Garden Wedding Goals: A Fresh, Floral Soiree at CJ’s Off the Square

On Trend, Trends and Inspiration

garden wedding nashville

Dreaming of a whimsical outdoor celebration bathed in natural light and framed by lush greenery? Welcome to the ultimate garden wedding inspiration, brought to life by an unforgettable event at CJ’s Off the Square in Franklin, Tennessee. In this blog, we’ll explore every moment of this stunning celebration, from a serene cocktail hour to al fresco dining with fresh floral place settings. Plus, tips for creating your own elegant garden wedding, including curated rental selections from Southern Events.

A Garden-Inspired Cocktail Hour

Set the tone for your garden wedding with a cocktail hour that encourages mingling beneath the trees, flutes of champagne in hand. At CJ’s Off the Square, guests were greeted by the scent of blooming flowers and the charm of Southern hospitality. Dress your cocktail tables in soft botanical linens, like our Blue Floral or Rosie Bloom for a romantic touch. Alternatively, consider the wood Palmer Bistro Table and matching Barstools, which offer a more tailored, upscale look.

To help guests unwind, consider setting up a shaded lounge area using pieces like our bright and airy Charlotte Sofa and Armchairs. Or, create a modern twist with the rich Fern Velvet Sofa and textural rattan Carter Chairs. Framing the space with a vintage rug and accent tables brings cohesion and warmth to this welcoming garden vignette.

Create a Dreamy Al Fresco Dining Experience

There’s nothing quite like dining al fresco—especially at a venue like CJ’s Off the Square. For your reception, round tables encourage a natural, organic flow. Meanwhile, our Harlin Dining Chairs in wood offer a timeless and graceful silhouette. Linens in soft pastel hues or elegant patterns bring a delicate splash of color. Or, you can play with contrast by pairing neutral tablecloths with bold napkins in tones like Cornflower Blue or Sage from our Costa Nova collection. Whether under twinkling string lights or the soft glow of lanterns, this setup blends elegance with the laid-back charm of an outdoor celebration.

Fresh Floral Place Settings to Swoon Over

Complete your garden wedding tablescape with thoughtful details that speak to your theme. Starting with floral-forward place settings. Subtle and graceful, our Emmie Floral China brings a refined touch. Meanwhile, the Liana China offers a bold pop of green that mimics the surrounding foliage. For golden accents, layer in Vera Floral Dessert Plates and Fresno Matte Gold Flatware. Both of these add a hint of luxury without overpowering your setting.

To enhance the whimsy, bring in colored glassware like our Amalia Glassware in Light Pink or Blue. Or the Monaco Cut Crystal glasses for a sophisticated sparkle. Each element adds to the immersive experience of dining in nature, elevating your event without distracting from the outdoor setting.

Contemporary Cottagecore: Soft, Natural, and Minimalist

Romantic prints and natural textures define this dreamy, minimalist style. It should give off a nostalgic feel despite the modern details. For a charmingly understated event:

  • Start with the Aged Oak Dining Table and pair it with Antique White Bentwood Chairs for a graceful dining setup.

Art Deco Delight: Bold and Flashy

Channel an artsy yet contemporary aesthetic when you combine bold, geometric patterns and luxurious textures. Our top picks for an Art Deco-inspired event are:

  • The Chelsea Marble Top Bar paired with Charleston Bistro Tables for a show-stopping cocktail area.
  • Lounge seating featuring the Jacqueline Sofa, Farrah Teal Velvet Chairs, and a Gold Hammered Coffee Table–a beautiful mix of vibrant colors and metallic accents.

Blend sophistication with a touch of rustic charm for an Elegant Country vibe. Here’s how to achieve it:

  • The Aged Oak Dining Table paired with Cross-Back Chairs or a Rustic Bench offers intimate yet versatile dining options.

Add a Pop of Color with Linens

Linens are an essential detail in tying together your cocktail party setup. At Southern Events, we provide a variety of fabrics and colors to match your event’s theme and style. Satin linens in muted shades like Tawny or Stone add an understated elegance. Meanwhile, velvet linens in rich tones like Magnolia, Sea Glass, and Merlot, along with gold-flecked options, bring luxurious texture to your tables. For a natural and cozy vibe, Havana linens in earthy colors like Ecru and Cafe create a warm ambiance. If you’re looking to make a statement, consider our luxe prints, such as Ivory Pearl Shalimar or Gold Furrow. Either of these will add visual interest and sophistication.

