A wedding styled with dramatic rustic romance is a beautiful way to celebrate tying the knot, and Morgan and Nick did just that. They whisked their guests away to the majestic Saddlewood Farms, where the secluded affair began with an unforgettable outdoor ceremony. Family and friends were seated comfortably on the lawn with our white folding chairs before heading inside for cocktail hour, where our distinct lounge furniture set the scene.
Our Bennett Leather Sofa, London Loveseat, Cheval Gold Mirror Side Table, and Chocolate Poufs were rustic romance defined and pulled together perfectly atop Cow Hide Rugs. Throughout the massive barn, several of our Gold Conga Drum Side Tables were on display so guests could easily move around the barn and know they’d have somewhere to rest their drinks.
Dinner was an exquisite affair, with natural wood, gold, blush and burgundy at every turn. Our most-loved Harlin Dining Chairs with cushions were seated across from our Adeline Dining Chairs at the head table, while other family and friends were seated comfortably on Chiavari Dining Chairs. The head table featured table linens in rich burgundy, while round tables displayed blush dinner napkins for a bit of femininity. Hob Knob Glassware, Glass Chargers with Gold Rim, and Austin Flatware completed the tablescapes, with Wood Round Chargers rounding out the details of this magical rustic romance design.
Thanks so much to Laurie D’Anne Events for pulling all the elegant details together, and to SheHeWe Photography for sharing these photos with us.

We love when a new space opens its doors here in Franklin, TN, but when new spaces are as beautifully designed as The Lodge our hearts do a little dance! The Lodge in Franklin, TN is a co-working space beautifully designed with high ceilings, modern amenities, and rustic style. With private rooms and an industrial style event space, it’s a great location for companies to host gatherings, summits, retreats, or simply get-out-of-the-office meetings.
For company cocktail hours, summits, or retreats The Lodge‘s large event space boasts rustic finishes and large glass garage doors to let in lots of natural light.

We’re big believers in planning corporate meetings off-site: nothing like a change of scenery to bring about fresh new ideas. Go a step further and let your actual meeting space be a functional yet inspiring spot for employees to brainstorm, collaborate and learn with our bold and colorful rentals. We met up with friends over at The Lodge in Franklin, TN and styled one of their meeting rooms to be a vibrant, cheerful space that encourages employees to think big!
This bright conference room was already drenched in natural lighting. We added to that brightness with colorful vintage chairs, like the Charlotte, Amanda, Sadie, and Alex chairs along with the Cross-back and Adaline Chairs.
Our Vintage Sunny Rolling Cart was a thoughtful touch – employees were able to grab a caffeinated beverage at any point in our Earthen Alabaster Mugs, keeping their minds sharp! Attendees were able to grab more than just caffeine – Carafes filled with various juices were not only beautiful but were a refreshing mid-morning treat!
As an added treat, we did away with the expected mug-filled-with-pens centerpiece. Instead, we filled our new Acrylic Rectangle Container with colorful energizing trinkets! Employees loved the silly addition that helped them keep boredom away while working brainstorming with their colleagues.

Team Southern had the honor of designing a meeting for Tennessee’s Wedding and Events Specialists Association (TWESA) with Homestead Manor recently. We brought along our distinct rentals, including our most loved Mercer Leather Couches and Farm Tables and placed them amongst our newest and most popular rentals, like the Harlin Dining Chairs and Chiffon Runners.
White Leather Mercer Couches and our Nickel Grey Bench with soft velvet fabric and acrylic legs were set up alongside the barn to create lounge areas for meeting attendees to enjoy throughout the event. Inside, tall cocktail tables were draped with Burgundy Red linens and tied together with a satin ribbon. Our Gold Metal Spheres were placed throughout the property for added charm.
Our center tables were dressed as soft golden daydreams, with hues of rose and greys throughout. Dove Grey Chiffon Runners were draped carefully as Harlin Dining Chairs provided a unique architectural touch. Earthen China dinner plates in stone were placed atop Darcy Bone China chargers for a modern design, and our Austin Gold Flatware added a metallic flourish. Satin Rose linen napkins kept things soft and sweet while our Pure Glassware added striking and timeless lines. Gold Metal Intersect Cubes completed the look, with shimmering gold and clean lines for a perfectly crisp, positively beautiful style.
