In Style: Blue-Hued Winter Wonderland Parties

Southern Events Products, Trends and Inspiration

velvet blue hued winter event lounge

Winter wonderland parties are where it’s at, with a wintry white color scheme, rows of cozy candles, and lots of twinkling lights. Bring the magic of the outdoors inside when you create a glittering wonderland that is equal parts chic and nostalgic. Learn how you can host a beautiful ice-inspired event with our blue party rentals, from luxe lounge furniture to bold velvet linens.

Elegant Ice-Inspired Serving Ware

Serving up dinner and/or drinks? We’ve got the perfect serving ware for a festive ice-inspired celebration! For a chilly winter vibe, we recommend sticking to silver accented serving ware. Like a Glass Charger with Silver Rim or Silver Round Lacquer Charger. On top, stack crisp White Round China or Earthen Alabaster China, for a softer look. If you prefer to spice things up, our Carrera Marble Dinner Plates are super luxe. Or, consider Onyx Earthen China and Noir Matte Black Flatware for a moody modern touch! When it comes to glassware, go simple. Choose a clear glass that aligns with your style, whether it be our quirky Cybil Champagne Flutes or vintage-inspired Monaco Water Goblets.

Luxe Linens & Seating

Solid foundations are essential for a stylish dinner table. We stock a variety of luxurious linens in an array of colors – blue included! For a modern luxe look, feature bright blue hues such as Ice Blue Poly or Light Blue Pindot. If you prefer a more cozy vibe, consider dark blue linens made of ultra-plush velvet – say a classic Navy Blue or cool London Fog. Just don’t forget napkins! You will also need chairs, which we have a fun selection of. Pair bright fun cocktail tables with Mid-Century White Barstools, for a trendy retro accent. Or go simple and elegant, with our Antique White Bentwood Chairs. Our favorite choice is Acrylic Ghost Armless Chairs. They look like slick ice under the right lighting (don’t worry, they’re much more comfortable)!

Cozy Winter Lounge Areas

Winter events can feel cold without a cozy lounge! We have everything you need to create a stylish space for guests to sit back and relax. Velvet sofas, trendy armchairs, and plush rugs! Start with a focal point, such as a large sofa or loveseat. The Saylor Navy Velvet Sofa is a fan-favorite, as is our Henley Grey Velvet Tufted Sofa. Next, grab a set of stylish chairs, such as the sleek Acrylic Fantasma Side Chairs or retro White Eiffel Arm Chair. Or the accompaniments to the mentioned sofas. You will also need a place for guests to set drinks or appetizers. The Echo Mirror Side Table features bright silver, or opt for the more down-to-earth Wood Distressed Side Table.

Holiday Party Planning Tips (& Bonus Checklist!)

Southern Events Products, Trends and Inspiration

glassware

The key to throwing a successful holiday party (and not throwing your sanity out of the window) is proper preparation. If you’ve ever hosted a holiday party before, you understand how chaotic planning can be. Even then, you may still feel like you’re scrambling trying to get things done at the last minute. This is why we want to treat you to a stress-free holiday party planning experience. Whether you’re hosting an intimate holiday dinner at home or a large formal gala! Check out our tips below on holiday party must-haves, featuring our stylish rentals. Plus, grab our Holiday Party Checklist that will make it easy to execute a jolly affair!

On-Trend Holiday Office Party

Hosting a holiday party at the office can be limiting, but that doesn’t mean it should be boring. Start by adding some color to the office with festive linens in a brilliant Heritage Cranberry or deep Magnolia Green. If you’re serving food, even just appetizers, pass on the paper plates and opt for Gold Accent China paired with matching Gold Austin Flatware. Finally, serve up a DIY Hot Cocoa or Coffee Bar (don’t forget the Baileys!), with our hot beverage dispensers. Alternatively, treat your team to a casual cocktail hour featuring a formal bar and a menu of seasonal cocktails in fancy glassware!

