On Trend, Southern Events Products, Trends and Inspiration

If you’re searching for a stylish and vibrant theme for your next event, look no further than modern retro! Inspired by the late 1970s through the 90s, our modern retro rentals blend rich colors with sleek, functional designs. Whether it’s a cocktail hour or a laid-back lounge, these pieces are perfect for creating a chic throwback vibe that’s totally on trend. Dive into our collection of party furniture rentals to craft a modern retro experience your guests won’t forget!

Groovy Lounge Vibes

Transform your event into a retro haven with our groovy lounge furniture. Imagine guests sinking into plush sofas and metallic armchairs that evoke the stylish simplicity of late-century design. From muted olive tones to bold, vibrant hues, our lounge pieces offer the perfect blend of comfort and cool. Jacqueline and Fern are fan favorites, made of buttery velvet in rich colors. Pair these pieces with an equally bold armchair, like Gloria in mustard. Or, choose a more sleek design like the Farrah Teal Velvet or Gold Bamboo Arm Chair.

Retro-Chic Accents

It’s all about the details when it comes to pulling off a modern retro theme, and our retro-chic accents are just what you need to elevate your event. Think hammered gold or pewter tables that exude understated luxury, or cozy Turkish Rug Ottoman that add warmth and depth to your seating area. And don’t forget the finishing touch—a neutral cowhide rug that ties everything together with its classic texture. These accessories may be subtle, but they pack a punch, turning any space into a polished, retro-inspired scene that feels both nostalgic and fresh.

Tabletop Time Travel

Bring the past to your party with our retro-inspired tabletop rentals that marry form and function in the most stylish way possible. Our collection includes everything from richly colored linens to funky dinner plates that echo the era’s flair for the dramatic. Start with a bold base, like velvet linens in a warm Golden tone or deep Ocean Blue. Or achieve an eclectic vibe when you feature mismatched napkins! To make these shades stand out even more, place them atop solid plates – Alabaster or Onyx Earthen China. And just because you’re going retro doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy a bit of glam! Sprinkle in a few metallics with Gold Rim Glass Chargers or Brushed Copper Flatware.

Retro Cocktail Hour Essentials

No modern retro event is complete without a cocktail hour that’s just as stylish as the rest of your setup. Our retro hour essentials include everything you need to serve drinks with a dash of nostalgia. Picture the gleaming Chelsea Marble Top Bar, where guests can treat themselves to water or lemonade in amber or green water goblets. Alternatively, make a statement with our White 6-Tier Serving Tower. A stylish grab-and-go option when you feature our contemporary Cybil Champagne Glasses.

Somerset Blue showing out at @thecordelle. 💙

Blue and white printed linens in an urban setting — bright, elegant, and exactly the kind of table that makes a downtown venue feel like it was always meant for this. Pattern can carry a room when it's the right one.

Pink and mint walked into a wedding at @cjsoffthesquare and honestly? They owned it. 🌸

Floral ceremony, white folding chairs, and reception tables that committed fully to the color story.

Moody done right. 🍷
Deep plum linens, rattan chargers, and our Lucia Frayed Napkins — this table had texture coming from every direction without ever feeling like too much.

From the first drink to the last plate — this is the part guests remember. ✨ A cocktail that lands right, a table that actually felt designed.

The @franklinrodeo is proof that corporate events don't have to play it safe 🤠

Amber glassware, cowhide rugs, wood furniture, a large bar — the setup had a clear point of view and the crowd responded to it. When the rental selections match the energy of the event, guests notice!

Something new is in the showroom ✨

Meet Welles — a soft blue china with a delicate pattern around the rim that sits right in that sweet spot between understated and memorable. Also available in Wheat for a warmer take on the same quiet elegance.

Fresh, bright, and just the right amount of fun. 🍊

This setup for @GraceWorksTN is giving us all the spring feels — orange and white pops of color paired with our new Natural Willow chairs. Simple, cozy, and somehow exactly right.

Harlindale Farm hits different in the evening. 🌿

Loved being part of the @friendsoffranklinparks event — barn setting, bright linens, vintage-inspired blue glassware, and the kind of crowd that genuinely cares about this place. Franklin does community well!
