On Trend: Textured LinensOn Trend, Southern Events Products, Trends and Inspiration |

When it comes to event decor, table linens are a stylish way to dress up your event. Although simple, they are effective thanks to the wide variety of colors and materials, which contribute to the overall event design. Currently, we’ve been loving textured linens, from chic runners to velvet napkins. Get ideas on how to elevate your event tables when you feature a set of our on-trend textured linens!
Texture Table Runners
If you are featuring tables with an attractive top, then you won’t want to cover it up! Gauze runners are a stylish way to feature some contrasting texture, while still showing off the existing tabletop. Perfect for our Farm Tables! Our Sahara Runners pair beautifully with the wood finish, and are available in three stunning colors. Ivory and Natural are ideal for a modern minimal tablescape. Meanwhile, Rose will lend a fun pop of color! Our Chiffon Runners, available in Rose, Dove Grey or White lend to a more romantic feel. Want a more glam accent? Take a look at our Sequin Table Runners!



Sophisticated Linens
Dreaming of natural but sophisticated event tables? You can’t beat our Kennedy Linens! These linen-style tablecloths and napkins are lightweight, soft, with an organic texture. They are perfect for warmer months of the year as they are slightly sheer, lending a laid-back look. Not to mention they are available in a range of neutral and dusty colors, fitting for a modern event table! Some of our current favorites include Cactus, Fawn and Topaz.


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 PartiesOn Trend, Southern Events Products, Trends and Inspiration |

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.

Kennedy Linens
With their gorgeous texture, Kennedy Linens are one of our favorite tablecloths for a backyard party. Lightweight and with a natural feel, it is one of the best choices if you’re hosting a laid-back event with an upscale and airy vibe. It comes in a range of natural colors, including Cactus, Fawn, Topaz, and White. Make sure to grab matching napkins – but in a different color!

Patterns & Prints
Want a more bold yet still luxurious table? Be sure to take a look at our inventory of miscellaneous linens! There you’ll find unique patterns and prints like our elegant Gold Furrow and Gold Aurora Linens.

Southern Style: Tablescapes To Inspire You For Rosh HashanahSouthern Events Products, Trends and Inspiration |

The Jewish New Year festival Rosh Hashanah literally means “head of the year”. Taking place in early Autumn, one of the main features is festive meals both night and day. To help spark your creativity, we’re sharing tablescapes to inspire you for Rosh Hashanah, featuring our modern serving ware, colorful linens & more!
Symbolic Colors

Apples
It is traditional to begin the meal on the first night with slices of apple dipped in honey. Before eating the apple, we make the ha’eitz blessing and then say, “May it be Your will to renew for us a good and sweet year.” This tablescape features a runner of lush greenery, wheat, artichokes, and apples to create an abundant centerpiece. If you want to host your dinner celebration outside, be sure to check out our rustic furniture, like the Grayson Farm Table and elegant Cross-back Chairs.

Pears & Pomegranates
Aside from apples, pears are commonly used in sweet desserts. But, for another Rosh Hashanah table idea, they can also be used to decorate. As with pomegranates! Many eat pomegranates, giving voice to a wish that “our merits be many like the seeds of the pomegranate.” These fruits are not eaten on the second night of the holiday. So instead, opt for a “new fruit” or a fruit that has not been eaten since it was last in-season.
The tablescape below features our Cameron Flatware, Stemless and Madison Glassware, Russet Satin Napkins and London Fog Velvet Linens – for a neutral but elegant look!

In Stock: Unique Chargers for TablescapesOn Trend, Southern Events Products |

A stylish tablescape is a memorable element at any event, corporate gala or social dinner party. For many, the first addition is a charger plate, a large decorative base upon which other dinnerware is placed. These pieces serve as an effective yet simple way to elevate a tablescape, by complementing or contrasting your other serving ware, decor, or color palette. Take a look at our selection of unique chargers, now in-stock and available to rent!
Belmont Charger
A classic favorite, the Belmont Charger is a clear glass plate featuring a beautiful silver beaded rim. This versatile piece looks beautiful when stacked with bright or dark serving ware, creating an elegant yet subtle sparkle. Below, it is complemented by our Onyx China, Cameron Flatware, and Cybil Glassware, for a modern and dark yet whimsical look.
Copper Glass Charger
A newer item in our catalog, the Copper Glass Charger is a chic piece that lends a gorgeous touch of metallic to any tablescape. The bright copper rim has a feathered edge, giving it a fun contemporary vibe. Consider complementing this unique charger with our Brushed Copper flatware and Carrera Marble Dinner Plate.
Darcy Bone China Charger
When your goal is a classically feminine tablescape, you can’t go wrong with our Darcy Bone China Charger. With a dainty rim, this delicate plate looks stunning for a more traditional design. If you’re a fan of the current cottage core trend, we recommend pairing this plate with our Heirloom China, Abby Flatware, and vintage-inspired Hob Nob Glassware.

