2021 Trends | Party & Wedding Rentals

On Trend, Southern Events Products, Trends and Inspiration

2021 is rapidly approaching and with it are new event trends! After all the challenges of 2020, our team at Southern Events is looking forward to getting creative to help you design memorable celebrations in the year ahead. Get inspired for your future events when you take a look at the 2021 trends, featuring our in-stock rentals.

Luxe But Sustainable

Luxe events aren’t going anywhere but we’re seeing an increased interest in sustainability. There are multiple ways to host a sustainable event via rentals. The first being reusable serving ware, including china, flatware, glassware, as well as linens. Rentals are an easy and beautiful way to reduce the waste produced by your event.

In terms of styling, expect lots of lush plants & greenery. Potted plants are especially beautiful and perfect for aisle decor and table centerpieces.  The same goes for dried plants, which lend lots of texture. Pampas grass in particular is trending, as it easily adds volume and height. Expect to see an increasing amount of dried floral bouquets and arrangements.

This emerald, cream & gold tablescape features our Gold Rim Glass Charger, Alabaster Earthenware, Gold Austin Flatware, Fern Velvet Linens, Colored Glassware & Pure Glassware.

All Out Events

Go big or go home right? One 2021 trend is events that are memorable, not necessarily in size but in the details. Diva Boho themed events are a great example. Think of bold & intricate geometric patterns, and voluminous flowers or other organic arrangements. Metallics are also here to stay, as they are a quick way to add some sparkle and shine to an event. At this type of event, you can tell that every thoughtful detail was well planned and executed.

This bright textured tablescape was created using our Medallion Gold Glass Chargers, Onyx Earthenware, Austin Flatware & Audrey Gold Rim Glassware.

A Focus on Sentimentality

People are gravitating towards heirlooms and the texture of various things that draw them to the past – we expect this event trend to only get bigger in 2021. Not necessarily boho theme, but colors and textures the incite a sense of nostalgia. So sustainable handmade pieces that lend texture, such as clay, jute and wicker decor. This trend also applies to attire, in the form of heirloom jewelry, clothing and accessories. For weddings, think dresses with intricate old school embroidery in an ivory or cream color. One great example are celestial-inspired events, where texture and vintage or retro items are easy to incorporate into the design.

Recreate this romantic neutral design with our Driftwood Velvet Napkins, Artisan China, Cybil Glassware, & Como Flatware.

Here’s some 2021 color trend inspo!

Southern Style: Emerald and Gold Dinner Party

Events and Style Shoots, Nashville Venues, On Trend, Southern Events Products, Trends and Inspiration

We love a good diner party and this emerald and gold styled shoot has us dreaming of luxe tablescapes for dinner parties and intimate weddings. Soiree on the Square in downtown Columbia, Tennessee was our host for the shoot and the perfect backdrop of cozy charm. Check out the details below, to get inspired for your own micro wedding reception or intimate dinner celebration!
For this opulent tablescape, we started by stacking our Glass Chargers with a Gold Rim and Vera Floral Dessert Plates. These were paired with our Austin Gold Flatware and vibrant Velvet Magnolia Green Napkins, which were tied in a fun knot (LOVE!). We chose our Audrey Gold Rim Goblet and Audrey Gold Rim Wine Glasses to match.

The Soiree on the Square is a gorgeous event space that mixes industrial architecture with contemporary furnishings. We contrasted the warm brick walls,  hardwood floors and industrial furniture with our modern Acrylic Ghost Chairs.

The centerpieces were simple but elegant, featuring greenery and tall gold candelabras – ideal for conversing across a table. Tall candles and votives were used throughout the space to create a romantic and intimate ambiance.

Other decorative elements include a lush garland to frame the entryway to the reception space. Eucalyptus, pampas grass and roses add volume here. A gold-framed mirror featuring a handwritten message was placed on a wrought iron stand as a stylish way to welcome guests.

Southern Style: Colorful Backyard Party

Events and Style Shoots, On Trend, Southern Events Products, Trends and Inspiration

Vibrant and whimsical, these colorful backyard party ideas that are sure to bring some wonder & whimsy to your next Nashville, Tennessee event. Perfect for a kid’s birthday party, fun gender reveal party or daytime wedding, check out how we use our party rentals to create a bold & colorful look that is timeless, stylish and fun!

Mix & Match Furniture

Keep your event casual yet maintain a consistent aesthetic with a mix of furniture that complements one another. By using Barnwood Furniture of a variety of shapes, you can make the most of the space and also feature some statement pieces. Take for example our beautiful Fruitwood Farm Tables. In regards to chairs, we used a mix of rustic benches and our elegant Cross-back chairs. Although simple, it creates a foundation from which to add color!

Metallic Place Settings

An easy way to add warmth to a colorful backyard event is with gold or silver accents. Featuring our Gold Round Lacquer Charger and Austin Flatware, adds a touch of metallics that contrasts beautifully against turquoise centerpieces. It also complements the golden yellows and sunset-inspired oranges throughout the event design. Don’t forget to pull these accents into other parts of your events with gold-rimmed glasses on your bar or gold side tables in your lounge. This creates a more cohesive look.

Bold Centerpieces

When it comes to table centerpieces people often feel the need to use matching pieces. A colorful backyard party is a perfect time to experiment with creative shapes and colors. This tablescape features a mix of vases, in teal, white, gold and clear glass – easy for a DIY backyard party. For candles, we suggest varying heights to add some dimension (though you can also create this with taller arrangements). As far as flowers go, consider keeping it simple but bright with a variety of wildflowers. Orange & yellow tones perfectly contrasted and popped against the teal and white glassware!

Vibrant Linens

Vibrant linens are so much fun! The use of bright colors will lend a sense of liveliness to your event, plus make your event photos pop. Don’t be afraid to use different linens for each table either! Note how we were careful to switch up the color of our table centerpieces depending on the linen color. As a general rule: place lighter colored centerpieces on dark tablecloths and vice versa. Our Fuschia Etched Velvet Linens with their gold veining would be a another way to bring in a subtle metallic accent and a bold pop of color.
