Velvet & Roses | Regal Celebration of Life PartySouthern Events Products, Trends and Inspiration |
When we lose a loved one we want to create a celebration that represents them. Celebrations of life are similar to memorial services but often take place after a funeral – or sometimes in place of a funeral altogether. This gives you more time to create a personalized celebration that truly represents your lost loved one. Get inspired by a recent regal celebration of life party in Nashville, Tennessee.
Bistro Tables
Celebrations of life are a time for people to come together or reconnect with loved ones. Bistro tables make for a great place for people to gather and chat, especially if drinks or appetizers are being served. Keep the centerpieces for these tables simple with small floral arrangements or a handful of votive candles and choose linens in a favorite color of your passed love one.
Dinner Service
As with a funeral, you may choose to serve lunch or dinner. Keep things simple, with round or rectangle guests tables and elevated centerpieces (so guests can easily chat across the table). You choice of chairs can be another way to personalize the event – Cross-back Chairs or Folding Chairs work great for a relaxed feel. Ghost or Chiavari Chairs create a more elegant feel – as do our beautiful velvet linens. We offer our velvet linens and napkins in a wide range of popular colors, including Sterling Grey, Silver and London Fog.
Table Centerpieces
In addition or as an alternative to florals, lanterns and candles make for beautiful table centerpieces – you might also consider a special candle-lighting ceremony. We offer a wide variety of tabletop lanterns, perfect for an elegant celebration of life. Such as our Vintage Gold or Silver Burnished Square Tabletop Lantern. We also love the use of floating candles in our Davis Glass Cylinders.
Lounge Areas
A frequently overlooked element are lounge areas, which your guests will appreciate for events where catching up and talking with other guests is expected. We currently offer a number of different lounge packages, ranging from modern to rustic and regal. These packages include a mix of complementary furniture, such as sofas, chairs, side tables, coffee tables, and as well as a rugs.
Classic Tents
Some people opt to host celebrations of life at home or in their backyard. Keeping this type of even close to home can make guests feel more connected or comfortable. For this type of event, we offer classic tents, available in a variety of packages to suit any guest count. For any of our services, our team is glad to offer contactless pick-up or set-up, too.
Personal Touches
Celebrate your loved ones’ hobbies, interests, and passions with personalized touches throughout the event design. For the avid sports fan, consider our Harpeth Bar inset with the logo of their favorite team, like this one shown as a example below. Or feature linens in their team colors. These small elements make a big statement that makes your celebration of life personal and unique.

Tables are adorned with ornate details like our Hob Knob Glassware and Abby Fine Silver Flatware next to satin dinner napkins, or placed perfectly among Chiffon Table Runners.

Wedding Style: Textured Boho
Couples with a genuine love of nature and vibrant colors fall perfectly in love with this Textured Boho style – a gorgeous mix of organic elements topped with vintage & metallic details. Wood Chargers, Artisan China, unique Como Flatware, and gold flourishes stun in any setting – not to mention, they are accented perfectly regardless of your chosen color palette. Painted vintage furniture is perfectly Bohemian with bright and vibrant colors – the vividly colored Charlotte Chair and vintage Basil Arm Chair are just two selections from our vast inventory of delightful vintage chairs. Natural texture continues from dinner to dessert as a delicious cake is even more beautiful served atop Barnwood Square Cake Plateaus. Free spirits, happy hearts, and a bohemian design that never disappoints.

Style Inspiration: Grand Tennessee Gala | Heritage Ball 2019Trends and Inspiration |
The Heritage Ball – a gala put on by the Heritage Foundation in Franklin, Tennessee – has been held every single year since 1972, and we were again proud to part of this year’s event. The grand gala took place at the historic Eastern Flank Battlefield Park.
Our favorite classic Southern pieces were in attendance at this lovely Tennessee gala. Guests entered on a custom cream carpet, flanked by boxwood walls. Chandeliers hung from the ceiling, Harlin Chairs looked very much at home, and gold and silver place settings dotted the tablescapes. The combination gave off a formal and approachable Southern look. Abby Flatware sat next to Glass Chargers with Gold Rims, and our dainty Hamlet China showed up for dessert. The Harpeth Bar fit perfectly amongst these elegant Southern pieces, and our Plank Wood Dance Floor was the perfect fit for our grand stage. We also introduced our new portable stages, creating vignettes for music and entertaining. It certainly was a night of dancing, amazing live music, and celebration!
We never ceased to be amazed at how these rentals create cohesive and unique looks when paired in different ways. Lovely images provided by Phindy Studios.

