When it comes to planning an event, choosing the right furniture can make all the difference. Whether you’re hosting an intimate dinner party at home, a grand corporate gala, or an elegant wedding, the right event furniture sets the tone and ensures your guests feel comfortable and immersed in the ambiance. At Southern Events, we’ve curated a range of stunning event furniture combinations designed to suit any occasion and style. Let’s explore our favorite pairings for every aesthetic, from warm and inviting neutrals to bold, art deco-inspired settings.

Mocha Mousse Mayhem: Warm and Chocolatey Neutrals

Rich, earthy tones are the cornerstone of this style, creating a cozy yet elegant atmosphere. For events that call for timeless warmth and sophistication, we recommend:

• Aged Oak Dining Table paired with Harlin Dining Chairs for a welcoming dining experience.
• A lounge area featuring the Bennett Leather Sofa and Charlotte Chairs, complemented by Charlotte Side Tables for a cohesive look.

This combination is the perfect foundation for an event that exudes a touch of homely elegance. To warm up your table even more, feature a soft Sahara table runner in the neutral shade of your choice along with our Alabaster Earthen China.

Moody Modern: Dark and Dramatic

For those who crave a sleek, modern aesthetic with a hint of drama, the Moody Modern style delivers a luxe edge. Our favorite pieces include:

• The Regent Black Velvet Sofa, Ghost Acrylic armchairs, and Claro Metal Side Tables create a striking lounge area.
• Pair the Collins Black Wood Bar with Hudson Outdoor Bistro Tables and Casper Square Back Acrylic Barstools for a modern cocktail space.
• The Estelle Quarter Round Sofa offers additional seating with a contemporary flair.

This bold furniture set is ideal for black-tie galas or avant-garde weddings. To create extra dimension, consider creating layered duochromatic place settings with rentals featuring black, white, or clear glass.

Contemporary Cottagecore: Soft, Natural, and Minimalist

Romantic prints and natural textures define this dreamy, minimalist style. It should give off a nostalgic feel despite the modern details. For a charmingly understated event:

• Start with the Aged Oak Dining Table and pair it with Antique White Bentwood Chairs for a graceful dining setup.
• A lounge area featuring the Fern Velvet Sofa and Elyza Chairs atop a vintage rug creates a cozy gathering space.

This aesthetic is perfect for garden parties, bridal showers, or outdoor weddings where nature takes center stage. To up the romance, we recommend featuring floral china, such as Emmie or Liana prints. Along with the Lucia Frayed napkins in a subtle shade.

Art Deco Delight: Bold and Flashy

Channel an artsy yet contemporary aesthetic when you combine bold, geometric patterns and luxurious textures. Our top picks for an Art Deco-inspired event are:

• The Chelsea Marble Top Bar paired with Charleston Bistro Tables for a show-stopping cocktail area.
• Lounge seating featuring the Jacqueline Sofa, Farrah Teal Velvet Chairs, and a Gold Hammered Coffee Table–a beautiful mix of vibrant colors and metallic accents.

This style is tailor-made for New Year’s Eve parties, high-end fundraisers, or any event where you want to make a statement. To liven up your event tables, we recommend creating a maximalist table setting with an array of loud colors and prints. 

Elegant Country: Casual Yet Sophisticated

Blend sophistication with a touch of rustic charm for an Elegant Country vibe. Here’s how to achieve it:

• The Aged Oak Dining Table paired with Cross-Back Chairs or a Rustic Bench offers intimate yet versatile dining options.
• A lounge area featuring the Fern Velvet Sofa, Carter Chairs, and the Ellison Coffee Table strikes a balance between elegance and comfort.

This aesthetic is ideal for outdoor weddings, anniversary celebrations, or any event where relaxed sophistication is the goal. To create an added level of coziness, add layers where possible. Such as complement seating with plush pillows and blankets, and topping place setting with soft napkins.

When hosting an event, whether a corporate gathering or a social cocktail hour, creating the perfect setup is key to ensuring your guests have a memorable experience. Cocktail table rentals are a versatile and stylish addition to any event, offering functionality and a touch of elegance. With Southern Events’ diverse selection of tables, barstools, linens, and lounge furniture, you can design a space that’s both practical and visually appealing. Let’s dive into how you can maximize your event’s space and style with our thoughtfully curated inventory.

