As the countdown to the New Year begins, what better way to usher in a fresh start than with a celebration that radiates opulence and prosperity? Southern Events is prepared with silver and gold event rentals for New Year’s Eve. A stylish and modern choice that will ensure that your festivities are nothing short of spectacular! Get ready to welcome 2024 in style with our guide to hosting a dazzling soirée featuring bold metallic details that ooze luxury.

Serving Ware that Shines

Make a statement from the moment your guests arrive with serving ware that sparkles and shines. Elevate your dining experience by opting for metallic flatware, gold-rimmed glassware, and eye-catching chargers that exude sophistication. We offer a curated selection of metallic serving pieces that will not only impress your guests but also elevate the overall aesthetic of your New Year’s Eve feast. If you prefer gold, create a timeless stack using the Glass Charger with Gold Rim and Ophelia China with Austin Gold Flatware. For those who love silver, its easy to achieve an elegant table with a Silver Round Lacquer Charger and Carrera Marble Dinner Plates or Glass China. Complete the place setting with our classic Brooklyn or elegant Abby Flatware. Alternatively, metallic flatware will POP against bold linens! Just like this Brushed Copper Flatware on top of Black Linens and Onyx China.

Shimmering Event Linens

A subtle detail that can elevate any table is the right choice of linens. Drape your tables with shimmering tablecloths in gold, silver, or metallic hues to create a luxurious foundation. Consider the Silver White Leaf or Silver Furrow linens for an elegant icy look. If you aren’t afraid to go big and bold, the solid Gold Gold Fairmount or Victorian Luxe Gold are a striking choice! Meanwhile, the Gold Furrow Linens are more subtle. Lastly, dark linens will beautifully contrast bright china. Such as our popular Grey Nova with soft swirls of silver and gold. The play of light on these textured linens will create a captivating atmosphere. Ensuring your guests remember this New Year’s Eve celebration for years to come.

We offer a range of metallic-finished chairs, and accent pieces that will add a touch of glamour to your party space. A classic choice for New Year’s dinners or galas is our Gold Chiavari Chairs. You might also consider incorporating gold and silver furniture pieces throughout lounge areas. One of our favorite ways to achieve this is with accent tables. We have beautiful standalone pieces like the Blanche or Avalon Round Coffee Table. Or sets, such as our favorite Echo Mirrored Side Tables. Your guests will appreciate the attention to detail as they lounge in comfort and style. Or, keep it simple when you feature our Charleston Bistro Table or the larger Loren Gold Bistro Table.

Sparkling Barware

No New Year’s Eve party is complete without a well-stocked bar, and what better way to showcase your libations than with a sparkling bar area? Elevate your drink service with metallic glassware, including the Celia Gold Rim. Served from the contemporary Cheslea Marble Top Bar. To ensure your beverage station not only serves top-notch drinks but serves as a visual centerpiece, store your glassware or bottles on the Gold Avenue Bar Back Shelf. Another option is to create a self-service drink station with hot beverages. Our Silver Coffee Urns are perfect for dishing out coffee or hot chocolate following dinner.

Southern Style | Host an Elegant Baby Sprinkle

On Trend, Southern Events Products, Trends and Inspiration

elegant baby sprinkle ideas

At-home baby showers offer an intimate and personalized way to celebrate the upcoming arrival of a little one. And at Southern Events, we believe that even the smallest moments deserve grandeur! That’s why we’re here to guide you on how to host an elegant baby sprinkle that will impress your guests or the mom-to-be. From curated furniture and vibrant event linens to charming dinnerware and trendy props. Our expertise in event rentals will make it easy to bring your baby shower or sprinkle vision to life.

What is a Baby Sprinkle?

A smaller version of a traditional baby shower, a baby sprinkle is typically held for parents who are expecting their second or subsequent child. The term “sprinkle” conveys the idea that the event is more about a show of support, rather than showering them with extensive gifts and attention – often associated with a first-time baby shower. Largely because parents already have many of the essential baby items from their previous child. Instead, the focus is on gathering with close friends and family in a casual setting. Making it the perfect occasion to celebrate with an intimate informal dinner at home!

