The holiday season is a time of joy, togetherness, and celebration. Whether you’re hosting an intimate family dinner or a grand holiday soiree, creating an inviting atmosphere is key to making your gathering memorable. One way to achieve this is by incorporating rentals that transform your space into a winter wonderland. Keep reading to explore some holiday event rentals from Southern Events that will make for a festive get-together and impress your guests.

Festive Event Linens

When it comes to setting the stage for the holidays, the choice of table linens can make all the difference. To create an atmosphere of elegance and charm, consider using bright linens that set a sophisticated tone. Our Silver White Leaf linens exude timeless beauty, making them a perfect choice for those who appreciate classic elegance. Another option are the Heritage Light Blue linens. A soft seasonal color that will bring a touch of calm and festivity to your table. Moreover, our velvet linens offer the ultimate luxury and are available in an array of festive shades. Like Magnolia Green and Scarlet Red! As well as icy neutral shades like London Fog.

Elegant Holiday Place Settings

Crafting an inviting and modern ambiance for your holiday gathering involves more than just decor. It’s also about the finer details, like your place settings. Consider incorporating metallic-accented serving ware to add a touch of glamour to your table. Our Glass Charger with Silver Rim and Carrera Marble Dinner Plates offer a timeless look. Additionally, try the Gold Round Laquer Charger with Athena China and Austin Flatware. Or, for a modern flair, pair the Copper Glass Charger with Earthen Alabaster China and Brushed Copper Flatware. On the other hand, take a look at our all-black holiday event rentals. A moody yet modern look is a unique color scheme for a corporate or formal affair! From chargers that gleam to flatware that shimmers under the warm holiday lights, these elements can elevate the aesthetics of your tables and leave a lasting impression on your guests.

Eye Catching Barware

A well-stocked and beautifully presented bar is the centerpiece of any memorable holiday gathering. To ensure your cocktail hour stands out, it’s essential to pay attention to your barware. We recommend that you opt for unique glassware. Specifically to serve up your signature seasonal cocktails. Our contemporary Cyblil Glassware and elegant Gatsby Coupe Glasses are excellent choices. Whereas the Meridian Blue Tumblers or Celia Gold Rim Glassware will make a statement. However, you can make an even bigger impression when you put your bar menu on display. Or, add a touch of glamour to your holiday gathering with the Gold Bookcase or White Barback Shelf.

Cozy Holiday Party Lounges

Creating cozy lounge areas within your event space can make your guests feel at home and encourage relaxation and conversation. That is to say, these spaces are perfect for intimate gatherings! Achieve a welcoming ambiance when you pair our Fern Velvet Sofa with Gold Bamboo Arm Chairs. Comparatively, feature the Saylor Navy Velvet Sofa and Arm Chairs. A beautiful choice to complement a winter theme. In addition, elevate your lounge areas with tables, where guests can set light bites and drinks. Such as with the Echo Silver Metal Accent Tables, which will lend to a bold icy aesthetic! For larger gatherings, the versatile Pearce Modular Lounge allows you to customize the lounge area to fit your space and guest list.

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.

Moody Metallic Tables

So you’re hosting a seated dinner? Creating a moody modern New Year’s table is a breeze! Black is the color of choice for this celebration, but we like to add luxe touches where we can! The easiest way is serving ware featuring metallic accents – plates, glassware, flatware. Start with a set of our elegant tablecloths, in a solid black or with a subtle pattern, like Black Nova. If you prefer a brighter but equally elegant linen, Gold Furrow is a stunner. Top it off with a stack of china. Such as a Gold, Silver, or Black Rim Glass Charger and any of our Earthen Dinner Plates. Choose serving ware that complements existing metallics, whether it be our Gold Austin Flatware, Brooklyn Flatware, or Brushed Copper Flatware. For a spunky touch, include some fun modern glassware – Cybil or blue-hued Meridian Tumblers.

Cozy Countdown Lounge

A lounge (or two) are a must-have for New Year’s Eve. It will be a long night and to keep guests cozy you need a space where they can sit, sip, and mingle to their heart’s content! Our favorite modern moody setup starts with Regent Black Velvet Sofa and a set of Acrylic Ghost Arm Chairs. Pair it with our Capriano Marble and Copper Accent Tables, or a similar set. Another alternative is our Modular Pearce Lounge, which can be arranged as desired to fit your event space. Be sure to surround it with some layered rugs for an extra cozy vibe! For larger parties, we recommend adding in a sprinkling of bistro tables and barstools near the bar area.

Perfect Bar for Toasts

Speaking of bars, you will want one – whether you are serving cocktails or mocktails! Our Black Franklin Bar is a classic staple which you can accessorize with our Avenue Bar Back Shelving. Here you can stock bottles or display fanciful glassware. For smaller gatherings, grab our Gold Bar Cart for storage or a beverage service. When it comes to choosing glassware, you’ll want to offer an array of choices. Start with Gatsby Champagne Coupes for toasting. And Upton Glassware for bourbon or mocktails! If you’d like to wow guests with a champagne tower, our White 6-Tier Serving Tower is a must-have!

Soft & Moody Event Lighting

Candlelight sets the perfect mood for midnight festivities. Create intimate centerpieces using our Davis Glass Cylinders filled with candles and surrounded by a soft runner or greenery. Or feature votives in our Acrylic Rectangle Container. To warm up lounge areas, strategically scatter Oversized Lanterns. We have a variety of styles to choose from to complement different themes! Another fun option is to cozy up around our Hammered Rectangle Fire Pit! Just be sure to supply some plush pillows and afghans or blankets.

Luxe Linens in Every Shade

Linens are undoubtedly our favorite way to feature color at a holiday event. And for the holidays the options are endless! If you’re looking for linens to complement your modern vintage rentals, consider those that feature a subtle pattern. Our Ivory Pearl Shalimar and Victoria Gold Luxe Linens ooze luxury and would complement any neutral-colored place setting. Meanwhile, a solid shade will look gorgeous with more intricate serving ware. Such as our Scarlet Red Velvet or Magnolia Green Velvet Linens. As always, don’t forget napkins! Contrast a bold or patterned tablecloth with classic white or ivory napkins.

Vintage-Inspired Servingware

There is a charm to vintage-inspired serving ware that is perfect for the holidays! It lends a subtle sense of nostalgia that also happens to perfectly suit a modern vintage theme. Our inventory of servingware includes a range of pieces that can be used to create a stylish holiday tablescape. Either for a casual at-home soiree or for a formal corporate gathering.

To achieve this look you want to find a balance between simple pieces and those with ornate details. For example, pair plain White Round China with a Gold Rim Glass Charger and Abby Flatware. Or, feature a White Round Porcelain Charger with our ornate Ophelia China and modern Gold Austin Flatware. Choosing glassware is especially fun, with options like our Audrey Gold Rim, Monaco, and Pure Glassware.

Cozy Holiday Lounge Areas

Lounging is what you do at holiday parties. Whether you’re in a post-feast coma or simply need somewhere to sit and sip on a tasty seasonal cocktail. We have the perfect modern vintage rentals to create a stunning seating setup, whether you prefer a set of sofas or an armchair or two. Start with a rug featuring a vintage design to frame the space, adding a touch of warmth. Then choose your seating, such as our Fern Velvet and Bennett Leather Sofa. Either of these are stunning with our Bamboo Arm Chairs or White Eiffel Arm Chairs. Finish the look with a set of Gold Hammered Coffee Tables, where guests can set their drinks and appetizers.

The key to throwing a successful holiday party (and not throwing your sanity out of the window) is proper preparation.

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. 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 curated rentals, Styled by Southern, 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.