Why Choose Cocktail Tables for Your Event?

Cocktail tables are ideal for creating a social and dynamic atmosphere. Unlike traditional seating arrangements, these tables encourage mingling and conversation, making them perfect for cocktail parties, networking events, or casual receptions. Their compact size allows you to make the most of your space, whether you’re hosting indoors or outdoors. Plus, cocktail tables pair seamlessly with other event furniture rentals, like barstools and lounge setups, to complete the look.

Southern Events Cocktail Table Collection

At Southern Events, we offer a range of cocktail table rentals to suit any aesthetic. Whether you’re going for sleek modernity or vintage charm, we have the perfect option for you.

Featured Cocktail Tables:

• Charleston Bistro Table: This marble-topped table with a brushed gold finish exudes sophistication, perfect for upscale cocktail parties.
• Hudson Outdoor Bistro Table: Crafted from textural cast aluminum with an antique rust finish, this table is a chic choice for outdoor events.
• Palmer Bistro Table: An elegant solid hardwood pedestal table that pairs beautifully with matching chairs for a classic look.
• Loren Gold Bistro Table: Featuring a gold geometric rectangular base and a glass top, this table adds a contemporary flair to your event.

Elevate Your Setup with Stylish Barstools

Pairing cocktail tables with the right barstools enhances both comfort and style. Our diverse collection offers options to suit any event aesthetic. For a modern touch, our acrylic barstools provide sleek and transparent elegance. For those seeking timeless designs, Chiavari barstools, fit seamlessly into almost any theme. If your event calls for a rustic or vintage vibe, Cross-Back Barstools add charm and character. Lastly, our Mid Century Barstools, offered in black or white, bring a minimalist sophistication to your event design. Each choice is crafted for comfort and functionality, ensuring your guests can relax while mingling.

Add a Pop of Color with Linens

Linens are an essential detail in tying together your cocktail party setup. At Southern Events, we provide a variety of fabrics and colors to match your event’s theme and style. Satin linens in muted shades like Tawny or Stone add an understated elegance. Meanwhile, velvet linens in rich tones like Magnolia, Sea Glass, and Merlot, along with gold-flecked options, bring luxurious texture to your tables. For a natural and cozy vibe, Havana linens in earthy colors like Ecru and Cafe create a warm ambiance. If you’re looking to make a statement, consider our luxe prints, such as Ivory Pearl Shalimar or Gold Furrow. Either of these will add visual interest and sophistication.

Create a Lounge Area for Extra Comfort

While cocktail tables encourage mingling, a lounge area provides a comfortable spot for guests to relax. Incorporating party lounge furniture like sofas, armchairs, and coffee tables adds depth and dimension to your event layout. It’s a great way to break up the space while offering a cozy area for quieter conversations. You can mix-and-match our rentals to create your own look, or keep planning simple when you choose from one of our curated lounge areas!

The warm hues of autumn create an atmosphere that’s as mysterious as it is inviting. For a fall corporate event hosted by the Wedding Industry Professionals Association (WIPA) at CJ’s Off the Square, these themes came to life in an outdoor setting, proving that the season offers endless inspiration for sophisticated gatherings. This event, titled “An Enchanted Autumnal Affair,” was designed to evoke the season’s beauty while embracing the timeless aesthetic of dark academia. From intimate seating arrangements to a bar serving bespoke cocktails, every detail was curated to create an unforgettable experience.

Crowd-Pleasing Seating

At the heart of the event was a presentation area thoughtfully designed for speakers and announcements. Drawing inspiration from dark academia’s scholarly roots, this space featured rows of Black Willow Chairs. Their sleek lines and deep tones perfectly complemented the moody theme, for example. Similarly, the front of the house consisted of the cozy Regent Black Velvet Sofa and Adeline Dining Chairs. Anchoring the space was a Clear Acrylic Podium, offering a modern, understated touch. Its transparent design allowed it to seamlessly blend with the overall decor while maintaining focus on the speakers.

