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.

Sometimes less is more, and modern minimalist events prove just that! There is beauty to be found in simplicity, not to mention it often comes with a smaller decor budget. Less cluttered, modern minimalism can make it feel easier to breathe within your event space, without compromising style. Learn how to host a modern minimalist event when you take a look at our in-stock rentals that will lend a clean and timeless look.

Clean Tablescapes

To achieve a modern minimalist table, you’ll want to keep any decor simple and maintain as much open space as possible – perhaps stick to greenery! As for serving ware, opt for pieces that are sleek. Such as our Earthen China, available in 3 neutral colors, or Plain Glass China. Easily feature an elegant pop of metallics with our simple Austin Gold or Noir Matte Black Flatware. For a romantic minimalist table, feature a touch of color in your otherwise neutral palette with a set of our poly napkins. Perhaps in Ice Pink, Slate, or Lilac! Or, grab a velvet set for subtle texture.

Stylish Guest Seating

Of course, your dinner tables will need chairs, of which we have many to choose from. For a modern event design, we recommend sticking to pieces that feature neutral colors and simple details. Any of our acrylic chairs are a great option, which will lend a unique contemporary look to your event. Both our Acrylic Ghost Arm Chairs and Acrylic Ghost Armless Chairs are a popular choice! For a slightly more romantic vibe, or to complement a warm-toned palette, you might opt for our Harlin Dining Chairs.

Sleek Lounge Areas

As always, every event needs a lounge to socialize. And one of our personal favorites are modern minimalist event lounges, starring clean & elegant furniture. We have a wide selection of timeless pieces that you can mix and match to create a one-of-a-kind social area. To start, choose a plush sofa, like our Regent Black Velvet Sofa – perfect for a moody minimalist lounge! Then, add-on chairs, such as one of our acrylic pieces or our unique White Eiffel Arm Chairs. And don’t forget to include areas for guests to set their drinks! We’re currently favoring our Rhodes, Rivet and Granger accent tables, with their sleek legs.

When in the South, there is no better way to celebrate than at a barn party! These historic buildings ooze southern charm and make for a gorgeous rustic backdrop – especially when complemented by our barn-inspired party rentals. Read on to get inspired by our trendy event rentals, featuring materials like wood and metal, that will make for a memorable gathering.

Whiskey Barrel Bars

One of our favorite rustic event rentals, our whiskey barrel bars are a must-have for a barn party. These classic pieces are a gorgeous choice for a bar, as well as a food display or grazing table. Choose from regular whiskey barrels or whitewash barrels, depending on your personal style. Then pick from three stylish tops: Barnwood, Galvanized, or Acrylic. Alternatively, we have a variety of traditional bars, perfect for catered events, made of rustic materials. Including our beautiful Bond Bar, Miller Bar in Wash White, and Tin Lizzie Corrugated Metal Bar.

Of course, every bar needs glassware! We have gorgeous glasses for rent, ideal for a range of classic drinks. Serve straight whiskey in our Monaco Rocks Glass. Refreshing Mint Juleps out of our classic Mint Julep Cups. And a spiked Arnold Palmer in a Recycled Hi-Ball Glass.

Rustic Bistro Tables

At some events lounge areas are ideal, but for a barn party, cocktail tables will do the trick! With music to dance to, save lounges for outdoor areas and opt for smaller areas where people can gather to chat and place their beverages. Another set of beautiful farm-inspired rentals, our Farm Bistro Tables pair perfectly with the more elegant Cross-Back Barstools.

Farm-to-Table Dinner Rentals

Hoping to host an intimate dinner in place of or following a cocktail hour? A barn party is the perfect time to enjoy a farm-to-table dinner! We have plenty of serving ware that will allow you to create a memorable rustic table setting, starting with our Farm Tables in Fruitwood. Soften the wood tabletop with a Havana Ecru Runner and napkins. For a clean but cozy look, feature our Artisan China along with a set of Abby or Hammered Flatware. Want to feature a pop of color? Our Smoke Tumblers will do the trick!

Outdoor Party Lounges

Considering most barns are situated on open land, take advantage when you make it an indoor and outdoor event. If the weather is nice, a lounge is a cozy place to settle in and chat for a while – with a drink in hand! Should you have more room, and a fire pit nearby, featuring our Rustic Benches decked out with pillows and throws. And if you need the fire itself, we’ve got that too! Our Hammered Rectangle Fire Pit and Stone Round Fire Pit are both gorgeous choices (that can also be used to make s’mores).

Texture Table Runners

If you are featuring tables with an attractive top, then you won’t want to cover it up! Gauze runners are a stylish way to feature some contrasting texture, while still showing off the existing tabletop. Perfect for our Farm Tables! Our Sahara Runners pair beautifully with the wood finish, and are available in three stunning colors. Ivory and Natural are ideal for a modern minimal tablescape.

They are perfect for warmer months of the year as they are slightly sheer, lending a laid-back look. Not to mention they are available in a range of neutral and dusty colors, fitting for a modern event table! Some of our current favorites include Cactus, Fawn and Topaz.

Luxe Linens

The latest and greatest fad in event linen rentals is velvet! Velvet linens create a rich, yet seasonless texture for your tables. And they are available in a huge array of gorgeous colors, making them fitting for a variety of event styles. A few of our current favorites include Fern, London Fog, and Rose. For an especially sophisticated look, check out our etched velvet linens featuring metallic accents – a fun option for cocktail tables. Or your cake table!

If you love event design that is creative and confident, then you’ll fall head over heels for the 2022 Pantone Color of the Year, Very Peri! A soft blue with violet-red undertones, PANTONE 17-3938 Very Peri is described to have a “spritely, joyous attitude and dynamic presence”. And for a year where event trends include vintage-inspiration and luxe details, what color could be better? To help you plan an a memorable and photo-worthy event, get inspired by event design incorporating Pantone’s color of the year.

Whimsical Event Design

By far our favorite aspect of this color of the year is the whimsy that it lends to an event! A unique mix of blue and purple, Very Peri oozes youthful luxury. Therefore, when featuring this color at your event, we recommend opting for rentals that are equally lighthearted. For example, complement any dining table with our classic Antique White Bentwood Chairs. Or create a contemporary twist with any of our on-trend acrylic chairs, such as the Carrigan Side Chair.

Perfect Very Peri Linens

If you’re looking for an easy way to feature this fun color, without overwhelming, our top is to run with a set of colorful linens! Easy to build on top of, even for an amateur host, it can be used to create a variety of different table settings. A few of our current favorites include Wisteria Satin and Lilac Poly. For an extra luxurious pop of purple, you might also consider our Lavender Velvet – even just for napkins.

Colors That Lend Contrast

Although beautiful, Very Peri is a color that in large quantities can be overwhelming. To break it up be sure to feature a mix of contrasting colors. To keep your overall event palette light and airy, go with a classic and crisp white, as shown with our delicate Darcy China. If you prefer a theme that is bolder, then go big with our stunning Onyx Earthen China. Of course, don’t be afraid to add more color! Our Amber Goblets feature a vintage design and unique color, perfect for a unique bohemian look.
