Imagine an event spent under the night sky, with music in the air and a refreshing cocktail in hand. Yep, that sounds like a Nashville-themed outdoor party to us! If this has you feeling inspired, keep reading for a curated list of outdoor party rentals for your Music City gathering!

Indoor to Outdoor Spaces

Hosting a comfortable backyard party is all about knowing how to make the most of a space! Utilizing both indoor and outdoor areas will allow more room for guests to mingle. Consider setting up different social areas where guests can move to and from to interact with others. Outdoors, create a cozy space with our Sutton Lounge Collection and Navy Rug. On a patio or covered terrace, set up a handful of stylish bistro tables outfitted with any of our luxe linens linens – Kennedy looks great no matter the weather!

Delightful Drinks

A well-planned Nashville Themed outdoor party is likely to include refreshing cocktails. And in Nashville, you’ll most definitely find bourbon! Having the right outdoor bar set up that is both functional and stylish is vital for a successful outdoor party. For a sizeable crowd, feature any of our rustic-inspired bars. Such as our Antique White Franklin Bar or Whiskey Barrel Barnwood Bar! Of course, don’t forget to keep it stocked with elegant glassware, like our classic Monaco Rock Glasses.

Interactive Areas

Fire pits just burn with ambiance! Guests love to gather around our Stone Round Fire Pit to perch on Rustic Benches or Chocolate Poufs. Oh, and speaking of ambiance, our Assorted Oversized Lanterns look darling placed near lounging areas and tables. All the while providing extra lights to keep guests safe. To dress up your seating, and keep guests cozy, we recommend that you feature throw pillows and blankets. Just don’t forget to pack the s’mores!

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.

If you’re hosting outdoors, we recommend a brighter palette that will stand out against a lush backdrop, such as a garden. This table features our Light Blue Pindot linens and brown napkins, which beautifully complement our elegant Harlin Dining Chairs. For serving ware, check out our dainty Darcy China, Austin Gold Flatware, and Audrey Gold Rimmed Glassware. Altogether, these pieces make for an absolutely timeless and oh so romantic dinner set up!

Outdoor Cocktail Hours

Last, and certainly not least, is a bar and lounge fitting for a breezy cocktail hour. When hosting an organic spring wedding, let nature do the work and keep your furniture simple. The Franklin Antique White Bar will stand out in a lush setting and is complemented beautifully by our White Bar Back Shelf. For a cozy yet timeless lounge area, you can’t go wrong with warm-toned rentals, such as the Bennett Leather Sofa and Adeline Dining Chairs.

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.