Autumnal Flavors Meet Sophistication

The bar area was a true highlight of the event, blending the warmth of fall with the sophistication of bespoke cocktails. Guests were treated to a curated drink menu featuring signature beverages, each served in vintage-inspired glassware. Such as our Gatsby Coupe and Monaco Champagne Glasses. Additionally, the Chelsea Bar embraced dark academia aesthetics – deep gold with a marble top, flanked by floral arrangements in deep autumnal hues. As a result, this stylish yet functional space became a hub for conversation and connection, embodying the cozy sophistication of an evening of academics.

Cozy Lounge Areas for Cool Evenings

Lounge areas scattered throughout the event provided guests with inviting spaces to relax and enjoy the evening. Central to these areas were glowing fire pits that not only offered warmth but also created a soft, enchanting ambiance. Surrounding the fire pits were seating arrangements featuring velvet sofas and rattan armchairs. Elevated by a set of gold, mirror-topped accent tables. As a result, each lounge area felt like a private retreat, blending the charm of a quiet library with the magic of a crisp autumn evening.

Simply Elegant Cocktail Areas

The cocktail areas were strategically placed to encourage mingling and interaction among guests while staying true to the event’s aesthetic. The Charleston and Palmer Bistro Tables were decorated with seasonal centerpieces and moody lighting. Providing stylish yet practical surfaces for guests to rest their drinks and plates. Armchairs were also incorporated, offering a more relaxed seating option for those who preferred to linger. In effect, these pieces ensured that each space was as functional as it was visually stunning.

This enchanted autumnal affair demonstrated how the magic of fall and the sophistication of dark academia can create an unforgettable event. If you’re inspired by this event and want to bring a similar aesthetic to your next gathering, contact us at Southern Events. Let us help you craft an experience that’s uniquely yours!

Winter may not always bring us snow in the South, but that won’t stop us from creating our own winter wonderland! From gleaming white china to soft linens and cozy lounge furniture, an all-white winter event design is the perfect way to embrace the season’s elegance. So let’s dream up a snowy celebration that will leave your guests enchanted! We have the perfect rentals to fit the theme, from chairs to china to linens. Keep following along for oodles of inspiration for your magical snowy event.

Dazzling White China

Dinnerware plays a crucial role in setting the tone for an event, signaling to guests the level of formality and style they’ll experience. At Southern, we have a wide variety of white china options to fit your eye-catching, all-white theme.

If your style is organic and bohemian, our Earthen Alabaster china is a beautiful choice. It leans more casual than some of our other dishware options, but the right linen pairing can certainly elevate it. It has a slightly off-white color and a matte finish—perfectly natural, grounded, and sophisticated.

If you prefer something a bit more regal, try our Darcy china. This dishware choice has a shinier finish and scalloped edges. Due to its beautiful Victorian shape, it fits in nicely with luxurious and formal decor.

Need something in between? Our White Coupe china is perfectly traditional, and it can work in just about any setting! It’s our most versatile china collection.

Always In Charge

After you’ve chosen the china for your event, add a charger! Our Darcy collection includes matching chargers. We also have a stunning, simple porcelain charger that works well with a variety of china patterns. Finally, if you want to add a little extra sparkle to your decor, try our Silver Round Lacquer charger. We know it’s silver, not white, but we won’t tell if you don’t! A little bit of glimmer can never hurt, and it’ll make the white dishes pop.

Elegant White Linens

Next, let’s add some white linens to the mix. For our more bohemian brides and hosts, we recommend a textured Havana linen or a gathered Sahara runner. For our more opulent brides and hosts, we recommend a white satin or velvet. We even have some textured options like pindot, shimmer, or etched linens.

Stylish White Chairs

Your choice of chairs also plays a huge role in your celebration’s overall aesthetic. We offer a few different white chairs, but consider the venue and backdrop when making your selection. Our white Bentwood chairs are stunning, but they give a rustic, antique vibe. Contrast that with our white Chiavari chairs, which look more lavish and sleek. If neither of these jumps out at you, try a ghost chair! Our see-through acrylic options like the Carrigan chair blend right into the background of your space.

