Delicate Serving Ware

Every Southerner knows that a classic never goes out of style, and the same can be said for a variety of our serving ware. Take for example our scalloped Darcy China. Bone white with a gracefully curved edge, these beautiful dinner plates provide the perfect canvas for fresh spring or summer fare and are one of our favorite garden wedding rentals! Be sure to also take a look at our Heirloom China and Stoneware.

Garden-Inspired Table Linens

Nothing freshens up an outdoor table setting like a pop of color and texture from high-quality table linens. Your linens can provide the perfect backdrop for your table settings and arrangements. For garden weddings, we love our richly textured Moss Green Crush and Velvet Linens, as well as our warm and rustic Havana Cafe neutral napkins and feminine Chiffon Runners.

Intimate Lounge Areas

When it comes to a garden wedding, we love the simple, feminine charm of an intimate lounge area! Mix and match our elegant and cozy furniture, to create a welcoming place for guests to sit and stay for a while. Alongside pieces such as our sofas & loveseats, be sure to feature a few Trellis or Capri White Side Tables. Both are elegant and will add a sophisticated, feminine feel to your wedding lounge!

Peak Tent

Rain or shine, your big day is going to be beautiful. That’s why we encourage you to take away the stress and enjoy the shade (or shelter) from underneath one of our elegant tents. Featuring heavy-duty aluminum frames and block-out vinyl tops, you and your guests will stay cool in the shade beneath our Peak Frame and Hexagon Tents! Decorate them with billowing drapery and fresh flowers for a wonderful and whimsical outdoor event.

Natural Wood Dance Floor

Dancing in the grass sounds like a wonderful time- until you remember that you and your friends will be wearing heels! Prevent any fashion faux-pas and keep the party going with our New England Wood Dance Floor. The natural wood finish makes a lovely addition to the party, adding function without interrupting the aesthetic.

Functional and stylish rentals, Southern Events offers a range of area rugs for events & weddings. Although simple, a beautiful decorative rug will lend to an all-around cohesive event space. 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.

Want something that provides more stability than a rug? Our Dura-Trac Flooring is a great option! It is made of high-quality materials and can be customized to fit any size you may need. Plus it is a safe, slip-resistant surface that can be used over a variety of terrains. Plus, you can still place one or more of our trendy area rugs on top to create a cozy atmosphere.

If you have an upcoming event and are looking to create a unique space with area rugs we’d love to chat with you! Send us a message at info@southerneventsonline.com for help or additional event inspiration!

At Southern Events, we love a multi-functional rental! Our boxwood walls are available with 3 distinct bases (gold, white and ivory) and offer endless ways they can be personalized at your event.  From serving champagne, snapping pics or elevating your escort cards, see how to customize this rental for your next Nashville event.

Boxwood Champagne Walls

Cocktails are a highly anticipated treat at any event, but why not take your service to the next level with an interactive champagne wall? Creative, interactive, gorgeous, and full of bubbly – we’re definitely here for it! Guests will be absolutely delighted as they walk by this fun drink station, which can also double as a photo op! For the setup below, our Boxwood Wall was adorned with lush florals by the talented team at Enchanted Florist, our Fruitwood Shelves and Cybil Flutes.

Boxwood Wall Photo Backdrops

Entirely customizable, our boxwood walls are a must-have for a trendy photo station. Easily create a photo backdrop that complements your event, whether it’s for a wedding or another social gathering. The options are truly endless, as long as you have the creativity and gusto! As shown below, a bright neon sign is always a nostalgic decoration. However, it would also look lovely with a monogram or pictures of the newlyweds. We also love it with a colorful balloon arch for a shower or birthday party.

Corporate Event Backdrops and Entrances

For large corporate events, our boxwood walls are an effective way to keep your business at the forefront of guest’s minds. As shown, it creates a beautiful backdrop for galas, fundraisers, or celebrations, especially those where there will be a stage or grand entrance. Show off your corporate logo in an upscale way, fitting of the elegant decor. And, if you have sponsors, feature their logos as well.

Boxwood Wall Seating Chart

At a wedding, you want to leave a lasting impression! Aside from a champagne wall, one easy method is with an interactive seating chart. Popular in recent years, a boxwood wall seating chart is a fun way to greet guests and guide them to their respective tables. You can simply list their names, like on a mirror or acrylic sign. Or you can use wedding favors that double as escort cards, like these beautiful horseshoe ornaments.

