Outdoor wedding ceremonies in Nashville come in every style and setting imaginable. From lush gardens and rolling farmland to city rooftops and lakeside docks, an open-air celebration brings the beauty of nature front and center. Whether you’ve dreamed of saying “I do” under a canopy of trees or in front of a sweeping skyline, Southern Events has the outdoor wedding ceremony rentals to make it unforgettable.
Seating That Sets the Scene
Your ceremony seating is more than a place for guests to land. It’s part of the overall atmosphere. Mix and match for an eclectic feel or choose a single style for a cohesive, classic look. For outdoor weddings, we love pieces that complement the surroundings and photograph beautifully:
- Rustic Benches for a relaxed, natural look that blends seamlessly into a farm or garden venue
- White Folding Chairs for a clean, traditional style that pops against green grass or colorful blooms
- Cross-Back Chairs for a warm, wood-toned touch that feels timeless and elegant
- Acrylic Ghost Armless Chairs for a sleek, modern contrast to outdoor backdrops
- Black Willow Chairs for a dramatic, fashion-forward vibe


Backdrops That Frame Your Vows
An outdoor venue often comes with a built-in view, but the right backdrop can help frame the moment and anchor your ceremony space. Even a simple structural element can help draw the eye and make your ceremony space feel complete. Some of our most-loved options include:
- Fiona Ivory Mantle for a romantic, vintage-inspired setting
- Wrought Iron Arch for a timeless structure that pairs beautifully with florals or greenery
- Franklin Antique White Columns for a clean, architectural touch
- Whiskey Barrels for rustic charm that also double as floral stands or drink stations


Style the Aisle
Your aisle is your runway, so give it the attention it deserves! Outdoor ceremonies are the perfect opportunity to incorporate natural textures and layered details. These little details not only elevate the design but also create gorgeous photo moments:
- Vintage Rugs to add warmth, color, and a collected feel
- Cowhide Rugs for a unique, boho-inspired twist
- Accent Tables like our Claro Metal or Cheval Gold Mirror Side Tables topped with flowers or lanterns
- Lush Florals or Greenery to line the pathway and soften the space


Frequently Asked Outdoor Ceremony Questions
- How many chairs do I need? Plan for one per guest, plus a few extras. For 150 guests, 160 chairs will give you flexibility for last-minute additions.
- What’s the best seating layout for outdoors? We love semi-circles for intimate spaces or staggered straight rows for a clean look. Curved layouts also work beautifully in wide-open areas.
- Do I need a backdrop if there’s a view? Not always! But a backdrop or framing element can help define the space and make photos feel intentional.
- Can I see the rentals in person? Absolutely. Schedule a visit to our Franklin showroom to see your options up close and design your dream setup.
