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!

Elegant Barware

A cocktail hour requires drinks, served up in regal glassware. It’s always fun to receive a refreshing cocktail served up in an elegant vintage-inspired glass. If you’re wanting to incorporate a touch of color into your tablescape, we recommend our colored goblets, available in Amber and Green. Or for a more timeless Cottagecore inspired event design, try our stunning Audrey Gold Rim Glassware. Then there is a newer addition to our lineup, Monaco Glassware, of which the champagne and water goblets are our favorite. For an especially impressive display, don’t forget to grab a Bookcase.

Fine Servingware

Of course for dinner you’ll need equally impressive serving ware! We offer a wide selection of aristocracy approved china and flatware. A popular choice is our mismatched Heirloom China, which looks stunning when stacked. Or, go for a more high end vibe when you feature our gold embellished china, such as Hamlet or Ophelia. Our personal favorite however is Darcy, which has a dainty shape fitting for a more whimsical event. And to keep it simple, all of these pieces looks beautiful with both our Austin Gold and Fresno Matte Gold Flatware.

A stylish tablescape is a memorable element at any event, corporate gala or social dinner party. For many, the first addition is a charger plate, a large decorative base upon which other dinnerware is placed. These pieces serve as an effective yet simple way to elevate a tablescape, by complementing or contrasting your other serving ware, decor, or color palette. Take a look at our selection of unique chargers, now in-stock and available to rent!

Belmont Charger

A classic favorite, the Belmont Charger is a clear glass plate featuring a beautiful silver beaded rim. This versatile piece looks beautiful when stacked with bright or dark serving ware, creating an elegant yet subtle sparkle. Below, it is complemented by our Onyx China, Cameron Flatware, and Cybil Glassware, for a modern and dark yet whimsical look.

Copper Glass Charger

A newer item in our catalog, the Copper Glass Charger is a chic piece that lends a gorgeous touch of metallic to any tablescape. The bright copper rim has a feathered edge, giving it a fun contemporary vibe. Consider complementing this unique charger with our Brushed Copper flatware and Carrera Marble Dinner Plate.

Darcy Bone China Charger

When your goal is a classically feminine tablescape, you can’t go wrong with our Darcy Bone China Charger. With a dainty rim, this delicate plate looks stunning for a more traditional design. If you’re a fan of the current cottage core trend, we recommend pairing this plate with our Heirloom China, Abby Flatware, and vintage-inspired Hob Nob Glassware.

Our Gold Rouge Laquer Charger is a classic that can be dressed up or down. It can be paired with a wide range of china, including our Darcy China or mixed and matched with our Gold China. To complement the metallic shade, feature it alongside our Gold Austin Flatware.

Medallion Gold Glass Charger

If you want a tablescape that screams luxe, check out our Medallion Gold Glass Charger! This intricate design is a stunner and looks even more beautiful stacked with our Athena or Ophelia China. The tablescape shown is topped with a Spice Velvet linen for a slight boho look. But for an equally dramatic yet moody vibe, opt for a darker color such as Black velvet.

Rouge Round Laquer Charger

A versatile piece, the Rouge Round Laquer Charger is a rich copper tone. Although it looks gorgeous with neutral tones, feel free to spice up your tablescape by adding in more vibrant colors! As you can see below, it looks beautiful with a deep blue, true red, as well as silver metallics, and Earthenware.

Boho is in and our team at Southern Events is here for the trend! Our Scalloped Wood Charger is an easy way to lend a rustic yet charming look to your tablescape. It features a beautiful wood grain that perfectly contrasts bright serving ware, such as our White Round China. On the other hand, keep this unique charger front and center when pairing it with Clear Glass China.

Silver or Black Round Laquer Charger

Our Silver Round Laquer Charger is a stunning base for a cool weather tablescape that is modern and luxe. Consider pairing these unique chargers with vibrant linens, such as our Light Blue Pindot or Wisteria Satin tablecloths. Meanwhile, our Black Round Laquer Charger works well in as a grounding element in both neutral tablescapes and bright and bold looks. Consider pairing it with our Fuchsia Etched Velvet Linen!

Wood Round Charger

Don’t be mistaken, our Wood Round Charger can be used for more than rustic-themed tablescapes.

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.
