2022 Event Trends | Party & Wedding RentalsOn Trend, Southern Events Products, Trends and Inspiration |

In 2022 we brought a lot of trends to fruition, from micro-weddings and backyard gatherings, to boho and retro-inspired rentals, as well as neutral and earth-toned color palettes. But now it’s time to look to the future! Today we’re going to take a look at some of the anticipated 2022 event trends, so that you can start planning your best gathering yet.
Bridgerton-Inspired Design
We saw a snippet of this trend in 2021, with opulent garden parties. But in 2022, we’re taking it to the next level with set ups inspired by the hit series Bridgerton, also known as Cottagecore. For this event style, we’re expecting pastel-rich color palettes, luxe textures, and vintage-inspired furniture.
Start with memorable tablescapes, featuring unique colors and fun rentals. For example, our Fern or Sea Glass velvet linens, or more decade appropriate Blue Kensington print. Top them off with our mismatched Heirloom China, or break up all the prints with our dainty Darcy China. The best choice for flatware is our versatile Abby or Sophia flatware. Finally, incorporate a splash of texture with our Green or Amber Goblets.


If you’re hosting an accurate event, then you’ll also need an equally impressive cocktail hour setup – high-society gatherings were all about mingling! Rent our Franklin Antique White Bar and a lounge to match. Such as our Fern Velvet Sofa, a set of Everly Chairs, and our Rhodes Coffee and side tables. Cocktail tables are also available for those who prefer to remain standing room!

Sequel Weddings!
Due to a large number of couples postponing their nuptials in 2021, sequel weddings will be a hit in 2022. That is, a big party following an intimate ceremony. Which can also be used following a vow renewal, or any type of post-pandemic celebration. These events will be focused on living in the moment, so they don’t have to be luxe – but they can be!
At these events, we’ll want to help create a small and cozy feel, which can be achieved with soft textures and warm colors. Think earthy, natural tones, like Terra Cotta or Rust. For a ceremony, start with our classic White or Fruitwood Folding Chairs and line the aisle with mismatched cowhide rugs.

For your reception, as well as any other small dinners, you’ll want to create cozy tablescapes and lounge areas where people can gather. Start with one of our beautiful Farm Tables paired with a neutral-colored runner, in Ivory or Natural Sahara. Next, feature simple serving ware, such as our Artisan or Earthen Alabaster China. For some fun pops of color, consider our Amber Goblets and elegant velvet napkins in Spice or Cameo Blush. Easily create a complementary lounge with our Santorini Off-White Sofa and Adeline Dining Chairs.


Mocktails & Sober Cocktails
Wellness is a priority for a large amount of the population at the start of a new year. And to help you and your guests achieve that goal throughout the year, we recommend upping your mocktail game! Which is easy to achieve with our wide selection of gorgeous glassware rentals. For this 2022 event trend, grab some of our favorites, like our Audrey Gold Rim Glassware and Whimsical Cybil Glassware. If you want a more colorful look, go with our Colored Glassware in a Meridian Blue and Smoke.


At Southern Events, we’re excited to help you continue to celebrate with these 2022 event trends! A reminder, however, that as we see an increase in gatherings our rentals will book up faster than ever. Be sure to secure your rentals as soon as possible to ensure that the pieces you love the most will be available at the time of your event. Reach out today, at info@southerneventsonline.com!

In Stock: Natural Luxe Lounge FurnitureOn Trend, Southern Events Products, Trends and Inspiration |

Regardless of the type of event you host, a lounge area (or several) are essential – encouraging guests to sit, sip and mingle. And at Southern Events, we’re making it easier than ever to create a lounge area that is timeless and cozy, with stylish rentals featuring luxe textures, neutral colors, and organic shapes. Take a look at our new natural luxe lounge furniture perfect for your next Middle Tennessee event, from galas to weddings!
Hammered Side & Coffee Tables
Our Hammered Side and Coffee Tables are a gorgeous centerpiece for any lounge area, especially for a cocktail hour. A classic shape and a muted metallic color, they pair well with most any color furniture. We offer both the side and coffee tables in both a beautiful Gold and Pewter color!


Leather Ottoman
We love a cozy ottoman and our Caramel Leather Ottoman is a must-have! A rich chocolatey brown, this stunning leather piece will complement most any furniture. It pairs especially well without Gloria Velvet Armchairs – and always looks stunning atop a cowhide rug.

Grey Tufted Ottoman
If you want to lend a slightly more chic look to your natural luxe lounge furniture set up, opt for our Grey Tufted Ottoman. This super cozy piece features beautiful tufted details in a classic grey color. It’s the perfect piece to use if your other furniture is especially vibrant or colorful.

Charleston Bistro
One of our favorite new pieces, the Charleston Bistro is oh so elegant! It features a stunning gold metallic base and a marble top. It’s essential for a luxe cocktail hour, especially if you’re working with limited space and don’t have enough room for a full lounge area.

Fern & Jaqueline Sofas
The epitome of natural luxe lounge furniture, our velvet sofas will be your new favorites! They feature rich natural colors and ultra-soft textures that will make it hard for your guests to leave. They also feature beautiful tufting – Fern Velvet with classic, and Jaqueline with vertical.


Bamboo Arm Chair
A unique statement piece, our Bamboo Arm Chairs are as comfy as they are stylish. A muted gold, this high back chair features beautiful bamboo details throughout. We recommend pairing it with either our Fern Velvet or Jaqueline Sofas!
