When it comes to planning an event, choosing the right furniture can make all the difference. Whether you’re hosting an intimate dinner party at home, a grand corporate gala, or an elegant wedding, the right event furniture sets the tone and ensures your guests feel comfortable and immersed in the ambiance. At Southern Events, we’ve curated a range of stunning event furniture combinations designed to suit any occasion and style. Let’s explore our favorite pairings for every aesthetic, from warm and inviting neutrals to bold, art deco-inspired settings.

Mocha Mousse Mayhem: Warm and Chocolatey Neutrals

Rich, earthy tones are the cornerstone of this style, creating a cozy yet elegant atmosphere. For events that call for timeless warmth and sophistication, we recommend:

• Aged Oak Dining Table paired with Harlin Dining Chairs for a welcoming dining experience.
• A lounge area featuring the Bennett Leather Sofa and Charlotte Chairs, complemented by Charlotte Side Tables for a cohesive look.

This combination is the perfect foundation for an event that exudes a touch of homely elegance. To warm up your table even more, feature a soft Sahara table runner in the neutral shade of your choice along with our Alabaster Earthen China.

Moody Modern: Dark and Dramatic

For those who crave a sleek, modern aesthetic with a hint of drama, the Moody Modern style delivers a luxe edge. Our favorite pieces include:

• The Regent Black Velvet Sofa, Ghost Acrylic armchairs, and Claro Metal Side Tables create a striking lounge area.
• Pair the Collins Black Wood Bar with Hudson Outdoor Bistro Tables and Casper Square Back Acrylic Barstools for a modern cocktail space.
• The Estelle Quarter Round Sofa offers additional seating with a contemporary flair.

This bold furniture set is ideal for black-tie galas or avant-garde weddings. To create extra dimension, consider creating layered duochromatic place settings with rentals featuring black, white, or clear glass.

Contemporary Cottagecore: Soft, Natural, and Minimalist

Romantic prints and natural textures define this dreamy, minimalist style. It should give off a nostalgic feel despite the modern details. For a charmingly understated event:

• Start with the Aged Oak Dining Table and pair it with Antique White Bentwood Chairs for a graceful dining setup.
• A lounge area featuring the Fern Velvet Sofa and Elyza Chairs atop a vintage rug creates a cozy gathering space.

This aesthetic is perfect for garden parties, bridal showers, or outdoor weddings where nature takes center stage. To up the romance, we recommend featuring floral china, such as Emmie or Liana prints. Along with the Lucia Frayed napkins in a subtle shade.

Art Deco Delight: Bold and Flashy

Channel an artsy yet contemporary aesthetic when you combine bold, geometric patterns and luxurious textures. Our top picks for an Art Deco-inspired event are:

• The Chelsea Marble Top Bar paired with Charleston Bistro Tables for a show-stopping cocktail area.
• Lounge seating featuring the Jacqueline Sofa, Farrah Teal Velvet Chairs, and a Gold Hammered Coffee Table–a beautiful mix of vibrant colors and metallic accents.

This style is tailor-made for New Year’s Eve parties, high-end fundraisers, or any event where you want to make a statement. To liven up your event tables, we recommend creating a maximalist table setting with an array of loud colors and prints. 

Elegant Country: Casual Yet Sophisticated

Blend sophistication with a touch of rustic charm for an Elegant Country vibe. Here’s how to achieve it:

• The Aged Oak Dining Table paired with Cross-Back Chairs or a Rustic Bench offers intimate yet versatile dining options.
• A lounge area featuring the Fern Velvet Sofa, Carter Chairs, and the Ellison Coffee Table strikes a balance between elegance and comfort.

This aesthetic is ideal for outdoor weddings, anniversary celebrations, or any event where relaxed sophistication is the goal. To create an added level of coziness, add layers where possible. Such as complement seating with plush pillows and blankets, and topping place setting with soft napkins.

Complete the place setting with our classic Brooklyn or elegant Abby Flatware. Alternatively, metallic flatware will POP against bold linens! Just like this Brushed Copper Flatware on top of Black Linens and Onyx China.

