Happy Halloween! We here at Southern Events love nothing more than a theme, which is why we decided to gather our favorite gothic-inspired images to celebrate this goul-ish fall holiday. Many of these are favorites from our own past events, while a few of the images have us excited to spice up our personal parties! (A special thank you to Waiting on Martha and Victoria Austin Design for their chic ideas!)
When incorporating gothic inspiration into your own event, less is best. These rich-toned, moody elements are stunning and unique when featured in small doses— but lay the dark on too heavy, and you may scare your guests!
A special thanks to all the photographers we work with for their stunning (and hauntingly beautiful!) images! Happy Halloween!
Cadie and Aaron’s wedding took place at a private home in Franklin, TN and was captured by the superbly talented Nashville based wedding photographer, Joe Hendricks. Personal style and sweet accents were in every aspect of the couple’s outdoor country wedding design. Guests started the celebration in a stunning ceremony space surround by large trees – We especially love the unique pattern of yellow and white rose petals lining the aisle.
The wedding reception hosted in a large tent feature vintage details and yellow and white centerpieces. The twine and exposed-bulb chandelier by Nashville Event Lighting cast a perfect glow over the couple as they danced on our New England Plank Hardwood Dance Floor. Cadie and Aaron’s Wedding was a beautiful start to their happily ever after…
Congrats to another “Southern” couple – we loved working with you both and wish you many happy years ahead!
We would like to send a big thank you to the wonderful Nashville wedding vendors who made this event possible. We love working with great partners like you!
Delicate, vintage and breathtaking – Jacque and Jon’s wedding at CJ’s Off the Square simply blew us away! One of our most wonderfully talented Nashville photographers, Brandon Chesbro, took the artistic and intimate feel of this garden ceremony and reception to a whole new level with the shots he captured from this couple’s big day.
Caprice and her team at The Enchanted Florist created delicate and colorful centerpieces for the tablescape that highlighted the free and creative spirit of this couple. With a focus on vintage flare, this bride and groom chose to integrate our Farm Tables with lace runners and hanging glass votives throughout the outdoor pavilion.
Moss, burlap and twine accents, and plenty of candlelight set the stage for a beautifully natural set up. We love to see couples that choose to have small and beautiful vintage details in their event, especially the crafty MR and MRS sign details on the bride table. And, best of all, we were thrilled to see this beautiful soiree featured on Style Me Pretty!
Thank you again to all of the wonderful vendors below who made this possible. And congrats to the happy couple – it was a thrill to help you bring your vision to life!

Romantic Tablescapes for a Vintage-Inspired Rehearsal Dinner
Statement Displays that Combine Style and Functionality
Incorporate multi-level displays that are as functional as they are beautiful.

Serve charcuterie or bread and butter on our classic Silver Trays, and for beverages, chill bottled drinks in a charming vintage Washtub for a practical yet stylish touch.
A Charming and Intimate Beverage Bar
When hosting an intimate at-home brunch or a backyard soiree, you’ll want to treat your guests to refreshments. Whether they are craft cocktails or big-batch mocktails. For a small gathering, the Franklin Antique White 4-Foot Bar is an excellent option. Personalize it with a handwritten menu or floral accents to add character to your vintage-inspired rehearsal dinner.
Creative Centerpieces with a Vintage Flair
To elevate your table, utilize texture and trinkets to add charm to your tablescape. For example, vintage books, candelabras, and bud vases. These elements create visual interest while adding a nostalgic, personal touch. Incorporate sentimental items like favorite novels or romantic-themed books for a centerpiece that sparks conversation and feels uniquely yours.