Stylish Dining Tables & Chairs

Transform your home into a haven of sophistication with our beautiful event furniture. Choose from a range of rentals that exude Southern charm, featuring warm woodsy tones and soft antique details. For a modern rustic vibe, consider the Aged Oak Table paired with the Harlin Dining or Cross-Back Chairs. If you’re leaning towards a brighter look, the White Antique Dining Table and Antique White Bentwood Chairs are a fantastic choice. With these curated pieces, you can easily create an unforgettable setting. Or the foundation for an elegant baby sprinkle theme.

Brightly Colored Event Linens

Set the tone for your baby sprinkle with event linens that exude charm and anticipation. Hint at the baby’s gender with bold or pastel shades. Like the Heritage Light Blue and Navy Blue Velvet for a boy. Or, the Kennedy Pink and Lilac Poly for a girl. Alternatively, embrace beautiful neutral tones! With colors like Golden Velvet or the classic Sage Poly. To infuse an extra touch of elegance, explore unique materials. Such as buttery satin, soft velvet, or lightweight linen. These will not only serve as a backdrop for your celebration but lend depth and dimension to the table.

Darling Dinner Ware

The dinner table is where memories are made and conversations flow. Make a lasting impression with our elegant and bright china. Achieve a modern look with the White Coupe China and Rattan White Wash Charger. Or opt for a softer look with the Alabaster Earthen China. Paired with charming Darcy Chargers, featuring a delicate scalloped edge. Add a hint of luxury with gold accents like the Vera Floral China. Or the Coronado pattern for a subtle pop of color. To complete your place setting, all of these pieces harmonize seamlessly with our Celia Gold Rim Glassware and Austin Flatware.

Focal Points That Delight

Create focal points that spark conversations and double as stylish props. Our bars are not only perfect for serving drinks but make for eye-catching displays. Perfect for desserts like gender reveal cakes! The Alice Bar exudes elegance. While the Chelsea Marble Top Bar adds a modern retro touch to your setup. Looking for something more playful? Our Market Cart can be easily customized with colorful balloons and signage. Adding a whimsical element to the ambiance. Consider pairing it with the Vintage Popcorn Machine that playfully declares “She’s About to Pop!”

Tips to Host a Feel-Good Party with Sustainable Event Rentals

Southern Events Products, Trends and Inspiration

green goblets colorful glassware for weddings

Hosting a party is a wonderful way to celebrate life’s special moments with friends and family. However, in our efforts to create memorable events, we often overlook the environmental impact. From plastic disposables to excessive waste, parties can generate a considerable carbon footprint. But fear not, there is a better way! By choosing sustainable event rentals, we can reduce our ecological footprint while still throwing a stylish gathering. Explore how you can host a feel-good party by renting linens, china, and other serving pieces from Southern Events Online.

High-Quality Linens

When it comes to creating an eco-friendly tablescape, opting for sustainable linens is a fantastic choice. Instead of disposable tablecloths and paper napkins, consider renting high-quality fabric linens. Reusable tablecloths made from natural fibers like linen or cotton not only exude elegance but also reduce waste significantly. We stock a variety of options for every occasion! From whimsical pastels to bold jewel tones and sophisticated patterns. Plus, seasonally-inspired options such as Four Seasons Floral for a sunny summer soiree. Or, perhaps an Ocean Blue Velvet Tablecloth contrasted with Lavender and Hot Pink Napkins for a bold jewel-toned look.

Reusable China and Flatware

Ditch the disposable plates and cutlery in exchange for timeless china and flatware. Renting ceramic or porcelain dishes not only adds sophistication to your table settings. It also helps prevent single-use plastic waste from piling up in landfills, and your garbage cans. Stack our Darcy Charger with the Liana China, along with the Abby silver flatware for a charming vintage-inspired table. Or, for a more modern vibe, complement a Glass Charger with Black Rim and Earthen Alabaster China with Austin Gold Flatware. Need a setting that oozes luxury? You can’t go wrong with our Hamlet China – although the sleek Athena China is equally striking. Moreso when contrasted by the Noir Matte Black Flatware. Mix and match to your heart’s desire, or take a look at some of our favorite on-trend party plates for more inspiration.

