Bold and vibrant colors can be found everywhere in nature — from the burgundy mums sitting on your doorstep, to the bright orange pumpkins waiting to be carved into jack-o-lanterns, to the yellow leaves falling to the ground. The vivid and rich color palette of the great outdoors moves fall wedding trends toward more jewel-toned hues – an aesthetic we are happy to help you achieve! Grab that pumpkin spice latte, light a candle, and peruse these gorgeous, in-stock jewel-toned fall wedding rentals!

Jewel-Toned Furniture

Our Saylor Navy Sofa always makes a striking statement. We use it at many weddings and events, and it is essential for this lineup. The piece’s deep and powerful hue of blue brings in warmth and vivacity. Our Jaqueline Velvet Sofa, which features a rich amber color, is just as beautiful and practically glows. But should you prefer a more muted look, opt for our Fern Velvet Sofa, paired with a set of vintage-inspired Turkish Rug Ottomans. To frame the space, and lend an extra cozy look, feature our vibrant Blue-Red Rug.

Bold Jewel-Toned Linens

We love playing with linens – layering them, draping them, and allowing them to pop in unexpected places. For the fall and a jewel-toned wedding theme, linens are a trusty sidekick. They accentuate, build up, and reinforce the vibrant color palette. The possibilities are endless. Our Burgundy Poly Linen, Gold Poly Linen, Magnolia Velvet Linen, and Raspberry Poly Linen, are our top picks for pushing this jewel-toned vision to life. For an extra luxe touch, top your place settings off with a set of velvet napkins!

Gold Accents

Warm, rich, vivacious colors set in gold are the thing of fairy tales (and sought-after gifts). Rubies, emeralds, sapphires – they all have several things in common. One of which is that they are set in gold! Setting your jewel-toned wedding in gold is simple with our in-stock rentals, ranging from serving ware to accent furniture. Our Austin Flatware, Gold Accent China, and Audrey Gold Rim Glassware will make for an elevated fall tablescape. To match, create a centerpiece using any of our Gold Tabletop Decor. For a luxe lounge, feature a set of trendy Gold Hammered Coffee Tables. Or seat guests at the table with our always popular (and oh so comfy) Gold Chiavari Chairs.

Are you catching these fall feels? We’d love to help you create the bold and vivacious day of your dreams featuring our jewel-toned fall wedding rentals.

With the summer season waning and the coming cooler fall temperatures, we’ve been especially inspired by all things outdoors. If you’re in Nashville (or anywhere in the United States), take one step outside around dinner time and you’ll know why. It’s outdoor cookout party season! From neighborhood block parties to back-to-school parties and corporate get-togethers and team tailgates, most events migrate outdoors to make use of the sunshine and blue skies.

Outdoor Inspired Dining

Most people love the easy-natured feel of an outdoor cookout party. Simple and comfortable textures, rustic accessories, and bright colors marry to create a fresh and fun vibe. Use our Red and White Check Linens to emphasize the nostalgic feel and bring a fun, picnic theme to the look. Of course, the best part of an outdoor cookout is the food – hot off the grill! Display food atop our White Wash Whiskey Barrel Barnwood Bar for a rustic chic look. Refreshing seasonal beverages and large batch cocktails (or mocktails) can be served from our Classic Glass Beverage Jars.

If there will be kids in tow, we recommend giving them their own little dining area! Here you can also have kid-specific activities, like coloring books or bubbles. Keep it simple and on-theme when you feature our Fruitwood Children’s Farm Table and Cross-Back Children’s Chairs. For an extra tasty treat, grab our Vintage Popcorn Machine!

Stay for A While!

Outdoor cookouts are all about spending time with family and friends! The goal is to create a casual space where everyone can kick their feet up and hang out until the sun goes down. If you want your guests to stick around after the food (or make sure they’re comfy while waiting to dig in), we recommend a lounge area. Combine our Rustic Benches, Chocolate Pouf, Stone Round Fire Pit, and plenty of pillows and blankets for texture and to help make the party feel more inviting. Our Sutton Collection is also a beautiful option for large parties.

