Pastels are a growing trend in event design this year. If you watched the Oscars, you know it (we are still swooning over Maya Rudolph’s glorious pink gown – among other amazing looks). Pastels were everywhere. Bonus: This trend incorporates itself beautifully in weddings and events. You can make this color scheme work with whichever various themes you’re going for. Classic? Of course. How about “garden charm”, or Southern, or “rustic glam”… yep, you can do that, too! Whimsical, romantic, and even glamorous, pastels will lend an enchanted feel to pretty much any event or wedding.

Often, when people think of pastel color schemes, they think “sweet, traditional, and girly.” That’s definitely not the case anymore! This pastel color scheme can most definitely be luxe and modern. Imagine monochromatic shades of pastel blue – that look is both sleek, modern, and incredibly fresh.

When creating a fresh look with these colors, you can bring in pastel linens, dishes, furniture, or florals. You could also weave pastel colors through your invitations, food (think French macaroons), or wedding party gowns and accessories. If you’re wanting to create a look with pastels, Southern Events Party Rental Company has everything you need – from linens to dishes to coffee tables!

2019’s Pantone Color of the Year is Living Coral, and we have all the heart-eyes for this color! There are tons of ways to go about incorporating Living Coral: sweet, feminine, classy, Southern…the ideas go on and on. Here, we are in love with how the spunky color combination of teal and coral can evoke both glam as well as fun vibes. If you’re looking to incorporate 2019’s Pantone Color of the Year – Living Coral – we think this is a fabulous way to do it. We adore how the color pops up in a myriad of ways at this Spring Tasting Event at CJs off the Square (even down to the adorable cocktail).

This glam and fun theme incorporates gold, mismatched and detailed dinnerware, and our swoon-worthy Farrah Teal Velvet Chair. The teal color woven through the theme takes the coral to a new level. The Tessa Tufted Beige Loveseat just had to be part of this look, with the glam and fun lines on the piece calling out to be included in this Coral shin-dig.

Poppies and other coral floral designs–along with coral linens–accented the event, assisting the teal and coral theme in adding to the glam and fun vibes.

Whether you’re having a traditional wedding or you are wanting to plan something out of the box, Southern Events has plenty of wedding ceremony rentals to choose from.

Here at Southern Events, we love a modern tablescape! While modern can sometimes mean stark or cold, your table design can have a modern feel and still be elegant and timeless.  With earthy elements, luxe fabrics, clean lines, and ghost chairs, we created three modern Southern tablescapes to inspire you.

#1 Modern Luxe Tablescape

Moody and glam, our modern luxe style features our Black Dupioni Linen, Carrera Marble Dinner Plates, Cybil Glassware, Sofia Flatware and Glass Chargers with Gold Rim. Taper candles in a sleek iron candle holder with carefully placed succulents as well as our Acrylic Armless Ghost Chairs, give this tablescape it’s modern lines while remaining understated. This table design would be perfect for a black tie gala, fundraiser or chic rehearsal dinner.

#2 Modern Seaside Southern Tablescape

Navy linens, relaxed china & glassware combine with an airy centerpiece and copper flatware to create a tablescape perfect for dining al fresco! For this modern seaside-inspired Southern tablescape, we used our Navy Blue Velvet Linens, Earthen China, Davis Glassware and Brushed Copper Flatware. Our Acrylic Armless Ghost Chairs once again keep this relaxed tablescape modern. Plus, we love using navy as a neutral, especially when it’s velvet.

#3 Modern Tuscan Southern Tablescape

Give your event a modern Tuscan feel! With patterned dinnerware, aqua linens and an oversized, this modern southern tablescape just needs wine! Featuring our Coronado China, Earthen China, Sofia Flatware, Davis Glassware, Ocean Blue Velvet Linens, Dove Gray Chiffon Runner, and Acrylic Armless Ghost Chairs. The bold linen and coordinating china are reminiscent of Italy art and flair, while the simple centerpiece and glassware keep this modern look the perfect fit for outdoor garden events, dinner parties and springtime wedding & baby showers.

Our Nashville event rentals were on display at our most recent styled shoot at Nashville’s White Dove Barn, where we dreamed up a boho fall wedding design with some amazing vendor friends!

The scene was set perfectly for our Fall-inspired boho wedding style shoot with Harlin Dining Chairs bringing natural wood to a beautiful white canvas. Our Bennett Leather Sofa was paired with the London Love Seat and Winstead Grey Tufted Bench for an impeccably chic style.

The elegant boho fall wedding tablescape started with charcoal gray linens, where Pure Glassware added striking cleaning lines next to the whimsical centerpiece by the amazing Kennedy Occasions and Feather and Oak Tennessee. Peachy-taupe taper candles from Creative Candles added a bit of romance, while our Carerra Marble Dinner Plates and gold Austin Flatware pulled the gold and gray accents together for a perfect design.

Thank you again Alex Thorton for the beautiful photos, and for Kennedy Occasions for pulling all the beautiful details on this boho fall wedding together.

What better way to spend a summer day than enjoying the outdoors? Many events this time of year include some outdoor aspect – whether it’s by the pool or on a stunning sprawling landscape. We’ve got all you need to keep it cool and comfortable without sacrificing style.

Sutton Furniture

Our most popular outdoor rental, these couches and ottomans convert into whatever shape works best with your space. Available in two different colors, your color palette won’t be bothered. And did we mention how comfortable they are?!