Want to feature one of our boxwood walls, as a drink station or backdrop, at your upcoming event? Let’s chat! Send us an email today, at info@southerneventsonline.com.

Emerald and gold speaks to opulence and set the tone for the event design at the 13th Annual Rutherford Society Gala. A black-tie affair, the Embassy Suites by Hilton Nashville in southeast Murfreesboro was transformed into an elegant affair. A mix of vibrant and deep greens, white furniture and golden accents made for a luxurious setting.

It is easy to take emerald and gold event design and end up over the top. With beautiful but simple pieces, a chic and functional space is possible. Alongside a pleasing aesthetic our aim is to eliminate any feelings of claustrophobia. It is a cocktail hour after all! Pieces like our Pearce Furniture, a chic modular lounge, and bistro tables will prompt guests towards social areas for a drink well throughout the evening.

The elegant layout and grandeur spilled over to the main ballroom for a 3-course meal. Paired with rich velvet tablecloths and white linens are the perfect amount of gold metallics to make it all pop! This includes Chiavari Chairs, gold-rimmed Athena Plates, and Austin Flatware. A touch of fresh florals in clear glass vases goes on to add some natural beauty.

Warm tones have been trending in events and weddings over the last few years, and we are in love with this palette! Take a cue from nature with these sunset-inspired event colors and event rentals that wrap your Nashville event in warm nostalgia.

Golden Glow

Go for the gold… in event rentals other than your flatware or furniture. Try layering linens in warm neutrals with your event rentals – like the subtle yellow of our Wheat Satin Linens – or add some flair with our Midas Gold Bench.

Copper Cues

Copper has been popping up in event design from elegant to bohemian events – and everywhere in between. But this color chameleon isn’t just a metallic. “Copper” hues offer a range of shades in Southern rentals – like our Rouge Charger or Russet Satin Linens.

Mauve Modes

This isn’t your Granny’s curtains anymore. Not quite a rose pink or a chocolate brown, mauve is the perfect color to bridge between feminine & masculine in your event color palette. Layer textures like blush velvet linens with our warm wood Harlin Chairs or a dusty rose pillow on the leather Bennett Sofa.

It’s simply a fact that child-sized versions of adult furniture are one hundred times cuter, as evidenced by the first birthday party rentals below.

Adults can mingle grown-up style with our Mid Century White Bistro Table and Bar Stools.

Keep food warm while all of the fun birthday party activities take place by using our Chafing Dishes, and keep that lemonade and water fresh and cold in our Beverage Tubs and Davidson Beverage Jar.

A snow-and-ice-inspired winter party has us reminiscing over the annual glitzy winter galas we’ve all seen the Kardashians put together. While John Legend may not be performing at your fancy holiday affair, we can guarantee you’ll find plenty of gorgeous in-stock rentals at Southern Events to create a memorable and elegant evening.

White foundation pieces such as our Mercer Collection provide cool coziness, while accent rugs like our Metallic Cow Hide Rug bring in that glamorous flair that is a must-have for a snow-and-ice-inspired winter party. And to have your guests lounging like true Kardashians, Mercury Votives set out on our Siros Coffee Table bring both ambiance and elegance.

For dinner, set out fancy Darcy China and Abby Flatware on tables dressed in White Shimmer Linen, Silver Sequin Linen, Silver Furrow Linen, or White Panama Pindot Linens. Our Acrylic Chairs are the ideal icy elegant pieces for a snow-inspired celebration. Round out your snow-inspired winter gala with our Silver Avenue Bar Back Shelf where you’ll store delicious ingredients for icy cocktails.

Rich hues of reds paired with classic Southern blues for this recent vineyard wedding inspired style shoot at Arrington Vineyards. Elegant and romantic in color and style, we were honored to be part of this!

For the vineyard wedding inspired ceremony, we used our Fruitwood Folding Chairs, which complimented the red roses and red anemones that were found throughout the design. We love how this look blends in seamlessly with the expansive winery backdrop while feeling both intimate and warm.

For the reception inspiration, we brought in our rustic Fruitwood Farm Table, modern Brushed Copper Flatware, and timeless White Square China. Floral designs bursting with red blooms topped off the gorgeous tablescape. And to round out the sophisticated vibe of this style shoot, our Cybil Glassware joined the party for a toast! Cheers!

Thank you, Ivory Door Studio, for the lovely images.