Casual Holiday Luncheon

When hosting a holiday luncheon, chances are you’ll be inviting co-workers, peers, and people you may want to network with. That’s why you’ll want the event to feel approachable, yet still have a formal holiday vibe. In order to achieve this, you’ll want to have coordinating linens such as our Champagne Sequin Linen, Chafing Dishes, and Copper Beverage Service Equipment – to give your holiday party a festive feel. To make sure guests feel welcome and encouraged to mingle, we also recommend a stylish lounge. Our Fern Velvet Sofa and Bamboo Arm Chairs are a chic set!

Feast at a Festive Gala

The holidays are a great time to celebrate in a big way and a grand gala is just the way to thank VIP clients or your team for all they contribute to your company’s success. If you’re hosting a large formal company holiday party, there are a few items you’ll want to make sure you include. A red carpet entrance area sets the scene, as do our Boxwood Walls – emblazoned with your company logo or festival holiday decor. Cocktail and bistro tables are a must for mingling and should be decked out with luxe linens, say Etched Velvet or a shimmery Satin. Then there is the bar, where guests can enjoy their favorite seasonal drinks, from a Hot Toddy to spiked cocoa. We also recommend having formal place settings with china, chargers, and plenty of glassware for toasting the year past and ahead.

At-Home Holiday Soriee

Cozy home holiday parties are a wonderful and intimate way to share seasonal good tidings with family and friends. But these gatherings can stretch the limits of anyone’s kitchen! Whether you need extra plates or forks, serving dishes and platters, or flutes for toasting, we have it all. We even offer a selection of carefully curated Holiday Boxes, packed with all the essentials for creating a stylish holiday tablescape – like the ice-inspired Silver Soiree! We can also elevate your seating, with our Adeline or Harlin Dining Chairs. For an extra luxe look, create an elegant drink display using our rolling Gold Bar Cart. As always, we’re glad to schedule a delivery or pick-up at our Franklin warehouse.

Southern Thanksgiving Table Must-Haves

On Trend, Southern Events Products, Trends and Inspiration

Make your Thanksgiving table extra special this year with specialty china, flatware, linens & decor! At Southern Events, we love nothing more than an aesthetically pleasing and functional tablescape and is why we are proud to offer the latest in modern and stylish rentals. Plus when you rent you get to skip doing the dishes, as all rentals come back to us for full sanitization! Keep reading to get inspired by our southern Thanksgiving table must-haves.

Modern Thanksgiving Look

If you love a trendy modern tablescape, you have to start with our understated Earthen China. These unique dishes are beautiful in and of itself, but especially when paired with contrasting metallic accents. Take for example our Brushed Copper Flatware, which pairs especially well with Onyx & Stone. For a lighter look, opt for Alabaster. For glassware, our Cybil or Pure Glassware are classic for your Thanksgiving dinner.  The sleek Upton Glassware matches perfectly for pre-dinner drinks.

Whimsical Thanksgiving Look

If you want a Thanksgiving tablescape that truly stands out and is memorable, aim for a look that is more whimsical. While we recommend more classic china, such as our Gold Accent China, have fun with the surrounding elements like your centerpieces or napkin holders or ties. Take our Como Flatware, which features a super-unique yet chic handle. For additional color, check out our gorgeous Colored Glassware and various Velvet Napkins. Our favorite colors for Thanksgiving? Driftwood & Spice of course!

Elegant Thanksgiving Table

The most elegant tablescapes are luxe yet often minimalistic. To start, we recommend checking out our stunning Hamlet China, which features intricate gold designs. When paired with a solid or Gold Rimmed Charger you have a perfectly complementary place setting. For drinks, both water & wine, it has to be our Audrey Glassware. Top it all of with our Heritage Napkins and a simple Chiffon Runner for a bright, airy and clean look.

Thanksgiving Service Pieces

Thanksgiving is all about food (except for giving thanks of course!) It’s important that your food looks as good as it tastes. Be sure to display your food in the best way possible, which is easy with our gorgeous selection of serving ware. Our Wyatt Pedestal Cake Stands & Willow Cake Stands make creating a multi-level buffet easy. Meanwhile, our Wood Melamine Tray is a chic option for a tasty pie display. Then there is our elegant Bar Cart which makes serving up drinks a breeze.