Create a Lounge Area for Extra Comfort

While cocktail tables encourage mingling, a lounge area provides a comfortable spot for guests to relax. Incorporating party lounge furniture like sofas, armchairs, and coffee tables adds depth and dimension to your event layout. It’s a great way to break up the space while offering a cozy area for quieter conversations. You can mix-and-match our rentals to create your own look, or keep planning simple when you choose from one of our curated lounge areas!

Our Favorite Rentals for All-White Winter Event Design

On Trend, Southern Events Products, Trends and Inspiration

Winter may not always bring us snow in the South, but that won’t stop us from creating our own winter wonderland! From gleaming white china to soft linens and cozy lounge furniture, an all-white winter event design is the perfect way to embrace the season’s elegance. So let’s dream up a snowy celebration that will leave your guests enchanted! We have the perfect rentals to fit the theme, from chairs to china to linens. Keep following along for oodles of inspiration for your magical snowy event.

Dazzling White China

Dinnerware plays a crucial role in setting the tone for an event, signaling to guests the level of formality and style they’ll experience. At Southern, we have a wide variety of white china options to fit your eye-catching, all-white theme.

If your style is organic and bohemian, our Earthen Alabaster china is a beautiful choice. It leans more casual than some of our other dishware options, but the right linen pairing can certainly elevate it. It has a slightly off-white color and a matte finish—perfectly natural, grounded, and sophisticated.

If you prefer something a bit more regal, try our Darcy china. This dishware choice has a shinier finish and scalloped edges. Due to its beautiful Victorian shape, it fits in nicely with luxurious and formal decor.

Need something in between? Our White Coupe china is perfectly traditional, and it can work in just about any setting! It’s our most versatile china collection.

Always In Charge

After you’ve chosen the china for your event, add a charger! Our Darcy collection includes matching chargers. We also have a stunning, simple porcelain charger that works well with a variety of china patterns. Finally, if you want to add a little extra sparkle to your decor, try our Silver Round Lacquer charger. We know it’s silver, not white, but we won’t tell if you don’t! A little bit of glimmer can never hurt, and it’ll make the white dishes pop.

Elegant White Linens

Next, let’s add some white linens to the mix. For our more bohemian brides and hosts, we recommend a textured Havana linen or a gathered Sahara runner. For our more opulent brides and hosts, we recommend a white satin or velvet. We even have some textured options like pindot, shimmer, or etched linens.

Stylish White Chairs

Your choice of chairs also plays a huge role in your celebration’s overall aesthetic. We offer a few different white chairs, but consider the venue and backdrop when making your selection. Our white Bentwood chairs are stunning, but they give a rustic, antique vibe. Contrast that with our white Chiavari chairs, which look more lavish and sleek. If neither of these jumps out at you, try a ghost chair! Our see-through acrylic options like the Carrigan chair blend right into the background of your space.

If you want to create a spot for lounging and mingling, we have a couple of lovely, on-theme lounge sofas to choose from. Explore our Estelle, Everly, and Sloan styles—all are equally soft and fashionable, so you can’t go wrong!

Accents and Accessories

Here are just a few more rental items and ideas to help you pull off your timeless winter wonderland!

  • Rent a white beverage shelf to display custom cocktails or seasonal treats!
  • Try a champagne tower if you have special toasts planned. This works well at both social and corporate events.
  • Roll out the white carpet for your VIPs! Our white runners make great aisles for weddings. 
  • Experiment with all-white florals like roses, peonies, calla lilies, and orchids. There are many beautiful flowers in this category, so be sure to discuss which ones are in season with your florist.

With all these dreamy white rentals, you’ll have everything you need to create your own winter wonderland—no snow required! From elegant china to cozy lounge furniture, each piece brings a little sparkle to your big day. So go ahead, embrace the magic of all-white winter event design, and let’s make some Southern winter dreams come true! Contact us today to start designing your event.

On Trend, Southern Events Products, Trends and Inspiration

If you’re searching for a stylish and vibrant theme for your next event, look no further than modern retro! Inspired by the late 1970s through the 90s, our modern retro rentals blend rich colors with sleek, functional designs. Whether it’s a cocktail hour or a laid-back lounge, these pieces are perfect for creating a chic throwback vibe that’s totally on trend. Dive into our collection of party furniture rentals to craft a modern retro experience your guests won’t forget!