If you’re planning an outdoor cookout for back-to-school or as a casual corporate get-together, we’d love to help make it stylish & Southern. Send us a message at info@southerneventsonline.com and let us help you pick the perfect rentals for your event! Prefer a more chic look? Check out our blog for Chic Garden Party Ideas.

If you love event design that is creative and confident, then you’ll fall head over heels for the 2022 Pantone Color of the Year, Very Peri! A soft blue with violet-red undertones, PANTONE 17-3938 Very Peri is described to have a “spritely, joyous attitude and dynamic presence”. And for a year where event trends include vintage-inspiration and luxe details, what color could be better? To help you plan an a memorable and photo-worthy event, get inspired by event design incorporating Pantone’s color of the year.

Whimsical Event Design

By far our favorite aspect of this color of the year is the whimsy that it lends to an event! A unique mix of blue and purple, Very Peri oozes youthful luxury. Therefore, when featuring this color at your event, we recommend opting for rentals that are equally lighthearted. For example, complement any dining table with our classic Antique White Bentwood Chairs. Or create a contemporary twist with any of our on-trend acrylic chairs, such as the Carrigan Side Chair.

Perfect Very Peri Linens

If you’re looking for an easy way to feature this fun color, without overwhelming, our top is to run with a set of colorful linens! Easy to build on top of, even for an amateur host, it can be used to create a variety of different table settings. A few of our current favorites include Wisteria Satin and Lilac Poly. For an extra luxurious pop of purple, you might also consider our Lavender Velvet – even just for napkins.

Colors That Lend Contrast

Although beautiful, Very Peri is a color that in large quantities can be overwhelming. To break it up be sure to feature a mix of contrasting colors. To keep your overall event palette light and airy, go with a classic and crisp white, as shown with our delicate Darcy China. If you prefer a theme that is bolder, then go big with our stunning Onyx Earthen China. Of course, don’t be afraid to add more color! Our Amber Goblets feature a vintage design and unique color, perfect for a unique bohemian look.

Feeling inspired by event design incorporating Pantone’s color of the year? Contact our team today, at info@southerneventsonline.com, and we’ll help you create a one-of-a-kind look featuring this stunning color.

If you’re having alcohol at your upcoming wedding or other events, a well-stocked bar starts with the bar and accessories. From customizable bars to on-trend glassware and elegant backdrops, Southern Events stocks it all. Keep reading to learn about our event bar and bar accessories for rent, for every type of event.

Stylish Bars for Rent

A well-outfitted bar is the sign of a well-planned event. Part of your event planning list, if you’re including alcohol, will include “Get items for the bar”. So let’s get that item checked off. First things first – what’s your theme or style? Going for a rustic or bohemian theme? Check out our beautiful Bond Bar. Or an upscale, Southern look? Try our Antique White or Black Wood Bar. How about an elegant, sophisticated look? The Harpeth Bar is always popular! If you are hosting an intimate event, we also carry a Gold Bar Cart, perfect for providing table service.

On-Trend Glassware

With an impressive bar area, you’ll need glassware to match! This is why Southern is excited to stock a diverse range of on-trend glassware, suitable for a variety of different themes and event styles. As well as the different types of drinks you plan to serve, whether it be wine or signature cocktails. Our Champagne Glassware is essential for a celebratory event, but we also carry some statement pieces. Including our retro Davis Glassware and contemporary Cybil Glassware. Be sure to consider all your options, by visiting our catalog!

Bar Backdrops

If you want to spruce up your bar and lend a more sophisticated look, consider featuring a backdrop. We offer several styles, that range from purely aesthetic to functional. Often appreciated by the bar staff themselves, our Avenue Barback Shelf is useful for storing bottles as well as glassware. Meanwhile, our Boxwood Walls make for beautiful decor, especially when paired with custom signage.

With virtual options becoming more normalized for corporate meetings & summits – but attendees still wanting in-person experiences, we expect to see more and more hybrid meeting options.  Hybrid corporate summits bring together attendees both in person as well as virtual, making for unique opportunities and challenges when setting the stage and choosing your rentals. After all, they’re still meant to inform and inspire – and impress! To help you host a memorable corporate event for our new normal, check out our essential event rentals that are as functional as they are stylish. Plus! Be sure to grab a copy of our Event Essentials Guide with tips and tricks.