If you want to create a spot for lounging and mingling, we have a couple of lovely, on-theme lounge sofas to choose from. Explore our Estelle, Everly, and Sloan styles—all are equally soft and fashionable, so you can’t go wrong!

Accents and Accessories

Here are just a few more rental items and ideas to help you pull off your timeless winter wonderland!

• Rent a white beverage shelf to display custom cocktails or seasonal treats!
• Try a champagne tower if you have special toasts planned. This works well at both social and corporate events.
• Roll out the white carpet for your VIPs! Our white runners make great aisles for weddings. 
• Experiment with all-white florals like roses, peonies, calla lilies, and orchids. There are many beautiful flowers in this category, so be sure to discuss which ones are in season with your florist.

With all these dreamy white rentals, you’ll have everything you need to create your own winter wonderland—no snow required! From elegant china to cozy lounge furniture, each piece brings a little sparkle to your big day. So go ahead, embrace the magic of all-white winter event design, and let’s make some Southern winter dreams come true! Contact us today to start designing your event.

Rectangular Fire Pits

A fire pit can be used to create a social area, as well as a space for guests to warm up. Our Rectangular Fire Pit is also the perfect place to toast some s’mores, or create an interactive s’mores bar! Be sure to grab our Regent Black Velvet Sofa, our Chocolate Poufs, or other outdoor seating of your choice, to create a comfy seating area.

Tents

Unpredictable weather is just a part of the season! Rain can pop up unexpectedly, making it all the more important that you have a tent on hand and in place. Our current tent packages were created with your needs in mind, and include enough furniture for any size party.

Portable Heaters

Planning to host a late-night event? Temperatures will drop, and we want you to be fully prepared. Our Blowing-Style Heater is a must-have, whether or not you set it up from the get-go. It will help your guests stay warm and prevent the party from ending early!

Lounge Furniture

Our Sutton Lounge Package in the Mediterranean shade is super cozy, in addition to being a lovely pop of color for an autumnal event. We love this piece for a casual social hour, or for a backyard movie night. If you plan on serving food or drinks, be sure to rent the matching ottomans as well.

Alternatively, velvet lounges like the Henley Sofa bring a touch of warmth and luxury to any outdoor cold-weather event, creating an inviting atmosphere for guests to settle in and relax. The soft fabric not only looks elegant but also adds a layer of comfort that’s perfect for chilly evenings. Add a rug, side tables, throw pillows, and a few comfy blankets!

For example, the Gastby Coupe or Amber Deco Tumblers!

Cozy Outdoor Lounge Furniture

Encourage your guests to relax and enjoy the crisp fall weather with our cozy outdoor lounge furniture. Our collection includes plush sofas, comfortable armchairs, and elegant coffee tables, all designed to create a welcoming lounge area. The Jacqueline or Fern Velvet Sofas are always a hit this time of year, featuring a buttery velvet material and rich colors. They pair beautifully with our Bamboo or Adeline Arm Chairs.

Event planning brings a refreshing shift towards a less-is-more philosophy in 2024! Embracing the essence of minimalism, event designers are choosing quality over quantity. Focusing on elements that make a lasting impact without overwhelming the senses. And Southern Event Rentals is here to help you embrace the trend and champion the art of curated simplicity. Explore our range of in-stock rentals to discover how you can seamlessly incorporate the latest in 2024 event design trends into your upcoming celebrations.

Linens with Whimsy

Gone are the days of elaborate and cluttered centerpieces vying for attention. Instead, 2024 encourages a playful embrace of whimsical linens to set the stage for a vibrant event. Picture bright and wonderful prints that effortlessly contrast with simple serving ware. For example, our Labella Pink and Somerset Blue are subtle designs that give big Bridgerton vibes, perfect for an elegant spring soiree. Meanwhile, Blue Floral and Cerise Kensington is more punchy and perfect for summer! On the other hand, romantic runners allow simple wood furniture to shine and exude softness – we’re loving our Sahara Runners in Indigo, Sage, and Rust. These linens not only add a pop of personality but also eliminate the need for chaotic centerpieces and unnecessary filler, allowing guests room to breathe.

