How to Layer Textures and Elements for a Maximalist Event Table

On Trend, Southern Events Products, Trends and Inspiration

maximalist wedding design

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.

The Complete Guide to Wedding Table Rentals for Your Nashville Nuptials

Southern Events Products, Trends and Inspiration

elegant blue event table

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.

Crafting Your Perfect Wedding Table

With Southern Events Party Rental Company, you can create a wedding table that truly reflects your vision and style. From the foundational linens to the finishing touches of flatware, our wedding table rentals ensure every detail is perfect. Ready to design your dream table?

This fall wedding featured a range of warm neutral shades, that lent a timeless rustic look.

The bar was stocked with a variety of contemporary glassware, including Gatsby Champagne Coupe and Temptations Glasses. The unique shapes are perfect for serving up quirky signature drinks that embody the theme. Such as a blue-colored drink with glitter for a “galaxy” effect! For additional seating, we opted to feature our modular Pearce Lounge with a Black-Silver Rug.

Modern Celestial Wedding Reception

Come dinner time, we wanted to create a slightly more intimate atmosphere. This is why we set up in the historic barn, which lent a more down-to-earth vibe. It also ensured that the tablescapes, starring a splash of celestial-inspired colors, stood out! Wood banquet tables featured a Sahara Runner in Ivory and round were covered with White Etched Velvet Tablecloths. They were contrasted by sleek serving ware: Glass Chargers with a Black Rim, stacked with Earthen Alabaster and Stone China, and Noir Matte Black Flatware. Meridian Blue Tumblers and Dusty Blue Etched Velvet Napkins lent a unique pop of blue! While Acrylic chairs were a modern and elegant touch.

Non-Floral Table Centerpieces

At each table, centerpieces starred voluminous plumes of dried ferns and pampas, for a subtle bohemian vibe. Although if you want to tone down the florals, consider a non-floral centerpiece starring our Gold Metal Intersect Cube. The bright geometric design is ethereal and the shimmering gold will make your serving ware pop. Place candles around each cube or at the center, depending on how much lighting you would like to feature.

Luxe Linens

The latest and greatest fad in event linen rentals is velvet! Velvet linens create a rich, yet seasonless texture for your tables. And they are available in a huge array of gorgeous colors, making them fitting for a variety of event styles. A few of our current favorites include Fern, London Fog, and Rose. For an especially sophisticated look, check out our etched velvet linens featuring metallic accents – a fun option for cocktail tables. Or your cake table! If you want to switch things up a little, consider topping velvet table linens with satin napkins! A buttery texture with a soft sheen, they will make for an extra romantic tablescape.

On Trend: Luxe Event Linens for Backyard Parties

On Trend, Southern Events Products, Trends and Inspiration

pink velvet linens

When hosting a backyard party we like to go big! And that starts with creating memorable tablescapes at which people can gather to dine and socialize. The foundation of which are your linens, which set the stage for your event design. Today we’re sharing our luxe event linens that will elevate your outdoor celebrations in Nashville. Keep reading to learn about our in-stock rentals, available in a range of on-trend colors and high-end materials.

On Trend Colors

By far the easiest way to choose the best linens for your event tables is considering color. For a backyard party, we recommend one of two options. First, go bold with striking color! In the spring, we love soft pastels that pop against a lush natural setting – say pink or purple. Although dusty hues, like blue, can be equally beautiful. Second, keep it natural! Opting for colors that complement an outdoor space is an easy way to achieve a timeless look. Consider a crisp white or light shades of brown, like driftwood or taupe. More recently greens have been a hit, in sage and moss.

Luxurious Materials

In addition to colors, the type of materials you feature can help set the tone for your event. Our selection of luxe event linens includes a range of materials, from soft velvets to buttery satin and more! Here are just a few of our current favorites!

Velvet Event Linens

Velvet linens are the latest and greatest fad in event linen rentals. Largely because it is a simple yet effective way to feature texture at your tables. And it’s available in a huge array of gorgeous colors! For a backyard gathering, we recommend bright colors like Light Pink, Sea Glass, or Fern Velvet. Or, for an especially sophisticated look, opt for one of our etched designs featuring metallic accents. Such as Dusty Blue Etched Velvet or White Etched Velvet.

Satin Linens

Satin linens are a more classic option for tablecloths, but a modern option thanks to the wide range of colors available! The buttery material is light yet has a slight sheen that oozes luxury. During the spring, it is one of our favorite choices – and it will be yours too if you have an appreciation for pastels. Consider colors like Wisteria, Mint, Mediterranean, and Wheat.
