Whether celebrating a Southern wedding or a black tie gala, romantic textures and elegant design are simply timeless. With lush velvet fabric and a delicate color palette, our latest Parisian Romance inspired styled shoot was a true delight. We worked with the awesome team from Events by Janie and Ravenswood Mansion to style our distinct Nashville rentals into a love and lace-inspired look.

The scene was set with cameo blush velvet linens draped atop bistro tables – a romantic way to welcome guests to any Southern wedding. For the tablescape, our Bloom Chiffon Runner and Sophia Flatware  were paired with our Beaded Belmont Charger for a classic and feminine design (topped off with a dinner napkin folded into a rose!). Pure Glassware was set atop our Fruitwood Farm Table where our Adeline Dining Chairs completed the Parisian romance style inspiration. We can’t wait to bring this to our couples in 2019!

Thank you Jannah Alexander Photography for capturing the beautiful photos.

Our Nashville event rentals were on display at our most recent styled shoot at Nashville’s White Dove Barn, where we dreamed up a boho fall wedding design with some amazing vendor friends!

The scene was set perfectly for our Fall-inspired boho wedding style shoot with Harlin Dining Chairs bringing natural wood to a beautiful white canvas. Our Bennett Leather Sofa was paired with the London Love Seat and Winstead Grey Tufted Bench for an impeccably chic style.

The elegant boho fall wedding tablescape started with charcoal gray linens, where Pure Glassware added striking cleaning lines next to the whimsical centerpiece by the amazing Kennedy Occasions and Feather and Oak Tennessee. Peachy-taupe taper candles from Creative Candles added a bit of romance, while our Carerra Marble Dinner Plates and gold Austin Flatware pulled the gold and gray accents together for a perfect design.

Thank you again Alex Thorton for the beautiful photos, and for Kennedy Occasions for pulling all the beautiful details on this boho fall wedding together.

Modern romance was the vision for our inspiration style shoot at the breathtaking Estate at Cherokee Dock in Nashville, TN. The shoot featured a dreamy pink, white and gold color palette as ee partnered with the wedding planning team from It Takes Two. Pairing romantic vintage rentals with sleek, modern rentals to create this look, we’re in love with the results!

White draping under a gorgeous magnolia tree on the estate provided the perfect canvas for a romantic outdoor affair. For our garden dining area, we paired vintage inspired Adeline Dining Chairs with Ivory Luxe Linens for texture and romantic style. Our table setting included our elegant Gatsby Champagne Coupe, Madison Glassware, and charming Darcy China combined with metallic modern accents. Our gold Austin Flatware, Vera Floral Gold Accent Dessert Plate, and Medallion Gold Glass Charger provided just enough sparkle while a beautiful floral centerpiece by Petals and Fields tied everything together.

For the ceremony, Acrylic Ghost Chairs provided an unexpected touch of modern style to the ceremony, completing the marriage modern and romantic. A few of our favorite vintage pieces, including our Vintage Harper Couch and Leona Coffee Table, were used to create intimate lounge area while our Acrylic Rectangle Containers tied back to the other modern touches.

The fabulous cake by Lillian Lane Bakery was displayed on an elegant White Chiffon Runner over our Isabel Oval Table, and surrounded the gorgeous confection with candlelight, set off in our Davis Glass Cylinders. So much to love!

The Southern Events team had a fabulous time at CJ’s off the Square in Franklin, TN, where we collaborated on their winter tasting and wedding style showcase! We worked with the team at CJ’s and Enchanted Florist to design a variety wedding style inspiration tablescapes for engaged couples getting married at this intimate garden venue. We brought along some of our most-loved wedding rentals for a truly beautiful affair!

In the garden, we paired rustic Fruitwood Farm Bistro Tables with Cross-Back Bar Stools for a cocktail style set-up. By the koi pond, our luxe Cameo Blush Velvet Linen and Cecilia Floral Matte Satin Linen gave a sumptuous variety of texture within a rosy color palette.

Boho Chic Wedding Design

In the wedding pavilion, brides and grooms-to-be were treated to a bouquet of wedding ideas and inspiration. For our Boho Chic tablescape, we featured Fruitwood Round Farm Tables and Cross-back Chairs, the natural wood set off by our Chiffon Table Runners. We paired Rogue Round Laquer Chargers with our Earthen China in Stone and Pure Glassware to achieve a relaxed and boho-inspired tablescape.

