Take it Easy

When it comes to hosting a casual get-together, creating a stylish and vibrant space is key. To set the stage for a chic backyard cocktail hour or poolside bachelorette party, create a space adorned with pops of pink and a dash of retro charm. You can set the mood with bistro tables with Hot Pink Velvet Linens. In addition, add some chic Arylic Square Back Barstools for extra seating. Where guests can enjoy colorful cocktails, served in classic Gatsby Coupe Glasses. Alternatively, you can use our Gold Bar Cart as a self-serve drink station. With big-batch cocktails in the Hampton Beverage Dispenser. And if you plan to offer some light bites, our Coronado China will lend a fun hint of blue to party.

Chic in Pink

For a smaller gathering, such as a bridal shower or an adult birthday celebration, you’ll want a muted look. We can help you create a chic pink setup that with our Barbie-inspired event rentals. Starting with a tablescape with a Satin Blush Matte Runner and hot pink roses. Next, feature White Coupe Dinner Plates contrasted by Rose Etched Velvet Napkins and Brushed Copper Flatware. To serve up a ròse, our Cybil Champagne or Wine Glasses will lend a fun retro touch. Complete the look with a pop of blue from our bold Farrah Teal Velvet Chairs. For additional seating, there is our cozy Pearce Lounge. Perfect for additional seating and post-dinner mingling.

Child’s Play

Planning a children’s birthday party? Go big and bold with a Barbiecore theme! Our rentals will transport the little ones into a whimsical Barbie wonderland. Pair a children’s table with Pink Sequin Tablecloths and matching Chiavari Children’s Chairs. Create place settings with our Heirloom China and teacup sets. This is a fun detail that will make the kids feel like they’re attending a real-life tea party with Barbie! To keep the energy high, we love a themed dessert table. Here you can showcase a variety of sweet treats adorned with pink frosting and edible glitter. Mix and match our cake stands to create a luxe-tiered display.

Summer is the season of backyard parties! Whether it’s a birthday celebration, a family reunion, or a simple get-together with friends. Hosting an outdoor party is the perfect way to enjoy the beautiful weather while creating unforgettable memories. And to elevate your backyard gathering, Southern Events Online stocks stylish summer party rentals! Take a look at our inventory that will impress your guests. From coastal chic-inspired furniture to a modern rustic tablescape.

Neutral Coastal Chic

One of our favorite summer vibes is coastal chic! Starring a neutral color palette and natural materials, it is a stunning option for a casual yet elegant backyard gathering. Start by creating a bright and airy tablescape with an off-white, Havana Ecru Tablecloth. For an extra soft and breezy look, add a Sahara Ivory Runner and Ivory Poly Napkins. Meanwhile, Rattan White Wash Chargers will lend some much-needed texture! To warm up the table, feature our elegant Cross-Back Chairs with plush cushions.

Coastal-Inspired Furnishings

Carrying over the theme, you won’t want to miss out on our Sloan Sofa and Armchairs. They are made of classic bentwood with curved caning and a charcoal finish for a modern look. However, to complete the look, add a Linden Marble Table and a Blush Rug. Perhaps a Gold Bar Cart, for a luxe metallic accent. And to keep bubbly or beverages within arms reach!

Sunny Citrus

If you want a more traditional summer look, go with bright and bold colors! For instance, we’re loving this colorful citrus-inspired tablescape starring a rich Navy Blue Velvet Tablecloth. Our Burnt Orange Poly Napkins will beautifully contrast the blue table and tie in a fresh citrus, or fruit-laden charcuterie, centerpiece. Additionally, to maintain a clean and modern look, add on Brushed Copper Flatware and sleek White Coupe China. Depending on how bright you want the table, grab our Fruitwood Folding Chairs or Antique White Bentwood Chairs.

Mini Bar Must-Haves

If you plan to serve alcohol, our Franklin 4ft Antique White Bar is the perfect size for a small backyard celebration. It will be a treat if you plan on having a mixologist on site. Or, if you want to create a small self-serve station featuring our sleek Hampton Beverage Dispensers. Regardless, be sure to stock up on Meridian Blue Tumblers, one of our most underrated summer party rentals – a stunner for poolside cocktails!

