Found Objects

This event trend mixes comfort with eclectic styling. Think the one-off items and unique find from travel, flea markets and estate sales that natural seem to fit together. Nothing mass produced, items include curated collections of antique furniture, accessories, textiles, industrial objects, architectural fragments. 

Rentals: Casablanca Gold Tabletop Lantern, Rustic Bench, Accent Rugs, Barnwood Coffee Table, Tin Lizzie Bar, Vintage Props

 All Black Event Decor

There’s nothing more luxe than a black-tie event and that formal luxury is coming to your tablescapes, too. The key to designing with a single color instead of a color palette is to select varying materials and textures to keep things three-dimensional. See more on how to pull together this 2019 event trend here.

Rentals: Black Dupioni Table Linen, Onyx Earthen China, Black Chavari Chairs, Black Round Laquer Charger, Franklin Black Wood Bar, Black Stretch Conference Linen

Warm Color Palettes

Pantone set the stage for this warming color trend, choosing Living Coral as their 2019 Pantone Color of the Year. After a solid run of navy and gray, we expect to see red, beige, tan, brown & orange showing up more in event rentals and decor. Add crimson pillows to Lounge Package #23 for a perfect fit to this trend.

Rentals: Bennett Sofa, Chocolate Pouf, Fruitwood Chiavari Chair, Gold Aurora Linen, Bellamy Linen Bench

Pipe and Drape

Boxwood Walls

Going for a more natural look than pipe and drape? Create a garden atmosphere with our beautiful and easily adjustable Boxwood Walls. At 8′ high with the base, these hedge-like wall sections are the perfect way to frame a unique booth area, effortlessly making your space chic and beautiful.

Carpet or Flooring

Most conferences and tradeshows are held in large, bland rooms that feature concrete flooring and white walls. That doesn’t mean your booth has to feel so bare bones! Cover the concrete floor with lush, inviting carpet in bold colors.

Roll out the red carpet for a luxe experience, or go with classic black carpet for a sophisticated looking booth – be sure to also ask about custom flooring with your company’s logo. You would be shocked at what a difference a simple floor covering can make in transforming a bland tradeshow booth into a welcoming, buyer or customer-oriented experience.

AstroTurf

We love bringing the outdoors inside with our conference tradeshow event rentals– particularly when it allows companies to show off their services or merchandise in a fresh new way. Choose our remarkably natural looking astro turf to stage an outdoor scene inside your booth.

Counter Height Gathering Areas

Tradeshows are all about keeping things easy and mobile. Be sure to offer welcoming, casual places for your visitors to gather. We love using counter height tables so buyers can have a seat while our sales reps can show off the latest catalogs or product with ease. For a sleek modern look, choose our Loren Gold Bistro Tables.

If you’re looking to create a more natural or rustic feeling in your booth, try our gorgeous Farm Gathering Bistro Tables.

Cozy Seating Options

You don’t just want visitors to your booth to take a look and walk away! Invite them to stay and enjoy themselves with luxurious and comfortable seating options. Play with textures like plush velvet and fine leather to create visual interest and entice visitors to take a seat and stay a while. Our ever-popular Bennett Leather Sofa is a fantastic conference tradeshow event rentals option. This gorgeous leather couch instantly elevates the look and feel of your booth.

Be sure to provide multiple seating options for visitors to your booth. We recommend combining both sofas and chairs to allow for a flexible, inviting space. Our brand new Rory Navy Velvet Chairs and Farrah Teal Velvet Chairs have been a huge draw. Not only do they grab attention, they’re the perfect comfy spot to take a break from all your tradeshow explorations!

Franklin Pillars and Bars

You’ve got your guests excited about your decor and enjoying your comfortable seating, now how do you display your product and services? That’s where our Franklin Collection Bars come in handy. These elegant, simple bar and pillar pieces make the perfect space to set up displays. Choose from striking white, sleek modern black or natural fruitwood to create a display that shows off all your hard work.

We had the most amazing time at City Winery Nashville‘s Open House, where our distinct wedding rentals helped redefine the unique downtown Nashville wedding space. We love coming here and how our different rentals can change the space – check out the previous open house we partnered on at City Winery! This time, our team mixed modern elements with rustic foundations and some of our newest rentals creating a jaw-dropping design for weddings and couples.

Upstairs, our Adeline Dining Chairs were displayed with City Winery’s large family style table. The rustic vibe of the wooden furniture was accented beautifully by modern place settings, including the Pure Glassware, Rouge Round Chargers, and Earthen China in Alabaster and Stone. As a centerpiece, votive candles and garland were placed in our new Acrylic Rectangle Container.

A lounge area was designed with two Santorini Sofas and Winstead Grey Tufted Bench atop the new Cow Hide Rug. It was all situated beautifully beneath the stunning chandelier as a great informal area for guests to chit-chat.

In the large concert area, we set-up additional tablescapes using our loved Harlin Dining Chairs as guest seating. Ghost Chairs, Charcoal Satin Linen, and Gold Metal Intersect Cubes decorated round tables beneath more beautiful chandeliers. On stage, we debuted our new Gray and Blush Area Rug with a Grayson Farm Table, Gold Metal Intersect Cubes, and Belmont Glass Beaded Chargers.

Just outside the bar area, another lounge area featuring modern wedding rentals with our Metallic Cow Hide Rug was on display. Mercer Leather Couches, Mercer White Ottomans, Silver Throw Pillows and our new Cheval Gold Side Tables were styled together for a modern and chic design.

Thanks so much to EntertainTn and Twila Photography for sharing these amazing photos with us, and to City Winery for having us again! We can’t wait for all the events to come this year!

Southern Events had the best time helping the Nashville Cavaliers celebrate puppy love at their Valentine’s Day Party… aka the CALentine’s PAWty! We were pleased as punch to work with the wonderful Fete Nashville and Enchanted Florist, providing some of our sweetest rentals for the adorable affair.

White wash Farm Bistro Tables were on display and used to show delectable desserts for both canines and their humans. Our Hob Knob Glassware was a delightfully whimsical touch for the puppies’ people to sip and mingle, while darling dogs were treated to the yummiest treats! Our Children’s Farm Tables and Children’s Cross Back Chairs paired perfectly together and were just the right height for the sweet pups to enjoy a delicious snack. The fruitwood from the tables and natural wood from the chairs were a perfect accent and looked even more stunning with florals from Enchanted Florist. And because everyone loves a lounge area, the Cavaliers were treated to one as well with our Black & White Stripe Cabana Bench and the always gorgeous White Trellis Side Table.

So many cute pups, such little time! Thanks so much to Mandy Whitley Photography for these lovely photos.
