We’re back with more gorgeous images from our boho-glam style shoot at Pine Halls, with two sweet tablescapes! (If you missed our first post featuring the luxe outdoor lounge and ceremony scenes, you can find it here.)

We used the reception scene to play with another hot trend: purple! We’re getting a lot of requests for it this season, and we can see why! Deep, romantic shades of plum, amethyst, eggplant, lavender, and lilac evoke elegance. Both looks feature our Fruitwood Farm Table, with our Bessie Blush and Ivory Lace Runners.

When Jen and Chris Creed Photographers approached us for a spring style shoot at Pine Halls, we knew the enchanted woodland setting was the perfect place to play with a gorgeous new trend: boho-glam. It’s rustic with touches of sparkle, woodsy yet luxe. We teamed up with the Creeds, Bright Event Productions, and Enchanted Florist to create a fairy-tale wedding in the woods and it turned out beautifully!

This look feels opulent and unique, yet it’s easily attainable for your events. Everything you see is available for rent through Southern, or through our partner vendors (like those stunning pendant lights from Bright!) With dozens of options in our inventory, we can make this look unique and versatile for your personal taste.

This luxe lounge scene, featuring our Prissy Loveseat and Armchairs and Pearly Side Chair, makes a romantic vignette for the Bride and Groom to enjoy a private moment together.

The ceremony scene is a mix of glam features: from the Gold Chiavari Chairs, to the Roundabout Wrought Iron Candelabras, and Sequined Accent Pillows; to boho touches: the textured florals to the Lace Chair Ties (in Ivory, Blush, and Taupe). We paired our White Washed Whiskey Barrel, Windsor Gold Cake Plateau, and Bessie Lace Table Runners in a stunning and versatile altar scene that can easily be repurposed for a cake display in a reception setting!

It’s been a long winter, y’all. There’s no better way to welcome the warm weather than with a chic spring or summer soiree! We’ve paired our new Sutton Furniture and Market Umbrellas with our Silver Drum-Shaped Side Tables and a few White Square Lanterns for a relaxed evening party! Our new Tin Lizzy Bar is the perfect space to mix drinks, especially set with our Midtown Beverage Tubs. Add our Aruba Triple Stitch Pintuck linens and some bright summery florals, and you’ve set the scene for guests to enjoy the summer breeze, complete with refreshing cocktails and canapes!

If you’re looking for style that says relaxed luxury, perhaps you might enjoy a fresh take on a Mediterranean style. The look is characterized by a rich color palette blue, gold, and white, with a splash of persimmon. We love using our White-Washed Farm Tables as a base for this style – it has that old-world feel that perfectly suits a Mediterranean style. The final look is so refreshing, it’ll make you feel like you’ve escaped to a seaside resort in Greece!

Earthy and elegant, Marsala is the well-chosen Pantone Color for 2015 and we’re super inspired to incorporate it into this year’s event designs!

We’re already seeing it on runways, clothing racks and home furniture, but what about down the aisle or adorning reception tables? We have high hopes for this wine-inspired reddish tone! Marsala has many merits: it’s universally flattering for all skin tones and genders; it plays well with others, from pastels to jewel tones; and it can go casual or opulent, whether you choose a matte or sheen finish.

Your chosen details don’t have to be Pantone-perfect; a Marsala-inspired deep earthy red is always an elegant choice for your next event. We’ve illustrated two event designs inspired by Marsala using our inventory to inspire you today! Enjoy!
