There’s something magical about a homestyle gathering that exudes warmth and charm. Picture this: a serene backyard, the gentle rustle of leaves, and a table set to perfection. A setting designed to evoke the comfort and elegance of an indoor space! With a few carefully chosen elements, you can create an outdoor event that feels as cozy and luxurious as your living room. At Southern Events, we’ve got everything you need to make this vision a reality.

Serving Ware with Style

No Southern gathering is complete without a spread of delectable dishes served in style. Swap out the everyday picnic plates for our selection of elegant serving ware that brings a touch of sophistication to your outdoor affair. Our Cabo China, in Blue or Marigold, is a bold choice bringing a splash of color to your event table. For a touch of glam, complement these pieces with a Gold Rim Glass Charger and our Austin Flatware. Or elude to nature and opt for a lush print like Emma or Liana. Alternatively, choose simple china that lets your decor shine! Such as the Glass Mosaic or Earthen Alabaster China. Don’t forget glassware! We stock pieces that range from sophisticated wine glasses to colorful goblets.

Linens That Love a Breeze

Linens might not be the first thing you think of when planning an outdoor event, but they’re the unsung heroes of creating that indoor-outdoor vibe. Draped over tables or plates, the right linens add texture, color, and warmth to your setup. Our durable Kennedy Linens are a solid foundation, whether you prefer a soft Topaz or a rich Storm. You can also create some dimension by mixing and matching textures and colors, such as a shimmering satin in shades of pink and purple. To achieve a more minimal and breezy aesthetic, opt for a Sahara Runner in neutral shades like Natural or Sage. Whether you’re going for the crispness of cotton or the richness of velvet, our range of linens will have you covered—literally.

Furniture That Feels Like Home

Comfort is key when bringing the indoors out, and that’s where our furniture rentals shine. Think plush sofas under the stars, armchairs that invite long conversations, and dining tables that serve as the heart of your gathering. Our wood tables are a captivating choice that brings luxury outdoors, even more so when combined with elegant Cross-Back or Adeline Dining Chairs. For added contrast, opt for Antique White Bentwood or Black Willow Chairs. If you’ll have a cocktail hour, be sure to take a look at our cocktail tables and barstools. Finally, create a unique outdoor lounge area when you mix and match sofas, armchairs, rugs, and accent tables. Or grab one of our curated lounges – there’s an option for every celebration!

Hosting a party is a wonderful way to celebrate life’s special moments with friends and family. However, in our efforts to create memorable events, we often overlook the environmental impact. From plastic disposables to excessive waste, parties can generate a considerable carbon footprint. But fear not, there is a better way! By choosing sustainable event rentals, we can reduce our ecological footprint while still throwing a stylish gathering. Explore how you can host a feel-good party by renting linens, china, and other serving pieces from Southern Events Online.

High-Quality Linens

When it comes to creating an eco-friendly tablescape, opting for sustainable linens is a fantastic choice. Instead of disposable tablecloths and paper napkins, consider renting high-quality fabric linens. Reusable tablecloths made from natural fibers like linen or cotton not only exude elegance but also reduce waste significantly. We stock a variety of options for every occasion! From whimsical pastels to bold jewel tones and sophisticated patterns. Plus, seasonally-inspired options such as Four Seasons Floral for a sunny summer soiree. Or, perhaps an Ocean Blue Velvet Tablecloth contrasted with Lavender and Hot Pink Napkins for a bold jewel-toned look.

Reusable China and Flatware

Ditch the disposable plates and cutlery in exchange for timeless china and flatware. Renting ceramic or porcelain dishes not only adds sophistication to your table settings. It also helps prevent single-use plastic waste from piling up in landfills, and your garbage cans. Stack our Darcy Charger with the Liana China, along with the Abby silver flatware for a charming vintage-inspired table. Or, for a more modern vibe, complement a Glass Charger with Black Rim and Earthen Alabaster China with Austin Gold Flatware. Need a setting that oozes luxury? You can’t go wrong with our Hamlet China – although the sleek Athena China is equally striking. Moreso when contrasted by the Noir Matte Black Flatware. Mix and match to your heart’s desire, or take a look at some of our favorite on-trend party plates for more inspiration.

