The newest addition, our Aged Oak Dining Table is a classic choice for any event and will lend a down-to-earth vibe.

Modern Black and White Wedding at Diamond Creek

Events and Style Shoots, On Trend, Trends and Inspiration

modern black and white wedding

Nothing beats the classic elegance of black-and-white wedding design! This timeless color combination is perfect for any season and creates a sleek and sophisticated ambiance for your big day. Get inspired by a styled shoot hosted at Diamond Creek Farm, featuring stylish event rentals from Southern Events Online. From chic acrylic seating to bold linens, we have everything you need to host an elevated black-and-white wedding.

Simple Chic Ceremony

For this styled shoot, we aimed to showcase the beauty of a modern black-and-white wedding. Starting with an elegant outdoor ceremony! Hosting outdoors is all about letting nature shine. At Diamond Creek, this entails the sprawling Tennessee farmlands. Just past the veranda, a manicured lawn overlooking the countryside is a fitting setting for a vow exchange. Ceremony seating consisted of our Acrylic Ghost Armless Chairs. The clear material is chic and it doesn’t take away from the view. The outdoor space is elevated with a floral backdrop made of white flowers and dark greenery. An equally stunning alternative, consider our Fiona Mantle with the same flower arrangement. Off to the side, a bistro table is dressed up with Black Nova Linens for a live painter.

Luxe Black and White Lounge

An elegant black and white lounge area with some grey accents is the perfect addition to any wedding. An essential for a cocktail hour! This type of setup creates a chic and sophisticated space for guests to relax and socialize in. Start with our luxurious Henley Grey Velvet Tufted Sofa and the matching Armchairs. To frame the space we always recommend a rug, and in this case, our Black-Silver Rug is perfect. It pairs beautifully with a set of Echo Mirror Silver Side Tables. If you like a little contrast, place a Gold Hammered Coffee Table in the center. Or you can keep to the color scheme and opt for pewter.

Contemporary Tablescape

The table was set with a stunning combination of black-and-white elements. We used a Grey Goose tablecloth as the base, complemented by a romantic Dove Grey Table Runner. The use of soft grey linens allowed the pure white flower centerpieces to shine! On top, we placed Glass Chargers with a Black Rim and Earthen Onyx China to create contrast. Matched by Noir Matte Black Flatware and solid Black Poly Napkins. Cybil Wine Glasses and Champagne flutes were a fun and funky addition that lent a contemporary flair. Complete with the same acrylic seating from the ceremony, this tablescape exudes modern luxury. Thanks to the natural palette it is also versatile! It would look just as beautiful for a minimalist celebration in a modern event barn as it would for a black-tie wedding in a grand ballroom.

In Stock: Unique Outdoor Party Decor and Props

Southern Events Products, Trends and Inspiration

Outdoor parties are the perfect way to celebrate any occasion, from birthdays and weddings to corporate events and backyard gatherings. To make your event truly special, consider renting unique outdoor party decor and props that will create a memorable experience for your guests. Take a look at some of our unique inventory items, perfect for creating fun focal points, stylish backdrops, food and drink displays, or social areas, that are sure to impress.

Photo-Worthy Outdoor Party Decor & Backdrops

Every event needs a photo backdrop! A place where guests can snap a photo as a keepsake or share it on social media. The Fiona Ivory Mantle is a beautiful and versatile piece of decor. Whether it is placed against a wall or standalone, it can also be used as a backdrop or a fun focal point. Adorn the mantle with flowers and the base with lanterns, and it is perfect as a backdrop for opening presents at a birthday or baby shower. An equally stunning option is our Wrought Iron Arch. It would look stunning for a garden party, whether you choose to feature it as an entryway to hang a banner. For a more elegant look, weave our Chiffon Runner or fresh flowers through the metal lattice!

Outdoor Drink & Food Displays

One of our favorite ways to make a statement at any event is with a stylish drink or food display. It’s a simple but effective way to elevate a buffet area or to serve up favors to guests! The most popular piece in our inventory of outdoor party decor is our whiskey barrels, with an acrylic or barn wood top. It’s the perfect makeshift bar or grazing table! But you can also use it in tandem with a variety of our cake stands to create a multi-level display of appetizers or desserts. Or create a stylish buffet when you mix and match our beverage dispensers and chafing dishes.

A close second to any of our whiskey barrel bars is our Market Cart. Simple and bright white, it is a chic piece ideal for baby and bridal showers! Use this piece as a welcome area for a ticketed event, as a designated space for presents, or to place favors for guests to grab as they are exiting. If you would prefer a prop with space for custom signage, for a birthday party or themed event, opt for a Ticket Booth.

