Creating an event table that wows your guests is an art form, especially when you lean into the “more is more” mentality of maximalist design. At Southern Events Party Rental, we offer a variety of patterned linens and eclectic serving ware to help you craft an utterly unforgettable aesthetic. Keep reading for maximalist event table ideas, including tips on how you can achieve a maximalist design that is bold yet balanced!

So, What is Maximalist Design?

Maximalist design is the opposite of minimalist design. While minimalism focuses on simplicity and restraint, maximalism encourages the use of colors, prints, objects, and textures to showcase your personality. This design philosophy is perfect for event tables, where you can combine various elements to create a space that’s chaotic yet elegant. Contrary to popular belief, maximalist design doesn’t mean clutter! With our expert guidance, you can create a tablescape that’s both over-the-top and functional, ensuring your guests are wowed by every detail.

Lots of Layering, Please!

One of the easiest ways to create a maximalist table is by layering linens and rentals. You might have seen layered linens in the form of soft and breezy runners or contrasting patterns. But don’t stop there—consider layering with elements like serving platters. With the rising popularity of charcuterie and grazing boards, appetizers can become part of your design. Imagine fresh sourdough rolls in baskets or an array of meats and cheeses on silver trays, adding both visual interest and culinary delight to your table.

Mix Prints & Textures

While it’s typical to feature one standout piece in traditional design, maximalism encourages multiple bold elements. More specifically, combining different patterns and textures, whether it’s table linens, china, or glassware. The key is to maintain balance and know when enough is enough! Think of it as controlled chaos where each item adds to the overall aesthetic without overwhelming the senses. For example, feature a funky Verdant Bloom tablecloth in contrast to sleek Onyx Earthen China and a bold Hot Pink Velvet Napkin.

Color is Your Best Friend

Color is a powerful tool in maximalist design. While a splash of color is a fun addition to any tablescape, maximalist design allows for more unique color combinations, including metallics. Play with contrasting tones or feature different shades of one color to create depth and interest. For example, try mixing the Savannah Sage Plaid tablecloth with green floral Liana China. From bold linens to colored glassware, embrace the freedom to experiment with color to make your table truly stand out.

Don’t Underestimate Cutlery

Flatware is often an afterthought, chosen to match existing metallics in china or chargers. However, in maximalist design, cutlery is an accessory—much like jewelry—that can elevate your tablescape. We offer a variety of unique flatware collections that will grab your guests’ attention and complement your overall design. Think beyond the basics and choose pieces that enhance the visual appeal of your table, such as the Noir Matte Black or Silver Como Flatware.

Neutral Maximalism

While we love color, it’s not a requirement for a stunning maximalist tablescape. You can achieve an equally impressive look with neutral tones by combining a variety of minimalist rentals. The key is to focus on texture and layering to create a rich, inviting space. Such as glassware! While you don’t need three glasses for each place setting, there is no harm if your many consist of three unique beverages. Neutral doesn’t have to mean boring; with the right mix of elements, you can create a maximalist table that’s sophisticated and chic.

Creating a maximalist event table is about embracing the “more is more” philosophy in a way that’s stylish and cohesive. At Southern Events Party Rental, we have the patterned linens, eclectic serving ware, and expert guidance you need to design a tablescape that will impress your guests and make your event truly memorable.

Are you dreaming of a table setting that captures the elegance of the English Regency era? Look no further! Southern Events is excited to announce our new inventory of Bridgerton-inspired event napkins. With pastel color schemes and luxurious textiles, these napkin rentals are perfect for creating a tablescape that would make the ton swoon.

Costa Nova Cotton

First on our list is the Costa Nova Cotton napkin. Made from high-quality cotton, these napkins exude an air of sophistication and elegance. The soft pastel colors and smooth texture are reminiscent of the refined aesthetics of the Regency period. Pair the Sky Blue Napkins with our Emmie Floral China for a whimsical garden party. Alternatively, contrast the bold print of our Cabo Blue China with a subtle shade like Dusty Rose.

Lucia Frayed

For those who prefer a hint of whimsy in their table decor, the Lucia Frayed napkins are a perfect choice. The delicate fraying brings a relaxed yet stylish vibe to your event. While providing a subtle contrast to the more polished elements of your tablescape. For example, pair the Athena China with a sleek gold rim with a soft Sage Green. Or, create a timeless look with Off-White napkins atop a refined print like the Coronado China.

Posy Scalloped Lace

If you’re aiming for a truly romantic ambiance, the Posy Scalloped Lace napkins are a must-have. These napkins boast a beautifully scalloped edge adorned with intricate embroidered lace details. The combination of the soft pastel shades and the delicate lace creates a dreamy, ethereal look. The soft edges of our Darcy China look especially romantic when paired with Blush. However, we love the vintage elegance of our mismatched Heirloom China and bright Sky Blue napkins.

