A new year and new design trends call for new event rentals! In 2023 we expect to see an increase in elevated events that showcase an attention to detail, big and small. Whether you’re planning a bold modern wedding, an intimate birthday bash, or a casual backyard soiree. To help you host a well-thought-out event that will leave a lasting impression on your guests, take a look at our new in-stock event rentals, from luxe linens to sleek serving ware and trendy event furniture.

Stylish Serving Ware + Linens

Modern event tables are bigger and brighter than ever. But rather than featuring intricate serving ware, centerpieces serve as the focal point. Such as large floral arrangements and bold textured linens. Meanwhile, chargers, china, and flatware are sleek and simple. Together, these details lend a perfect balance between minimalism and maximalism! This aesthetic is easy to achieve with our new serving ware & linens. Create a moody neutral table starring our Sahara Runner in White, topped with a Glass Charger with Black Rim and Noir Matte Black Flatware. For a more chic design, try our Sierra Runner in Rose with Georgia China and Fresno Matte Gold Flatware.

Pro Tip: Add a fun splash of color with our velvet napkins in timeless colors like Driftwood or Magnolia.

To help our clients create one-of-a-kind areas that encourage guests to sit, sip and mingle, we’re adding new furniture to our inventory. Including accent tables, plush sofas, and armchairs. Some of our favorite additions are the Marine Navy Velvet Chair and Grey Tufted Ottoman. Both of which look stunning paired with a Hammered Coffee Table, in Pewter or Gold. To stay on top of the trends we have also updated our lounge packages – be sure to take a look to see if any of these curated collections align with your upcoming event.
