Distinctly rustic, Cross back Chairs and Cross Back Bar stools add farmhouse sophistication to your winter event. Pair these with Farm Tables (also discounted!) to continue the rustic appeal, or add them to round tables with luxe linens for a more dressed up design.

Harlin Dining Chairs

Our new and most popular dining chair of the moment is the Harlin Dining Chair – a striking natural wood design with a unique patterned back. Its gorgeous architecture compliments virtually any design, whether at a black-tie ball or backyard gathering. The natural wood looks gorgeous for any winter event!

Our Chiavari Chairs look stunning when dressed up for a luxe affair, but can also look just as stunning in a rustic a barn setting. This traditional and formal design is well-loved and comes in a variety of colors, from fruitwood to ivory to gold.

At the beginning of March we had the pleasure of helping our friends at Dream Events & Catering celebrate the grand opening of their new location, which features a spacious kitchen, offices, craft nook, and tasting room. Southern helped the “Dream Team” stage a tablescape using our new Eiffel Chairs, Midas Gold Velour Benches, and Artisan China. (The gray farm table in the photos is a custom piece that belongs to Dream Events, but is very similar to our new Grayson tables!) The event welcomed several hundred guests, including Nashville’s Mayor, Megan Barry! It was such a fantastic evening to support our fellow vendors in the events industry. Congrats again to Becki Annastas and the Dream Team!

Nfocus Magazine’s annual Alfresco is a lovely event benefitting a great cause, and Southern Events was happy to provide rentals for the soiree. Held at the Westhaven Resident’s Club in Franklin, Alfresco was an unforgettable evening of Southern dining, whiskey and wine pairings, and live music. The annual event benefits Franklin 4 the Cure, which  promotes lifelong learning, leadership, preservation, philanthropy and environmental awareness within Westhaven and the greater Franklin community. The delicious cuisine was provided by The Food Company. Guests dined at our Fruitwood Farm Tables, set with our Austin Gold Flatware and Artisan China. Refreshing cocktails were served in our Recycled Wine Bottle Glassware Collection. All the details came together for a beautiful evening!

Casseroles and turkey and pie, oh my! The holidays are on their way, and with all that extra food to serve to your guests, you might be in need of extra serviceware to make your festivities go smoothly. China, flatware, champange flutes, chaffing dishes, coffee urns, table linens, extra seating – whatever you need, Southern has you covered.

Reserve your items today and email our team at info@southerneventsonline.com.

You read that right, y’all! Southern Events is coming to a TV screen near you with a series of commercials on WZTV Fox 17 News Nashville and The CW Network! We’re really excited to branch out into a (new to us) media platform. We thought it would be fun to share a behind-the-scenes look at how the shoot came together. Our product inventory is vast and versatile, so we decided to create three different commercials featuring three different styles – you get a sneak peek at all three below.  Stay tuned – we’ll be back on the blog later this week with a detailed post of all the products we used and links to our new commercials. Yay!
