Though we hope every event goes off without a hitch, postponing or rescheduling weddings and events happens. But you don’t have to sacrifice your event style for a shift in seasons with these classic, season-less event design tips & rentals from Southern Events.

Natural Notes

Take a note from nature to plan your event color scheme. Blues, teals, and greens are classic colors that can easily transition your event rentals from one season to the next. We love our Saylor Velvet Sofa and Chairs, Ocean Blue Velvet Linens, Coronado Salad Plates, and Fern Velvet Linens for the perfect pop of season-less event design color.

Farm-to-Table

Always appropriate, especially in the rolling countryside of middle Tennessee, a farm-to-table style is perfect for any type of event – no matter the season. Go for timeless rustic rentals with our classic Farm Tables, Cross-back or Bentwood Chairs, Kennedy Textured Linens (a polished update to burlap), and Artisan China.

Classic Tastes

These rentals are classics for a reason! Timeless and season-less, mix and match our Athena, Hamlet and Ophelia Gold China with modern Austin Flatware and classic white or soft gray linens to set the tone any time of year.

Shift to Neutral

Keeping your event color palette neutral can avoid a seasonal shift – but it doesn’t have to be boring! Try layering our Grey Goose Linens with Earthen China and glittering Pure Glassware for a modern event table design, or staging your event lounge with our Henley Grey Velvet Sofa, warm wood Adeline Chairs, and Echo Silver Mirror Side Tables for a luxe lounge area.

Warm + Cool

Use both warm and cool colors in varying shades in your season-less event design. This way you avoid seasonally inspired palettes – like spring pastels or rich fall colors. These colors can be mix in your florals, linens, furniture, and even flatware – like mixing our Brushed Copper Flatware and Sea Glass Velvet Linens.

Vintage Rugs

Our Vintage and Cowhide Rugs create a distinct stage or performance area, making it the perfect rental for an intimate singer-songwriter event in the round. As seating surrounds the “stage” area, our Vintage Rugs create a focal point and boho vibe customary of these events.

Urban Metal Barstool

Musicians need somewhere to sit, and our Urban Metal Barstool is the perfect solution. Looking unique and industrial, it exudes the perfect city vibe for Music City’s best singers and songwriters to showcase their music.

Chocolate Poof

A comfortable addition to a musician’s design is our Chocolate Poof.  They match our Leather Bennett Couch, working as an unexpected accent piece while still being functional as another spot to sit or a great place to rest your feet.

Granger Nesting Tables and Rivet Accent Tables

Great additions to the rustic-artist design are our new Granger Nesting Tables and Rivet Accent Tables. Metal legs and an urban look coupled with a solid wooden top make these rentals architecturally unique while still being functional.

Staging

If you’re interested in creating a more traditional stage setting, Southern’s Staging rentals are perfect. You can design your venue to elevate the musicians on a true stage and create stadium seating to allow listeners to comfortably view the artists at work.

Votive Candles and Lanterns

Nothing sets the mood like lighting! If your Nashville artists are performing an intimate, unplugged set then be sure to create an ambiance that matches. Votive Candles and Lanterns on various side tables, or even on the floor surrounding the stage area are the perfect answer to setting the mood at your Music City event.

Urban Wood Side Table

Musicians will need somewhere to place their water, and guests will want somewhere to set their drinks. The popular Urban Wood Side Table brings dark, rustic wood front and center making it a great addition to your Music City singer-songwriter showcase.

Auditorium Seats

Our Vintage Auditorium Seats create a nostalgic music experience for listeners while retaining that unique Nashville vibe.

Farm Bistro & Crossback Stools

Give listeners somewhere to sit and enjoy their drinks while taking in the music – our Farm Bistro tables are great high-top tables (perfect for creating stadium seating behind lower couches and sofas), while our Crossback Stools add a rustic Nashville touch to a musical experience.

We love when a new space opens its doors here in Franklin, TN, but when new spaces are as beautifully designed as The Lodge our hearts do a little dance! The Lodge in Franklin, TN is a co-working space beautifully designed with high ceilings, modern amenities, and rustic style. With private rooms and an industrial style event space, it’s a great location for companies to host gatherings, summits, retreats, or simply get-out-of-the-office meetings.

For company cocktail hours, summits, or retreats The Lodge‘s large event space boasts rustic finishes and large glass garage doors to let in lots of natural light. Adjacent to the co-working space (with smaller private meeting rooms, kitchen and shared co-working room) this space offers a blank canvas for a variety of set-ups including lounges with nearby bar and cocktail tables or styled dining table for guests to gather.

Meetings at The Lodge will benefit from large windows in various private rooms, making sure that attendees feel the refreshing energy of the sunlight while still having everything they need to get work done. We added a collection of our vintage chairs to the farmhouse table, plus our unique Sunny Rolling Cart to give this meeting space an inspiring pop of color. Built-in whiteboards and high-speed wifi are standard – just add your co-workers and your next big idea!

Our most recent corporate event transformed Nashville City Winery‘s concert and event space into a sleek and sophisticated space for networking over cocktails and dinner. The open house utilized a variety of our comfortable seating options, including the Rhapsody in Blue Side Chairs, our Nickel Grey Bench with acrylic legs, and Ghost Arm Chairs with plush pillows for a stylish lounge area. Seating was accented by our white and chrome Mykonos Coffee Table and chrome Cece Silver Side Tables, keeping the style sleek and sophisticated.

Our new White Leather Mercer Tower with L-Shaped Benches were highlighted and with good reason.  The “L” Tower is powered, meaning it can be used as a charging station for guests! Busy professionals, who come to corporate events with work still on their minds, love this feature. And giving guests an extra charge surely showcases Southern hospitality – who doesn’t appreciate a central spot to charge their phone?

City Winery has tables and chairs of its own so we create a few inspiration tables for guests These paired the ever-popular Grayson Farm Tables with Chiffon Runners and the new Harlin Dining Chairs for a sleek and Southern design. Gold Austin Flatware was placed next to Glass Chargers with Gold Rim, along with our Darcy White China dinner plates and our new Gold Accent China Plates in Coronado and Laguna designs.

Shout out to Nashville Event Lighting for heading up the event and their stunning lighting design – it really made the space shine!  And thanks to Twila’s Photography for the photos.  Such a wonderful event – we can’t wait for all the events City Winery will hold!