Eye-Catching Glassware

One of the biggest culprits of waste at parties is plastic cups. Eliminate this waste by renting glassware for your beverages – an eye-catching alternative! From wine glasses to tumblers and everything in between, glassware rentals add a touch of class and sustainability to your party. In addition to being an easy way to infuse an extra touch of style. Take for example our Cybil glassware, with a funky modern shape. Or our beaded glassware, oozing coastal charm. Furthermore, consider using beverage dispensers for serving drinks. Not only do they look stylish, but they also minimize the need for single-use plastic bottles and cans. Infuse water with fresh fruits or herbs to create a refreshing and visually appealing drink station.

Stylish Serving Pieces

When it comes to serving food, to parties large or small, we offer a variety of options to suit your needs. Chafing dishes, which keep food warm, are excellent for buffet-style events and help reduce food waste by maintaining optimal serving temperatures. Meanwhile, family-style serving bowls encourage guests to share food, fostering a sense of community and reducing individual packaging waste. Finally, silver trays and charcuterie boards lend a touch of sophistication to your spread while avoiding disposable platters and trays.

On Trend, Southern Events Products

A memorable event calls for attention to detail! One of our favorite ways to elevate any celebration is with an elegant place setting. From casual backyard gatherings to elegant dinner parties, the right plates can enhance the aesthetic of your event. This said, buying a large number of plates can be expensive! Whereas paper plates are dull and wasteful. That’s where Southern Events comes in! With a large catalog of party plates for rent, we offer an on-trend option for every celebration.

Modern Metallics

Metallics continue to reign supreme in event decor. When it comes to party plates, metal accents are an easy way to turn a plain table setting into a glam spread. We stock a number of chargers with metallics to elevate your table. From a modern Copper Glass Charger to a Silver Round Lacquer Charger. For a more dark and moody vibe, check out our Black Round Lacquer Chargers. Or create a chic place setting with the Silver Beaded Edge Belmont Chargers. Any of these plates is a stunning base for colorful or classic white china!

Chic Party Prints

If you’re looking to infuse your personality and style into your event, printed plates are a beautiful choice. Our inventory includes styles to suit various themes and moods. Whether you’re hosting a whimsical garden party or a bright al fresco dinner party. Feature a metallic accent with the Blair Geometeric or Vera Floral China. Or, add a pop of color with the elegant Laguna or Coronado China. Of course, there is no going wrong with our Carrera Marble Dinner Plates. They look gorgeous on top of a vibrant charger or paired with a colorful napkin!

Down-to-Earthenware

If you desire a more rustic and organic aesthetic, earthenware plates are ideal. Their soft tones, textured surfaces, and imperfect edges exude warmth and charm. Our selection of beautifully crafted earthenware plates is perfect if you are in need of a dinnerware rental. Easily create a modern rustic wedding table with the color Alabaster. Or a bold table for a corporate gala with Onyx. Meanwhile, Stone is a classic and pairs perfectly with soft pastel shades. Such as pink, baby blue, and lavender. For added warmth, we recommend adding a set of velvet napkins.

Textures that Elevate

Placed beneath the main dinner plates, chargers add depth to a table setting. However, you can easily add even more dimension by featuring a textured charger. There is our Rattan White Wash Charger, perfect for a bright and breezy brunch or afternoon tea. As well as a Scalloped Wood Charger, which lends a luxe boho vibe. Or, skip the charger and opt for a crisp set of Glass Mosaic China. A clean and modern look fitting for a gala or fundraiser! Especially when paired with classic white napkins.

A new year and new design trends call for new event rentals! In 2023 we expect to see an increase in elevated events that showcase an attention to detail, big and small. Whether you’re planning a bold modern wedding, an intimate birthday bash, or a casual backyard soiree. To help you host a well-thought-out event that will leave a lasting impression on your guests, take a look at our new in-stock event rentals, from luxe linens to sleek serving ware and trendy event furniture.

