Vintage Wedding Rentals for a Southern-Inspired CelebrationOn Trend, Southern Events Products |

A classic Southern wedding never goes out of style. Especially when it blends charm, tradition, and thoughtful hospitality with heirloom-inspired details and elevated styling. Whether you’re planning a celebration under a sailcloth tent or inside a modern event barn, Southern Events offers the perfect way to create a nostalgic yet fresh atmosphere. Get inspired by our vintage wedding rentals featuring antique finishes, soft textures, and subtle palettes that feel timeless and refined.
A Venue-Worthy Vintage Backdrop
Start with a statement piece that sets the tone for your event. Our Franklin Antique White Bar is a perennial favorite with its paneling and vintage silhouette. It’s perfect for welcoming guests with signature drinks or champagne. For a twist on the classic look, opt for the same style in Sage (for a more modern, garden-inspired palette) or Fruitwood for a warmer, more rustic tone.

Serve It Up in Style
The charm is in the details—and that includes your serviceware. Our vintage catering rentals feature ornate silver trays in both round and rectangular styles, an elegant silver tea and coffee service with creamers and sugar bowls, and an assortment of cut glass pieces that add sparkle to any buffet or beverage station. These pieces pair perfectly with custom bar menus, biscuit bars, or mini dessert spreads.

The Vintage Wedding Tablescape
Table settings are a key part of designing a romantic vintage wedding, and our inventory includes countless combinations to suit your style!
Furniture: Choose the Antique White Bentwood Chair for a garden wedding feel. Or go more formal with the Adeline Dining Chair. Pair either with the White Antique Dining Table or the rustic-chic Aged Oak Dining Table for a curated mix of refined and relaxed.
Linens: Keep the look soft with the Blue Floral Tablecloth, Labella Pink, or Ivory Pearl Shalimar linen. Add a little structure and stitching with a Vallie Stitched Napkin in a neutral tone.
Dinnerware: For a layered, timeless look, use the Darcy China and Charger set with its subtle scalloped edge. Prefer something a little more playful? Try Emmie, with its delicate floral print. You can also create a curated feel using Heirloom China, a charming mix of vintage-style patterns that looks effortlessly collected over time.
Glassware: Opt for Hob Nob Glassware or Monaco Cut Crystal for sparkle and texture. Want a little color? Add vintage flair with our Amber or Green Colored Glassware, perfect for mixing into your palette without overpowering it.

Lounge Like It’s 1929
No Southern wedding is complete without a lounge area that invites guests to linger. Our Everly Sofa and Chair set brings vintage elegance to your cocktail hour or reception. Round out the setup with a Bellamy Linen Bench and layer in one (or two!) of our vintage rugs to complete the scene. These pieces work beautifully in outdoor tented spaces or under chandeliers in a barn, as well as tucked near the dance floor for when guests need a moment to kick off their heels.

From Heirloom to Modern
What we love most about this aesthetic is its versatility. A vintage wedding tablescape can feel relaxed and garden-party chic or dressed to the nines for a black-tie affair. It all comes down to how you pair your pieces. With our collection of vintage wedding rentals, you can bring a cohesive, customized vision to life that honors tradition while still feeling totally current.

Our Favorite Wedding Plate Pairings from Modern to MoodySouthern Events Products |

If you ask us, the right plate is what brings the whole table together. Whether you’re dreaming of something romantic, contemporary, or a little bit bold, your place settings complete the look. And while we’re always fans of mixing and matching, there’s something extra satisfying about a curated wedding plate pairing that just works. From light and breezy to dramatic and moody, these combinations from the Southern Events inventory are ideal for weddings of all styles—and yes, we’re answering the question: How much does it cost to rent wedding plates? (Spoiler: it’s more affordable than you think.)
Light & Natural: Gwyneth + Walnut Rattan
There’s something about this pairing that feels like a fresh-air garden party. Our Gwyneth Glass Plate adds soft texture and shimmer, while the Walnut Rattan Charger grounds the setting with natural warmth. This combo is a go-to for outdoor weddings and vineyard venues, especially when paired with pastel linens and fresh greenery.

Soft Neutrals: Alabaster + White Washed Rattan
The Alabaster Earthen China brings a soft, artisanal vibe to the table. Layered over a White Washed Rattan Charger, this look feels light, effortless, and just a little bit earthy. Great for neutral-loving couples and understated tables with linen or gauze runners.

