high ceilings, modern amenities, and rustic style. With private rooms and an industrial style event space, it’s a great location for companies to host gatherings, summits, retreats, or simply get-out-of-the-office meetings.

For company cocktail hours, summits, or retreats The Lodge‘s large event space boasts rustic finishes and large glass garage doors to let in lots of natural light. Adjacent to the co-working space (with smaller private meeting rooms, kitchen and shared co-working room) this space offers a blank canvas for a variety of set-ups including lounges with nearby bar and cocktail tables or styled dining table for guests to gather.

Meetings at The Lodge will benefit from large windows in various private rooms, making sure that attendees feel the refreshing energy of the sunlight while still having everything they need to get work done. We added a collection of our vintage chairs to the farmhouse table, plus our unique Sunny Rolling Cart to give this meeting space an inspiring pop of color. Built-in whiteboards and high-speed wifi are standard – just add your co-workers and your next big idea!