Glass Charger with Gold Rim
Our Glass Charger with a Gold Rim is a must-have for any luxe modern tablescape. Simple yet bold, it features a clear glass center and a metallic gold rim. Popular for weddings, it looks especially beautiful when contrasting rustic elements, or when complementing other minimalist details. As shown below, it is paired with our Austin Flatware and Pure Glassware.

Glass Charger with Silver Rim
Similar to the previous design, our Glass Charger with a Silver Rim is an equally gorgeous alternative to gold. It offers a cooler tone to a tablescape that may be preferable for a brighter palette or cool weather event. On the tablescape shown below, it is complemented by a modern color palette of grey and purple.

Gold Round Laquer Charger
Our Gold Rouge Laquer Charger is a classic that can be dressed up or down. It can be paired with a wide range of china, including our Darcy China or mixed and matched with our Gold China. To complement the metallic shade, feature it alongside our Gold Austin Flatware.
Medallion Gold Glass Charger
If you want a tablescape that screams luxe, check out our Medallion Gold Glass Charger! This intricate design is a stunner and looks even more beautiful stacked with our Athena or Ophelia China. The tablescape shown is topped with a Spice Velvet linen for a slight boho look. But for an equally dramatic yet moody vibe, opt for a darker color such as Black velvet.
Rouge Round Laquer Charger
A versatile piece, the Rouge Round Laquer Charger is a rich copper tone. Although it looks gorgeous with neutral tones, feel free to spice up your tablescape by adding in more vibrant colors! As you can see below, it looks beautiful with a deep blue, true red, as well as silver metallics, and Earthenware.

Scalloped Wood Charger
Boho is in and our team at Southern Events is here for the trend! Our Scalloped Wood Charger is an easy way to lend a rustic yet charming look to your tablescape. It features a beautiful wood grain that perfectly contrasts bright serving ware, such as our White Round China. On the other hand, keep this unique charger front and center when pairing it with Clear Glass China.
Silver or Black Round Laquer Charger
Our Silver Round Laquer Charger is a stunning base for a cool weather tablescape that is modern and luxe. Consider pairing these unique chargers with vibrant linens, such as our Light Blue Pindot or Wisteria Satin tablecloths. Meanwhile, our Black Round Laquer Charger works well in as a grounding element in both neutral tablescapes and bright and bold looks. Consider pairing it with our Fuchsia Etched Velvet Linen or against our Grayson Tables.
White Round Porcelain Charger
There is nothing wrong with a traditional tablescape starring our White Round Porcelain Chargers! Lending a traditional look, this style is preferable for corporate events, in addition to formal weddings or similar social events. It is easily paired with a selection of our white or ivory linens. Consider adding a luxe metallic touch via the flatware!

Wood Round Charger
Don’t be mistaken, our Wood Round Charger can be used for more than rustic-themed tablescapes. While this faux wood charger looks beautiful next to other rustic elements, it can also be used to create a fun and modern design. See below, where it is paired with bright whites, vibrant pink, and gold metallics.

On Trend: Backyard Alfresco DiningOn Trend, Southern Events Products, Trends and Inspiration |

