The Perfect Blend: DIY and Luxe Party Rentals

Nashville is renowned for its creativity and charm, and your event can reflect just that. The right mix of party rentals can bring a unique flair to any gathering, offering versatility for hosts who want to get hands-on with DIY projects or prefer a polished, professional finish.

Market Cart

Our Market Cart is a charming piece, perfect for creating a variety of different ‘stations’. Transform it into a delightful candy station by filling jars with colorful sweets where guests can load up on treats. For outdoor events, it makes for a convenient drink stand, whether you’re serving up lemonade or batch mocktails in beverage dispensers. Alternatively, convert it into a flower cart where attendees can assemble their own party favors by designing bouquets with fresh blooms.

Popcorn Machine Package

This vintage-inspired Popcorn Machine Package adds a nostalgic and interactive element to any event. It’s a showstopper for a movie night setup when paired with a cozy outdoor lounge area. For a snack station, set up a nearby toppings bar where guests can customize their own treats. Hosting a carnival-themed event? Use the popcorn machine alongside striped tablecloths and festive decor to create an authentic atmosphere. As a final touch, provide small bags so guests can take some popcorn home as party favors.

Ticket Booth

A Ticket Booth is a whimsical rental that can serve multiple purposes. Turn it into a guestbook station where attendees can leave notes or Polaroid photos as keepsakes. It’s also a fantastic photo prop—decorate it with flowers or balloons to create a fun photo booth setup. For family gatherings or activity-focused events, use the ticket booth to distribute game tickets. It can even double as an entrance checkpoint, stylishly organizing guest check-ins or seating assignments.

White 6-Tier Serving Tower

This unique serving tower is an elegant addition to any event. Its tiers are perfect for showcasing desserts like cupcakes, macarons, or mini cheesecakes, turning your sweets into a visual centerpiece. For brunch gatherings, use it to artfully arrange bagels, muffins, and fruit. If you’re hosting a cocktail party, it can hold garnishes like lemon wedges, olives, and herbs for a DIY cocktail bar. As guests leave, the tower can also serve as a favor display, elegantly presenting small gifts or mementos.

Franklin 4 Foot Antique White Bar

Our Franklin 4 Foot Antique White Bar exudes sophistication and versatility. Use it as a signature drink station, offering custom cocktails or mocktails that align with your event’s theme. For a cozy gathering, transform it into a coffee bar complete with syrups, toppings, and an assortment of mugs. It also doubles as a dessert bar, showcasing cakes, pies, or pastries – elevated with mismatched cake stands. Alternatively, set it up as a welcoming area, adorned with floral arrangements, a guestbook, or champagne for celebratory toasts.

Black Bookcase

The Black Bookcase brings a sleek, modern touch to your event design. As a bar backdrop, it’s ideal for displaying trendy bottles and glassware, adding a professional touch to your beverage area. For an interactive experience, consider displaying your favorite bourbons for a tasting experience. For parties with favors or goodie bags, the bookcase provides a stylish and organized way to present them. Additionally, it’s perfect for themed decor—fill its shelves with props, books, or collectibles to align with your event’s aesthetic.

Fresh and colorful florals are timeless, but why not switch things up? A unique centerpiece is one way to elevate your event tables and impress your guests. Centerpieces serve as a focal point and should help tie all of the surrounding elements on your table, like the linens and serving ware, together. Get inspired by our non-floral table centerpieces that can be used to create a photo-worthy spread.

Geometric Centerpieces

For a more modern or luxe event, our Gold Metal Intersect Cube and Gold Metal Sphere are perfect. These elegant geometric centerpieces are perfect for pairing with gold serving ware, not to mention highly versatile. Spruce them up with bright flowers or greenery, pop a candle in the center, or let them stand alone. For a bold maximalist look, we recommend placing them on top of layered linens, dotted with other decorations. Perhaps a mix of single candles, candelabras, and votives!

Delicious Food Spreads

A less common but unique centerpiece is food, featured on a cake stand or charcuterie boards. It is the perfect centerpiece for food-focused celebrations, say a brunch bridal shower or afternoon dinner party. Even more so now that interactive elements and displays have become so popular! You can display cheese, bread, and fruit, as well as handheld desserts – like tasty donuts or cupcakes. We stock a variety of elegant cake stands to suit any theme or style, including the classic Windsor and Glass Cake Stand. To create a more dimensional look, we recommend featuring stands of different heights. A feat made easy with our Marble and Gold Adjustable Cake Stand!