Elegant & Glam: Ophelia + Darcy Bone
Love a little drama? This is your moment. Our Ophelia China features a stunning gold rim and intricate detailing, and the Darcy Bone China Charger tones it down with scalloped edges and a creamy finish. Together, they give off major European estate wedding energy; no castle required.

Romantic & Refined: Darcy + Belmont
This classic combo is a favorite for a reason. The Darcy China pairs beautifully with the Belmont Beaded Edge Charger for a look that’s sweet but sophisticated. Add floral napkins or vintage glassware to personalize the palette.

Garden-Inspired: Liana + Darcy Bone
For a floral moment without the fuss, try Liana China with its soft green pattern, layered over a Darcy Bone Charger. It’s a subtle nod to nature that still feels upscale, perfect for spring weddings or venues with lots of natural light.

Modern Mood: Onyx + Onyx
We love a matchy-matchy moment—especially when it’s this sleek. The Onyx Earthen China with its coordinating matte charger brings major moody minimalism to the table. Add black flatware and a velvet napkin for an editorial finish.

Warm & Whimsical: Marigold + Scalloped Wood
This pairing is pure personality. Our Marigold Cabo China pops against the Scalloped Wood Charger, creating a warm, golden-hour glow at each place setting. It’s a great choice for boho weddings, Southwestern themes, or any event that doesn’t shy away from color.

How Much Does It Cost to Rent Wedding Plates?
Renting plates for a wedding is a simple and affordable way to elevate your design. Most of our china plates range from $0.75 to $1.50 per piece, with chargers averaging between $4 and $6. Final costs depend on the specific styles and quantities. Need help choosing a look? Our team can help you build a design that matches your style, guest count, and budget.

Wedding Ceremony Planning FAQs
Planning a ceremony comes with a lot of little decisions, and we’re here to help. Below are some frequently asked questions about wedding ceremony rentals to guide you:
How many chairs do I need for my wedding ceremony?
Plan for one chair per guest, plus a few extras for vendors or last-minute additions. For 100 guests, aim for 110–115 chairs to be safe.
What’s the best layout for a small ceremony?
For intimate gatherings, we love a round or semi-circle seating layout. It brings guests closer, feels cozy, and looks amazing in photos. We’ll help you design a layout that suits your space.
Do I need a backdrop if my venue has a view?
Not necessarily—but even simple structural elements like columns or barrels can help frame the moment and ground the space.
Can I see these wedding ceremony rentals in person?
Absolutely! We invite you to schedule a tour of our showroom so you can see, feel, and plan your setup in real life. It’s the perfect time to test seating styles, compare materials, and get inspired.

Bring the Amalfi Coast to Your Backyard with European Picnic RentalsSouthern Events Products, Trends and Inspiration |

Dreaming of the Amalfi Coast? With European picnic rentals from Southern Event Rentals, you can bring that effortless, sun-drenched charm straight to your backyard. Ideal for hosting a stylish dinner party, garden gathering, or milestone celebration, this on-trend look pairs vintage-inspired china, citrus tones, and rich wood textures for a casual yet elevated setting. With thoughtfully curated rentals and plenty of summer flavor, we’ll help you design a scene that feels like an Italian escape—no passport required.
Taste of Italy
Every unforgettable European picnic begins with an al fresco table, and we have just the pieces to bring that Amalfi Coast flair to life. Layer our Coronado China, with its sophisticated motif, and minimalist Artisan or Earthen Alabaster China to create a collected, curated feel. Add texture and warmth with our Walnut Rattan Chargers. A classic choice that pairs beautifully with Cornflower Costa Nova Napkins and Aged Oak Dining Table. Whether you prefer bold citrus colors or soft neutrals, these versatile rentals provide the perfect foundation for a table that’s as delicious to look at as the food served on it.

Sit Back and Savor
Creating a space where guests can relax and linger is key to capturing that slow, celebratory European vibe. And our seating options are designed for just that! The Cross-Back Chair offers timeless rustic charm. Or the Antique White Bentwood Chair brings a touch of vintage elegance with a light, breezy look. For communal-style gatherings, our Rustic Benches encourage closeness and conversation. And the Adeline Dining Chair adds an elevated, graceful touch. Mixed and matched or styled uniformly, these seating choices feel both inviting and effortlessly chic.