Stylish Serving Ware + Linens

Modern event tables are bigger and brighter than ever. But rather than featuring intricate serving ware, centerpieces serve as the focal point. Such as large floral arrangements and bold textured linens. Meanwhile, chargers, china, and flatware are sleek and simple. Together, these details lend a perfect balance between minimalism and maximalism! This aesthetic is easy to achieve with our new serving ware & linens. Create a moody neutral table starring our Sahara Runner in White, topped with a Glass Charger with Black Rim and Noir Matte Black Flatware. For a more chic design, try our Sierra Runner in Rose with Georgia China and Fresno Matte Gold Flatware.

Pro Tip: Add a fun splash of color with our velvet napkins in timeless colors like Driftwood or Magnolia.

Trendy Lounge Furniture

If you’ve read any of our blogs then you know we love a stylish event lounge! They are a simple but effective way to elevate any event, from corporate cocktail hours to weddings or backyard parties. To help our clients create one-of-a-kind areas that encourage guests to sit, sip and mingle, we’re adding new furniture to our inventory. Including accent tables, plush sofas, and armchairs. Some of our favorite additions are the Marine Navy Velvet Chair and Grey Tufted Ottoman. Both of which look stunning paired with a Hammered Coffee Table, in Pewter or Gold. To stay on top of the trends we have also updated our lounge packages – be sure to take a look to see if any of these curated collections align with your upcoming event.

On-Theme Event Bars

If there is one item that every event needs, it’s a bar! These versatile pieces aren’t just for serving drinks, but can also be used for displaying food, decor, and more. That’s why this year we are adding a new variety of bars to our inventory that will align with current design trends and event themes. Take our Chelsea Marble Top Bar, a luxe piece fitting for modern retro events or chic cocktail parties. Meanwhile, staple pieces like the Harpeth 8ft Bar can be customized with signage, for weddings or corporate galas! Or create an elegant dessert or champagne tower using White 6-Tier Serving Tower.

On Trend: Stylish Serving Pieces for Holiday Parties

Southern Events Products

Supporting image

Nothing brings good tidings and cheer like delicious holiday fare – deviled eggs, butter-laden potatoes, gravy-smothered turkey. In fact, food remains the focal point of most holiday celebrations, wherein family and friends gather around the table. This makes it all the more important that you serve your painstakingly created dishes in style – that and it somehow makes the food taste better. Take a look at our stylish serving pieces for holiday parties, and other catering rentals, that will make for a memorable food-focused gathering.

Luxe Hors D’oeuvres & Entrees

Which is better – hor d’oeuvres or entrees? We can’t decide, but there is no doubt that appetizers have picked up in popularity in recent years. Maybe it’s the charcuterie fad, but people seem to love these flavor-packed and visually stunning creations. And what better way to display them than a gorgeous Silver Tray – try Carson Rectangle for charcuterie or Carson Round for tidbits on toothpicks. If you prefer a rustic-inspired alternative, our Wood Charcuterie Board or Wood Melamine Tray are both gorgeous.

Come time for dinner, create a complete look using our crisp white Melamine Serving Pieces. From deep platters to bowls and trays, there is a piece for every tasty morsel. Add on other essentials, like a Rattan Bread Basket – for those fan-favorite rolls. Plus a Stainless Steel Gravy Boat (or two)! If you plan to have a larger guest count and want to keep dinner service easy peasy, no problem. We rent chafing dishes, plus stock a variety of other catering rentals.

Fanciful Dessert Plates

What are the holidays without your favorite desserts? Alongside charcuterie, dessert displays are also popular – elegant tiered arrangements featuring everything from homemade pies to handheld puddings. Our Marble and Gold Cake Stands are adjustable, ideal for creating a custom arrangement. And our Windsor Stands would be a fun add-on. For a rustic-inspired table, feature the Wyatt Pedestals alongside the Willow 2-Tiered Stand – perfect for minis! Of course, you’ll also need plates. We recommend any of our gold accent china, for that luxe seasonal look. Check out Hamlet for a traditional table, or Athena for a more modern setting.

Beautiful Beverage Displays

Easily the most underrated serving pieces for rent are our beverage dispensers, for a coffee or tea service. Regardless of the size of your holiday party, these elegant pieces will make for an elevated experience. We have options for table service or drink stations, including the Silver Coffee Server and Silver Coffee Urn. Just don’t forget the matching cream and sugar set – a must for that charming old-school look. For larger parties, or if you plan to feature a build-you-own hot chocolate bar, opt for a larger Copper Coffee Urn. You might also throw in a second Silver Urn, to provide a spiked coffee or hot chocolate option for the adults!

