We were pleased as punch to sponsor the inaugural Craftmasters Dinner at Homestead Manor in March! The event brings the best craft brewers and distillers in middle Tennessee to Homestead Manor for delicious brews and bites. The March event featured Yazoo Brewing Company with all proceeds going to the Williamson County CASA Advocacy Program for children in need. Guests sampled beer flights using our Sterling Shot Glasses, Temptationz Glasses, and Recycled Wine Bottle glassware. Delicious Homestead cuisine was served using our Silver Tasting Spoons, Classic White China and Soup Tureens, and Glass Footed Coupes. Our Barnwood Couches set the scene for a relaxed, rustic lounge by the expansive fireplace in Homestead’s barn.

All in all, it was a fantastic evening and we look forward to future dinners! Shout-out to our fellow sponsors: Bright Event Productions, Premier Entertainment, and The Farmer’s Florist. Special thanks to Jenna Henderson for capturing the festivities and sharing these images with us!

Soft and romantic are mainstays of a Southern wedding but this timeless look extends to a variety of milestones.  Showers, afternoon tea with the Junior League or a child’s first birthday are a perfect fit for the feminine styling of Southern Sophistication.  We suggest mixing items from our Vintage Prop Shoppe like our Heirloom China with our scalloped Darcy Bone China and Hob Nob Glassware. Then pair these rentals with a pastel color palette (consider this year’s Pantone colors – Rose Quartz and Serenity) and garden inspired florals to achieve Southern Sophistication for your wedding or event!

The York Loveseat and London Loveseat are modern settees, perfect for an upscale lounge. While the two look very similar in their photographs, their upholstery is a slightly different color; the York is upholstered in a navy tweed making it darker than the the London, which is upholstered in grey tweed. They both measure at 34.25″H x 45″W x 29.75″D, with a seat that measures 20″H x 45″W x 21″D. These handsome settees would pair well with our Santorini Couch and Mykonos tables, as well as our Fitzgerald Side Table.

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!

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.
