The warm hues of autumn create an atmosphere that’s as mysterious as it is inviting. For a fall corporate event hosted by the Wedding Industry Professionals Association (WIPA) at CJ’s Off the Square, these themes came to life in an outdoor setting, proving that the season offers endless inspiration for sophisticated gatherings. This event, titled “An Enchanted Autumnal Affair,” was designed to evoke the season’s beauty while embracing the timeless aesthetic of dark academia. From intimate seating arrangements to a bar serving bespoke cocktails, every detail was curated to create an unforgettable experience.

Crowd-Pleasing Seating

At the heart of the event was a presentation area thoughtfully designed for speakers and announcements. Drawing inspiration from dark academia’s scholarly roots, this space featured rows of Black Willow Chairs. Their sleek lines and deep tones perfectly complemented the moody theme, for example. Similarly, the front of the house consisted of the cozy Regent Black Velvet Sofa and Adeline Dining Chairs. Anchoring the space was a Clear Acrylic Podium, offering a modern, understated touch. Its transparent design allowed it to seamlessly blend with the overall decor while maintaining focus on the speakers.

Autumnal Flavors Meet Sophistication

The bar area was a true highlight of the event, blending the warmth of fall with the sophistication of bespoke cocktails. Guests were treated to a curated drink menu featuring signature beverages, each served in vintage-inspired glassware. Such as our Gatsby Coupe and Monaco Champagne Glasses. Additionally, the Chelsea Bar embraced dark academia aesthetics – deep gold with a marble top, flanked by floral arrangements in deep autumnal hues. As a result, this stylish yet functional space became a hub for conversation and connection, embodying the cozy sophistication of an evening of academics.

Cozy Lounge Areas for Cool Evenings

Lounge areas scattered throughout the event provided guests with inviting spaces to relax and enjoy the evening. Central to these areas were glowing fire pits that not only offered warmth but also created a soft, enchanting ambiance. Surrounding the fire pits were seating arrangements featuring velvet sofas and rattan armchairs. Elevated by a set of gold, mirror-topped accent tables. As a result, each lounge area felt like a private retreat, blending the charm of a quiet library with the magic of a crisp autumn evening.

Simply Elegant Cocktail Areas

The cocktail areas were strategically placed to encourage mingling and interaction among guests while staying true to the event’s aesthetic. The Charleston and Palmer Bistro Tables were decorated with seasonal centerpieces and moody lighting. Providing stylish yet practical surfaces for guests to rest their drinks and plates. Armchairs were also incorporated, offering a more relaxed seating option for those who preferred to linger. In effect, these pieces ensured that each space was as functional as it was visually stunning.

This enchanted autumnal affair demonstrated how the magic of fall and the sophistication of dark academia can create an unforgettable event.

Kacy and Michael’s luxury Nashville wedding was a celebration of style and sophistication, beginning with an elegant rehearsal dinner at the Hermitage Nashville and culminating in a stunning reception at the Nashville Public Library. From the custom champagne tower to the literary-themed reception, every detail was thoughtfully curated to reflect the couple’s unique taste. With the help of Southern Events, their vision came to life through carefully selected rentals that added an extra touch of luxury and charm to their unforgettable celebration.

Sipping in Style

While the pair didn’t host a hotel wedding, the Hermitage Nashville was an idyllic backdrop for their sophisticated rehearsal dinner. The celebration started with an elegant cocktail hour, where guests gathered around our 6-foot Thompson White Bar, elevated with a custom bar menu on a banner. The real star of the show however was the champagne tower. It featured Gatsby Coupe Glasses filled with champagne and edible flowers, delicately stacked atop the Chelsea Marble Top Bar. To keep guests comfortable, tables in blue patterned linens and wood Harlin Dining Chairs were placed nearby.

A Refined Rehearsal Dinner

In addition to fun spring-inspired cocktails, Kacy and Michael’s guests enjoyed a catered dinner in the Veranda. It was a stunning backdrop, with the floor-to-ceiling cathedral windows and a ceiling painted to look like blue cloud-filled skies. Here, a single banquet table was outfitted in ivory linens, contrasted by classic black Chiavari Chairs with white padding. Place settings were simple, featuring White Coupe China, Bradley Flatware, and Pure Glassware. While fresh flowers and bright blue menus provided a romantic splash of color.