Holiday Party Planning Tips (& Bonus Checklist!)

Southern Events Products, Trends and Inspiration

glassware

The key to throwing a successful holiday party (and not throwing your sanity out of the window) is proper preparation. If you’ve ever hosted a holiday party before, you understand how chaotic planning can be. Even then, you may still feel like you’re scrambling trying to get things done at the last minute. This is why we want to treat you to a stress-free holiday party planning experience. Whether you’re hosting an intimate holiday dinner at home or a large formal gala! Check out our tips below on holiday party must-haves, featuring our stylish rentals. Plus, grab our Holiday Party Checklist that will make it easy to execute a jolly affair!

On-Trend Holiday Office Party

Hosting a holiday party at the office can be limiting, but that doesn’t mean it should be boring. Start by adding some color to the office with festive linens in a brilliant Heritage Cranberry or deep Magnolia Green. If you’re serving food, even just appetizers, pass on the paper plates and opt for Gold Accent China paired with matching Gold Austin Flatware. Finally, serve up a DIY Hot Cocoa or Coffee Bar (don’t forget the Baileys!), with our hot beverage dispensers. Alternatively, treat your team to a casual cocktail hour featuring a formal bar and a menu of seasonal cocktails in fancy glassware!

Casual Holiday Luncheon

When hosting a holiday luncheon, chances are you’ll be inviting co-workers, peers, and people you may want to network with. That’s why you’ll want the event to feel approachable, yet still have a formal holiday vibe. In order to achieve this, you’ll want to have coordinating linens such as our Champagne Sequin Linen, Chafing Dishes, and Copper Beverage Service Equipment – to give your holiday party a festive feel. To make sure guests feel welcome and encouraged to mingle, we also recommend a stylish lounge. Our Fern Velvet Sofa and Bamboo Arm Chairs are a chic set!

Feast at a Festive Gala

The holidays are a great time to celebrate in a big way and a grand gala is just the way to thank VIP clients or your team for all they contribute to your company’s success. If you’re hosting a large formal company holiday party, there are a few items you’ll want to make sure you include. Cocktail and bistro tables are a must for mingling and should be decked out with luxe linens, say Etched Velvet or a shimmery Satin. Then there is the bar, where guests can enjoy their favorite seasonal drinks, from a Hot Toddy to spiked cocoa. We also recommend having formal place settings with china, chargers, and plenty of glassware for toasting the year past and ahead.

At-Home Holiday Soriee

Cozy home holiday parties are a wonderful and intimate way to share seasonal good tidings with family and friends. But these gatherings can stretch the limits of anyone’s kitchen! Whether you need extra plates or forks, serving dishes and platters, or flutes for toasting, we have it all. We even offer a selection of curated rentals, Styled by Southern, packed with all the essentials for creating a stylish holiday tablescape – like the ice-inspired Silver Soiree! We can also elevate your seating, with our Adeline or Harlin Dining Chairs. For an extra luxe look, create an elegant drink display using our rolling Gold Bar Cart. As always, we’re glad to schedule a delivery or pick-up at our Franklin warehouse.

On Trend: Black Tie Dinner Parties

On Trend, Southern Events Products, Trends and Inspiration

gold accent glassware

With regal and royal trending in event design, we’re all about appreciating the finer things in life – including black-tie dinner parties! This theme is perfect for adding an upscale feel to any celebration, whether it be a birthday, anniversary, reunion, corporate achievement, and so on. Plus, planning a formal event is easier than ever, thanks to our elegant in-stock event rentals. Check out our serving ware, furniture, and decor that can be used to elevate your tablescape and impress your dinner guests!

Elegant Serving Ware

Black tie event design is all about luxury! For the table, we offer a range of stylish serving ware that suits any palette and style. White China is always a good start, whether you prefer Round plates or a more charming design, like Darcy. For a more moody table, opt for Earthen Onyx or Stone China. And should you prefer a more glam look, check out pieces that feature metallics. Such as our Glass Charger with a Gold Rim or Medallion Gold Glass Charger. If you want a touch of color, take a look at our gold accented Laguna or Coronado China.

