At the beginning of March we had the pleasure of helping our friends at Dream Events & Catering celebrate the grand opening of their new location, which features a spacious kitchen, offices, craft nook, and tasting room. Southern helped the “Dream Team” stage a tablescape using our new Eiffel Chairs, Midas Gold Velour Benches, and Artisan China. (The gray farm table in the photos is a custom piece that belongs to Dream Events, but is very similar to our new Grayson tables!) The event welcomed several hundred guests, including Nashville’s Mayor, Megan Barry! It was such a fantastic evening to support our fellow vendors in the events industry. Congrats again to Becki Annastas and the Dream Team!

With the CMAs just around the corner and lots of fun summer concerts, we’re gathering inspiration for country-rock inspired festivities! A mix of rustic and urban details, this look would be perfect for an album-release party, a bachelor’s bash, or a casual corporate celebration. No place knows how to celebrate like Music City!

Nfocus Magazine’s annual Alfresco is a lovely event benefitting a great cause, and Southern Events was happy to provide rentals for the soiree. Held at the Westhaven Resident’s Club in Franklin, Alfresco was an unforgettable evening of Southern dining, whiskey and wine pairings, and live music. The annual event benefits Franklin 4 the Cure, which  promotes lifelong learning, leadership, preservation, philanthropy and environmental awareness within Westhaven and the greater Franklin community. The delicious cuisine was provided by The Food Company. Guests dined at our Fruitwood Farm Tables, set with our Austin Gold Flatware and Artisan China. Refreshing cocktails were served in our Recycled Wine Bottle Glassware Collection. All the details came together for a beautiful evening!

We’ve gathered opulent, elegant details that would be perfect for a corporate conference, awards ceremony, gala, or fundraiser. Gold details, from the china to the linen patterns and flatware, will add opulence and warmth to any drab conference center or neutral space. Our Fruitwood Bistro Tables are a unique alternative to the standard bistro or cocktail table, with a natural surface that keeps the overall event design fresh and on-trend. Add our Casablanca Lanterns and a few florals, and the scene is set for an elegant evening!

This outdoor wedding at The Farm on Eastland featured a relaxed, casual reception style. We loved this couple’s style and their clever use of our more eclectic props to design and organize their wedding. Cafe poly tablecloths paired with wedgewood blue poly napkins created a soft summer color palate. A mix of our decorative lanterns lined the tablescape, decorated the ceremony altar, and even served as a sweet card holder at the greeting table. Our Moby Chalkboard door pointed guests toward the reception, while our Sawyer chalkboard displayed the menu and our Lecture Chalkboard marked the dessert display. They even staged a fun play area for their younger guests using our Kid’s Farm Table and Crossback Chairs, and our Artie Easel for the kiddos to draw with. Our vintage Galvanized Trough held refreshments for guests. All the details came together for a fun, relaxing celebration for Amanda and Brian! Thanks to The Collection for sharing these images with us!

Introducing our newest china collections in stock: Hamlet & Ophelia! They feature opulent gold-rimmed patterns in two different styles. They look lovely on their own, but the two collections also coordinate well when mixed with each other, as well as our other china collections. Our Abbey Fine Silver Flatware and Austin Gold Flatware would pair beautifully with them, as well.  Each collection includes dinner plates, salad/dessert plates, coffee cups and saucers. Contact our team at info@southerneventsonline.com to reserve your favorite pattern for your next event!

Finally! We’re so excited to share a full recap of our gorgeous Urban Desert styled shoot at Acme Feed & Seed. In case you missed our Inspiration Board post last week, this shoot was inspired by the southwest. We mixed some of our most popular pieces (like our Fruitwood Farm Tables and Crossback Chairs) with some hidden gems in our Vintage Prop Shoppe (like our Marrakesh Screen, Sylvia Buffet Table, Ramona Couch, and Marjorie Vintage Coffee Table), for an eclectic, urban style.

The styled shoot featured four setups: a lounge, ceremony, reception, and dessert display. The lounge matched patterned textiles and vintage furniture with more bold florals. For the tablescape we arranged the Fruitwood Farm Tables in a chevron pattern, with lace runners layered beneath the place settings. Deep turquoise napkins and stacks of vintage books added a pops of color. We worked with a team of talented vendors, including Bright Event Productions, Enchanted Florist, Designs in Paper and Dulce Desserts. Castilleja Nashville (located in Edgehill Village) donated vibrant accessories, like the serape blankets and rugs, to complete the look! It was a true oasis of color and texture.

The styled shoot also turned into a surprise proposal for our model couple, Magen and Lyndi. When we invited them to model for the shoot, Magen asked if she could use the day as an opportunity to pop the question to her girlfriend Lyndi. Through skillful coordination and lots of secret-keeping, the plan was a success! The two got engaged between photo sessions on the Acme rooftop, surrounded by their friends and family. Such a sweet moment! You can see photos of the proposal in our feature on 100 Layer Cake.

Thanks to all our “friendors” who made this styled shoot such a beautiful success, especially Photographix for these gorgeous images.

There’s more gorgeousness where this came from! Contact us at info@southerneventsonline.com; we’ll help bring your vision for bold, unique wedding style to life.
