Get ready for dramatic color contrasts and rich textures! While we love the soft, organic styles inspired by nature that have dominated the wedding and events industry in recent years, let’s just say we are in the mood for a bold, sophisticated event style. This look is fashion forward, mixed black and white, bright pops of color, and strong metallics. Our Ghost Arm Chairs and Grayson Farm Tables paired with more luxe details like our Gold Medallion Chargers and Gold Velour Benches make it ultra glam. Dark but chic, edgy yet still elegant, this trend would be perfect for your winter wedding or corporate gala!

Southern Events was delighted to contribute to the 43rd annual Heritage Ball at the Eastern Flank Battlefield Park in Franklin this September. The Heritage Ball is the historic city’s longest-running black-tie event, and underscores the Heritage Foundation‘s efforts to preserve the architectural, geographic and cultural heritage of Franklin and Williamson County. The theme for this year’s gala came from a visit by the event chair to NYC – she was inspired by the simple refinement of an upscale New York restaurant. A monochromatic color palette of white & gray mixed with metallic accents and architectural decor created an elegantly chic space to raise funds and celebrate for the 700 plus guests in attendance.

The event featured a wide range of inventory items including our Mercer Lounge Furniture, Ghost Chairs & Barstools, Gold & Nickel Grey Velour Benches, London Loveseat, Eiffel Chairs, Conga Gold Drum Side Tables, Black Franklin Bars, White Silver Leaf & Granite Grey Shantung Linens, Darcy Bone China, Abby Flatware, Madison Glassware, Gold Chiavari Chairs, and both our Black & White Dance Floor as ell as our New England Plank Dance Floor.

The vision for this event came to life even more beautifully than we planned! Thanks to all who made this gorgeous event possible, and to those dedicated to preserving Franklin’s rich history!  Thanks to Phindy Studios for their beautiful photos of the event

Gold is having a moment.  It has become the go to color to accent event and wedding decor over the last few years.  Beyond some of the basics (gold flatware, gold chiavari chairs, gold detailed china), our inventory features a variety of unique pieces to add a shimmer of gold at your next celebration.

Gold Medallion Charger: This charger is a show stopper for a seated dinner.  A glass charger, featuring bubble detail it adds texture and sparkle when pair with our Black & White Tribeca Plate and Gold Austin Flatware. Stunning!

Gold Side Tables: Gold side tables are a must to any modern or boho lounge. Our Fitzgerald side table is a small pedestal table perfect for a lounge and features a matte gold finish. Additionally, our Gold Drum Side Table is a open barrel design available in two sizes, also with a matte gold finish (rain drops optional!).

Metal Accent Pieces: Available as a sphere or intersected cube, these metal accents pieces feature a gold brushed finish. We love them as an alternative to a lantern or hurricane vase with candle on guests tables. They would also be easy to hang these as part of a ceremony backdrop or over a dance floor.  These pieces work well alone, mixed ans match as well as combined with florals, lighting or candles when used as a centerpieces.

Windsor Cake Plateau: This golden beauty has been the base for many gorgeous wedding cakes but it works well for all kinds of food service including a buffet or dessert bar.  Available in 18″ or 22″ or with a silver finish if you are looking to mix and match metallics.

Outdoor parties in the South always have two things – snifters of bourbon and the waft of cigar smoke. A bourbon + cigar bar is a fun trend to incorporate into a bachelor’s bash, corporate reception, or birthday party but it can also be the theme of your event. Dapper dudes can celebrate the occasion in a relaxed vintage lounge, using a mix of urban lounge furniture, antique seating, recycled glassware, bistro napkins, and tan linens – all with a decidedly masculine feel.

Product details: Oatmeal Linens, Vintage Auditorium Seats, Recycled Wine Bottle Glassware, Grey Striped Bistro Napkins, Caldwell Bar, Urban Wood Side Table.

We’re swooning over this styled shoot we did at Trinity View Farm last fall, in partnership with Firefly Events! The rustic, organic style with upscale details is lovely inspiration for this year’s outdoor weddings. The neutral palette works for spring or fall, or any time in between. Our White-Washed Farm Tables create a clean slate for two different tablescapes, in this styled shoot. One features a mix of our Hamlet and Ophelia Gold-Rimmed China, Gold Chargers, and Austin Gold Flatware for a more formal style. The second one features our Artisan China and Abbey Fine Silverware for a more rustic, yet sophisticated look. For seating we paired our Crossback Chairs with our vintage Constance Chairs. We also created a lounge using our new Millie Couch, Conrad Coffee Table and Shelly Side Table. Thanks to our fellow “friendors” for their outstanding work, including Beyond Details, Dulce Desserts, and Designs in Paper.

For more snapshots of the shoot, see the feature in Style Me Pretty! Special thanks to Julie Paisley for these gorgeous photos!

When Nashville’s top wedding planners gather, one would expect a stylish setting.  The recent meeting of the Nashville Wedding Planners Group at the new Sycamore Farms gave them a stylish setting and an equal stylish table to dine.  Our Grey Goose Linens were set with our Darcy China, Hob Nob Glassware and Gold Austin Flatware creating a feminine tablescape that felt relaxed and on trend.  Tall arrangements of greenery and white & blush blooms from Owsley Designs made for easy conversation. We love this look for a ladies luncheon, daytime wedding, shower or dinner party.

Sycamore Farms is located in Arrington, TN on 28 Acres.  It features the gorgeous hall show below (check out that chandelier!) and lots of outdoor spaces to set up bars, lounges or take unique pictures. Thanks to Kristin Sweeting for the beautiful photos!

Festivals fill a Southerner’s fall calendar as the cooler weather coaxes people from their air-conditioned homes.  These events feature causal styling, industrial details and bold shades of red, navy & taupe. An obvious fit for a fall festival, this design also works well for a songwriter’s night, tailgate, birthday party or causal rehearsal dinner.

We’re delighted to share photos from this southern boho styled shoot at The Foundry, captured by photographers Nyk + Cali. The free-spirited, down-to-earth design featured our Fruitwood Rustic Benches for the ceremony, and our Fruitwood Farm Tables for the reception. For the tablescape, we used our Effie Ivory lace runner, paired with a mix of our Heirloom China, and Abby Fine Silver Flatware.

Thanks to Regalo Design for the beautiful florals to complete the style!

Our lovely selection of lace runners can add just the right touch of vintage elegance to your table scape. We have a variety of styles and colors to choose from, and they can be styled in several ways to suit your occasion. Straight and simple, or loose and layered, these are a delicate and upscale accent for any event!