Just don’t forget to grab matching flatware! Our Gold Austin and Abby Flatware are always popular. Meanwhile, the Noir Matte Black and Como Flatware are edgy yet stylish.

Luxe Seating

Although your own dining chairs will do just fine, swapping your seating for a special evening can make a big impact. It also makes for more cohesive black-tie dinner parties! We offer a variety of stylish seating options, from more traditional designs to unique contemporary pieces. Our Harlin Dining Chairs are ideal for luxe Southern-inspired gatherings, as our the Adeline Chairs. Whereas the Acrylic Carrigan Side Chairs offer a more modern but equally formal look! Then there is the always popular Chiavari Chairs, available in four beautiful colors, which look stunning in any setting.

Hosting a black-tie wedding or black-tie corporate event? Don’t fret! We have plenty of seating in stock for small parties as well as large gatherings.

The ‘Wow’ Factor

While most black-tie event themes entail neutral palettes and elegant serving ware, we love a ‘wow’ factor. In fact, we encourage it! Little details that will have guests talking, snapping pics, and admiring the thought that went into the design. It can be as simple as quirky glassware, like our always popular Cybil Wine Glasses or Champagne Flutes. Or luxurious velvet linens, in a deep Magnolia or eye-catching Merlot – they won’t be able to keep their hands off it! Another luxe addition are stylish centerpieces like our Davis Glass Cylinders, paired with greenery and candles. Or our contemporary Acrylic Rectangle Container.

If there is one type of event design that will never go out of style, it’s regal inspired celebrations. Starring luxurious metals, intricate patterns, and opulent colors, this style is a surefire way to achieve a memorable yet timeless event. It’s a gorgeous option for a wide variety of gatherings, including corporate events, such as galas and fundraisers, as well as weddings and personal parties. Get inspired by our regal inspired rentals, perfect for hosting a cocktail hour or seated reception.

Regal Event Linens

Let’s start by putting together a place setting fitting for a queen! Depending on the table featured at your event, you may want linens. The exception being tables with natural wood tabletops, like or Fruitwood Farm Table, which you’ll want to show off.

As of late any of our velvet linens have been a hit, as the plush materials is effective at lending a regal look to any tablescape. You can’t go wrong with neutral colors, such as black, white or taupe. Although, rich colors will contrast beautifully with metallic accents. Our current favorites include Magnolia Green and Navy Blue! However, if you want a tablescape that looks like it came straight from the Regency Era, consider our Gold & Ivory Fresco, Blue Kensington, or Ivory Pearl Shalimar Linens.

Opulent China

By far our most popular china for a luxe event is our Athena China, with its sleek gold border. For an especially regal look, consider or Ophelia or Hamlet China, with their more intricate designs. All of these pieces pair well with any of our glass chargers – elegant pieces that don’t take away from the fabulous gold accented china. We have a variety of options depending on your color scheme or style, including glass chargers with black, gold, silver, and even a beaded rim.

For flatware, we recommend either our beautiful Fresno or Abby Flatware. The Gold Matte color and bulky shape of Fresno will lend a big statement. Meanwhile, the dainty Abby Flatware is luxe yet understated. A better option if your china and charger is bold!

It should be no surprise that with the popularity of the show Bridgerton we’re seeing an uptick in Cottagecore event design. Romantic and regent, this style is a throwback to simpler times and elevated design. Meaning luxe textiles, rich colors, and dainty details that would impress members of high society. To help you host a party that feels like a timeless period drama, take a look at our Cottagecore inspired event rentals.

Vintage-Inspired Lounges

If you want to impress guests with your Bridgerton inspired event design then a luxe lounge is a must-have. During this period cocktail hours were the WAY to stay up-to-date on the latest gossip! Easily create a comfortable and memorable area for socializing with our vintage-inspired furniture. A velvet sofa, such as Fern, is always a winner, featuring a rich color and texture. Or opt for the more period appropriate Everly, with a shapely back. For a complete look, don’t forget extra seating, like our Bamboo Arm Chairs or fun Turkish Rug Ottoman. Topped off with any of our classic Vintage Rugs!