Serving Ware that Elevates

Quality serving ware is a silent yet powerful player in the symphony of event design. It’s a tactile detail that can make or break the overall aesthetic of a table. Clean and simple is an easy choice, especially in contrast to busy printed linens. However, china adorned with timeless prints and subtle pops of color is equally striking and looks stunning atop a bold tablecloth. Likewise, our Cabo China comes in beautiful shades of Blue and Marigold, lending a chic coastal vibe. Meanwhile, Liana in a rich green is a modern twist on a vintage print. Textured chargers and colored glassware further enhance the visual appeal! Try the Rattan White Wash or Scalloped Wood Charger for added texture. Or allude to eras past with our pastel Amalia or Deco Glassware.

Clutter-Free Bars 

Simplicity extends beyond aesthetics to the culinary domain. That is to say, steer away from the temptation to stock every conceivable beverage option. Instead, focus on creating a thoughtful menu featuring signature drinks presented in eye-catching glassware. Such as our contemporary Cybil or sleek Upton Glassware! Instead, for a hassle-free approach, consider batch cocktails or mocktails elegantly displayed in beverage dispensers. This will help streamline serving for a more seamless experience. Moreover if you choose a bar of the appropriate style and size. For example, our expansive Thompson White Bar Collection. Or perhaps the likes of our smaller Collins Black Wood Bar. To match a theme, check out the sophisticated Alice Bar or retro-inspired Chelsea Marble Top Bar.

Home-Like Lounges

Hotel vibes are taking a backseat in 2024! With event designers prioritizing the creation of cozy spaces that mimic the warmth of home. Southern Event Rentals always encourages planners to prioritize functionality over aesthetics in lounge areas. Picture accent tables strategically placed for guests to comfortably rest their drinks, appetizers, and handbags. This deliberate design fosters an intimate and relaxed atmosphere. Encouraging guests to connect and enjoy the event in a more personal setting. If you need inspiration, take a look at our curated collections, such as the Ellison Lounge. Or, mix and match to create a custom seating area featuring sofas (Sloan is a current fave). Along with armchairs and an ottoman or two. Top it off with a rug for a cohesive and refined look.

A commitment to curated simplicity reflects a deeper understanding of the evolving preferences of event-goers. Ensuring that every gathering is a memorable experience! Contact our team today at info@southerneventsonline.com to book an appointment in our showroom. We’d be happy to help incorporate these 2024 event design ideas into your celebration!

When it comes to winter weddings, there’s a certain magic in the air! Embracing the simplicity and sophistication of the season, consider a black and white color scheme. Whether you’re planning a formal gathering or a more relaxed event. The juxtaposition of these classic hues will lend a timeless look to your day! At Southern Events, we believe that creating a cohesive and beautiful atmosphere is key. That’s why we’re excited to share our favorite ideas for a modern black and white winter wedding, featuring our exquisite event rentals.

Simple Winter Wedding Ceremony Decor

Picture this: saying “I do” surrounded by simple yet stunning decor. We’re talking elegant seating with glowing candles or white floral arrangements placed atop Antique White Columns at the altar. At Southern Events, we have a beautiful inventory of chairs that will make your ceremony pop without stealing the show. Such as our Antique White Bentwood Chairs, bold Black Resin Folding Chairs, or modern Acrylic Ghost Armless Chairs. For a little extra coziness, line the aisle with mismatched black and white rugs. Keep it simple, keep it classy – that’s the secret sauce!

Black & White Wedding Tables

Now, let’s create a modern black and white wedding reception – where the magic really happens. Depending on whether you prefer a bright or moody look, start with crisp white or black tablecloths. They’re like a blank canvas ready for you to get creative with place settings (whereas the Black Nova Linens are perfect for fans of maximalism). Thankfully, Southern Events has a treasure trove of tableware and linens that’ll let you mix and match to create a vibe that’s all you. To contrast a white tablecloth, stack Glass Chargers with Black Rim, Onyx Earthen China or Carrera Marble Dinner Plates, and Noir Matte Black Flatware. Whereas on top of black, you might feature our Black Round Lacquer Chargers, White Coupe China, and Bradley Flatware.

