If you’ve been dreaming of an event that is equal parts moody and elegant, then you won’t want to overlook the boho luxe style. Featuring beautifully contrasting colors and geometric details. Keep reading for some boho luxe inspiration from a recent wedding we participated in at Saddlewood Farms in Tennessee.

Hosted on the grass lawn, the wedding ceremony was a classic bohemian affair with luxe decor. Guests were seated in our simple White Folding Chairs. While the aisle was lined with Cowhide Rugs and arrangements featuring dried palms and fresh roses. For a backdrop, the two opted for a solid black Triangle Wedding Arbor. It was the perfect choice to ensure that the two stood out against the lush forest.

Afterward, they retired to the large reception bar, where string lights dripped from the ceiling and walls. The space was practically glowing, with the most beautiful soft light. Guests were immediately greeted by our white Harpeth Curved Bar, making it approachable from any side. For a one-of-a-kind look, don’t forget to opt for a custom bar sign!

The dinner tables were outfitted in slick black linens with short floral centerpieces that lent a fun touch of texture. They were set with our Classic White Square China, Hammered Flatware, and Davis glassware. For linens, they opted for our stunning Azalea Poly, a moody yet feminine color. The couple’s sweetheart table was equally luxe, featuring our Fruitwood Farm Table with Ghost Acrylic Armless Chairs. Davis Glass Cylinders sat on the floor with pillar candles, making it especially romantic.

Of course, what is a wedding without designated areas for mingling? Flanking the bar was our sleek white Mercer Lounge. It was topped with matching florals and soft pillows – to make it extra cozy! To ensure guests could make full use of the lush event space, other small lounges sat just outside the barn. Including small accent tables, where people could set their food and drinks. They were decorated with pure black linens that manicured lawn.

Special shoutout to Brasspenny Photography for sharing the images from this pair’s day with us!

Get inspired for your own intimate backyard wedding in Nashville, when you check out the details from this timeless event.

The pair hosted their small ceremony behind the home on a stone patio. For a backdrop, they featured a simple wooden arbor decorated with fresh flowers. Seating consisted of our elegant wood Harlin Dining Chairs with white cushions.

After they exchanged vows, they retired to a tent situated in the front yard. It was the perfect setup for the warm weather! Their layout consisted of both round and banquet dinner tables, outfitted in classic white linens. The centerpieces consisted of our Davis Glass Cylinders, paired with candles and greenery. As well as a sprinkling of votive candles.

To complement their gold and white wedding palette, we created place settings starring our Gold Medallion Glass Chargers. Along with our Austin Gold Flatware, Pure Glassware, and Kennedy White Linens. On their designated dessert table, a beautiful wedding cake stood out on our Gold Windsor Cake Stand.

The entrance to an event is a guest’s first impression of what’s to come! It will set the tone for the remainder of the event, and so it’s important to start things off on the right foot. Today, we’re sharing some of our in-stock rentals that can be used to create a grand event entrance.

Carpeted Entrance

Want to wow your guests? A carpeted entrance to your event is a sure way to do that. A red carpet is an easy way to lend a hint of old Hollywood glamour – regardless of the formality of the event! It will lend to the overall look and experience, making guests feel as though they are special and creating excitement for what lies in store. Of course, your carpet doesn’t have to be red! Feel free to feature your event or company colors like the grand event entrance done in blue and white below.

Stanchion & Rope

Along with a grand carpet entrance, you’ll want to rent stanchion and rope. Our Chrome Stanchions are a timeless addition that will help you maintain an orderly entrance. It is especially great for events that will require attendees to queue up or that are ticketed.  You will also be able to choose between our Black Velour Rope and Red Velour Rope, depending on the theme or color palette featured at your event.

Vinyl Appliques

When you have a thoughtful theme or event design, vinyl appliques on your event flooring can be a unique way to welcome guests.  Custom appliques can be added to our Black, White or Natural dance floors – doubling as entrance flooring- as part of your grand event entrance. Here we replicated the florals from the event invitation and linen pattern onto floor appliques. Also, consider showing off your new monogram to welcome wedding guests or brand at a product launch.

Neutral color palettes have been popular as they offer a stylish yet timeless look. However, there are both cool and warm neutral colors, which will lend a completely different vibe to an event. Today, we’re doling out some inspiration featuring our natural-neutral wedding rentals! These warm-toned pieces will lend a modern yet organic theme to your event.

Natural-Neutral Place Settings

One of our favorite ways to feature natural neutrals is via an elegant tablescape. We carry a large variety of warm-toned serving ware for creating a cohesive and memorable layout. For starters, consider our Fruitwood Farm Table for the perfect warm-toned base. Alternatively, a table with light-colored linen will add a brighter base.

