On Trend | Pretty In Pastel: Our Most Popular Spring Rentals

On Trend, Southern Events Products, Trends and Inspiration

chic spring event design ideas and rentals

Nothing is quite as invigorating as a bright spring gathering after a long and dreary winter. As nature springs back to life consider hosting a casual outdoor party. Whether it is a simple backyard dinner or a semi-formal cocktail hour, light bites, refreshing beverages, and good company are exactly what the doctor calls for! Get inspired by our most popular spring event design ideas, featuring our pastel event rentals. From chic linens and elegant serving ware to dreamy lounge areas, we have everything you need to host a sunny spring soiree.

Sleek & Chic Serving Pieces

Is it just us or does a well-thought-out place setting make for an extra charming table? Modern chic event design calls for a bright palette featuring crisp serving ware with a splash of color. Start with simple china, such as the Classic Round or dainty Darcy, and for a more muted white, consider Alabaster Earthen China. You can add texture with our Elegant Rattan White Wash Charger or Scalloped Wood Charger – paired with pastel linens, you’ll achieve an elegant table. If you would like a little more color, swap the white china out for brighter plates – perhaps the Coronado, Laguna, or Veral Floral China. Choosing flatware is simple. Just select a polished, matte, or brushed finish.

Fancy Glassware + Drink Displays

One of our favorite spring event ideas is signature drinks. And we have a variety of gorgeous glassware that will elevate any cocktail (or mocktail)! Popular choices include Cybil Wine Glass, Monaco Rock Glass, and Pure Water Glass. Our Franklin 4 Ft Antique White Bar is a classic choice for a small gathering. Use it to display your favorite alcohol and mixers. Or feature batch cocktails placed atop our Rattan Beverage Jar Stand. If you need additional display pieces, take a look at our White 6-Tier Serving Tower or White Bookcase.

Bright Linens

Linens are one of the most effective ways to incorporate color into your event table. And we have a huge array of pastel event rentals to help you create a spring-inspired tablescape! From subtle blue and purple hues to sunny yellows and greens. You can add as many colors or shades of color as you like by mixing and matching tablecloths and napkins.

Create a trendy monochromatic look by pairing our Peaches n’ Cream Poly Linens with Coral Velvet Napkins, or pair classic colors with a buttery texture when you combine our Fern Velvet Tablecloth with Navy Blue Velvet Napkins. Other gorgeous choices include Lilac Poly, Honey Poly, and Light Blue Pindot. If you prefer muted pastels, be sure to consider our Kennedy Collection.

Sunny Outdoor Event Lounges

Is there any better way to enjoy the outdoors than a sunny lounge area? Having at least one, if not several, will encourage your guests to cozy up and hang out – hopefully with a cocktail in hand! Start with a stylish sofa that will stand out against nature. Such as the Everly or Bennett Leather Sofa. Then consider armchairs, like our always popular Gloria Velvet. Or sub in dining chairs for an extra-chic look, whether it be the Harlin or Adeline chairs.

You will also want a set of accent tables, which can be a great way to add in metallics – like the Gold Hammered or Cheval Gold Mirror Side Tables. One of the most underrated spring event rentals is our stylish rugs, which will help frame lounge furniture placed on a lawn or gravel – to make the space extra cozy you can also feature a mix of poufs and ottomans.

Southern Style: Colorful Garden Wedding at The Cordelle

Events and Style Shoots, On Trend, Southern Events Products, Trends and Inspiration

colorful garden wedding at the cordelle

Team Southern recently had the opportunity to collaborate with local vendors on a whimsical styled shoot at The Cordelle. An event venue & garden situated in Downtown Nashville, it was a stunning backdrop for the colorful outdoor wedding. With a mix of historic and modern spaces, featuring grandeur and charm, there was no shortage of room to create a functional and on-trend wedding layout. Check out the details from this dreamy garden-inspired wedding, featuring our stylish event rentals.

Seating for a Whimsical Indoor Ceremony

The ceremony took place in The Victorian, featuring brick walls, hardwood floors, and beautiful floor-to-ceiling windows. Contrasting the urban event space, we opted for our elegant Harlin Dining Chairs. Featuring light wood and detailed backs, they were the perfect choice for the dreamy indoor ceremony. An equally gorgeous alternative would have been our Adeline Dining Chairs! While we decided to keep the aisle bare, featuring a mix of our vintage rugs would have also been a beautiful choice, lending a cozy vibe.

