Bring the Amalfi Coast to Your Backyard with European Picnic RentalsSouthern Events Products, Trends and Inspiration |

Dreaming of the Amalfi Coast? With European picnic rentals from Southern Event Rentals, you can bring that effortless, sun-drenched charm straight to your backyard. Ideal for hosting a stylish dinner party, garden gathering, or milestone celebration, this on-trend look pairs vintage-inspired china, citrus tones, and rich wood textures for a casual yet elevated setting. With thoughtfully curated rentals and plenty of summer flavor, we’ll help you design a scene that feels like an Italian escape—no passport required.
Taste of Italy
Every unforgettable European picnic begins with an al fresco table, and we have just the pieces to bring that Amalfi Coast flair to life. Layer our Coronado China, with its sophisticated motif, and minimalist Artisan or Earthen Alabaster China to create a collected, curated feel. Add texture and warmth with our Walnut Rattan Chargers. A classic choice that pairs beautifully with Cornflower Costa Nova Napkins and Aged Oak Dining Table. Whether you prefer bold citrus colors or soft neutrals, these versatile rentals provide the perfect foundation for a table that’s as delicious to look at as the food served on it.

Sit Back and Savor
Creating a space where guests can relax and linger is key to capturing that slow, celebratory European vibe. And our seating options are designed for just that! The Cross-Back Chair offers timeless rustic charm. Or the Antique White Bentwood Chair brings a touch of vintage elegance with a light, breezy look. For communal-style gatherings, our Rustic Benches encourage closeness and conversation. And the Adeline Dining Chair adds an elevated, graceful touch. Mixed and matched or styled uniformly, these seating choices feel both inviting and effortlessly chic.

Clink in Color
No picnic is complete without beautiful glassware that shines in the evening sun. Our collection delivers both color and charm. Pour a chilled spritz into our beaded Meridian Blue Glasses for a pop of coastal cool, or serve rosé in the softly-hued Sunset Wine Glass for a golden-hour glow. For a nod to vintage glamour, the Gatsby Coupe Glass brings timeless elegance to your bubbly. Meanwhile, the Deco Amber Tumbler adds just the right amount of retro flair. These standout pieces don’t just hold your drinks, they help set the mood.

Coastline Comfort
When the sun dips low and the wine keeps flowing, a lounge setup is the perfect way to extend the evening without losing that laid-back, oceanside vibe. Our Ellison Sofa and matching chairs bring effortless coastal elegance to any backyard setting. Crafted from weathered teak and topped with crisp white cushions. Complete the look with the coordinating coffee table for a cohesive feel. Or, keep it simple when you feature the Estelle Quarter Round Sofa with gold hammered side tables for a subtle hint of shine. Whether guests are sipping limoncello or sharing stories under the string lights, this lounge invites them to stay a little longer.

The holidays are just around the corner, and it’s time to start planning your Thanksgiving celebration! Hosting a feast can be overwhelming, but Southern Events makes it easy by providing everything you need to create a stunning tablescape—plus, we take care of the cleanup. Here’s how to make your Thanksgiving feast unforgettable:
1. Wow Your Guests with Farm Tables
Set the stage for your gathering with our Rustic Farm Table, which seats 8 to 10 guests comfortably. Hosting a larger group? Opt for a set of our Aged Oak Dinner Tables, set up side by side, for a more refined look. These versatile tables pair beautifully with any Thanksgiving decor.
2. Add Elegance with the Perfect Chairs
No table is complete without stylish and comfortable seating. Choose from our Chiavari Chairs (available in fruitwood, gold, black, or white) for a classic look, or opt for Cross-Back Chairs for a cozy, rustic vibe. For an elevated yet homey aesthetic, consider our Harlin Dining Chairs.

3. Make a Statement with Signature Tablescapes
Elevate your Thanksgiving table with our curated collection of chargers, china, and linens. Consider:
- Scalloped Wood or Walnut Rattan Chargers for a warm, elegant base.
- Heirloom China to showcase your family’s treasured recipes.
- Choose from an array of brilliantly colored napkins, plus specialty linen options to tie the look together—don’t forget a few extras for bread baskets or food displays.
4. Rent Glassware for Every Occasion
Ensure you have enough for everyone by renting from our wide selection of glassware, including water goblets, wine glasses, coffee mugs, and barware. Best of all, we handle the cleanup so you can enjoy your day stress-free.
5. Light It Up with Lanterns and Candles
Style your Thanksgiving table with the warm glow of candlelight. Consider lanterns, candelabras, or votive candles to add ambiance and charm to your celebration.