Groovy Lounge Vibes

Transform your event into a retro haven with our groovy lounge furniture. Imagine guests sinking into plush sofas and metallic armchairs that evoke the stylish simplicity of late-century design. From muted olive tones to bold, vibrant hues, our lounge pieces offer the perfect blend of comfort and cool. Jacqueline and Fern are fan favorites, made of buttery velvet in rich colors. Pair these pieces with an equally bold armchair, like Gloria in mustard. Or, choose a more sleek design like the Farrah Teal Velvet or Gold Bamboo Arm Chair.

Retro-Chic Accents

It’s all about the details when it comes to pulling off a modern retro theme, and our retro-chic accents are just what you need to elevate your event. Think hammered gold or pewter tables that exude understated luxury, or cozy Turkish Rug Ottoman that add warmth and depth to your seating area. And don’t forget the finishing touch—a neutral cowhide rug that ties everything together with its classic texture. These accessories may be subtle, but they pack a punch, turning any space into a polished, retro-inspired scene that feels both nostalgic and fresh.

Tabletop Time Travel

Bring the past to your party with our retro-inspired tabletop rentals that marry form and function in the most stylish way possible. Our collection includes everything from richly colored linens to funky dinner plates that echo the era’s flair for the dramatic. Start with a bold base, like velvet linens in a warm Golden tone or deep Ocean Blue. Or achieve an eclectic vibe when you feature mismatched napkins! To make these shades stand out even more, place them atop solid plates – Alabaster or Onyx Earthen China. And just because you’re going retro doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy a bit of glam! Sprinkle in a few metallics with Gold Rim Glass Chargers or Brushed Copper Flatware.

Retro Cocktail Hour Essentials

No modern retro event is complete without a cocktail hour that’s just as stylish as the rest of your setup. Our retro hour essentials include everything you need to serve drinks with a dash of nostalgia. Picture the gleaming Chelsea Marble Top Bar, where guests can treat themselves to water or lemonade in amber or green water goblets. Alternatively, make a statement with our White 6-Tier Serving Tower. A stylish grab-and-go option when you feature our contemporary Cybil Champagne Glasses.

On-Trend: Wedding Champagne Towers

On Trend, Southern Events Products, Trends and Inspiration

Champagne towers are more than just a cascade of delicious bubbly; they’re a spectacular celebratory statement piece for your wedding reception. Not only do they create a memorable photo opportunity, but they also double as stunning reception decor. At Southern Events, we’re excited to share design tips, including our favorite glassware selections, to help you create a truly unforgettable bubbly display. Or, if you aren’t head over heels for wedding champagne towers, check out a few equally impressive grab-and-go beverage areas.

Toast Worthy Glassware

The key to a stylish champagne tower lies in your choice of glassware. Select a champagne glass rental that complements the aesthetic of your wedding, whether it’s sleek and sophisticated or bold and eclectic. Our Gatsby Coupe Glassware is a modern choice that offers a timeless look yet features a solid base that is perfect for stacking. Matching the glassware to your overall decor ensures a cohesive and elegant presentation.

Eye-Catching Table Linens

Elevate your champagne tower with luxurious table linens that add an extra wow factor. Consider using materials that lend a touch of opulence, like a rich Grape Velvet or romantic Blush Matte Satin. Or opt for vibrant colors and prints to make a bold statement, such as the Four Seasons Floral. The right table linens not only enhance the visual appeal of your champagne display but also tie together the overall look of your reception space.

Pick a Bold Beverage

If champagne isn’t your drink of choice or if you’re looking to add a unique twist to your tower, consider opting for a colorful beverage. Infuse your tower with cocktails or mocktails that match your wedding theme, color palette, or even the season. Whether that means incorporating a bright mixer, colorful flowers, or edible glitter. This alternative not only adds variety but also surprises and delights your guests with unexpected flavors and hues.

Other Popular Drink Displays

For couples considering alternatives to a traditional champagne tower, Southern Events offers creative solutions. Our White 6 Tier Serving Tower provides stability while maintaining the classic tower shape, perfect for those who prefer a more secure display. Alternatively, transform our Market Cart or Bar into an elegant drink station with beverage dispensers, allowing guests to enjoy batch cocktails or refreshing mocktails at their leisure. For a simpler approach, showcase signature cocktails on a Bookcase display to streamline bar service and reduce crowding.

Let’s celebrate one of our greatest hits! The Liana china is still quite new, but it’s been styled in so many creative ways. We love the combination of the green dishes with marigold yellow flowers and fruit accents! 🍐🌼