A Dreamy Outdoor Reception Set Up

Meanwhile, the 5,000-square-foot Garden Lawn created an ethereal garden reception. The manicured lawn and bistro lights overhead made for a charming outdoor setup – especially come nightfall. Our Fruitwood Farm Tables and Harlin Dining Chairs were the base for the guest tables. This banquet style is perfect if you want a more intimate feel! Set with Heirloom China, Hob Nob Glassware, and Sophia Flatware, the look was elegant and vintage-inspired. Fun fresh florals and Turqouise Poly Napkins provided a punch of color, fitting for the season! Our Davis Glass Cylinders filled in the table centerpieces.

Blue-Hued Wedding Lounge

Eventually, The Victorian was flipped into a cozy cocktail area. Contrasting the warm-toned space, we chose our always popular Saylor Navy Velvet Sofa and Chair. It paired beautifully with a bright Aqua Rug and modern Rhodes Coffee Table. To optimize the space were a handful of cocktail tables – dressed up with deep black linen. Combining with the whimsical florals, it was a perfect cocktail hour set up for the colorful garden wedding.

On-Theme Wedding Cocktails

To match the colorful event design, equally bold wedding cocktails were required! J Jackson Mobile Mixologist served up a variety of delicious colorful cocktails in our Davis and Coupe Glasses. We chose these pieces for their clean shape, contrasting the vintage-inspired Hob Nob Glassware used at each table. We also loved the fun colors of the beverages as well as edible florals!

Chic Cocktail Lounges

A must-have for a cocktail hour is a social area, where guests can sit down and sip on their drinks for a while. Consider a bistro table or lounge areas, or even both! Feature a combination of our sofas, chairs, and accent tables to create a chic setup. Consider our Everly Sofa and Chairs, paired with a set of our Capriano Marble and Copper Accent Tables. We also recommend including a few of our colorful event rentals, whether you opt for a Vintage Rug or swap out the Everly Chairs for our Saylor Navy Velvet Chairs.

Don’t forget to grab a selection of our beautiful glassware for rent – to serve up colorful fruit-infused cocktails! If you won’t have a bar and would prefer a self-serve drink station, our Gold Beverage Jars are a stylish way to dish up big batch cocktails.

Intimate Yet Luxe Dining

If your goal is a true garden dinner party, with more than just appetizers, you’ll also need some elegant tablescapes. We have a variety of beautiful tables and linens for rent, an essential foundation for colorful event design. Start with our Kennedy Fawn or Dusty Blue Etched Velvet Linens. Pastels will lend color but allow vibrant floral centerpieces to shine! If you like the look of more layers, top it off with any of our chiffon runners. For serving ware, keep it simple but don’t be afraid of some texture. Check out our Rattan White Wash Chargers, which pair beautifully with any of our white china. For napkins, any of our luxe linens will do. We also recommend incorporating some pieces featuring metallic colors, whether it be our Austin Gold or Brushed Copper Flatware, for that chic touch.

Organic Reception Tables

When designing your reception tables, carry over the simple but romantic theme. But don’t be afraid of color! This year, we’re loving rich table linens – perfect when featuring white china. A few of our favorites include the Fern Velvet and Sea Glass Velvet Linens. Both of these pair well with our White Round China and Rattan White Wash Chargers. For an extra pop of color, you might also feature our colored goblets in Green or Amber! We love this look for an indoor dinner.

Southern Style: Pastel Summer Event Inspiration

On Trend, Southern Events Products, Trends and Inspiration

Come warmer weather in Tennessee, there is nothing more enjoyable than surrounding yourself with friends and family outdoors. You need to create a bright and memorable setup that complements the season. Today we’re sharing pastel summer event inspiration for your upcoming summer or spring Nashville celebrations, featuring our stylish in-stock rentals.

Soft Pastel Colors

This season we’re complementing the lush foliage and soft flowers with pastel palettes! Ideal for an outdoor event, it will stand out with a fresh and elegant look. While this design features our Wisteria Satin linens, we also offer a Peach Poly, Light Blue Pindot, and Mediterranean Satin. For a cohesive vibe, consider hand-written details for place cards, the menu, or event signage.

Earthen China

To plate up dinner, check out an equally gorgeous alternative to classic china: earthenware. It comes in three beautiful colors, Alabaster, Onyx, and Stone. While Alabaster and Stone are beautiful for a pastel look, don’t overlook Onyx which can be used to lend some contrast to an otherwise bright tablescape. To amp up the look of our earthen china, consider complementing it with one of our unique chargers!

Romantic Chiffon Runners

In terms of centerpieces, florals, lanterns, and geometric table decor – all add to the beauty of a tablescape. If you’re looking to add some texture and romance, however, we recommend a chiffon table runner. They can be used standalone or atop table linens to add volume. You can let them pool around your centerpieces and/or allow them to drape off the edge of your tables for a loose but elegant look.

