2024 Event Design Trends | Quality Over Quantity

On Trend, Southern Events Products, Trends and Inspiration

2024 event design ideas and inspiration

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.

We recommend starting with a large loveseat or sofa set to match your theme. Choose from a collection, like the coastal-inspired Charlotte Collection or the contemporary Estelle Quarter Round Sofa. Alternatively, mix and match our single sofas and armchairs to match your event theme or style. Such as the Jacqueline Sofa and Bamboo Arm Chairs, a fitting combination for a modern retro vibe.

Dining Tables & Chairs

The dining experience starts with an impressive tablescape, the foundation of which are tables and chairs. For this reason, we stock a beautiful range of specialty furniture rentals, both functional and stylish. From modern rustic farm tables to chic chairs in various designs, our collection caters to diverse event themes and aesthetics. The newest addition, our Aged Oak Dining Table is a classic choice for any event and will lend a down-to-earth vibe. Should you prefer a brighter look, contrasted by bold servingware, opt for the White Antique Dining Table. Each of these looks stunning with Harlin Dining Chairs.

In the event that you will have an event bar, encourage guests to socialize with carefully placed cocktail tables. Such as the Palmer Bistro Table, complemented by matching barstools. If you need more seating, the Loren Gold Bistro Table is a beautiful alternative, that perfectly suits our Acrylic Ghost Barstools.

Eye-Catching Props

To truly transform your event space into a captivating environment you will want to feature eye-catching props! These unique decorative pieces add personality and flair to any setting, enhancing the visual appeal of your event. To create a luxurious display of desserts, consider our Market Cart, elevated with colorful balloons or flowers. For outdoor soirees, our White 6-Tier Serving Tower or Gold Bar Cart is perfect for serving up freshly made cocktails (or mocktails). Or, for the younger guests, party favors such as grab-and-go snacks or gift bags.

Must-Have Party Rentals: Modern & Fun Quinceañera

On Trend, Southern Events Products, Trends and Inspiration

colorful summer party rentals

A coming-of-age celebration, Quinceañeras are a loud and vibrant way to mark a girl’s 15th birthday! Typically bright & colorful, these parties are a mix of both modern and classic elements and traditions. Today we’re sharing just a few ways to host a fun Quinceañera celebration, featuring our luxe and colorful event rentals.

Fuchsia Etched Velvet Linen

Our Fuchsia Etched Velvet Linens are an easy way to wow your guests. Vibrant with a luxe touch of gold, these stunning linens bring a bold and modern air to any tablescape. This beautiful color is available in both tablecloths and napkins.

Velvet Furniture

For a luxe feminine touch, you have to feature some of our velvet furniture! These stylish pieces can be used for a reception, or to create a cozy lounge area. Take for example our Henley Grey Velvet Tufted Sofa and Farrah Teal Velvet Chairs. We offer a variety of velvet furniture rentals, with options for both a bold or toned down color palette.

Boxwood Wall for Photo Backdrop

One of our most versatile rentals are our beautiful boxwood walls. First and foremost, they make for a stunning photo backdrop. They can easily be customized with decor, whether it be bright balloons or signage. In either scenario, your guests will love the photo op. If you prefer a more interactive element, consider serving up some cold drinks via a beverage shelf. It is a unique and fun way to serve up some age-appropriate mocktails. For another interactive element, take a look at our new Donut Wall.

Red Carpet Entrance

What is a Quinceañera without a grand entrance? At Southern, we love to roll out the red carpet. In fact, we love it so much that we supply carpets in a variety of colors. Make a memorable entrance when you rent one of our carpets, whether you go with a classic white or black, or a modern pink.

Staging & Dance Floor

If your Quince will include music, then you’ll definitely need staging. It is the perfect way to make a live band, or another form of entertainment, front and center. In the event that you do have music, be sure to check out our classic black and white dance floor. This photogenic flooring is as stylish as it is perfect for busting some moves on.

Cake Stands

Last, but far from least, we can’t forget the importance of an impressive dessert bar. Specifically, a cake stand for your cake. Our Windsor Gold Cake Stand exudes modern luxury, and is beautiful in a way that won’t take away from the cake. If you really want to take your event to the next level, be sure to consider our modern glass candy jars. They’re perfect for creating a one-of-kind (not to mention delicious) dessert table!

We love a dramatic black and white color scheme for a chic modern event, so it’s no surprise that our Black & White Tribeca Triangle Plate is one of the hottest items in our inventory. These designer plates add a cool geometric element to any place setting. We especially love them with gold accents, or on display at a buffet.
