Even moreso when topped with Sahara Runners in neutral and muted shades.

Alternatively, dress your tables in luxurious linens, from fresh floral prints to brilliant solid colors.

Winter may not always bring us snow in the South, but that won’t stop us from creating our own winter wonderland! From gleaming white china to soft linens and cozy lounge furniture, an all-white winter event design is the perfect way to embrace the season’s elegance. So let’s dream up a snowy celebration that will leave your guests enchanted! We have the perfect rentals to fit the theme, from chairs to china to linens. Keep following along for oodles of inspiration for your magical snowy event.

Dazzling White China

Dinnerware plays a crucial role in setting the tone for an event, signaling to guests the level of formality and style they’ll experience. At Southern, we have a wide variety of white china options to fit your eye-catching, all-white theme.

If your style is organic and bohemian, our Earthen Alabaster china is a beautiful choice. It leans more casual than some of our other dishware options, but the right linen pairing can certainly elevate it. It has a slightly off-white color and a matte finish—perfectly natural, grounded, and sophisticated.

If you prefer something a bit more regal, try our Darcy china. This dishware choice has a shinier finish and scalloped edges. Due to its beautiful Victorian shape, it fits in nicely with luxurious and formal decor.

Need something in between? Our White Coupe china is perfectly traditional, and it can work in just about any setting! It’s our most versatile china collection.

Always In Charge

After you’ve chosen the china for your event, add a charger! Our Darcy collection includes matching chargers. We also have a stunning, simple porcelain charger that works well with a variety of china patterns. Finally, if you want to add a little extra sparkle to your decor, try our Silver Round Lacquer charger. We know it’s silver, not white, but we won’t tell if you don’t! A little bit of glimmer can never hurt, and it’ll make the white dishes pop.

Elegant White Linens

Next, let’s add some white linens to the mix. For our more bohemian brides and hosts, we recommend a textured Havana linen or a gathered Sahara runner. For our more opulent brides and hosts, we recommend a white satin or velvet. We even have some textured options like pindot, shimmer, or etched linens.

Stylish White Chairs

Your choice of chairs also plays a huge role in your celebration’s overall aesthetic. We offer a few different white chairs, but consider the venue and backdrop when making your selection. Our white Bentwood chairs are stunning, but they give a rustic, antique vibe. Contrast that with our white Chiavari chairs, which look more lavish and sleek. If neither of these jumps out at you, try a ghost chair! Our see-through acrylic options like the Carrigan chair blend right into the background of your space.

If you want to create a spot for lounging and mingling, we have a couple of lovely, on-theme lounge sofas to choose from. Explore our Estelle, Everly, and Sloan styles—all are equally soft and fashionable, so you can’t go wrong!

Accents and Accessories

Here are just a few more rental items and ideas to help you pull off your timeless winter wonderland!

• Rent a white beverage shelf to display custom cocktails or seasonal treats!
• Try a champagne tower if you have special toasts planned. This works well at both social and corporate events.
• Roll out the white carpet for your VIPs! Our white runners make great aisles for weddings. 
• Experiment with all-white florals like roses, peonies, calla lilies, and orchids. There are many beautiful flowers in this category, so be sure to discuss which ones are in season with your florist.

With all these dreamy white rentals, you’ll have everything you need to create your own winter wonderland—no snow required! From elegant china to cozy lounge furniture, each piece brings a little sparkle to your big day. So go ahead, embrace the magic of all-white winter event design, and let’s make some Southern winter dreams come true! Contact us today to start designing your event.

When planning an event, one element that often stands out as a focal point of fun and celebration is the dance floor. Whether you’re hosting an elegant wedding or a lively backyard birthday party, a dance floor provides the perfect space for guests to let loose and enjoy themselves. At Southern Events, we offer a variety of stylish dance floor rentals that can elevate any occasion. Read on to discover why a dance floor might be the perfect addition to your event and explore our range of rental options.

Do You Need a Dance Floor?

Maybe! There are many reasons you might choose to feature a dance floor at your event. Most people naturally consider a dance floor if they plan to feature live entertainment, such as a band or DJ. However, dance floors can also be useful for events with performers, like a fundraiser or gala. In addition to functioning as activity centers, like at children’s birthday parties. They are particularly necessary for outdoor events, providing stability on uneven terrain. Even indoors, they help delineate a space specifically for dancing, creating a dedicated area for guests to gather and celebrate.

Choosing the Right Style

At Southern Events, we offer a variety of dance floor styles to match any theme or aesthetic:

• White Dance Floor: A popular choice for weddings and anniversaries, our white dance floor exudes elegance and sophistication. Its clean, crisp look can brighten up any venue, making it ideal for formal events.
• Black Dance Floor: Equally popular, the black dance floor offers a unique, modern, and moody aesthetic. This option is perfect for events seeking a sleek, contemporary vibe. Consider this style for a hotel or urban wedding venue!
• Black and White Dance Floor: Our black and white dance floor is a classic and versatile choice. Its timeless checkerboard pattern works well for both weddings and corporate events, adding a touch of retro charm and sophistication.
• Plank Wood Dance Floor: This versatile style is especially popular for outdoor events. The plank wood dance floor brings a rustic, natural feel to your celebration, making it perfect for barn weddings, garden parties, and more.

Choose the Right Size Dance Floor

When considering the size of the dance floor rental you need, the main indicator is your guest count. Southern Events offers dance floors ranging from 8×8 to 24×32, ensuring we have something for every size celebration. Here’s a quick guide to help you determine the best size for your event:

• Small Gatherings (up to 50 guests): 8×8 or 12×12
• Medium Gatherings (50-150 guests): 16×16 or 20×20
• Large Gatherings (150+ guests): 24×24 or 24×32

If you need help determining the right size dance floor for your event, a member of our team would be glad to assist you.

From ballrooms to backyards, a dance floor is an essential element that can transform your event into a memorable celebration. Southern Events offers a range of stylish dance floor rentals to suit any occasion, ensuring your guests have the perfect place to dance the night away.

Our Charleston Bistro Table is an easy choice. It looks stunning with a set of popular Gold Chiavari Barstools.

Modern Minimal

Going for a modern or minimal theme? Our Loren Gold Bistro Table and Acrylic Ghost Barstools are a darling pair, especially when set atop one of our vintage rugs. For a softer look, you might place a runner across the table, for that modern romantic look. Try a neutral color like Havana Ecru or Bloom Chiffon!

Any color will look stunning with a pair of sleek Acrylic Casper Square Back Barstools – or any of our acrylic chairs for that matter.

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!