Shimmering Event Linens

A subtle detail that can elevate any table is the right choice of linens. Drape your tables with shimmering tablecloths in gold, silver, or metallic hues to create a luxurious foundation. Consider the Silver White Leaf or Silver Furrow linens for an elegant icy look. If you aren’t afraid to go big and bold, the solid Gold Gold Fairmount or Victorian Luxe Gold are a striking choice! Meanwhile, the Gold Furrow Linens are more subtle. Lastly, dark linens will beautifully contrast bright china. Such as our popular Grey Nova with soft swirls of silver and gold. The play of light on these textured linens will create a captivating atmosphere. Ensuring your guests remember this New Year’s Eve celebration for years to come.

Furniture that Wows

We offer a range of metallic-finished chairs, and accent pieces that will add a touch of glamour to your party space. A classic choice for New Year’s dinners or galas is our Gold Chiavari Chairs. You might also consider incorporating gold and silver furniture pieces throughout lounge areas. One of our favorite ways to achieve this is with accent tables. We have beautiful standalone pieces like the Blanche or Avalon Round Coffee Table. Or sets, such as our favorite Echo Mirrored Side Tables. Your guests will appreciate the attention to detail as they lounge in comfort and style. Or, keep it simple when you feature our Charleston Bistro Table or the larger Loren Gold Bistro Table.

Sparkling Barware

No New Year’s Eve party is complete without a well-stocked bar, and what better way to showcase your libations than with a sparkling bar area? Elevate your drink service with metallic glassware, including the Celia Gold Rim. Served from the contemporary Cheslea Marble Top Bar. To ensure your beverage station not only serves top-notch drinks but serves as a visual centerpiece, store your glassware or bottles on the Gold Avenue Bar Back Shelf. Another option is to create a self-service drink station with hot beverages. Our Silver Coffee Urns are perfect for dishing out coffee or hot chocolate following dinner.

Southern Events was honored to be invited back to the Heritage Ball at the Eastern Flank Battlefield Park in Franklin this September. The Heritage Ball plays a proud part in the preservation of historic Downtown Franklin, and is the longest-running annual event in local history! This year’s lavish ball featured several of our rentals, styled to add an ornate old-world elegance to this Southern tradition.

Most popular rentals, like the Cross-Back Chairs and our London Loveseats, were combined with brand new pieces like our Cecilia Floral Matte Satin Linens and Winstead Gray Tufted Bench for a romantic black-tie affair. Our large selection of furniture created several lounge areas designed to enhance conversation by producing pockets of comfortable seating throughout the venue.

Guests were teased of the romantic vision to come with a lounge featuring our Santorini Couch, Rose Pillows, black flooring with floral details and potted trees in the entry.  Looking up, chandeliers with lush garland enhanced the old-world romantic affair. A variety of lounge areas were situated throughout the perimeters of the space, mixing comfortable couches, vintage chairs, and stylish loveseats with sleek and modern side tables for an ornate design. Guests were welcome to grab a drink at one of the many 8 ft Franklin Bars – each accented by a matching mini 4 ft bar topped with a lush centerpiece.

Guests dined in comfort in our artisan Harlin Dining Chairs, which we paired with our architecturally striking Cross-Back Chairs for added texture. Our new Cecilia Floral Matte Satin Linen and Blush Satin Linen draped gracefully amongst cocktail rounds, while Charcoal Dupioni Satin, Wisteria Matte Satin and Russet Satin Linens were used on dining tables for a uniquely elegant color palette. Attendees were treated to a stunning tablescape with modern elegance and lavish heirloom details thanks to our Austin Flatware, Darcy China, and Medallion Gold Glass Chargers, paired with our striking Pure Glassware. After dinner, guests danced the night away on our Plank Wood Dance Floor.

This stunning event was a dream to bring together, and the reality was more beautiful than we could have imagined. Many, many thanks to the Heritage Society, gala chair, event staff and all of those who came together to celebrate Franklin’s history and future! Special thanks to Phindy Studios for capturing this event so beautifully. We hope to see you all again next year!