If you’re hosting a wedding, anniversary, or corporate event, champagne is a must! Toast to another year, or a year of big achievements, with a trendy champagne tower. You can create a beautiful tablescape with any of our linens and a tower created using our Gatsby Champagne Coupes. Or, if you aren’t a fan of a glass tower, feature our White 6-Tier Serving Tower. Sleek and modern, it will make hosting a toast a breeze!

Trendy Outdoor Lounge Areas

Want a focal point for your event that is not just aesthetic? You need a lounge area – maybe two! We stock a large variety of trendy sofas, armchairs, accent tables, and rugs to create a lounge area that is as beautiful as it is comfortable. Start with any of our sofas, like our classic Bennett Leather or the retro-inspired Fern Velvet. Armchairs will increase the amount of seating available, as will any of our poufs or ottomans. If your lounge is being used during a cocktail hour with drinks or light bites, be sure to grab a set of accent tables. And, finally, don’t overlook a rug; whether you prefer cowhide or vintage. It will beautifully frame the space, whereas without one it can leave your lounge feeling incomplete.

On Trend | Corporate Events With Unique Themes

On Trend, Southern Events Products

glassware for rent for grand opening event

As the weather warms up there is no better time to host a corporate event. Blue skies and sunshine open up a world of possibilities in terms of creative entertainment and event design. At Southern Events Party Rentals Online, we have a little something for every occasion and celebration! From stylish cocktail hour essentials to cozy event lounges. Perfect for toasting an anniversary, thanking partners and clients, or treating your employees. Get inspired by these unique corporate event themes, perfect for the spring and summer seasons!

Spring Has Sprung

The season of new beginnings, spring is a fitting time to treat your employees to a party that will leave them feeling reenergized. This is one of the more simple corporate event themes, yet it is sure to be a memorable event. We recommend hosting outdoors, to make the most of the seasonal foliage – think of it as natural decor! Scatter a mix of bistro and round tables on the lawn, dressed up with Peaches N’ Cream Poly and our elegant Harlin Dining Chairs. For additional seating, feature a chic neutral lounge area made up of our Bennett Leather Sofa, Adeline Dining Chairs, Chocolate Poufs, and a Navy Rug. To encourage guests to stay awhile, provide them with a stocked Franklin Antique White Bar and grazing boards served up on Wood Melamine Trays.

Off to the Races

The Kentucky Derby may only last two minutes, but it is a highly anticipated and celebrated sporting event. In terms of themed corporate events, there is no better time to host a party. Running with existing events or holidays makes it easier than ever to piece together a theme, and a high-class Derby Party is one of our personal favorites. Start with stylish bistro tables, like a classic bistro table dressed up with Cherry Red Poly Linens. Or the Loren Gold Bistro Table with a Black and White Striped Runner and Acrylic Ghost Barstools. Place an artificial grass rug beneath them for a fun spring touch! A fully stocked bar is essential – try Harpeth customized with your business logo. Classic glassware, like Mint Julep Cups and Davis Rocks Glass, is perfect for serving up bourbon-based cocktails.

Upscale Summer BBQ

A simple but always exciting event theme idea is a classic summer BBQ. A backyard BBQ is fitting for a casual celebration, say an employee appreciation day or even ‘just because’. You don’t need a reason to get together and grill out! Set up picnic tables with Red & White Check Linens. If kids are attending, check out our children’s furniture. For some contrast, feature our Earthen Onyx China and crisp White Napkins. Should you need serving trays, check out our family-style serving pieces. Whether you want a self-serve bar or food display, opt for our Whiskey Barrel Barnwood Bar. For added colors, a mix of vintage rugs will create an extra cozy vibe! Moreso should you feature a fire pit surrounded by poufs and rustic benches.

Black and White Party

If you are hosting an elegant corporate party, you can’t go wrong with a black and white event theme. A grayscale color palette will also make it incredibly easy to put together a cohesive look. Start with classic bistro tables outfitted in our beautiful Black Nova Linens, paired with Mid Century Black Barstools. If you’ll be toasting to the occasion, you’ll need a stylish bar and glassware to match. Our Black Franklin Antique Bar is a bold choice, as is a White 6-Tier Serving Tower. Should you need additional storage space, be sure to grab a set of barback shelves in black or white. For glassware, take a look at our Cybil Champagne Glasses or trendy coupe glasses.