Lanterns

Low lighting always adds a romantic and soft ambiance, perfect for a garden wedding or cocktail style event. Lanterns make the perfect centerpieces, aisle markers, or pathway liners for outdoor spaces that might lack outlets or lighting – and we’ve got a huge selection!

Ghost Chairs

Ghost Chairs are a chic modern addition to an outdoor event. The best part? They are weather proof! Rain or shine, these incredibly stylish chairs and bar stools will hold up.

Beverage Tubs

When your guests are looking for a beverage or two, keep them cool in style. Our vintage Hungarian Baby Bath and Galvanized tubs are perfect for whatever you’re serving up and can easily be matched to your event’s style.

Small Tents

Don’t let one tent do all the heavy lifting! Separate your outdoor spaces to add better flow with our small 10 x 10 tents. A great addition to a larger main tent, these smaller tents are perfect for “housing” registration tables, photobooths, cigar bars, dessert tables, themed seating areas, and more. They’re also a great way to provide a little shade and protect your guests from possible rain.

We love an ethereal design that pulls light colors and soft fabric from the days of disco without jumping into a time capsule. A Dreamy Disco design takes 1970s flair and gives it a contemporary feel- pastel greens and peaches are soft and sweet while bold gold accents liven up the party. Silky smooth velvet invokes a classic 70s vibe while a more modern design keeps the party in the present day. We love a Dreamy Disco for weddings, tea parties, ladies’ luncheons or corporate events looking to channel 70s Dolly Parton.

This styled shoot at the Carnton Plantation married sleek modern neutrals and mixed metals with heirloom china and soft lighting for a dramatically romantic design. Starting with the 8ft Grayson Farm Table, we added formal Black Chiavari Chairs and Mercer White Leather Couches for a timeless black-tie blueprint. Mixed metals of copper, gold, and rose gold throughout the tablescape brought this neutral palette to life. Our Rogue Shimmer Charger was the base for the place setting, topped with our Alabaster & Stone Earthen China and Black Pindot Napkins. To complete the look and add a bit of vintage romance, our Heirloom China Bread and Butter Plate added the perfect finishing touch.

The bold centerpiece bouquet by Lauren Marie Atkinson and rose gold stationery from Designs in Paper mixed with the unique brass geo terrarium holders kept this styled shoot from feeling too buttoned-up while adding to the mixed metals theme. We love this chic romantic look for a gala, elopement, or dinner party. It was all captured beautifully by the talented Jenna Henderson.

Drumroll, please! We are thrilled to welcome new items to our inventory – just in time for spring and summer soirees! Introducing…

Adeline Dining Chair

With a rounded rattan back and neutral padded cushion, we see the Adeline Dining Chair making a splash as spring and summer parties this year.  The natural wood finish and carving details gives the chair a formal look, perfect the head table at your wedding or as part of a speaking panel of special guests.

Sophia Flatware

With its organic shape, our Sophia Flatware is a silver flatware set that includes a salad fork, dinner knife, soup spoon, dinner fork and teaspoon (as shown below).  We love this with our Earthern China and Round White China as part of a minimalistic tablescape or pair it with our Darcy or Heirloom China to embrace the feminine detailing.

Gold Accent Plates

Meet Blair, Kate & Vera! Available in three patterns, our Gold Accent Plates feature metallic gold detailing and measure 8″.  We love mixing these with our Darcy and Earthen China as well as using them for wedding cake service or on a dessert bar.

Ellie Cake Stand

Available in a brushed gold or brushed silver finish, measuring 18 or 22″ diameter and 4” height

CeCe Silver Side Table

Mercer Lounge Furniture

Wherever your ceremony is, we have unique decor to make the place you and your partner say “I Do” even sweeter. Whether you’re looking for something rustic or want to create comfortable seating for your guests, we have it in stock!

Vintage Ceremony Doors 

We love outdoor ceremonies, but oftentimes miss the excitement and build up that comes with walking down an indoor aisle. Adding our Fruitwood Ceremony Doors or Walnut Ceremony Doors (shown below) makes your entrance extra special – imagine them opening right before you take that first step towards the love of your life! These doors look amazing on their own, or can be decked out and decorated with hanging blooms and branches.

Whiskey Barrels 

Whiskey Barrels are classically southern, but become unique in their own way when you add flower arrangements on the top! Perfect as aisle markers or as a great way to lead guests to the ceremony site, our Whiskey Barrels (Fruitwood or White Wash) are available and a great way to add a rustic feel and personalize your ceremony space.

Champagne Pipe & Drape 

Perfect for adding a dramatic flare to your ceremony, our Champagne Pipe and Drape is the ultimate way to make a wedding ceremony unique and totally yours. It quite literally sets the stage for a couple to say their vows. And while it can be dressed up as traditional mandap, design possibilities are endless. It adds a unique touch to your big day, whether outside or in.

Guests’ Soft Seating 

We absolutely love the idea of forgetting uniformed seating for your ceremony. Keep guests comfortable, especially if you’ll be having a longer ceremony. Mixing and matching our loveseats and benches will leave your family and friends grateful for the extra cushion, while you can take pride in knowing your ceremony was completely unique.

Set in front of the Barn at Historic Beech Grove Venue, our Tessa Loveseat, York Loveseat, London Loveseat and Bellamy Bench set the scene for a unique outdoor wedding ceremony.