These elegant tables are warm and feature pink for a fun feminine flair. Both are accented with metallic gold accents, for a wonderful luxe look! We always recommend a touch of texture. For instance, using neutral velvet table linens or a wood tabletop with a table runner.

Worried that your tablescape will be overwhelmingly warm-toned? Add in a touch of cool-toned neutrals. These tables are beautifully balanced thanks to silver accents. Our Earthen Onyx or Earthen Stone China always pairs well with a warm-toned charger or napkins. Or feature silver flatware atop a neutral table or table linens.

Linens

Speaking of linens, let’s cover a few of our favorites. First up is our stunning Golden Velvet Linens. With a buttery texture, this piece will make a gorgeous base for a luxe tablescape. It pairs well with cream, white or brown. Next up is Kennedy Natural, with a beautiful woven texture. It will lend a touch of texture to a table and is a subtle and elegant color. Finally, there is our Ivory Sahara Runner. Place this runner atop our Fruitwood Farm table for a slightly more casual vibe.

Neutral Lounge Furniture

What’s a social event without a cute and cozy lounge area? We carry a range of comfortable, natural neutral furniture. First up is our Tessa Tufted Beige Linen Loveseat, which is a beautiful piece for a sweetheart table, as well as smaller lounge areas. Alternatively, our Bennett Leather Sofa is a rich brown color and the perfect size for a larger event. Lastly, be sure to check out one of the newest additions to our catalog, the Everly sofa! This cream-colored piece features an arched silhouette, pad feet, a camelback, and carved arms, plus a distressed wood frame.

At any event, interactive elements are a must-have! It will help get guests out of their seats and socializing. Plus it will make your event more visually appealing since it doubles as a decoration. Take a look at some of our favorite rentals that can be used to create interactive party displays, from delicious donut walls to fun bubbly bars and classy carts!

Market Cart

A two-wheel cart with an awning, this charming display prop is so versatile! It can be used to display a small food selection or function as a drink station. In our personal opinion, it would make for a darling grazing station, packed with cold cuts and cheese on our vintage-inspired silver trays. You’re welcome to decorate our Market Cart to your heart’s desire, with fresh flowers, banners, or balloons!

Shelving

Despite its simple appearance, our Avenue Barback Shelf is a staple at events that feature self-serve drink stations. It’s a luxe gold metallic color and features brown wood veneer shelves. You can easily recreate this luxe bubbly bar when you rent a variety of our gorgeous modern glassware! Our current favorites include Cybil and Pure Glassware.

Ticket Booth

Although most events now offer tickets online, a classic booth is a fun way to welcome guests to your event! Our sturdy booth features a solid wood top and is a solid white color that will work any color palette. It also features a decal sign area so that you can easily personalize it to compliment the theme of your event.

Donut Wall

Donut walls are far from a past fad. In fact, we’re predicting that these delicious displays will stick around for a while – because who doesn’t love a donut? Our wall is freestanding, features a beautiful dark stain, and has 48 pegs, which can hold 2-3 donuts each. The only downside is that it doesn’t come with the donuts!

Functional and stylish rentals, Southern Events offers a range of area rugs for events & weddings. Although simple, a beautiful decorative rug will lend to an all-around cohesive event space. Whether they are used to line an aisleway or placed beneath the featured furniture. You go to major lengths to decorate and furnish the space in a way that aligns with your event, and the floor is the foundation! Take a look at our in-stock area rugs and how you can feature one or several at your upcoming Nashville event.

Tie it All Together

Area rugs are more than just decoration. Take for example the use of layered rugs as an aisle runner. Our Brown & White Cowhide Rug and Dark Brown Cowhide Rug are perfect for a trendy urban desert wedding ceremony. Meanwhile, our vintage-inspired rugs look stunning for a cozy, boho-themed affair. Feel free to layer them up or use one standalone alongside a ceremony backdrop.

Frame a Space

Rugs assist in creating a frame in which to place the furniture. A trick that is especially useful for social areas, like a cocktail lounge. Consider using a rug to lead guests from the bar to a lounge area. It will help prevent your guests from huddling around the bar and encourage them to sit down, get comfortable, and stay for a while. See how our clients have used a range of area rugs for events & weddings, including our Navy and Aqua Rugs.

A Cohesive Design

Similar to cocktail lounges, rugs can be placed beneath standalone furniture to help create a more cohesive aesthetic. Without one, it can feel as though your furniture may float away! A rug can also help tie different areas together that would otherwise look out of place. Featured below, our vintage Blue-Red Rugs were used to accent a whiskey-barrel bar and create a charming buffet area. And to create a stylish outdoor cocktail area, it was placed beneath our Loren Gold Bistro Table.