Sweet Southern Brunch Party at CJ’s Off the Square

Events and Style Shoots, Southern Events Products, Trends and Inspiration

southern brunch party at cjs off the square

Who doesn’t love a fabulous brunch?! Maybe that is why more than ever, people are centering their celebrations around this popular mealtime. From baby showers to bridal showers and weddings, brunch is a memorable way to mark a milestone. As well as a good excuse to break out the bubbles! The garden at CJ’s Off the Square has all the inspiration needed for hosting a sweet southern brunch party, featuring vintage-inspired rentals and classic serving ware pieces.

Set the Scene

If you’ve ever enjoyed brunch then you know that the goal is to create a setting that is sophisticated yet casual. A space where people feel special, enjoying a decadent meal. With this in mind, your tablescape is key. We love starting off with tables dressed in bright linens, such as Blush Shimmer. For a fun extra layer, top it off with a textured runner or overlay. For seating, our Acrylic Carrigan Side Chair will bring a modern contemporary touch – as will any of our acrylic seating options.

As with any brunch, fresh floral centerpieces are required! Place bright or neutral-colored blooms in our elegant Square Glass Vases. If you’re hosting a large party, it doesn’t hurt to throw a few bistro tables into the mix!

Then Set the Table!

Of course, the real star of a southern brunch party is the food! For which you’ll need to create an impressive tablescape. One of our favorite ways to create a memorable table is by featuring serving ware with textures. Start with our White Wash Rattan Charger, stacked with our dainty Darcy China and Darcy Bone China Charger. These pieces are the perfect combination of old and new! Pair it with our Abby Flatware, or Austin Flateware if you prefer gold.

To complete the place setting you’ll also need glassware, for a variety of popular brunch-themed beverages. A water goblet is always essential, and our Hob Nob Goblet is a stunner. It also pairs beautifully with our Heirloom Tea Cups and Saucers, for a quaint vintage touch for serving hot coffee or tea. For an especially well-thought-out table, you might also feature a Silver Coffee/Tea Server. Along with a matching Carson Silver Cream and Sugar Set, it will be a fun classically southern detail.

Create a Chic Lounge

It’s not brunch without mimosas! Creating cozy spaces to sit and sip will ensure that they feel comfortable enough to linger and mingle. A lounge will also be a comfortable and photo-ready spot for opening gifts. Our Everly Sofa and Chair are a beautiful pair – not to mention incredibly comfy! If you need extra seating, add in our Winstead Grey Tufted Bench. You’ll also want a place where people can set their drinks, like our Cheval Gold Mirror Side Table. Or our larger Blanche Coffee Table.

Speaking of drinks, another round of glassware is a must. Serve up mimosas in our Pure Champagne Flutes displayed on the White Barback Shelf for a stunning presentation. Provide a variety of fresh fruit juices in carafes, along with seasonal fruits and cheese on silver serving platters. Sparkling water is also a great option to have on hand for a mom-to-be, or kiddos in tow!

On Trend: Corporate Wellness Rooms

Southern Events Products, Trends and Inspiration

light blue rug beneath modular lounge

In a post-pandemic world, the health and happiness of employees is a priority for many companies and business owners. A focus that your team and attendees will appreciate, especially during a conference, convention or corporate summit. Today we’ll share how you can create corporate wellness rooms to help maintain positive and motivated participants!

Create an Ambient Setting

The first step you’ll want to take when creating corporate wellness rooms is selecting a designated area or areas within your event space. We recommend selecting an area that is a ways away from the primary room in use so that your guests can fully escape the hustle and bustle – whether you are hosting a training session or an annual meeting. Once established, pipe and drape can be used to enclose a space. This will help create a more private and ambient setting, in which guests can sit back, relax, and recharge. Choose from a range of beautiful and calming colors, such as black, ivory and white. If you like, you can even designate this area as a quiet or non-tech space!

corporate evet
pipe and drape

Lounge Areas

Within your wellness room, you’ll want some comforts that encourage guests to sit and stay for a while. Specifically, lounge areas where people can casually converse or even meditate for a time. Start with cozy neutral or warm colored furniture, like our Bennett Leather Sofa or Henley Grey Velvet Tufted Sofa. Pair it with a set of accent chairs, like our beautiful Gloria Velvet Arm Chairs. Then, finish it off with a plush area rug and a set of matching coffee and side tables. Avoid any pieces that are too contemporary and might give off a cold feeling! Of course, you can also choose from our selection of beautiful lounge packages (we recommend #03 or #26). If you prefer, you can also create smaller areas using our bistro tables and bistro chairs.

corporate event lounge
Natural Luxe Lounge Furniture

Food & Beverage Stations

In addition to helping your guests relax you also want to help them recharge. A scrumptious food and beverage station will help keep them satiated and in tune for a long day of meetings or workshops. Start with an elegant display shelf, like our Black Bar Back Shelf – to store a selection of simple water goblets or other glassware. Nearby, keep refreshing cucumber water or similar beverages in a Glass Beverage Jar. Display snack foods, like fresh fruit or vegetables, in our white family-style service pieces for light on-the-go bites. Accompanied by simple white china! If you’ve been approved for alcoholic beverages, a stylish and well-stocked bar never hurt either.