Eye-Catching Glassware

One of the biggest culprits of waste at parties is plastic cups. Eliminate this waste by renting glassware for your beverages – an eye-catching alternative! From wine glasses to tumblers and everything in between, glassware rentals add a touch of class and sustainability to your party. In addition to being an easy way to infuse an extra touch of style. Take for example our Cybil glassware, with a funky modern shape. Or our beaded glassware, oozing coastal charm. Furthermore, consider using beverage dispensers for serving drinks. Not only do they look stylish, but they also minimize the need for single-use plastic bottles and cans. Infuse water with fresh fruits or herbs to create a refreshing and visually appealing drink station.

Stylish Serving Pieces

When it comes to serving food, to parties large or small, we offer a variety of options to suit your needs. Chafing dishes, which keep food warm, are excellent for buffet-style events and help reduce food waste by maintaining optimal serving temperatures. Meanwhile, family-style serving bowls encourage guests to share food, fostering a sense of community and reducing individual packaging waste. Finally, silver trays and charcuterie boards lend a touch of sophistication to your spread while avoiding disposable platters and trays.

Hosting a feel-good party with sustainable event rentals will showcase your commitment to the environment. In addition to creating a warm and inviting atmosphere for your guests!  Contact our team for help creating a unique tablescape, or if you need more ideas

Who doesn’t love a fabulous brunch?! Maybe that is why more than ever, people are centering their celebrations around this popular mealtime. From baby showers to bridal showers and weddings, brunch is a memorable way to mark a milestone. As well as a good excuse to break out the bubbles! The garden at CJ’s Off the Square has all the inspiration needed for hosting a sweet southern brunch party, featuring vintage-inspired rentals and classic serving ware pieces.

Set the Scene

If you’ve ever enjoyed brunch then you know that the goal is to create a setting that is sophisticated yet casual. A space where people feel special, enjoying a decadent meal. With this in mind, your tablescape is key. We love starting off with tables dressed in bright linens, such as Blush Shimmer. For a fun extra layer, top it off with a textured runner or overlay. For seating, our Acrylic Carrigan Side Chair will bring a modern contemporary touch – as will any of our acrylic seating options.

As with any brunch, fresh floral centerpieces are required! Place bright or neutral-colored blooms in our elegant Square Glass Vases. If you’re hosting a large party, it doesn’t hurt to throw a few bistro tables into the mix!

Then Set the Table!

Of course, the real star of a southern brunch party is the food! For which you’ll need to create an impressive tablescape. One of our favorite ways to create a memorable table is by featuring serving ware with textures. Start with our White Wash Rattan Charger, stacked with our dainty Darcy China and Darcy Bone China Charger. These pieces are the perfect combination of old and new! Pair it with our Abby Flatware, or Austin Flateware if you prefer gold.

To complete the place setting you’ll also need glassware, for a variety of popular brunch-themed beverages. A water goblet is always essential, and our Hob Nob Goblet is a stunner. It also pairs beautifully with our Heirloom Tea Cups and Saucers, for a quaint vintage touch for serving hot coffee or tea. For an especially well-thought-out table, you might also feature a Silver Coffee/Tea Server. Along with a matching Carson Silver Cream and Sugar Set, it will be a fun classically southern detail.

Create a Chic Lounge

It’s not brunch without mimosas! Creating cozy spaces to sit and sip will ensure that they feel comfortable enough to linger and mingle. A lounge will also be a comfortable and photo-ready spot for opening gifts. Our Everly Sofa and Chair are a beautiful pair – not to mention incredibly comfy! If you need extra seating, add in our Winstead Grey Tufted Bench. You’ll also want a place where people can set their drinks, like our Cheval Gold Mirror Side Table. Or our larger Blanche Coffee Table.

Speaking of drinks, another round of glassware is a must. Serve up mimosas in our Pure Champagne Flutes displayed on the White Barback Shelf for a stunning presentation. Provide a variety of fresh fruit juices in carafes, along with seasonal fruits and cheese on silver serving platters. Sparkling water is also a great option to have on hand for a mom-to-be, or kiddos in tow!
