Little Bites (and a cake!)

We’d be remiss not to include a couple of cake stand options – this is a kid’s birthday party after all! We adore these whimsical cake stands for a charming event: Ellie Gold, Willow Pedestal, or Wyatt Cake Stands. Meanwhile, grown-ups can enjoy their cake on our Kate Gold Polka Dot Dessert Plates!

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.

Nashville Baby Guide Launch ~ The Lodge in Franklin

Kid-friendly spaces at events help children feel special while allowing for overall seamless event design. When creating and designing events for clients, we see no reason why the little ones can’t also have adorable areas to sit and eat! From whimsical pink and white chairs to adorably sophisticated cross-back chairs and beyond, we believe matching the kid areas with the rest of the event is a wonderful way to say “ultimate chic”. Check out this previous post for some of our favorite kid-friendly wedding reception rentals.

We recently created a few kid-approved looks for the Nashville Baby Guide Launch Party. If you’re here for sweet pink, charming blue, and trendy flamingos, then you’re in the right place! Pairing our Pink Chiavari Children’s Chair with our classy Fruitwood Children’s Farm Table, we designed inviting spaces for kids to enjoy oops-free meals on our Melamine Dinnerware. The kids’ areas coordinated beautifully with sophisticated adult areas. Hob Nob Glassware and Fuschia Etched Velvet Linens helped hold the playful vibe while staying “grown-up” and chic.

Pro tip: Simple activities such as adorable coloring areas help keep children busy while moms enjoy their “Mom-osas”

While some couples opt for an adults only celebration, many newlyweds enjoy having the entire family in tow for their big days – and we can’t blame them! After all, what’s cuter than an adorable ring bearer or flower girl? With our rentals, it’s easy to make kids feel extra special without compromising your chosen event design and style. Minature sized tables and chairs in a variety of designs allow couples to seamlessly integrate little ones into their big days.

Kids Chairs and Tables

Whatever your event design, we have a Kid’s Chair and Table to match. No, really! Chiavari Chairs in white, brown, and even pink keep your event chic and upscale, while children-sized Cross-back Chairs and Children’s Farm Tables allow you to keep that rustic or boho style. We also have High-Chairs and Booster Seats for your smallest wedding guests.

Melamine Service Pieces

Chic yet durable, our Melamine Service Pieces make it so your event is oops-proof. No need to break out the plastic and other normal kid-proof dinnerware – our collection of sleek and durable Melamine gets the job done and looks beautiful doing so.

Sutton Furniture

Kids are bound to get sleepy, especially at events that last well into the evening. Give them somewhere to take a nap or even call it a night with our comfortable Sutton Furniture. Another big plus: this outdoor friendly collection is waterproof, meaning an accidental spill is no big deal. They’re cozy and stylish and can be configured in multiple different ways – and did we mention the collection comes in two gorgeous colors?