In Stock: Cottagecore Inspired Event Rentals

On Trend, Trends and Inspiration

purple baby shower linens

It should be no surprise that with the popularity of the show Bridgerton we’re seeing an uptick in Cottagecore event design. Romantic and regent, this style is a throwback to simpler times and elevated design. Meaning luxe textiles, rich colors, and dainty details that would impress members of high society. To help you host a party that feels like a timeless period drama, take a look at our Cottagecore inspired event rentals.

Vintage-Inspired Lounges

If you want to impress guests with your Bridgerton inspired event design then a luxe lounge is a must-have. During this period cocktail hours were the WAY to stay up-to-date on the latest gossip! Easily create a comfortable and memorable area for socializing with our vintage-inspired furniture. A velvet sofa, such as Fern, is always a winner, featuring a rich color and texture. Or opt for the more period appropriate Everly, with a shapely back. For a complete look, don’t forget extra seating, like our Bamboo Arm Chairs or fun Turkish Rug Ottoman. Topped off with any of our classic Vintage Rugs!

Elegant Barware

A cocktail hour requires drinks, served up in regal glassware. It’s always fun to receive a refreshing cocktail served up in an elegant vintage-inspired glass. If you’re wanting to incorporate a touch of color into your tablescape, we recommend our colored goblets, available in Amber and Green. Or for a more timeless Cottagecore inspired event design, try our stunning Audrey Gold Rim Glassware. Then there is a newer addition to our lineup, Monaco Glassware, of which the champagne and water goblets are our favorite. For an especially impressive display, don’t forget to grab a Bookcase.

Fine Servingware

Of course for dinner you’ll need equally impressive serving ware! We offer a wide selection of aristocracy approved china and flatware. A popular choice is our mismatched Heirloom China, which looks stunning when stacked. Or, go for a more high end vibe when you feature our gold embellished china, such as Hamlet or Ophelia. Our personal favorite however is Darcy, which has a dainty shape fitting for a more whimsical event. And to keep it simple, all of these pieces looks beautiful with both our Austin Gold and Fresno Matte Gold Flatware.

Southern Love: Organic Luxe Gala Inspiration

Events and Style Shoots, On Trend, Southern Events Products, Trends and Inspiration

organic luxe lounge

In 2021 we saw a shift towards organic event design, featuring natural yet timeless colors and vintage-inspired rentals. A theme that we hope will carry over into the new year, especially for galas, fundraisers and other formal events! If this is a trend that you favor or a style you aim to embrace, check out the details from the annual Heritage Ball for some organic luxe gala inspiration.

A Lush Grand Entrance

A great way to set the tone for an event is with a coordinated grand entrance. Guests were welcomed to the Heritage Foundation Ball with a lush Boxwood Wall Backdrop. Here, sponsors of the event were featured. However, it also doubled as a photo opportunity! The lush green wall beautifully tied into the organic luxe theme that awaited guests.

Green & Gold Tablescapes

As the Heritage Ball is based around a formal seated dinner so beautiful tablescapes are a must. To create an organic look at this event, we featured mismatched tables and place settings. Starting with both round and rectangular tables, dressed in a range of green and ivory tablecloths, as well as subtle floral patterns. A touch of velvet here and there lent a luxe look, as did our classic Chiavari dinner chairs. Each place setting consisted of a Glass Charger with a Gold Rim, Abby Flatware, Ophelia Salad Plates, and Pure Glassware.

Custom Stocked Bars

Personal touches are essential to make any event memorable. And for this organic luxe gala, we featured our custom Harpeth Bar with a fun floral print across the front! To accommodate the large guest count, the bar was flanked by Franklin White Antique Bars and Franklin Black Antique Bars. And as always, each bar was well stocked with a beautiful selection of glassware, including a mix of wine glasses and our Davis Glassware.

