Southern Style: Bring the Indoors Out with a Homestyle Gathering

Southern Events Products, Trends and Inspiration

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!

Sage and white make for a pretty palette, but it's our Harlin dining chairs and Everly lounge that made this tented reception feel grounded and full 🌿 Good furniture selection rarely gets enough credit!

The best events don't feel like a series of rooms. They feel like one continuous experience.

That's harder to pull off than it sounds, and it usually starts with the rental selections. When the furniture, tabletop, and lounge pieces are chosen with the full day in mind rather than space by space, guests move through an event without ever feeling the transition.

Bold florals need a tabletop that knows when to step back 🌸 A classic combination of ivory and white kept this reception looking refined rather than minimal! Our Darcy China remains a fan-favorite for couples who want a reception that oozes no-frill romance.

We love a tented reception for a lot of reasons. The way color looks under sailcloth is near the top of the list. 🌿

Shades that might feel bold indoors take on a whole different quality in filtered natural light — warmer, softer, and somehow exactly right. It's one of those things you have to see in person to fully appreciate.

A hotel ballroom offers a lot — flexible layout, high ceilings, a neutral canvas. What it doesn't offer by default is warmth.

When hosting at a ballroom, the rental selections are what bridge that gap. Texture, color, lighting, and furniture choices determine whether a ballroom feels like a wedding or a conference. It's a distinction worth thinking through early.