When the weather is nice, why not enjoy dinner with your family and friends outside? Come spring and summer in Tennessee, there is nothing better than dining in the fresh air, with a cold cocktail in hand. Get inspired for backyard alfresco dining with our stylish in-stock serving ware.
Vibrant Cherry Red & Teal
To complement the colors of the season, we love a vibrant tablescape. This design features cherry red and teal, for a look that is classically southern. Our warm fruitwood farm table acts as a base for White Square China, Navy Blue Velvet napkins, and Pure Glassware. A cool-toned, Dove Grey runner lends another hint of blue to the table. Meanwhile, our Brushed Copper Flatware and Audrey Gold Rim Glassware bring a touch of glam via metallics.
Natural Lime & Lemon
Sometimes less is more! For this natural table design, fresh citrus and fruit was the star of the show. Atop Heritage Ivory Linens, we placed our simple Artisan China and Wood Round Charger, complemented by Brushed Copper Flatware. The centerpieces consisted of fresh greenery and citrus, which were perfect for the lush lawn setting. To tie some greenery into the tablescape, we opted for our favorite fern velvet napkins. This design is ideal for a bright mid-morning brunch or afternoon cocktail hour!
Rustic Farm-to-Table
When you want a casual yet put-together look, opt for a farm-to-table design. This simple tablescape features our Artisan China, Sophia Flatware, and Madison Glassware. Despite the minimal serving ware and linens, what truly makes this layout is the table and chairs. Take our Cross-back chairs, which are plain yet oh so elegant. For a pop of color, you might consider brightly-colored napkins or a table runner. Perhaps in our Cornsilk Poly or Peaches n’ Cream Poly.
Bold Black & Gold
Black and gold are a classic pairing and surefire way to make a statement. This luxe and bold backyard alfresco dining table showcase a mix of moody hues, including black, gold, and a variety of red shades. For the serving ware, we opted for our Austin Flatware, Medallion Gold Glass Charger, and Madison Glassware. What amplifies this tablescape is the balance from glam elements, such as the gold and acrylic details. Take for example our always popular Acrylic Ghost Chairs! If you prefer an equally colorful but bright style, take a look at this colorful backyard party.
Classic Cookout
There is something so charming about gingham, and this backyard cookout-inspired table just does it for us. It was created using our Onyx China and silver Sophia Flatware. The true black plates are an easy way to bring the fun gingham tablecloth back down to earth. Yet super cute coke bottle centerpieces and our contemporary Davis Glassware keep the overall vibe light. For a look that is slightly more toned down, switch out this tablecloth for a solid or neutral color.

Southern Thanksgiving Table Must-HavesOn Trend, Southern Events Products, Trends and Inspiration |

Make your Thanksgiving table extra special this year with specialty china, flatware, linens & decor! At Southern Events, we love nothing more than an aesthetically pleasing and functional tablescape and is why we are proud to offer the latest in modern and stylish rentals. Plus when you rent you get to skip doing the dishes, as all rentals come back to us for full sanitization! Keep reading to get inspired by our southern Thanksgiving table must-haves.
Modern Thanksgiving Look
If you love a trendy modern tablescape, you have to start with our understated Earthen China. These unique dishes are beautiful in and of itself, but especially when paired with contrasting metallic accents. Take for example our Brushed Copper Flatware, which pairs especially well with Onyx & Stone. For a lighter look, opt for Alabaster. For glassware, our Cybil or Pure Glassware are classic for your Thanksgiving dinner. The sleek Upton Glassware matches perfectly for pre-dinner drinks.
Whimsical Thanksgiving Look
If you want a Thanksgiving tablescape that truly stands out and is memorable, aim for a look that is more whimsical. While we recommend more classic china, such as our Gold Accent China, have fun with the surrounding elements like your centerpieces or napkin holders or ties. Take our Como Flatware, which features a super-unique yet chic handle. For additional color, check out our gorgeous Colored Glassware and various Velvet Napkins. Our favorite colors for Thanksgiving? Driftwood & Spice of course!
Elegant Thanksgiving Table
The most elegant tablescapes are luxe yet often minimalistic. To start, we recommend checking out our stunning Hamlet China, which features intricate gold designs. When paired with a solid or Gold Rimmed Charger you have a perfectly complementary place setting. For drinks, both water & wine, it has to be our Audrey Glassware. Top it all of with our Heritage Napkins and a simple Chiffon Runner for a bright, airy and clean look.
Thanksgiving Service Pieces
Thanksgiving is all about food (except for giving thanks of course!) It’s important that your food looks as good as it tastes. Be sure to display your food in the best way possible, which is easy with our gorgeous selection of serving ware. Our Wyatt Pedestal Cake Stands & Willow Cake Stands make creating a multi-level buffet easy. Meanwhile, our Wood Melamine Tray is a chic option for a tasty pie display. Then there is our elegant Bar Cart which makes serving up drinks a breeze.