Southern Garden Glamour Wedding Design

Couples looking for more Southern garden glamour were wowed by the Garden Party wedding table. We went all out feminine with our color palette, featuring our pops of gold and soft pink with our gorgeous Gold Chiavari Chairs, Glass Chargers with Gold Rims, Austin Gold Flatware, Blair Salad/Dessert Plates. Vintage-inspired touches like our beautiful Darcy China, Champagne Lace Runners and Gatsby Champagne Coupe Glasses pulled the elegant look together while an ornate and girly centerpiece by Enchanted Florist made everyone swoon.

Modern Minimalist Wedding Design

For a modern engaged couple looking for a sleek design, our Modern Minimalist look is perfect. We kept the color palette and wedding design simple and clean, featuring our Glass Mosaic Dinner Plates and square-bottom Cybil Glassware. Our striking Brushed Copper Flatware provided a pop of color against elegant Charcoal Dupioni Linens and our classic White Resin Folding Chairs.

Moody Modern Drama Wedding Design

The Moody Modern Drama tablescape was a hit with engaged couples looking for a bold wedding design. We highlighted our Onyx Earthen China against bright ivory linens and paired our popular wooden Harlin Dining Chairs for a natural touch. Gold accents with mercury votives and Austin Gold Flatware completed the show-stopping look.

Sweetheart Table Wedding Design

For the sweetheart table, our Cowhide Rug was placed beneath a mini Fruitwood Farm Table. Then it was set with Vintage Constance Chairs and Bloom Chiffon Runner. Copper tubing and over-the-top wedding flowers made this sweetheart table design a striking focal point, fitting of the guests that will cozy up as newlyweds here!

Thanks to Nashville Wedding Photographers Jen and Chris Creed for capturing every moment and to the wonderful Nashville Wedding Venue CJ’s off the Square for their wedding design and planning.

Clean, sophisticated lines and chic rustic details were a match made in Nashville heaven at our most recent Styled Shoot. We teamed up with Ruffled Feathers Events and Homestead Manor to transform their space with an inspiring aesthetic. Rustic beauty was literally suspended midair!

Golden metallics sat upon raw, natural wood to create a stunning design – it’s classic rustic southern style all grown up, with modern flourishes and gilded details! For the first setting, our most-loved Austin Flatware sat elegantly next to the Gold Rim Glass Charge, topped with a copper-meets-mauve Russet satin dinner napkin. The second table setting saw Artisan China, Rouge Round Laquer Charger, and Gatsby Champagne Coupes, next to Pure Glassware – such a beautiful metallic rustic modern design!

Acrylic Ghost Chairs provided an enchanting touch of modern to the suspended wooden table. Our Pure Glassware completed the modern touch with sleek, crystalline lines.

Thank you to Madi Flournoy Photography for sharing these beautiful photos with us!

We’re big believers in planning corporate meetings off-site: nothing like a change of scenery to bring about fresh new ideas. Go a step further and let your actual meeting space be a functional yet inspiring spot for employees to brainstorm, collaborate and learn with our bold and colorful rentals. We met up with friends over at The Lodge in Franklin, TN and styled one of their meeting rooms to be a vibrant, cheerful space that encourages employees to think big!

This bright conference room was already drenched in natural lighting. We added to that brightness with colorful vintage chairs, like the Charlotte, Amanda, Sadie, and Alex chairs along with the Cross-back and Adaline Chairs.

Our Vintage Sunny Rolling Cart was a thoughtful touch – employees were able to grab a caffeinated beverage at any point in our Earthen Alabaster Mugs, keeping their minds sharp! Attendees were able to grab more than just caffeine – Carafes filled with various juices were not only beautiful but were a refreshing mid-morning treat!

As an added treat, we did away with the expected mug-filled-with-pens centerpiece. Instead, we filled our new Acrylic Rectangle Container with colorful energizing trinkets! Employees loved the silly addition that helped them keep boredom away while working brainstorming with their colleagues.

Wedding Style: Modern Chic

Modern Chic is a darling design that features sleek lines combined with bright colors and lots of texture. Neutral Grayson Farm Tables set the scene and a dressed to the nines with Gold Austin Flatware, Medallion Gold Chargers, and Black & White Triangle Plates. We love the acrylic Ghost Chairs on one side, and the Midas Gold Velour Bench on the other for a unique take on seated dinners.

Wedding Style: Garden Romantic

A sweetly romantic garden party is a wonderful and heartfelt way to exchange vows, with a soft color palette and plenty of vintage touches. Distressed Farm Tables in white wash with natural wood Cross Back Chairs or our Harlin Dining Chairs welcome guests into a secret garden, where dreamy rentals set the scene. Tables are adorned with ornate details like our Hob Knob Glassware and Abby Fine Silver Flatware next to satin dinner napkins, or placed perfectly among Chiffon Table Runners. Lounge areas aren’t left out, as our Tessa Tufted Linen Beige Loveseat with wooden legs adds natural subtle romance to any area.