Luxe Retro Lounge Areas

Surrounding each bar was a mix of comfy luxe lounge areas. By strategically placing these throughout the event space, guests were encouraged to mingle! They starred a mix of retro and modern rentals. Including our Every Sofa and Chair, Fern Velvet Sofa, and Blanche Coffee Table. Meanwhile, our Charleston Bistro Tables with marble tops were a great option for those who preferred to remain standing.

Elegant Staging for Live Entertainment

Of course, we can’t forget staging, as this event had several speakers and live entertainment. A facade was created with beautiful green and gold drapery, and for the podium, we opted for a contemporary Acrylic piece. And if you have live music you have to have a dance floor! So to complement the luxe look, we decided to feature our classic Black and White Dance Floor.

Gold & Ivory Gala at Cumberland University

Southern Events Products

gold gala

One of the premier charity events in Tennessee, the Phoenix Ball is a black tie gala benefiting Cumberland University. This year’s theme was Draped In Decadence: Masked in Mystery, featuring our luxe gold & ivory gala rentals. Keep reading to get inspired for your own fundraiser or gala.

A Grand Event Entrance

Upon arriving at the venue, guests were welcomed inside via a red carpet. To create a more elegant entrance, the walls were lined with white draping. Our Loren Gold Bistro Table was set up to greet guests, along with some bubbly! The Gold Boxwood Wall was decorated with white shelving for flutes and a custom neon sign, making for a fun photo op.

Gold & Ivory Tablescapes

Matching the theme, the dinner tables were created using gold and ivory serving ware. To make the most of the space, we used a mix of round and rectangular tables, along with our classic Gold Chiavari Chairs. They were dressed in coordinated linens, including Gold Furrow, Ivory Pearl Shalimar, and Victorian Gold Luxe. Each place setting featured a gold or silver charger, along with our stunning Ophelia or Hamlet China, and Austin Flatware.

Luxe & Comfy Lounges

For any fundraiser or gala to be a success, you need comfy areas for guests to relax and converse. Throughout the event space, we created a range of small and large lounges. The largest being our neutral Pearce Lounge, complemented with the sleek Blanche Coffee Table. Smaller areas included a pair of Fantasma Acrylic Chairs and a trio of Cheval Gold Mirror Side Tables. And our always popular white leather Mercer Collection!

Spaces for Entertainment

The focal point of the gala was an expansive white dance floor set to our Harpeth Stage Facade. Set to the beautiful white drapery and crystal curtains, it was a stunning setting for dancing & celebrating. On either side, bars were also accessible. And they were stocked with a variety of classic glassware, including Martini and Highball Glasses, plus Champagne Flutes.

Custom Bar & Food Displays

With such a large event space, we wanted to ensure that food and drinks were easily accessible from any point. In addition to being welcomed with champagne, guests could access a bar both indoors and outdoors. Our elegant white Harpeth bars were outfitted with a custom insert to match the gold & ivory gala theme. A pair of gold bar back shelves were also used to display some sweet treats and was adjacent to a small coffee bar.

Whimsy doesn't have to be loud....

This one worked because nothing matched perfectly — and that was the point. Floral linens next to satin, wildflower stems tucked into cylinder vases, a color palette that felt collected rather than coordinated. The kind of wedding that looks effortless and definitely wasn't. 🌸

Long tables have a way of making people stay.

This outdoor setup at @ediblenashtn kept it simple — sage floral plates, beaded glassware, fresh air. But it's the format that does the work. One long table changes how guests interact, how conversations move, and how an event actually feels to be at. 🌿

Warm tones just feel good to sit in.

Olive, taupe, a little gold to catch the light. Nothing too polished, nothing too rustic. Just that in-between that feels relaxed but still pulled together 🥰

This one doesn’t whisper, and that’s the point 🌸🌼

Blue and white, bright florals, patterned linens, and just enough detail to keep your eye moving the whole time. Gatsby coupe glassware, beaded chargers, little moments everywhere you look. It’s playful, but still pulled together.

The difference is usually in the details. And lately, it’s been pillows ✨

They’re one of the easiest ways to shift a lounge without reworking the whole setup. Add color, bring in texture, or tie everything back to the rest of the event. Take a look at our new collection of stunning pillows that will make your next event extra cozy!

Wood on wood… but make it fresh 🤍

At Cedarmont Farm, the setting already brings all the warmth. Wood tables, wood chairs, the whole space working in the same tone. Add crisp white linens and suddenly it feels lighter, brighter, and a little more modern without losing the charm.

Green on green done right doesn’t blend in. It builds.

Different shades, different textures, a little pattern mixed in. Wood tones to ground it, florals to soften it, and tableware that keeps it all feeling polished 💚
