On Trend: Creating a Grand Event Entrance

On Trend, Southern Events Products

Supporting image

The entrance to an event is a guest’s first impression of what’s to come! It will set the tone for the remainder of the event, and so it’s important to start things off on the right foot. Today, we’re sharing some of our in-stock rentals that can be used to create a grand event entrance.

Carpeted Entrance

Want to wow your guests? A carpeted entrance to your event is a sure way to do that. A red carpet is an easy way to lend a hint of old Hollywood glamour – regardless of the formality of the event! It will lend to the overall look and experience, making guests feel as though they are special and creating excitement for what lies in store. Of course, your carpet doesn’t have to be red! Feel free to feature your event or company colors like the grand event entrance done in blue and white below.

Stanchion & Rope

Along with a grand carpet entrance, you’ll want to rent stanchion and rope. Our Chrome Stanchions are a timeless addition that will help you maintain an orderly entrance. It is especially great for events that will require attendees to queue up or that are ticketed.  You will also be able to choose between our Black Velour Rope and Red Velour Rope, depending on the theme or color palette featured at your event.

Vinyl Appliques

When you have a thoughtful theme or event design, vinyl appliques on your event flooring can be a unique way to welcome guests.  Custom appliques can be added to our Black, White or Natural dance floors – doubling as entrance flooring- as part of your grand event entrance. Here we replicated the florals from the event invitation and linen pattern onto floor appliques. Also, consider showing off your new monogram to welcome wedding guests or brand at a product launch.

We love a tented reception for a lot of reasons. The way color looks under sailcloth is near the top of the list. 🌿

Shades that might feel bold indoors take on a whole different quality in filtered natural light — warmer, softer, and somehow exactly right. It's one of those things you have to see in person to fully appreciate.

A hotel ballroom offers a lot — flexible layout, high ceilings, a neutral canvas. What it doesn't offer by default is warmth.

When hosting at a ballroom, the rental selections are what bridge that gap. Texture, color, lighting, and furniture choices determine whether a ballroom feels like a wedding or a conference. It's a distinction worth thinking through early.

Blue and white at @cjsoffthesquare. Simple, bright, and completely right for the space. 💙 An open-air gazebo doesn't need much, just the right colors and enough confidence to let the venue do the heavy lifting.

When the florals are that good, the chairs just need to show up. 🌸 White resin folding chairs in a garden ceremony. Simple, clean, and completely at home at The Cordelle.

Blue and orange is a bold call. This one stuck the landing. 🍊
The difference between a color combination that works and one that doesn't is rarely the colors themselves; it's how you feature them!

Cocktail hour is the part of the event most people plan last. It's usually the part guests remember first. 🥂

Indoor and outdoor setups call for completely different rental decisions — we broke down exactly how to think through both. Link in bio.