Clink in Color
No picnic is complete without beautiful glassware that shines in the evening sun. Our collection delivers both color and charm. Pour a chilled spritz into our beaded Meridian Blue Glasses for a pop of coastal cool, or serve rosé in the softly-hued Sunset Wine Glass for a golden-hour glow. For a nod to vintage glamour, the Gatsby Coupe Glass brings timeless elegance to your bubbly. Meanwhile, the Deco Amber Tumbler adds just the right amount of retro flair. These standout pieces don’t just hold your drinks, they help set the mood.

Coastline Comfort
When the sun dips low and the wine keeps flowing, a lounge setup is the perfect way to extend the evening without losing that laid-back, oceanside vibe. Our Ellison Sofa and matching chairs bring effortless coastal elegance to any backyard setting. Crafted from weathered teak and topped with crisp white cushions. Complete the look with the coordinating coffee table for a cohesive feel. Or, keep it simple when you feature the Estelle Quarter Round Sofa with gold hammered side tables for a subtle hint of shine. Whether guests are sipping limoncello or sharing stories under the string lights, this lounge invites them to stay a little longer.

Tablescape Rentals That Simplify Hosting Without Compromising StyleSouthern Events Products |

Hosting a dinner party should be joyful, not stressful. But when you’re the one planning the evening, setting the table can feel like a balancing act between style and simplicity. That’s where tablescape rentals come in. Whether you’re planning a milestone birthday, holiday gathering, or intimate dinner with friends, Southern Events in Nashville offers stylish tabletop rentals that not only elevate your table setting but make cleanup a breeze. From elegant serveware to freshly pressed linens, our rentals help you create a picture-perfect spread without the post-party mess.
Elegant Beverage & Coffee Service
Beverage service is often the first impression your guests have of your event. Whether you’re pouring cocktails, mocktails, sweet tea, or iced water, the vessel matters. We offer beautiful silver beverage pitchers and glass carafes that make even water feel like a special treat. These elegant, uniform pieces streamline self-service and elevate the look of your drink station. When dessert rolls around, add our silver coffee or tea server sets—complete with matching cut glass creamers and sugar bowls—to keep your beverage service cohesive and charming.
Pro Tip: Set up a self-serve coffee bar using our silver trays and tiered stands for an inviting, hotel-lounge-inspired touch.

Make a Statement with Tiered Stands
Tiered stands are one of our favorite multitaskers. Use them for appetizers, desserts, or even miniature place cards and favors. Here are a few standout options:
- Willow Tiered Stand: Rustic, organic, and perfect for charcuterie or brunch.
- Hamilton 3-Tier Silver Serving Stand: Formal and classic, ideal for weddings or elegant soirées.
- White Square 3-Tier Serving Stand: Clean and versatile, fitting for baby showers, brunches, or garden parties.
These stands not only make serving easier. They add vertical interest to your table setting rentals, helping guide the guest experience and encouraging conversation.

Family-Style Hosting Made Effortless
Family-style meals create a sense of warmth and community. However, to pull one off successfully, it requires the right pieces. Our collection of melamine serving platters—deep dish, oval, rectangular, and square—is perfect for main dishes, sides, and salads. These coordinated serving pieces eliminate the need to cobble together a mismatched assortment of bowls and trays.
Hosting Tip: Use our bread baskets (available in Brown Oval Rattan, Gold Oval, or Silver Round)to serve warm rolls or freshly-baked loaves with style. Pair them with flavored butters or olive oil in small ramekins for added charm.

Linens That Save Time & Look Good Doing It
Few things say “finished” like a well-dressed table. Renting linens means you don’t have to worry about last-minute ironing, post-party washing, or storing tablecloths you’ll only use once or twice a year. With a wide selection of styles, colors, and materials, our linen rentals help you create a cohesive tablescape that aligns with your event theme. And when it comes to cloth napkins, they’re not just a style upgrade over disposables. They’re more absorbent, better for the environment, and much more elegant to display on your tabletop.

