Send us a message at info@southerneventsonline.com and let’s start planning! Hosting an outdoor fall wedding? Get more inspiration when you take a look at this Fall Garden Wedding at CJ’s Off the Square.

As the crisp autumn air settles in and the leaves begin to turn shades of gold, CJ’s Off the Square in Franklin, Tennessee, becomes a magical setting for an intimate fall wedding. One such celebration, styled in rich tones of emerald and amber, perfectly captured the season’s essence. From a romantic garden ceremony to a cozy reception, every detail was thoughtfully curated with pieces from Southern Event Rental.

A Cozy Bohemian Garden Ceremony

The newlyweds exchanged vows on the patio beneath a floral arch constructed with lush greenery and bold florals. Guests sat in our classic fruitwood folding chairs, offering a rustic touch. For an equally stunning alternative, our wood cross-back chairs would have been an excellent option. The aisle was thoughtfully decorated with a collection of layered vintage rugs. Each one lent its own charm and texture to the scene, along with a splash of color. The result? A ceremony that felt as intimate and personal as it was beautiful.

Bourbon Tasting & Cozy Lounges

As the ceremony concluded, guests were invited to a cocktail hour that featured two distinctly styled bar areas. The first showcased our elegant Thompson White Bar, dressed up with a custom banner bar sign. Signature cocktails were served up in a mix of colorful beaded tumblers and our crystal Moncaco glassware—perfect for adding a touch of sophistication to every sip.

The second bar, crafted from whiskey barrels, catered to the couple’s love of bourbon. Paired with a sleek black bookcase displaying an impressive selection of bourbons and shot glasses. A simple setup that created a stylish tasting experience. Nearby, a cozy lounge area awaited guests, complete with our Bennett Leather Sofa and a pair of Gloria Velvet Armchairs. To keep the evening chill at bay, our hammered rectangle fire pit was a must, ensuring comfort as the sun set and the festivities continued.

Eclectic Elegance in Emerald and Amber

The reception was a stunning mix of textures and colors, creating a cozy yet eclectic atmosphere that perfectly suited the season. Mismatched tables brought an element of surprise and charm. With round tables dressed in luxurious emerald velvet linens that contrasted beautifully with our bare fruitwood banquet tables. Meanwhile, textured bohemian-inspired centerpieces added depth and interest.

The place settings were a true showstopper: Black Rim Glass Chargers provided a sleek foundation, while Onyx Earthen China added a modern, earthy feel. Brushed Copper Flatware brought in a warm metallic element. And our Kennedy Ivory Napkins offered a soft, refined finish. Together, these elements created a dining experience that was as visually appealing as it was inviting.

Retro-Chic Accents

It’s all about the details when it comes to pulling off a modern retro theme, and our retro-chic accents are just what you need to elevate your event.

And don’t forget the finishing touch—a neutral cowhide rug that ties everything together with its classic texture. These accessories may be subtle, but they pack a punch, turning any space into a polished, retro-inspired scene that feels both nostalgic and fresh.

To make these shades stand out even more, place them atop solid plates – Alabaster or Onyx Earthen China. And just because you’re going retro doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy a bit of glam! Sprinkle in a few metallics with Gold Rim Glass Chargers or Brushed Copper Flatware.

Kacy and Michael’s luxury Nashville wedding was a celebration of style and sophistication, beginning with an elegant rehearsal dinner at the Hermitage Nashville and culminating in a stunning reception at the Nashville Public Library. From the custom champagne tower to the literary-themed reception, every detail was thoughtfully curated to reflect the couple’s unique taste. With the help of Southern Events, their vision came to life through carefully selected rentals that added an extra touch of luxury and charm to their unforgettable celebration.

Sipping in Style

While the pair didn’t host a hotel wedding, the Hermitage Nashville was an idyllic backdrop for their sophisticated rehearsal dinner. The celebration started with an elegant cocktail hour, where guests gathered around our 6-foot Thompson White Bar, elevated with a custom bar menu on a banner. The real star of the show however was the champagne tower. It featured Gatsby Coupe Glasses filled with champagne and edible flowers, delicately stacked atop the Chelsea Marble Top Bar. To keep guests comfortable, tables in blue patterned linens and wood Harlin Dining Chairs were placed nearby.

A Refined Rehearsal Dinner

In addition to fun spring-inspired cocktails, Kacy and Michael’s guests enjoyed a catered dinner in the Veranda. It was a stunning backdrop, with the floor-to-ceiling cathedral windows and a ceiling painted to look like blue cloud-filled skies. Here, a single banquet table was outfitted in ivory linens, contrasted by classic black Chiavari Chairs with white padding. Place settings were simple, featuring White Coupe China, Bradley Flatware, and Pure Glassware. While fresh flowers and bright blue menus provided a romantic splash of color.

Dinner & Dancing Among the Stacks

The couple’s ceremony took place in the lobby of the Nashville Public Library. Afterward, the wedding reception was hosted in the Grand Reading Room. Guests spent an evening in elegance with a dash of scholarly charm, surrounded by rich wood paneling and shelves filled with literary classics. The wedding party sat at a long banquet table and guests at round. The crisp white table linens offered a sleek look in contrast to the cozy wood Cross-Back Chairs. Set against our luxurious Ophelia China and Austin Gold Flatware, soft blue linens were a fun splash of color.