Moody Cocktail Hour Ideas

Time to transition to the celebration! Picture a moody cocktail hour – dim lights, sleek black and white lounge furniture, and high cocktail tables with chic black linens. For a memorable entrance, greet guests with a custom Harpeth Bar or snazzy Collins Black Wood Bar. Large crowds may require our Thompson Full Oval White Bar. However, any of these will look stunning paired with a Black Barback Shelves. And don’t forget signature black and white cocktails in dazzling glassware. Such as our popular Gatsby Coupe Glasses or contemporary Cybil Goblets. Finally, create some cozy spaces to mingle, whether you prefer lofty bistro tables or lounges. Our Black Mid-Century and Acrylic Square Back Barstools are a dream. As is our Estelle Quarter Round Sofa and the Regent Black Velvet Sofa with accent tables. Add in some black and white throw pillows or blankets to keep it cozy yet oh-so-cool.

Get ready to welcome 2024 in style with our guide to hosting a dazzling soirée featuring bold metallic details that ooze luxury.

Serving Ware that Shines

Make a statement from the moment your guests arrive with serving ware that sparkles and shines. Elevate your dining experience by opting for metallic flatware, gold-rimmed glassware, and eye-catching chargers that exude sophistication. We offer a curated selection of metallic serving pieces that will not only impress your guests but also elevate the overall aesthetic of your New Year’s Eve feast. If you prefer gold, create a timeless stack using the Glass Charger with Gold Rim and Ophelia China with Austin Gold Flatware. For those who love silver, its easy to achieve an elegant table with a Silver Round Lacquer Charger and Carrera Marble Dinner Plates or Glass China. Complete the place setting with our classic Brooklyn or elegant Abby Flatware. Alternatively, metallic flatware will POP against bold linens! Just like this Brushed Copper Flatware on top of Black Linens and Onyx China.

Shimmering Event Linens

A subtle detail that can elevate any table is the right choice of linens. Drape your tables with shimmering tablecloths in gold, silver, or metallic hues to create a luxurious foundation. Consider the Silver White Leaf or Silver Furrow linens for an elegant icy look. If you aren’t afraid to go big and bold, the solid Gold Gold Fairmount or Victorian Luxe Gold are a striking choice! Meanwhile, the Gold Furrow Linens are more subtle. Lastly, dark linens will beautifully contrast bright china. Such as our popular Grey Nova with soft swirls of silver and gold. The play of light on these textured linens will create a captivating atmosphere. Ensuring your guests remember this New Year’s Eve celebration for years to come.

Furniture that Wows

Stylish metallic furniture rentals for New Year’s Eve that wow? Southern has you covered! We offer a range of metallic-finished chairs, and accent pieces that will add a touch of glamour to your party space. A classic choice for New Year’s dinners or galas is our Gold Chiavari Chairs. You might also consider incorporating gold and silver furniture pieces throughout lounge areas. One of our favorite ways to achieve this is with accent tables. We have beautiful standalone pieces like the Blanche or Avalon Round Coffee Table. Or sets, such as our favorite Echo Mirrored Side Tables. Your guests will appreciate the attention to detail as they lounge in comfort and style. Or, keep it simple when you feature our Charleston Bistro Table or the larger Loren Gold Bistro Table.

Sparkling Barware

No New Year’s Eve party is complete without a well-stocked bar, and what better way to showcase your libations than with a sparkling bar area? Elevate your drink service with metallic glassware, including the Celia Gold Rim. Served from the contemporary Cheslea Marble Top Bar. To ensure your beverage station not only serves top-notch drinks but serves as a visual centerpiece, store your glassware or bottles on the Gold Avenue Bar Back Shelf. Another option is to create a self-service drink station with hot beverages. Our Silver Coffee Urns are perfect for dishing out coffee or hot chocolate following dinner.

Choosing bold and gold metallic rentals for New Year’s Eve is a surefire way to set the stage for a prosperous and stylish year ahead.