Camera-Ready Stage Set-Ups

It’s important to create the right focal point for your event! A stage that is comfortable, stylish, and on-brand as well as virtually interesting is key.  From unique stage seating to out-of-the-box chairs, Southern Events Party Rental Company offers quite the selection to choose from. Our Bennett and Henley Sofas, Eiffel Chairs, Adeline Chairs, Rory Chairs, and Farrah Chairs offer stylish, unique, and comfortable seating for the speakers as they sit on the stage. Accent tables make for a cozy and complete look (as well as a perch for speaker notes or water). Be sure to also consider your stage backdrops – they help frame the space and create a uniform look for virtual users. We love our Boxwood Walls and Pipe & Drape for stage backdrops.

Stylish Lecterns

If you are hosting a more formal speaker or handing out awards, then you will need a lectern. Helpful for keeping your guests front and center, as well as amplifying their voice, they are a staple whether or not you have staging. It will also create a more overall organized event layout! In addition to providing a focal point for in-person guests, it will make live streaming easier for the camera crew as there is an obvious mark for people to speak from on stage. Our Acrylic Lectern is a unique contemporary (and customizable with a cling) choice, while Black Metal is a classic.

Upgrade Your Seating for In-Person Socializing

Want to uplevel your event seating? Make the space extra special for in-person attendees and opt for fun contemporary pieces, like our Acrylic Chairs. Available in a variety of styles, they make for a unique addition to any table. You’ll also want cozy lounge and bistro areas. Whether they are used for breakoff sessions or breaks between speakers where people can spread out. Check out our Mercer Collection (with built-in charging ports) or Pearce Furniture. Or opt for one or two of our curated lounge packages, complete with sofas, chairs, rugs, and accent tables.

Show Off Your Brand

Because corporate summits exist to instill pride and cast vision, weaving on-brand materials and signage throughout the event is typically a strong move in the right direction. You can do this through our customizable Harpeth Bar. As well as custom pillows or colorful clings placed on the back of seating. Or opt for a memorable, photo-worthy entryway, made using our elegant Boxwood Walls.

Need help planning your one-off or annual hybrid corporate summits? Our team would love to help you create an event that is stylish and functional. Send us a message at info@southerneventsonline.com, and let’s get started!

Dance Floors

Some flooring is limited to certain areas of your event space, like dance floors. They act as a focal point within an event space, in addition to being a designated area for entertainment. We offer a selection of dance floors, for a variety of different event types and themes.

Whether they are used to line an aisleway or placed beneath the featured furniture. You go to major lengths to decorate and furnish the space in a way that aligns with your event, and the floor is the foundation! Take a look at our in-stock area rugs and how you can feature one or several at your upcoming Nashville event.

Tie it All Together

Area rugs are more than just decoration. Take for example the use of layered rugs as an aisle runner. Our Brown & White Cowhide Rug and Dark Brown Cowhide Rug are perfect for a trendy urban desert wedding ceremony. Meanwhile, our vintage-inspired rugs look stunning for a cozy, boho-themed affair. Feel free to layer them up or use one standalone alongside a ceremony backdrop.

Frame a Space

Rugs assist in creating a frame in which to place the furniture. A trick that is especially useful for social areas, like a cocktail lounge. Consider using a rug to lead guests from the bar to a lounge area. It will help prevent your guests from huddling around the bar and encourage them to sit down, get comfortable, and stay for a while. See how our clients have used a range of area rugs for events & weddings, including our Navy and Aqua Rugs.

A Cohesive Design

Similar to cocktail lounges, rugs can be placed beneath standalone furniture to help create a more cohesive aesthetic. Without one, it can feel as though your furniture may float away! A rug can also help tie different areas together that would otherwise look out of place. Featured below, our vintage Blue-Red Rugs were used to accent a whiskey-barrel bar and create a charming buffet area. And to create a stylish outdoor cocktail area, it was placed beneath our Loren Gold Bistro Table.