Style Inspiration: Monochromatic Event DesignSouthern Events Products, Trends and Inspiration |
Monochromatic event design takes one color and weaves it throughout the event rentals and decor. We’ve all heard the phrase “less is more” and that’s definitely true here. If you’re looking to create a lot of drama and make a memorable statement, choosing one color and layering in different textures and materials will go a long way. It’ll be bold no matter what, but the mood varies depending on the color.
This look can be achieved by keeping furniture, linens, lighting, and florals (and pretty much anything and everything in between) in the same color palette. Also, there’s no need to stress about making sure everything matches just right. For monochromatic design, it’s more about pulling together varying hues, tones, and textures in the same color family. We’ve used our in-stock rentals to showcase how to pull together this look.
Sophisticated Black
A black monochromatic design creates a sophisticated feel. Our Black Velvet Sofa paired with our Black and Silver Rug build out the perfect lounge area. For dining, our Carrera Marble Dinner Plate and Black Dupioni Linens join forces to give off an ultra-sophisticated and seamless look. Finally, we used our Acrylic Ghost Armless Chairs to compliment the black monochromatic design and carry the sophistication even further. (Our Acrylic Chairs are a nice companion to pretty much any monochromatic event design.)
Glamorous White
An all-white design is a dreamy and glamorous option for weddings and other events. It gives off an ethereal, magical feel. There are so many ways to go about a white monochromatic design. For this look, we pulled together our Santorini Off-White Sofa and Loveseat and Cowhide Rug for a comfortable lounge area. For the dining area, we brought in mismatched Vintage Chairs, Athena China, and Cybil Glassware.
Bold Blue
A blue monochromatic theme is both bold and classy. The Saylor Sofa and Loveseat set the scene for this look. To accent the blue monochromatic theme, we pulled in our Navy Rug and Meridian Blue Tumblers.
We’d love to create a show-stopping look for your wedding or corporate event. If you’re feeling inspired by these designs, send us a message at info@southerneventsonline.com.

Style Inspiration: Nautical-Inspired Event DesignTrends and Inspiration |
Nautical-inspired event design is classic and timeless. Whether you’re talking about clothes, interior design, or party themes – nautical themes are elegant, preppy, and here to stay. There’s just something about the combination of whites, navy, and gold that produces an air of a New England soiree. This event theme is ideal for sweet baby showers, seaside or mainland weddings, and fun corporate events. The possibilities are truly endless when it comes to this fresh nautical color combination. You can go as “theme-y” as you want, or shoot for a more subtle approach. Southern Events Party Rental Company has plenty of nautical-inspired event rentals to have you and your guests feeling as if you’re celebrating oceanside (no matter where you are). Ahoy!
Fresh and crisp whites, such as our Santorini Sofa, paired with sophisticated blue linens (Royal Poly or Midnight Poly, for instance) achieve an elegant and preppy nautical theme – effortlessly and subtly. To really have your event set sail, we recommend bringing in flatware and dinnerware with gold accents. Our Austin Flatware and Kate Polka Dot dishes fit quite nicely here. You can anchor the theme with items like our Navy Rug, aptly named Saylor Sofa or Rory Navy Velvet Chairs for extra seating. The sky really is the limit when it comes to how nautical you want your event to be.

