Neutral color palettes have been popular as they offer a stylish yet timeless look. However, there are both cool and warm neutral colors, which will lend a completely different vibe to an event. Today, we’re doling out some inspiration featuring our natural-neutral wedding rentals! These warm-toned pieces will lend a modern yet organic theme to your event.

Natural-Neutral Place Settings

One of our favorite ways to feature natural neutrals is via an elegant tablescape. We carry a large variety of warm-toned serving ware for creating a cohesive and memorable layout. For starters, consider our Fruitwood Farm Table for the perfect warm-toned base. Alternatively, a table with light-colored linen will add a brighter base.

These elegant tables are warm and feature pink for a fun feminine flair. Both are accented with metallic gold accents, for a wonderful luxe look! We always recommend a touch of texture. For instance, using neutral velvet table linens or a wood tabletop with a table runner.

Worried that your tablescape will be overwhelmingly warm-toned? Add in a touch of cool-toned neutrals. These tables are beautifully balanced thanks to silver accents. Our Earthen Onyx or Earthen Stone China always pairs well with a warm-toned charger or napkins. Or feature silver flatware atop a neutral table or table linens.

Linens

Speaking of linens, let’s cover a few of our favorites. First up is our stunning Golden Velvet Linens. With a buttery texture, this piece will make a gorgeous base for a luxe tablescape. It pairs well with cream, white or brown. Next up is Kennedy Natural, with a beautiful woven texture. It will lend a touch of texture to a table and is a subtle and elegant color. Finally, there is our Ivory Sahara Runner. Place this runner atop our Fruitwood Farm table for a slightly more casual vibe.

Neutral Lounge Furniture

What’s a social event without a cute and cozy lounge area? We carry a range of comfortable, natural neutral furniture. First up is our Tessa Tufted Beige Linen Loveseat, which is a beautiful piece for a sweetheart table, as well as smaller lounge areas. Alternatively, our Bennett Leather Sofa is a rich brown color and the perfect size for a larger event. Lastly, be sure to check out one of the newest additions to our catalog, the Everly sofa! This cream-colored piece features an arched silhouette, pad feet, a camelback, and carved arms, plus a distressed wood frame.

Luxe But Sustainable

Luxe events aren’t going anywhere but we’re seeing an increased interest in sustainability. There are multiple ways to host a sustainable event via rentals. The first is reusable serving ware, including china, flatware, glassware, and linens. Rentals are an easy and beautiful way to reduce the waste produced by your event.

In terms of styling, expect lots of lush plants & greenery. Potted plants are especially beautiful and perfect for aisle decor and table centerpieces.  The same goes for dried plants, which lend lots of texture. Pampas grass in particular is trending, as it easily adds volume and height. Expect to see an increasing amount of dried flower bouquets and arrangements.

This emerald, cream & gold tablescape features our Gold Rim Glass Charger, Alabaster Earthenware, Gold Austin Flatware, Fern Velvet Linens, Colored Glassware & Pure Glassware.

All Out Events

Go big or go home right? One 2021 trend is events that are memorable, not necessarily in size but in the details. Diva Boho-themed events are a great example. Think of bold & intricate geometric patterns, and voluminous flowers or other organic arrangements. Metallics are also here to stay, as they are a quick way to add some sparkle and shine to an event. At this type of event, you can tell that every thoughtful detail was well planned and executed.

This bright textured tablescape was created using our Medallion Gold Glass Chargers, Onyx Earthenware, Austin Flatware & Audrey Gold Rim Glassware.

A Focus on Sentimentality

People are gravitating towards heirlooms and the texture of various things that draw them to the past – we expect this event trend to only get bigger in 2021. Not necessarily a boho theme, but colors and textures that incite a sense of nostalgia. So sustainable handmade pieces lend texture, such as clay, jute, and wicker decor. This trend also applies to attire, in the form of heirloom jewelry, clothing, and accessories. For weddings, think dresses with intricate old-school embroidery in an ivory or cream color. One great example is celestial-inspired events, where texture and vintage or retro items are easy to incorporate into the design.

Recreate this romantic neutral design with our Driftwood Velvet Napkins, Artisan China, Cybil Glassware, & Como Flatware.
