Gold & Ivory Tablescapes

Matching the theme, the dinner tables were created using gold and ivory serving ware.

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!

With virtual options becoming more normalized for corporate meetings & summits – but attendees still wanting in-person experiences, we expect to see more and more hybrid meeting options.  Hybrid corporate summits bring together attendees both in person as well as virtual, making for unique opportunities and challenges when setting the stage and choosing your rentals. After all, they’re still meant to inform and inspire – and impress! To help you host a memorable corporate event for our new normal, check out our essential event rentals that are as functional as they are stylish. Plus! Be sure to grab a copy of our Event Essentials Guide with tips and tricks.

Camera-Ready Stage Set-Ups

It’s important to create the right focal point for your event! A stage that is comfortable, stylish, and on-brand as well as virtually interesting is key.  From unique stage seating to out-of-the-box chairs, Southern Events Party Rental Company offers quite the selection to choose from. Our Bennett and Henley Sofas, Eiffel Chairs, Adeline Chairs, Rory Chairs, and Farrah Chairs offer stylish, unique, and comfortable seating for the speakers as they sit on the stage. Accent tables make for a cozy and complete look (as well as a perch for speaker notes or water). Be sure to also consider your stage backdrops – they help frame the space and create a uniform look for virtual users. We love our Boxwood Walls and Pipe & Drape for stage backdrops.

Stylish Lecterns

If you are hosting a more formal speaker or handing out awards, then you will need a lectern. Helpful for keeping your guests front and center, as well as amplifying their voice, they are a staple whether or not you have staging. It will also create a more overall organized event layout! In addition to providing a focal point for in-person guests, it will make live streaming easier for the camera crew as there is an obvious mark for people to speak from on stage. Our Acrylic Lectern is a unique contemporary (and customizable with a cling) choice, while Black Metal is a classic.

Upgrade Your Seating for In-Person Socializing

Want to uplevel your event seating? Make the space extra special for in-person attendees and opt for fun contemporary pieces, like our Acrylic Chairs. Available in a variety of styles, they make for a unique addition to any table. You’ll also want cozy lounge and bistro areas. Whether they are used for breakoff sessions or breaks between speakers where people can spread out. Check out our Mercer Collection (with built-in charging ports) or Pearce Furniture. Or opt for one or two of our curated lounge packages, complete with sofas, chairs, rugs, and accent tables.

Show Off Your Brand

Because corporate summits exist to instill pride and cast vision, weaving on-brand materials and signage throughout the event is typically a strong move in the right direction. You can do this through our customizable Harpeth Bar. As well as custom pillows or colorful clings placed on the back of seating. Or opt for a memorable, photo-worthy entryway, made using our elegant Boxwood Walls.

With beautiful weather and stunning foliage, there’s no better time to host an outdoor wedding than the fall. Keeping reading to get inspired by fall garden weddings at CJ’s Off the Square. This outdoor wedding venue in Franklin, Tennesse is a beauty, where our team has enjoyed several opportunities to help couples design the fall wedding of their dreams. From which we’ve compiled some of our favorite color palettes and designs, featuring our modern event rentals.

Blush & Brown

A subtle palette, blush and brown are a trendy color palette for the fall that perfectly complements the season. It’s especially popular amongst brides who want a bohemian theme. While pink is feminine, brown (and white) will lend a timeless look. With this simple palette, you’ll want to add dimension via texture. Like how the team at Petal & Fields decorated our Metal Ceremony Ring with pampas grass. For the reception and bistro tables, feature a mix of linens like our Light Pink Etched Velvet and Bloom Chiffon Runner. To keep the look modern, feature fun modern furniture, such as our Mid Century White Barstools.

Timeless Neutrals

If your goal is a timeless fall wedding, then you can’t go wrong with neutrals. Colors like white, ivory, and brown are beautiful, plus they’ll complement the seasonal foliage. This fall wedding featured a range of warm neutral shades, that lent a timeless rustic look. For this design, we recommend opting for detailed serving ware, so that your tables aren’t too plain. Consider the following tablescape with vintage inspiration, created using our Hob Nob Glassware, White Round China, and Belmont Chargers. To complement this table, we selected our elegant Cross-Back Chairs. Just don’t forget outdoor seating that will allow your guests to fully enjoy the outdoors, like our Sand Sutton Collection!

Cool Blue Hues

A unique color palette for the fall, cool blue hues are often used for winter. But, they can provide some fun contrast next to the warm-toned foliage! The key to pulling off this palette is making sure that you incorporate some ivory or brown, versus just white. For example, check out this icy tablescape featuring our Alabaster China, London Fog Velvet Linens, White Chiffon Runners, and Bentwood Antique Chairs. The same applies to the lounge are we designed for the outdoor cocktail hour. Our Henley Grey Velvet Tufted Sofa is paired with Adeline Dining Chairs and Echo Silver Mirror Side Tables.

Apples

It is traditional to begin the meal on the first night with slices of apple dipped in honey. Before eating the apple, we make the ha’eitz blessing and then say, “May it be Your will to renew for us a good and sweet year.” This tablescape features a runner of lush greenery, wheat, artichokes, and apples to create an abundant centerpiece. If you want to host your dinner celebration outside, be sure to check out our rustic furniture, like the Grayson Farm Table and elegant Cross-back Chairs.

Pears & Pomegranates

Aside from apples, pears are commonly used in sweet desserts. But, for another Rosh Hashanah table idea, they can also be used to decorate. As with pomegranates! Many eat pomegranates, giving voice to a wish that “our merits be many like the seeds of the pomegranate.” These fruits are not eaten on the second night of the holiday. So instead, opt for a “new fruit” or a fruit that has not been eaten since it was last in-season.

The tablescape below features our Cameron Flatware, Stemless and Madison Glassware, Russet Satin Napkins and London Fog Velvet Linens – for a neutral but elegant look!