Set the Mood with Servingware
From first course to final toast, your servingware ties your whole event together. At Southern Events, our inventory includes:
- China in various patterns and tones for every event style.
- Chargers that add depth, polish, and drama to place settings.
- Flatware options, from classic silver to modern matte gold.
- Glassware, including wine glasses, goblets, and highballs.
You can create a completely customized place setting that feels luxurious without feeling excessive. All without the need to buy (or clean!) a dozen extra place settings.

Style Doesn’t Have to Mean Stress
Tablescape rentals offer a sustainable, stylish, and smart way to entertain. Explore our full collection of tabletop rentals to start planning your next effortlessly elegant event. Our experienced team is ready to help you choose the perfect pieces for your theme, guest count, and vision. Reach out to get started!

A Garden-Inspired Cocktail Hour
Set the tone for your garden wedding with a cocktail hour that encourages mingling beneath the trees, flutes of champagne in hand.

Whether under twinkling string lights or the soft glow of lanterns, this setup blends elegance with the laid-back charm of an outdoor celebration.


Fresh Floral Place Settings to Swoon Over
Complete your garden wedding tablescape with thoughtful details that speak to your theme. Starting with floral-forward place settings. Subtle and graceful, our Emmie Floral China brings a refined touch. Meanwhile, the Liana China offers a bold pop of green that mimics the surrounding foliage. For golden accents, layer in Vera Floral Dessert Plates and Fresno Matte Gold Flatware. Both of these add a hint of luxury without overpowering your setting.

To enhance the whimsy, bring in colored glassware like our Amalia Glassware in Light Pink or Blue. Or the Monaco Cut Crystal glasses for a sophisticated sparkle. Each element adds to the immersive experience of dining in nature, elevating your event without distracting from the outdoor setting.

If your style is organic and bohemian, our Earthen Alabaster china is a beautiful choice. It leans more casual than some of our other dishware options, but the right linen pairing can certainly elevate it. It has a slightly off-white color and a matte finish—perfectly natural, grounded, and sophisticated.
If you prefer something a bit more regal, try our Darcy china. This dishware choice has a shinier finish and scalloped edges. Due to its beautiful Victorian shape, it fits in nicely with luxurious and formal decor.
Need something in between? Our White Coupe china is perfectly traditional, and it can work in just about any setting! It’s our most versatile china collection.
Always In Charge
After you’ve chosen the china for your event, add a charger! Our Darcy collection includes matching chargers. We also have a stunning, simple porcelain charger that works well with a variety of china patterns. Finally, if you want to add a little extra sparkle to your decor, try our Silver Round Lacquer charger. We know it’s silver, not white, but we won’t tell if you don’t! A little bit of glimmer can never hurt, and it’ll make the white dishes pop.

Elegant White Linens
Next, let’s add some white linens to the mix. For our more bohemian brides and hosts, we recommend a textured Havana linen or a gathered Sahara runner. For our more opulent brides and hosts, we recommend a white satin or velvet. We even have some textured options like pindot, shimmer, or etched linens.

Stylish White Chairs
Your choice of chairs also plays a huge role in your celebration’s overall aesthetic. We offer a few different white chairs, but consider the venue and backdrop when making your selection. Our white Bentwood chairs are stunning, but they give a rustic, antique vibe. Contrast that with our white Chiavari chairs, which look more lavish and sleek. If neither of these jumps out at you, try a ghost chair! Our see-through acrylic options like the Carrigan chair blend right into the background of your space.
If you want to create a spot for lounging and mingling, we have a couple of lovely, on-theme lounge sofas to choose from. Explore our Estelle, Everly, and Sloan styles—all are equally soft and fashionable, so you can’t go wrong!

Accents and Accessories
Here are just a few more rental items and ideas to help you pull off your timeless winter wonderland!
- Rent a white beverage shelf to display custom cocktails or seasonal treats!
- Try a champagne tower if you have special toasts planned. This works well at both social and corporate events.
- Roll out the white carpet for your VIPs! Our white runners make great aisles for weddings.
- Experiment with all-white florals like roses, peonies, calla lilies, and orchids. There are many beautiful flowers in this category, so be sure to discuss which ones are in season with your florist.
With all these dreamy white rentals, you’ll have everything you need to create your own winter wonderland—no snow required! From elegant china to cozy lounge furniture, each piece brings a little sparkle to your big day.