Wedding Style: Textured Boho

Couples with a genuine love of nature and vibrant colors fall perfectly in love with this Textured Boho style – a gorgeous mix of organic elements topped with vintage & metallic details. Wood Chargers, Artisan China, unique Como Flatware, and gold flourishes stun in any setting – not to mention, they are accented perfectly regardless of your chosen color palette. Painted vintage furniture is perfectly Bohemian with bright and vibrant colors – the vividly colored Charlotte Chair and vintage Basil Arm Chair are just two selections from our vast inventory of delightful vintage chairs. Natural texture continues from dinner to dessert as a delicious cake is even more beautiful served atop Barnwood Square Cake Plateaus. Free spirits, happy hearts, and a bohemian design that never disappoints.

We love weddings at the historic Carnton Plantation, where the grounds are full of rich Southern history and luxe manicured gardens. With outdoor and indoor facilities in Franklin, TN that can host up to 500 people, it makes for dreamy and grand Tennessee weddings! The splendor of the lush arches covered in greenery was the perfect setting for this styled shoot with Weddings by Raina &  John Myers Photography.

Rentals with metallic details and natural wood set the scene to be a magnificent combination of elegant and organic luxe. Chiffon Table Runners in soft blush draped on the Franklin Fruitwood Bar, and signature cocktails were elevated when served in our Hob Knob Glassware and Pure Glassware Champagne Flute.

For dinner, our most-loved Harlin Dining Chairs stunned, especially when seated alongside our Farm Tables. Gold Metal Spheres added modern lines while our Dove Gray Chiffon Table Runner kept the design romantic and lush. Darcy Bone China Charger Plates and Stone Earthen China Dinner Plates were topped with our Blair Gold Accent Plates for a decidedly chic place setting. The tablescape was completed with striking Pure Glassware, gold Austin Flatware, and the new Satin Russet Dinner Napkins in a delightful color that completed this garden fairytale.

Barn weddings have become a staple of Southern living and the recent open house at Allenbrooke Farms in Spring Hill, Tennessee gave us a blank canvas to reimagine rustic farm weddings. The working organic farm features a new climate control 5800 square feet barn, custom built to host the perfect elegant farm wedding.

The venue includes its own farm tables and cross-back chairs and we love how dark wood of these pieces contrasted with the lighter wood of the barn, creating a beautiful space for the four different place settings we created with their team. Our first tablescape was a classic and understated rustic look featuring our Wood Round Charger, Alabaster Earthen China, and Lincoln Flatware for a simple place setting. A gold tablescape took advantage of our most popular rentals, combining our Gold Round Lacquer Charger and Gold Austin Flatware with varied Gold Heirloom China for a rich vintage feel. A more modern place setting saw our Gold Austin Flatware next to the Glass Belmont Charger with Beaded Edge. When topped with Alabaster Earthen China and Heritage Gray Napkin, this look was a preppier take on the rustic setting. The final tablescape was a dramatic burst of gold and pink with rich blooms from The Enchanted Florist. A Gold Charger was topped with our Alabaster Earthen China and our new Kate Salad Dessert Plate in gold polka dots. Our Gold Metal Intersect Cube completed the look as the centerpiece, styled perfectly to add a little glam to this beautiful barn.  Each look was stunning in its own right and showed off the versatility of the venue. We look forward to the many events they will host!

This styled shoot at the Carnton Plantation married sleek modern neutrals and mixed metals with heirloom china and soft lighting for a dramatically romantic design. Starting with the 8ft Grayson Farm Table, we added formal Black Chiavari Chairs and Mercer White Leather Couches for a timeless black-tie blueprint. Mixed metals of copper, gold, and rose gold throughout the tablescape brought this neutral palette to life. Our Rogue Shimmer Charger was the base for the place setting, topped with our Alabaster & Stone Earthen China and Black Pindot Napkins. To complete the look and add a bit of vintage romance, our Heirloom China Bread and Butter Plate added the perfect finishing touch.

The bold centerpiece bouquet by Lauren Marie Atkinson and rose gold stationery from Designs in Paper mixed with the unique brass geo terrarium holders kept this styled shoot from feeling too buttoned-up while adding to the mixed metals theme. We love this chic romantic look for a gala, elopement, or dinner party. It was all captured beautifully by the talented Jenna Henderson.
