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! There are hundreds of ways to ensure your guests feel all the holiday vibes. A mid-century glam holiday theme with a navy, gold, and white color combination is one of our current favorite holiday looks. Glamorous and full of mid-century nods, you’ll have your guests celebrating Don Draper-style, with a side of chic. Here are the rentals you need to bring this holiday party design to life:

Gold

Gold metallics such as our Loren Bistro Table and Avenue Shelving add clean, sophisticated lines. Other gold elements such as our Champagne Sequin Linen bring in that glam effect.

White

White elements bring in that clean and mod look that is so iconic when it comes to mid-century themes. We suggest using our Harpeth Bar, Mercer Lounge Collection, or Mid-Century Bar Stools!

Navy

Navy is such a luxe neutral, and it really doesn’t get more luxe than navy velvet. Our  Navy Blue Velvet Linens and Rory Navy Velvet Chairs are absolutely perfect for this.

With natural light pouring into the wedding venue from all angles, 14Tenn in Nashville, Tennessee, is a sought-after event space for holding weddings and events of all shapes and sizes. As one of the venue’s exclusive vendors, we adore designing and dressing this space with our unique wedding and party rentals. The gorgeous, well-lit event venue becomes something new each and every time we get the opportunity to create events there. Crisp white walls, warm wood floors, and obscenely large windows create the perfect canvas.

Wedding Inspiration at 14Tenn

For a recent style shoot with Styled Shoots Across America, we had the opportunity to create a luxe and inviting wedding look at this Middle Tennessee wedding venue. Our Marine Navy Velvet Sofa and Armchairs brought a welcome pop of color to the serene and modern space. A Navy Rug added warmth and comfort (guests always love an inviting space to sip, sit, and chat).

When working with white walls and wood floors, we jump at the chance to bring in gold accents. The color combination always creates a swoon-worthy, almost ethereal aesthetic. A timeless style that brides and grooms love. We completed the look with our Gold Chiavari Chairs – to evoke that magical, blissful feeling that all wedding days should have!

For the wedding reception portion of the design, we combined rustic elements with rich, warm colors. Our Fruitwood Farm Table and mismatched white vintage chairs were both inviting and rustic. To up the elegance a bit, we added Magnolia Green Velvet Linens, Hob Nob Glassware, and Gold Accent China. A classic pairing if we do say so.

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 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.

Nashville Baby Guide Launch ~ The Lodge in Franklin

Kid-friendly spaces at events help children feel special while allowing for overall seamless event design. When creating and designing events for clients, we see no reason why the little ones can’t also have adorable areas to sit and eat! From whimsical pink and white chairs to adorably sophisticated cross-back chairs and beyond, we believe matching the kid areas with the rest of the event is a wonderful way to say “ultimate chic”. Check out this previous post for some of our favorite kid-friendly wedding reception rentals.

We recently created a few kid-approved looks for the Nashville Baby Guide Launch Party. If you’re here for sweet pink, charming blue, and trendy flamingos, then you’re in the right place! Pairing our Pink Chiavari Children’s Chair with our classy Fruitwood Children’s Farm Table, we designed inviting spaces for kids to enjoy oops-free meals on our Melamine Dinnerware. The kids’ areas coordinated beautifully with sophisticated adult areas. Hob Nob Glassware and Fuschia Etched Velvet Linens helped hold the playful vibe while staying “grown-up” and chic.

Pro tip: Simple activities such as adorable coloring areas help keep children busy while moms enjoy their “Mom-osas”

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.

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!
