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!

Hard to argue with the visuals. 🍹

Glassware tends to get finalized late in the rental process and it's one of the details that guests interact with more than almost anything else at an event. Every person at a cocktail hour is holding a glass for the better part of an hour. That's a long time for a rental decision to either elevate or undercut the rest of the setup.

The best weddings have a thread running through them.

This one carried it from the ceremony rows to the reception table — soft, light, and unhurried. Sage accents in the glassware and napkins, scalloped china that added just enough character 🤍

A charger plate never holds a single bite of food. And yet it might be the most important thing on the table. 🍽️

One charger choice can shift the entire tone of a tablescape before a guest ever sits down. We broke down exactly why — link in bio.

The tables that look simple usually aren't. ✨
Earthen Alabaster China and Santorini Stripe Napkins — the kind of details guests notice once they sit down.

A lounge area isn't just extra seating. It's where the party actually lives. ☀️

Guests need somewhere to land between the dance floor and the dinner table. A well-placed lounge gives them that — and keeps the energy moving instead of stalling. Worth thinking about before the floor plan is finalized.

Cocktail hour gets overlooked in the planning process more than it should. 🥂

The right mix of cocktail tables and barstools shapes how guests move, where they land, and how the whole space feels before dinner even starts. We broke down exactly how to get it right — link in bio.
