At Southern Events, we’ve curated a range of stunning event furniture combinations designed to suit any occasion and style. Let’s explore our favorite pairings for every aesthetic, from warm and inviting neutrals to bold, art deco-inspired settings.

Mocha Mousse Mayhem: Warm and Chocolatey Neutrals

Rich, earthy tones are the cornerstone of this style, creating a cozy yet elegant atmosphere. For events that call for timeless warmth and sophistication, we recommend:

• Aged Oak Dining Table paired with Harlin Dining Chairs for a welcoming dining experience.
• A lounge area featuring the Bennett Leather Sofa and Charlotte Chairs, complemented by Charlotte Side Tables for a cohesive look.

This combination is the perfect foundation for an event that exudes a touch of homely elegance. To warm up your table even more, feature a soft Sahara table runner in the neutral shade of your choice along with our Alabaster Earthen China.

Moody Modern: Dark and Dramatic

For those who crave a sleek, modern aesthetic with a hint of drama, the Moody Modern style delivers a luxe edge. Our favorite pieces include:

• The Regent Black Velvet Sofa, Ghost Acrylic armchairs, and Claro Metal Side Tables create a striking lounge area.
• Pair the Collins Black Wood Bar with Hudson Outdoor Bistro Tables and Casper Square Back Acrylic Barstools for a modern cocktail space.
• The Estelle Quarter Round Sofa offers additional seating with a contemporary flair.

This bold furniture set is ideal for black-tie galas or avant-garde weddings. To create extra dimension, consider creating layered duochromatic place settings with rentals featuring black, white, or clear glass.

Contemporary Cottagecore: Soft, Natural, and Minimalist

Romantic prints and natural textures define this dreamy, minimalist style. It should give off a nostalgic feel despite the modern details. For a charmingly understated event:

• Start with the Aged Oak Dining Table and pair it with Antique White Bentwood Chairs for a graceful dining setup.
• A lounge area featuring the Fern Velvet Sofa and Elyza Chairs atop a vintage rug creates a cozy gathering space.

This aesthetic is perfect for garden parties, bridal showers, or outdoor weddings where nature takes center stage. To up the romance, we recommend featuring floral china, such as Emmie or Liana prints. Along with the Lucia Frayed napkins in a subtle shade.

Art Deco Delight: Bold and Flashy

Channel an artsy yet contemporary aesthetic when you combine bold, geometric patterns and luxurious textures. Our top picks for an Art Deco-inspired event are:

• The Chelsea Marble Top Bar paired with Charleston Bistro Tables for a show-stopping cocktail area.
• Lounge seating featuring the Jacqueline Sofa, Farrah Teal Velvet Chairs, and a Gold Hammered Coffee Table–a beautiful mix of vibrant colors and metallic accents.

This style is tailor-made for New Year’s Eve parties, high-end fundraisers, or any event where you want to make a statement. To liven up your event tables, we recommend creating a maximalist table setting with an array of loud colors and prints. 

Elegant Country: Casual Yet Sophisticated

• The Aged Oak Dining Table paired with Cross-Back Chairs or a Rustic Bench offers intimate yet versatile dining options.

Organizing an event requires meticulous planning and attention to detail. One crucial aspect that can significantly impact the overall aesthetics and comfort of your gathering is the choice of tables and chairs for your event. At Southern Events Online, we understand the importance of creating an atmosphere that aligns with your style or theme. Whether you’re aiming for a modern rustic feel, contemporary elegance, classic sophistication, or a touch of whimsy, our in-stock tables and chairs are designed to complement and enhance the ambiance of any occasion.

Wood Event Furniture

Modern rustic has been the go-to for an elegant yet down-to-earth look. A feat that is easy to achieve with our Fruitwood Farm Tables and Cross-back Chairs. If you’re dreaming of a more sophisticated vibe, our modern Farm tables are available in two shades: Aged Oak and Antique White. Both of these pair beautifully with the Adeline and Harlin dining chairs featuring sturdy backs. For a playful touch of color, consider our Antique White Bentwood or Black Willow Chairs. While we discourage covering up a stunning wood tabletop, a soft runner like the Sahara Table Runners in rich shades of Rust or Indigo can add an extra layer of charm.

Contemporary Acrylic Rentals

Acrylic is having its moment, and Southern Events Online is on board! Our Acrylic Ghost Arm and Armless Chairs are the go-to for a minimalist look that can be contrasted with rich linens or complemented with a neutral scheme. Available as barstools with Round and Square Backs, they are perfect for a quaint cocktail hour. The Acrylic Carrigan Side Chair offers a more ethereal design, fitting for a whimsical garden party, while the eccentrically named Acrylic Fantasma Side Chair is an eye-catching piece that can elevate any event.

Chiavari Chairs for Rent

Remaining a fan favorite, Chiavari Chairs are the epitome of classic elegance. Simple in design, they exude luxury and are available in four beautiful shades. Gold is a popular choice for grand affairs, like corporate celebrations hosted in a ballroom. While Black is more popular for urban events, such as weddings at The Clementine or The Ruby in Nashville. White will lend a more airy look, however, don’t underestimate dark Fruitwood. It is an understated color that will elevate any casual outdoor gathering.

Specialty Tables & Chairs

These rentals fall into a category of their own! The Palmer Bistro Tables and Chairs, made of light wood with intricate details, bring a coastal but luxe vibe. For outright glam, the Charleston Bistro Table with a Marble Top pairs perfectly with Gold Chiavari Barstools. The Loren Gold Bistro Tables are a comfortable choice for larger parties and exude sophistication, especially when paired with Acrylic Ghost Barstools. Or, consider our Mid Century Barstools for a stylish nod to times past when featuring cocktail tables with linens.

Children’s Party Furniture

Hosting a children’s party? Size-appropriate furniture goes a long way to ensure comfort and inclusivity. Our Fruitwood Farm Tables and Cross-Back Chairs are also available in a size to accommodate children, ensuring a cohesive event. Along with classic White Resin Folding Chairs. For children, our Chiavari Chairs come in Pastel Pink and Clear Acrylic, adding fun colors to any celebration. Or take your event to the next level with Gold Bow Children’s Chairs.