Southern Venue Love: Long Hollow Gardens – Nashville, TNNashville Venues |
We adore dressing fabulous Nashville area venues in Southern Events rentals, and Long Hollow Gardens is one of our absolute favorites. Long Hollow Gardens is a super unique event venue. It is actually a greenhouse! Couples can achieve that “outdoor wedding” feel with all of the comfort of remaining indoors (think gorgeous summer wedding without all the heat!). Oh, and don’t forget about the exquisite natural light pouring into the venue. On this 35 acre property, you’ll find a vineyard, their Farmhouse Bridal Cottage, and Hearthroom Barn. With enough space for 200 guests, it’s a great venue for weddings and events of all sizes.
Our neutral, natural rentals really shine at Long Hollow Gardens. The Cross-Back Chairs look tailor-made for this venue and are incredibly inviting paired with ivory linens. When outfitting the Greenhouse, we typically stick to neutral color palettes in order to let nature shine. From the Bennett Leather Sofa to the Fruitwood Farm Table, many of our rentals look as if they belong at this one-of-a-kind venue. However, we are not opposed to dreaming up a colorful look with our Saylor Velvet Furniture rentals. We are in love with how this location serves as a backdrop for pretty much any dreamy look a couple could conjure up.
Be sure to visit their website to learn more about hosting your Southern event at this greenhouse venue. Photos by Julie Paisley.

Southern Events recently took part in an Open House at City Winery, and we love how our gorgeous rentals shine at this venue. We used a combination of gold, neutral, and blush to create a luxe feel. Add to that beautiful color combination modern materials like our Acrylic Chairs, Midas Gold Bench, and Gold Furrow Linen, and it was definitely swoon-worthy.
We absolutely adore all the possibilities available at City Winery. Whether you’re going full-on “honky-tonk” or wanting a feminine and modern look, you can make it all happen here.

Style Inspiration: Pastel Event RentalsTrends and Inspiration |
Pastels are a growing trend in event design this year. If you watched the Oscars, you know it (we are still swooning over Maya Rudolph’s glorious pink gown – among other amazing looks). Pastels were everywhere. Bonus: This trend incorporates itself beautifully in weddings and events. You can make this color scheme work with whichever various themes you’re going for. Classic? Of course. How about “garden charm”, or Southern, or “rustic glam”… yep, you can do that, too! Whimsical, romantic, and even glamorous, pastels will lend an enchanted feel to pretty much any event or wedding.
Often, when people think of pastel color schemes, they think “sweet, traditional, and girly.” That’s definitely not the case anymore! This pastel color scheme can most definitely be luxe and modern. Imagine monochromatic shades of pastel blue – that look is both sleek, modern, and incredibly fresh.
When creating a fresh look with these colors, you can bring in pastel linens, dishes, furniture, or florals. You could also weave pastel colors through your invitations, food (think French macaroons), or wedding party gowns and accessories. If you’re wanting to create a look with pastels, Southern Events Party Rental Company has everything you need – from linens to dishes to coffee tables!

Southern Love: Teal and Living Coral at CJ’s off the SquareEvents and Style Shoots, Southern Events Products |
2019’s Pantone Color of the Year is Living Coral, and we have all the heart-eyes for this color! There are tons of ways to go about incorporating Living Coral: sweet, feminine, classy, Southern…the ideas go on and on. Here, we are in love with how the spunky color combination of teal and coral can evoke both glam as well as fun vibes. If you’re looking to incorporate 2019’s Pantone Color of the Year – Living Coral – we think this is a fabulous way to do it. We adore how the color pops up in a myriad of ways at this Spring Tasting Event at CJs off the Square (even down to the adorable cocktail).
This glam and fun theme incorporates gold, mismatched and detailed dinnerware, and our swoon-worthy Farrah Teal Velvet Chair. The teal color woven through the theme takes the coral to a new level. The Tessa Tufted Beige Loveseat just had to be part of this look, with the glam and fun lines on the piece calling out to be included in this Coral shin-dig.
Poppies and other coral floral designs–along with coral linens–accented the event, assisting the teal and coral theme in adding to the glam and fun vibes.
Beautiful images by Jenna Henderson Photographer.