Want something that provides more stability than a rug? Our Dura-Trac Flooring is a great option! It is made of high-quality materials and can be customized to fit any size you may need. Plus it is a safe, slip-resistant surface that can be used over a variety of terrains. Plus, you can still place one or more of our trendy area rugs on top to create a cozy atmosphere.

If you have an upcoming event and are looking to create a unique space with area rugs we’d love to chat with you! Send us a message at info@southerneventsonline.com for help or additional event inspiration!

Earth tone colors are warm, reassuring, and luxurious – making them a beautiful choice for a mature yet cozy party or event! They are especially common in palettes for neutral and bohemian-themed events, now peaking in popularity due to a recent appreciation for minimalistic event designs. Take a look at some of our trendy earth-tone party rentals to create a timeless look at your next Nashville event!

Velvet Linens

Linens amplify the look of any tablescape, but velvet adds a certain elegance that just can’t be beaten. And one that pairs perfectly with the vibe of earth tones. Soft in texture and rich in color, we offer velvet linens in a wide range of warm, earth-inspired colors.

Napkins

Every place setting needs a napkin! Below you’ll see a bright neutral design featuring our Driftwood Velvet napkins, paired with a Havana Cafe Velvet runner. For a warmer, moody look, Spice Velvet napkins are a stark contrast next to a classic black runner.

As you can see, velvet linens stand out in any setting, indoor and out. Our Light Pink and Driftwood Velvet linens look stunning for a more modern event design.

Amber Goblets

Clear glassware is an easy choice, but you won’t want to overlook our Amber Goblets. Use these stunning pieces in conjunction with other colored serving ware, or as the sole colored rental on a warm, neutral tablescape. If you are opting for a design that features minimal textures, then these glasses will be a welcome touch, with their antique-inspired design.

Chargers

Chargers lend to the overall aesthetic of a table, creating a more finished look. And we carry a charger for every earth-tone event, color and style! For a warm gold design, our Medallion Gold Glass Charger is a classic thanks to the intricate rim. It also pairs beautifully with our Austin Gold Flatware.

For a rustic-inspired event or boho-themed event, our Scalloped Wood Charger is a must. The simple but unique edging will make every single plate pop against the table!

Lastly, is our timeless Copper Glass Charger. This elegant piece features clear glass at the center and a contemporary copper rim. We love this earth-tone party rental for a modern neutral-themed event, such as a wedding or gala.

Our Gloria Velvet Arm Chair and matching ottoman make for a stunning warm-toned seating area. Feature these pieces together, or separately. And be sure to pair them with an accent table, such as our Rhodes Coffee or Side tables. The gold metallic legs will complement any of our earth-tone party rentals.

Two entirely different yet equally beautiful styles, Bohemian and Diva elements have been combined to create a new look: Boho Diva! It’s the perfect balance of chic, contemporary, and moody details, for a look that is relaxed, but bold and unique! Get inspired for your upcoming event with this bold boho diva event style we created at Franklin wedding venue Southall Meadows featuring our stylish rentals.

Bold & Moody

Our first tablescape is moody but romantic, with a black, rust, and pink color palette. Situated on top of our Fruitwood Farm Table is a deep Magnolia Green Runner. To complement the warm wood of the table we opted for our Medallion Gold Glass Charger and Onyx Dinner Plate, paired with Gold Austin Flatware.

Matching the elegant serving ware, we featured our Pure and Audrey Gold Rimmed Glassware.  To spice the look up a little, our beautifully textured, vintage-inspired Amber Goblets. Gold Chiavari Chairs were an easy choice for seating, with their dainty but luxe look.

Clean & Bright

Should you prefer a neutral palette, our second tablescape combines classic colors in an elegant and striking way. Also atop our Fruitwood Farm Table, is a Driftwood Table Runner and Yarrow Velvet Napkins. This design features silver metallic details, which complement the bright white centerpieces and crisp glassware. Notice our Silver Rimmed Glass Charger and Onyx Dinner Plate. Black is a key accent that is common with a Boho Diva inspired look.

Aiming for a slightly quirky but still elegant look, we carefully selected a few of our favorite contemporary rentals. Including our Como Flatware and gorgeous Cybil Glassware. And of course, our always popular Acrylic Ghost Armless Chairs – also available with arms.

Glam Cocktail Tables

Cocktail tables, spread throughout an event space, make for the perfect opportunity to feature glam linens. Our Sequin tablecloths, shown in Gold, are available in 5 gorgeous colors. Or opt for one of our etched velvet linens, for a less over-the-top but equally elegant look.