Following dinner, guests were treated to the wedding cake. It was perched beautifully atop a table draped in our soft blue-hued Somerset Linens. A Full Oval Bar was close by, the perfect size to accommodate the newlywed’s large guest count. Meanwhile, a black and white dance floor in combination with the vaulted ceilings offered the illusion of a luxurious ballroom wedding. A custom stage with white podiums lined with florals made for an elegant backdrop, in addition to housing the live band.

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!

Champagne towers are more than just a cascade of delicious bubbly; they’re a spectacular celebratory statement piece for your wedding reception. Not only do they create a memorable photo opportunity, but they also double as stunning reception decor. At Southern Events, we’re excited to share design tips, including our favorite glassware selections, to help you create a truly unforgettable bubbly display. Or, if you aren’t head over heels for wedding champagne towers, check out a few equally impressive grab-and-go beverage areas.

Toast Worthy Glassware

The key to a stylish champagne tower lies in your choice of glassware. Select a champagne glass rental that complements the aesthetic of your wedding, whether it’s sleek and sophisticated or bold and eclectic. Our Gatsby Coupe Glassware is a modern choice that offers a timeless look yet features a solid base that is perfect for stacking. Matching the glassware to your overall decor ensures a cohesive and elegant presentation.

Eye-Catching Table Linens

Elevate your champagne tower with luxurious table linens that add an extra wow factor. Consider using materials that lend a touch of opulence, like a rich Grape Velvet or romantic Blush Matte Satin. Or opt for vibrant colors and prints to make a bold statement, such as the Four Seasons Floral. The right table linens not only enhance the visual appeal of your champagne display but also tie together the overall look of your reception space. If you’re looking for another way to display your tower without linens, you might also consider our Gold Bar Cart – an elegant choice for intimate or backyard weddings.

Pick a Bold Beverage

If champagne isn’t your drink of choice or if you’re looking to add a unique twist to your tower, consider opting for a colorful beverage. Infuse your tower with cocktails or mocktails that match your wedding theme, color palette, or even the season. Whether that means incorporating a bright mixer, colorful flowers, or edible glitter. This alternative not only adds variety but also surprises and delights your guests with unexpected flavors and hues.

Other Popular Drink Displays

For couples considering alternatives to a traditional champagne tower, Southern Events offers creative solutions. Our White 6 Tier Serving Tower provides stability while maintaining the classic tower shape, perfect for those who prefer a more secure display. Alternatively, transform our Market Cart or Bar into an elegant drink station with beverage dispensers, allowing guests to enjoy batch cocktails or refreshing mocktails at their leisure. For a simpler approach, showcase signature cocktails on a Bookcase display to streamline bar service and reduce crowding.

Creating an event table that wows your guests is an art form, especially when you lean into the “more is more” mentality of maximalist design. At Southern Events Party Rental, we offer a variety of patterned linens and eclectic serving ware to help you craft an utterly unforgettable aesthetic. Keep reading for maximalist event table ideas, including tips on how you can achieve a maximalist design that is bold yet balanced!

So, What is Maximalist Design?

Maximalist design is the opposite of minimalist design. While minimalism focuses on simplicity and restraint, maximalism encourages the use of colors, prints, objects, and textures to showcase your personality. This design philosophy is perfect for event tables, where you can combine various elements to create a space that’s chaotic yet elegant. Contrary to popular belief, maximalist design doesn’t mean clutter! With our expert guidance, you can create a tablescape that’s both over-the-top and functional, ensuring your guests are wowed by every detail.

Lots of Layering, Please!

One of the easiest ways to create a maximalist table is by layering linens and rentals. You might have seen layered linens in the form of soft and breezy runners or contrasting patterns. But don’t stop there—consider layering with elements like serving platters. With the rising popularity of charcuterie and grazing boards, appetizers can become part of your design. Imagine fresh sourdough rolls in baskets or an array of meats and cheeses on silver trays, adding both visual interest and culinary delight to your table.

Jenna Henderson
fairytale farm wedding nashville

Mix Prints & Textures

While it’s typical to feature one standout piece in traditional design, maximalism encourages multiple bold elements. More specifically, combining different patterns and textures, whether it’s table linens, china, or glassware. The key is to maintain balance and know when enough is enough! Think of it as controlled chaos where each item adds to the overall aesthetic without overwhelming the senses. For example, feature a funky Verdant Bloom tablecloth in contrast to sleek Onyx Earthen China and a bold Hot Pink Velvet Napkin.

Color is Your Best Friend

Color is a powerful tool in maximalist design. While a splash of color is a fun addition to any tablescape, maximalist design allows for more unique color combinations, including metallics. Play with contrasting tones or feature different shades of one color to create depth and interest. For example, try mixing the Savannah Sage Plaid tablecloth with green floral Liana China. From bold linens to colored glassware, embrace the freedom to experiment with color to make your table truly stand out.

Don’t Underestimate Cutlery

Flatware is often an afterthought, chosen to match existing metallics in china or chargers. However, in maximalist design, cutlery is an accessory—much like jewelry—that can elevate your tablescape. We offer a variety of unique flatware collections that will grab your guests’ attention and complement your overall design. Think beyond the basics and choose pieces that enhance the visual appeal of your table, such as the Noir Matte Black or Silver Como Flatware.

Neutral Maximalism

While we love color, it’s not a requirement for a stunning maximalist tablescape. You can achieve an equally impressive look with neutral tones by combining a variety of minimalist rentals. The key is to focus on texture and layering to create a rich, inviting space. Such as glassware! While you don’t need three glasses for each place setting, there is no harm if your many consist of three unique beverages. Neutral doesn’t have to mean boring; with the right mix of elements, you can create a maximalist table that’s sophisticated and chic.
