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.

Graduation party season is upon us! It’s sentimental, nostalgic, and cheerful… all at once. As you get ready to plan a graduation party for your senior, there’s a lot to consider. Will it be outside? How many people will you invite? What should you serve? Where will the guests sit? Southern Events has plenty of in-stock graduation party rentals to allow you to create a memorable and fun event for your grad.

Set the Scene

First, let’s set the scene. If your graduation party is going to be outside, consider one of our Tent Pop-Up Packages. You can coordinate the linens that come with your package to match school colors for added festiveness! The Sutton Collection or Barnwood Furniture and our Hammered Rectangle Fire Pit will be the perfect additions for added warmth and comfort. AstroTurf is great for graduation parties, and you could use our Boxwood Wall to create spaces or use as a backdrop!

Food and Such

At your graduation party, chances are – you’ll have some sort of food and drink (those seniors sure get cranky when they aren’t fed!), so you’ll want to think about how you’ll serve the food. Our Brushed Copper Flatware looks amazing with the Hob Nob Glassware. Both are fun and trendy and bring both modern and class to an event. Melamine Platters are perfect for your outdoor celebrations. Oh! And let’s definitely not forget the cake (that would result in extra cranky seniors), and we love serving cake on our Windsor Gold Cake Stands.

Graduation parties should create and instill memories and be a moment of celebration for all you and your grad have done over the past 18 years. Pat both of yourselves on the back. You did it!

Planning a graduation party and need help with rentals? We’d love to help! Email our team to book your personal showroom tour at info@southerneventsonline.com to get started!

Catering large and small-scale events alike requires the proper equipment and proper planning. Maybe you’re catering a wedding, high school graduation, or a baby shower. You could be catering for a sit-down meal or a buffet. The purpose of the combined tasks of catering is to allow the host to relax and the guests to have a memorable time. Southern Events has plenty of catering equipment available for rent to help these tasks run smoothly for your Nashville, Franklin or Middle Tennessee event. From catering outdoor events to food prep the moment before the event begins, we have all the items needed.

Outside Events

If you’re looking for catering equipment for an outside event, there are so many things to consider. Inclement weather – will it rain, be super hot, super sunny? Bugs – how can you protect the food you’ve worked so hard to create from getting ruined by flies and the like? Location – will it be in the middle of a field? How will you get the food and equipment to the location? Southern Events has rentals to solve all of these problems. Pop-Up Tents to protect from sun and rain, Plate Covers to protect the food, Trash Cans for waste, Banquet Tables with Risers for prep and Coolers to keep food.

Food Safety and Prep

When catering, you want the food to taste just as good when the guests eat it as it did the second it was finished cooking or baking.  You also want to keep in mind food-safety concerns. How long can your meal sit out at room temperature? We have rentals such as Chafing Dishes, Tray Stands, Hot Boxes and Banquet Tables with Risers to help you pull all of this off! When it comes to catering, much of the time you’re prepping food up until the very end! We have rentals for the prep process as well.

If you’re catering for an upcoming wedding or event, we’d love to help you! Email our team to book your personal showroom tour at info@southerneventsonline.com to get started!

Boutique festivals, craft fairs, food shows, wine walks… beautiful weather calls for beautiful outdoor events. When creating spaces for these fun and creative events, one thing to keep in mind is the need for an inviting and warm atmosphere. This can be created easily with rentals from Southern Events. From pop-up tents to furniture, we have just what you need to put on a festival, or artisan event.

When it comes to the big picture planning, you’ll need to create a temporary space for attendees to gather and artisans to show their wares. We have multiple rentals to that effect, such as our comprehensive Pop Up Packages, which include chairs, tables, easels, and linens to ensure your event is professional and cohesive.

At your boutique festival or artisan event, do you plan to feature local entertainment? If so, a Dance Floor to allow a designated space for guests to cut a rug is a great idea! We have plenty of options to choose from, from checkered to wooden to black.

In order to ensure attendees at your craft for or boutique festival are safe and to allow for good traffic flow, Portable Fencing is a must! Place fencing where lines should form, to help with parking, to fence off segmented areas, etc.

Comfortable gathering spaces ensure guests are able to chat, enjoy the delicious food available, and rest from all of the amazing shopping and activities available at your event. Southern Events has rentals to help you create the exact vibe you are wanting for your event. We love the Sutton Collection for comfortable outdoor lounging, as well as the Barnwood Furniture from our Farm Collection.

For added coziness and warmth for your craft fair or artisan festival, we recommend adding rugs in your gathering spaces. Southern Events has a plethora of rugs to choose from. Looking for a boho vibe? Our Gray and Blush Rug will fit right in. For a modern, more masculine feel, our Cowhide Rug is perfect.

As the weather cools and guests get ready to lounge and enjoy the evening, a fire pit or a heater will make sure your boutique festival attendees stay warm and cozy. We recommend the Hammered Fire Pit or Umbrella- Style Heater.

If you’re in the process of planning a boutique festival or artisan fair, we’d love to help you! Email our team to book your personal showroom tour at info@southerneventsonline.com to get started!
