Julie & Mark’s sweet southern wedding was the perfect occasion to whip out some of our best-loved items! Our Cross-Back Chairs seated guests for both the ceremony and reception, with our Farm Tables for feasting in style. Our Wood Round Chargers look so distinguished when paired with our Pink and Grey Poly Table Linens. You can also see our Whiskey Barrels, Holden Stands, and Artie Easel Chalk Board on display from our Vintage Prop Shoppe! Our Vienna White Couch made for the perfect lounging spot, too.

Props to our fellow vendors Enchanted Florist and Bright Event Productions for helping make this wedding so southern-chic! Thanks to the talented Matt Andrews Photography and wedding planner, Summer Sheldon from Social Ambitions Events for pulling all the details together!

You read that right, y’all! Southern Events is coming to a TV screen near you with a series of commercials on WZTV Fox 17 News Nashville and The CW Network! We’re really excited to branch out into a (new to us) media platform. We thought it would be fun to share a behind-the-scenes look at how the shoot came together. Our product inventory is vast and versatile, so we decided to create three different commercials featuring three different styles – you get a sneak peek at all three below.  Stay tuned – we’ll be back on the blog later this week with a detailed post of all the products we used and links to our new commercials. Yay!

Photos below are courtesy of our talented friends, Jen and Chris Creed.  Big thanks to them 🙂

Jon and Lauren were married in an intimate lakeside wedding, hosted at a private home. The beautiful late summer day set the perfect scene for the happy couple to say their I-Do’s. Their closest family and friends sat on our Rustic Benches for the ceremony. Our blush pink table linens, Belmont Chargers, Artisan China, and Abby Flatware graced our Farm Tables for the reception. And we absolutely love how our Hungarian Baby Bathtubs were paired with our Whiskey Barrel Bar to serve the cold beverages! All in all, Jon + Lauren’s wedding was a sweet, intimate occasion to celebrate their love. Congrats again, you two!

Special thanks to Jenna Henderson Photography for capturing the day so beautifully!

Jill and Jacob’s were wed at Wren’s Nest, the perfect setting for a relaxed, woodland wedding full of vintage and rustic details. The Bride & Groom were seated in our Constance Vintage Chairs, while dinner was served on our Heirloom China. Guests lounged on our Rosie + Christopher Ivory Vintage Chairs and Barnwood Couch, paired with our Leona Vintage Coffee table. Props to Enchanted Florist for creating those lush, beautiful floral arrangements – we love those gorgeous garlands draped across the banquet tables! All of the details really came together to create an romantic, woodsy scene for the happy couple to commit their love.

Thanks to Krista Lee Photography for capturing the day so perfectly!

We’re back with Part 2 of our style shoot of the Loveless Cafe Harpeth Room! (See Part I here.) We’ve got more fabulous Southern details to share, starting with our Remington Gunmetal Dining Table, topped with our Austin Gold Flatware and Belmont Chargers! We loved the mixed metallics here! We also create a lounge area with our Galvanized Coffee Table and Ramona Couch. Our Whiskey Barrels paired with our  Galvanized Top made for a fantastic dessert bar (featuring some fav vintage props and our Windsor Cake Plateau)!

All in all, the style shoot was a huge success with a great team of vendors to partner with. Many thanks again to Modern Vintage Events and Alex Derry Photography, and all the other talented contributors. See a full recap from the gals over at Modern Vintage here.

Loveless Barn and Cafe is one of those classic Nashville hotspots, with out-of-this-world biscuits and that down-home southern vibe we can never get enough of. Loveless just opened a sweet new space, the Harpeth Room, so we teamed up with Modern Vintage Events, Alex Derry Photography, and a bunch of other talented vendors to help show it off in this amazing style shoot! Look closely and you’ll see all our favorite, high-demand pieces – Cross-back Chairs, Farm-style Bistro Tables, and Remington Gunmetal Barstools and Dining Tables.

There’s more fun where this came from! Stay tuned for Part II of this awesome Loveless style shoot, coming to the blog on Thursday!

Glamour, fashion and fun – these are a few of our favorite things! We teamed up with Big Events, Inc., for The Bride Room‘s Night of Fashion + Fun at The Cordelle, a fabulous new venue located in Nashville’s historic Rutledge Hill. Our cross-back chairs (standard and bar stool height) and Remington Gunmetal Bistro Tables set the scene for the stylish affair. Bright Event Productions lit up the evening with their string lights, and their gobos created a dramatic backdrop for the runway!

A big thank-you to the talented Mary Deaton Studios for letting us share these beautiful photos! You can see more stylish details from this event at Emily O. Homes’ blog.