Modern Rustic Garden Party

We will never tire of an elegant garden celebration! And that is exactly what inspired this modern rustic backyard party. For instance, think of it like an elevated BBQ where warm woods and muted colors shine. Start with Aged Oak Dining Tables, placed side by side to create a long table fit for socializing. After that, keep it classic when you pair them with rustic benches. Or, elevate the look with elegant Harlin Dining Chairs. In addition, dress up the table with fresh flowers, complemented by clean serving ware and a splash of color. Try muted pieces, like our Amber Goblets or Moss Green Crush Velvet Napkins.

Muted Elegance

For a cocktail hour, consider featuring a down-to-earth lounge with warm woodsy browns. From our Bennett Leather Sofa and Adeline Dining Chairs. With a luxe metallic accent, from a set of Cheval Gold Mirror Side Tables. To soften up the space, add on Chocolate Poufs and a Bellamy Beige Linen Bench. After that, a bold Navy Rug to help frame the area. If you want to wow your guest upon their arrival, welcome them with a White 6-Tier Serving Tower. We recommend colorful cocktails in our Gatsby Champagne Coup glasses!

In recent years small gatherings have peaked in popularity! As there is something extra charming about a party that is smaller in size, or more exclusive, yet stylish. Get inspired by some of our must-have rentals for small gatherings, perfect for hosting intimate parties in the greater Nashville area.

Chairs & Tables

We’re kicking things off with the basics! Chairs & tables are a must, whether you are serving food or simply want to encourage guests to sit down and stay for a while. Our lounge packages feature beautiful furniture, perfect for a casual evening in the backyard. When it’s time to eat, gather around our always beautiful Fruitwood Farm Table, with child-sized furniture (chairs included) to match. For a cocktail hour, a set of bistro tables and bar stools are a classic choice.

Stylish Rugs

Rugs are a must-have when it comes to defining a space. Large or small, they create a frame in which to lay out a social area. Alternatively, they add an additional level of comfort underfoot. With summer coming we’re favoring bright colors, like our Aqua Rug or Blue-Red Rug. For some extra pizzazz, try layering a few of your favorites.

Bar Service

With the weather warming up, you’ll want to treat your guests to a cold drink. We offer a variety of beautiful stands and displays, perfect for a small bar or self-serve area. Our 4ft Antique White Bar is an elegant choice for a more upscale event. Or for a quaint but stylish self-serve area, check out our Avenue Bar Back Shelf or Gold Rolling Bar Cart. Each of them has just enough space to hold glassware, alcohol, and your ingredients of choice. You will also have a wide selection of gorgeous glassware to choose from, to complement the style of your event!

A Fun Focal Point

Every party needs a unique, eye-catching focal point. When hosting happy hour or your event will include alcohol, our Boxwood Wall makes for a fun interactive photo backdrop or central spot for guest place cards. It can also be used to serve up refreshing beverages throughout the duration of your event!

Tabletop Decor

Don’t let your tables sit bare! Even a small centerpiece goes a long way. We offer a variety of lanterns and votives in various colors. Use these as decoration or to create a warm ambiance once the sun goes down. If you plan on showcasing some flowers fresh from the garden, our cylindrical and square glass vases are an elegant choice.

Earthen China

To plate up dinner, check out an equally gorgeous alternative to classic china: earthenware. It comes in three beautiful colors, Alabaster, Onyx, and Stone. While Alabaster and Stone are beautiful for a pastel look, don’t overlook Onyx which can be used to lend some contrast to an otherwise bright tablescape. To amp up the look of our earthen china, consider complementing it with one of our unique chargers!

Romantic Chiffon Runners

In terms of centerpieces, florals, lanterns, and geometric table decor – all add to the beauty of a tablescape. If you’re looking to add some texture and romance, however, we recommend a chiffon table runner. They can be used standalone or atop table linens to add volume. You can let them pool around your centerpieces and/or allow them to drape off the edge of your tables for a loose but elegant look.

Made of wood and with stylish backs, they add an instant touch of elegance to any tablescape. They can also easily be decorated with greenery, for a fresh spring or summer look. For a table that complements these chairs, consider featuring our Fruitwood Farm Tables.

Santorini Furniture

If you plan on taking full advantage of summertime in Tennesse, an outdoor lounge area is a good idea. Perfect for a cocktail hour or post-dinner drinks, it will allow your guests to get cozy and mingle all evening. Keeping with our pastel summer event inspiration, we recommend our Santorini Off-White Sofa paired with an accent table. Or feel free to choose from one of our curated lounge packages!
