Our team understands that the floor is the foundation for your event, and will lend to a more cohesive and aesthetically pleasing look.

Dura-Trac Flooring

Made for the event industry by special event flooring experts, Dura-Trac flooring is an easy-to-install flooring system designed to protect your existing space. The interlocking panel system is the perfect way to protect your space and your guests, making it ideal for festivals, concerts, tented parties, and more! It can be installed over a variety of surfaces, including those that are uneven. Best of all, it can be customized by placing premium vinyl flooring or carpeting over the top. To learn more about our Dura-Trac flooring, download our PDF.

Artificial Grass

Why would you use artificial grass at your event? It’s a unique option that will lend a fun touch of texture to your event. For an indoor event, it will also lend traction, making it perfect for placing on top of existing tile or vinyl flooring. For warm-weather outdoor events, it will actually offer a more natural and welcoming look. Consider renting it for your next tailgating party, trade-show exhibit, or church picnic!

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. Although our classic White and Black dance floor is popular, our Plank Wood dance floor will lend a modern and timeless look to your event.

Making it the perfect vibe for a corporate meeting or summer party on or near July 4th. Take a look at our favorite Americana event rentals, to help you achieve an iconic yet effortless setup.

Laid Back Furniture

To complement your dinner tables, we also carry vintage and urban-inspired chairs.

Vintage-Inspired Servingware

Is an Americana event complete without a bar for toasting and celebrating? Absolutely not! The Bond Bar is equal parts laid-back and vintage. Then there’s our always popular Hob Nob Glassware which lends a touch of elegance. Of course, if you prefer a more sleek design, opt for our Recycled Glassware. To set the table, Artisan China creates a beautiful relaxed look! We also encourage you to infuse a subtle touch of color into your tablescape using our luxurious 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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Once the temperature drops here in Nashville, TN, we begin dreaming about holiday event & party design. Holiday gatherings, dinner parties, winter weddings, and corporate events are right around the corner!