Vallie Stitched

For those who appreciate bold design elements, the Vallie Stitched napkins offer a striking option. These solid-colored napkins feature bold embroidered details that add a touch of drama and flair to your tablescape. Complement the intricate edging of the gold Ophelia China with Vallie featuring gold embroidery. Alternatively, grab Vallie in white with silver to pair with solid white china stacked on the Silver Rimmed Glass Charger.

Your wedding table is more than just a place for your guests to sit and dine – it’s a canvas where your style and vision come to life. At Southern Events Party Rental Company, we understand the importance of crafting a memorable event table that aligns perfectly with your theme. From exquisite linens to elegant china, explore our distinct wedding table rentals will help you create a stunning reception for your Nashville nuptials.

Wedding Table Linens

Setting the stage for your wedding begins with the perfect linens. The right fabric, color, and length can transform your table and set the tone for the entire event. We offer a diverse range of linens, including polyester, satin, and velvet. Polyester is durable and versatile, making it suitable for any occasion. Satin adds a touch of elegance with its smooth, glossy finish. Meanwhile, velvet offers a luxurious and rich feel, perfect for a sophisticated look.

In addition to full tablecloths, consider using table runners for an added layer of style. Coastal-inspired linens, romantic silks, and other specialty fabrics can enhance your chosen theme. When it comes to lengths, a modern aesthetic can be achieved with linens that cut off right at the floor, providing a clean edge. Alternatively, for a dreamy, elegant look, you might prefer runners or tablecloths that gracefully fall onto the floor.

China & Chargers

The china and chargers you choose will be the stars of your table. These items take up the most space and are key indicators of your event’s style or theme. At Southern Events, we offer a stunning selection to suit any vision. Our patterned china features whimsical florals and vibrant color waves, perfect for adding a touch of personality and charm to your table setting. For those seeking a more classic look, we offer timeless neutrals such as crisp white and matte black.

Looking for a simple way to create a luxe layered look? Feature a contrasting charger. Consider options like white-washed rattan for a rustic touch or shimmering gold for a luxurious feel. Once you’ve chosen your china and charger, complete the stack with coordinating bread, salad, or dessert plates to add depth and dimension to your table.

Glassware Rentals

Choosing the right glassware depends largely on your beverage service or menu. While a water goblet is essential, additional glassware can enhance the aesthetic and functionality of your table. A water goblet is versatile and can be used for any drink, from water to lemonade.

For special moments such as toasts and wine service, champagne flutes and wine glasses are perfect additions. If you plan to offer signature beverages like beers or cocktails, consider specialty glassware. While not necessary, having multiple glassware offerings can add a luxurious aesthetic to your event table. Glassware can also be used to add a splash of color or an eclectic edge to your design, making your table truly unique.

Wedding Flatware

Unless your menu is entirely finger foods, you’ll need flatware. The type and quantity will depend on your service style and menu. Start with the basics: knives and forks, for both bread and steak. These are essential whether you are planning a buffet or catered dinner. For a multiple-course meal, you will also need salad forks, in addition to a dessert fork or spoon for your dessert service. If you’re offering coffee service, consider adding a coffee cup, saucer, and an additional spoon.

We offer a variety of flatware styles, from vintage to modern, in various on-trend metallics and sheens. While small, flatware can make a significant visual impact on your tablescape, contributing to the overall aesthetic and theme of your event.

Elegant Serving Ware

Black tie event design is all about luxury! For the table, we offer a range of stylish serving ware that suits any palette and style.

Luxe Seating

Although your own dining chairs will do just fine, swapping your seating for a special evening can make a big impact. It also makes for more cohesive black-tie dinner parties!

Our Harlin Dining Chairs are ideal for luxe Southern-inspired gatherings, as our the Adeline Chairs. Whereas the Acrylic Carrigan Side Chairs offer a more modern but equally formal look!

Hosting a black-tie wedding or black-tie corporate event? Don’t fret! We have plenty of seating in stock for small parties as well as large gatherings.

The ‘Wow’ Factor

While most black-tie event themes entail neutral palettes and elegant serving ware, we love a ‘wow’ factor. In fact, we encourage it! Little details that will have guests talking, snapping pics, and admiring the thought that went into the design. It can be as simple as quirky glassware, like our always popular Cybil Wine Glasses or Champagne Flutes. Or luxurious velvet linens, in a deep Magnolia or eye-catching Merlot – they won’t be able to keep their hands off it! Another luxe addition are stylish centerpieces like our Davis Glass Cylinders, paired with greenery and candles. Or our contemporary Acrylic Rectangle Container.