Elegant Harlin Chairs

One of our favorite pieces of furniture, our Harlin dining chairs are a stunning option for your summer event. Made of wood and with stylish backs, they add an instant touch of elegance to any tablescape. They can also easily be decorated with greenery, for a fresh spring or summer look. For a table that complements these chairs, consider featuring our Fruitwood Farm Tables.

Santorini Furniture

If you plan on taking full advantage of summertime in Tennesse, an outdoor lounge area is a good idea. Perfect for a cocktail hour or post-dinner drinks, it will allow your guests to get cozy and mingle all evening. Keeping with our pastel summer event inspiration, we recommend our Santorini Off-White Sofa paired with an accent table. Or feel free to choose from one of our curated lounge packages!

Rolling Bar Cart

Cold drinks are a must-have at any summer celebration! This summer, we’re loving the look of our vintage-inspired Hob Nob glassware. They’re the perfect way to add a little bit of texture to your tablescape. Or for a more sleek and elegant look opt for our Pure glassware, available in wine glasses, goblets, and champagne flutes. To complete the look, create a luxurious and memorable drink station using our rolling gold bar cart!

On Trend: Backyard Alfresco Dining

On Trend, Southern Events Products, Trends and Inspiration

When the weather is nice, why not enjoy dinner with your family and friends outside? Come spring and summer in Tennessee, there is nothing better than dining in the fresh air, with a cold cocktail in hand. Get inspired for backyard alfresco dining with our stylish in-stock serving ware.

Vibrant Cherry Red & Teal

To complement the colors of the season, we love a vibrant tablescape. This design features cherry red and teal, for a look that is classically southern. Our warm fruitwood farm table acts as a base for White Square China, Navy Blue Velvet napkins, and Pure Glassware. A cool-toned, Dove Grey runner lends another hint of blue to the table. Meanwhile, our Brushed Copper Flatware and Audrey Gold Rim Glassware bring a touch of glam via metallics.

Natural Lime & Lemon

Sometimes less is more! For this natural table design, fresh citrus and fruit was the star of the show. Atop Heritage Ivory Linens, we placed our simple Artisan China and Wood Round Charger, complemented by Brushed Copper Flatware. The centerpieces consisted of fresh greenery and citrus, which were perfect for the lush lawn setting. To tie some greenery into the tablescape, we opted for our favorite fern velvet napkins. This design is ideal for a bright mid-morning brunch or afternoon cocktail hour!

Megan Stark Photography

Rustic Farm-to-Table

When you want a casual yet put-together look, opt for a farm-to-table design. This simple tablescape features our Artisan China, Sophia Flatware, and Madison Glassware. Despite the minimal serving ware and linens, what truly makes this layout is the table and chairs. Take our Cross-back chairs, which are plain yet oh so elegant. For a pop of color, you might consider brightly-colored napkins or a table runner. Perhaps in our Cornsilk Poly or Peaches n’ Cream Poly.

Cassidy Carson Photography

Bold Black & Gold

Black and gold are a classic pairing and surefire way to make a statement. This luxe and bold backyard alfresco dining table showcase a mix of moody hues, including black, gold, and a variety of red shades. For the serving ware, we opted for our Austin Flatware, Medallion Gold Glass Charger, and Madison Glassware. What amplifies this tablescape is the balance from glam elements, such as the gold and acrylic details. Take for example our always popular Acrylic Ghost Chairs! If you prefer an equally colorful but bright style, take a look at this colorful backyard party.

Classic Cookout

There is something so charming about gingham, and this backyard cookout-inspired table just does it for us. It was created using our Onyx China and silver Sophia Flatware. The true black plates are an easy way to bring the fun gingham tablecloth back down to earth. Yet super cute coke bottle centerpieces and our contemporary Davis Glassware keep the overall vibe light. For a look that is slightly more toned down, switch out this tablecloth for a solid or neutral color.

Tents

Unpredictable weather is just a part of the season! Rain can pop-up unexpectedly, making it all the more important that you have a tent on hand and in place. Our current tent packages were created with your needs in mind, and include enough furniture for any size party.

Portable Heater

If you plan on hosting an event that runs well into the night, you should be prepared for the temperature to drop. Our portable Umbrella-Style Heater is a must-have, whether or not you set it up from the get-go. It will help your guests stay warm and prevent the party from ending early!

Lounge Furniture

Our Sutton Lounge Package in Sand is super cozy, in addition to being the perfect neutral color for an autumnal event. We love this piece for a casual social hour, or for a backyard movie night. If you plan on serving food or drinks, be sure to rent the matching ottomans as well!

Interested in reserving these outdoor party rentals for your next event? Want more options on how to design your upcoming company picnic? Whether you’re planning for a company picnic of family reunion, Team Southern can help! Email info@southerneventsonline.com for more.