Dinner & Dancing Among the Stacks

The couple’s ceremony took place in the lobby of the Nashville Public Library. Afterward, the wedding reception was hosted in the Grand Reading Room. Guests spent an evening in elegance with a dash of scholarly charm, surrounded by rich wood paneling and shelves filled with literary classics. The wedding party sat at a long banquet table and guests at round. The crisp white table linens offered a sleek look in contrast to the cozy wood Cross-Back Chairs. Set against our luxurious Ophelia China and Austin Gold Flatware, soft blue linens were a fun splash of color.

Following dinner, guests were treated to the wedding cake. It was perched beautifully atop a table draped in our soft blue-hued Somerset Linens. A Full Oval Bar was close by, the perfect size to accommodate the newlywed’s large guest count. Meanwhile, a black and white dance floor in combination with the vaulted ceilings offered the illusion of a luxurious ballroom wedding. A custom stage with white podiums lined with florals made for an elegant backdrop, in addition to housing the live band.

Design a Cozy Backyard Cocktail Hour

After your ceremony, transition seamlessly into a cozy backyard cocktail hour. Whether adjacent to a barn wedding venue or in your own backyard, this is the perfect opportunity to relax and celebrate. Start by setting the scene with our whiskey barrel bar and charming vintage-inspired glassware. Choose from an array of beautiful colors to complement your theme. For example, some of the most popular options include the Savoy Green and Amalia Light Pink Goblets.

If you want to provide a unique interactive experience, treat your guests to a build-your-own bouquet station. Using our Market Cart, this is a delightful wedding favor that adds a personal touch to your day. If the weather is looking particularly sunny or breezy, consider renting a tent. Providing shade and relief for your guests will ensure everyone stays comfortable throughout the festivities. Weather permitting, you might also provide cozy lounge areas. Mix and match our lounge furniture to create your own, or feature a large piece like the Estelle Quarter Round Sofa.

Host a Forest Wedding Reception

As the sun begins to set, transition into a forest wedding reception that feels both intimate and enchanting. Feature several of our long wood banquet tables placed end-to-end.

Time-wise, the ceremony is the shortest part of your wedding day. However, it is the most important part! It is where vows are exchanged, and witnessed by your closest family and friends. Whether you’re having a traditional wedding or desire something out of the box, Southern Events Rentals has a variety of stylish wedding ceremony rentals to choose from. Including modern event chairs to vintage rugs and whiskey barrels, our selection gives you the creative freedom to design the day you’ve always dreamed about.

Modern Ceremony Seating

When it comes to selecting seating for your wedding ceremony, the choices you make significantly influence the overall aesthetic of the event. A popular and contemporary option we offer is the Acrylic Armless Ghost Chairs. These transparent chairs, suitable for minimalist or modern vibes, bring a touch of elegance to your ceremony. Further, if you want a more sophisticated look, our collection includes wood furniture options like the elegant Cross-Back or Harlin Dining Chairs, perfect for achieving a classic and timeless ambiance.

In ballroom settings, our Chiavari Chairs stand out as the go-to choice, available in Black, White, Fruitwood, or Gold. These options allow couples to easily match their chosen color palette. For a comfortable and stylish alternative to traditional folding chairs, our classic Resin Folding Chairs are a great option, especially for casual backyard weddings. Additionally, we offer unique designs such as the Black Willow Chairs and Antique White Bentwood Chairs, both featuring distinct backs to add a touch of personality to your seating arrangement.

Wedding Ceremony Aisle Decor

Elevating your ceremony aisle with thoughtful decor is essential to create a captivating atmosphere! For those leaning towards a minimalist look that allows the venue to shine, candles are a timeless choice. In addition, you can pair them with florals or greenery to frame the aisle, casting a warm and inviting glow for the bride’s grand entrance.

For a modern bohemian touch, consider the use of layered vintage rugs. This choice not only adds color but also softens the appearance of a more plain venue. Alternatively, rolled-out carpet in solid white or black offers a moody and alternative look. You can also frame the entrance of the aisle, with Whiskey Barrels or White Wood Columns. Top these with voluminous floral arrangements for a stunning entrance that sets the tone for your celebrations.

Ceremony Backdrop Rentals

While some couples may opt to forgo a backdrop, especially if the venue already has distinctive features. Others may choose to enhance the space with a carefully selected backdrop. Standalone backdrops, such as the Wrought Iron Arch or Fiona Ivory Mantle, present an elegant canvas. Perfect for the addition of greenery or flowers that act as a focal point for your ceremony! For religious ceremonies, options like the Wooden Cross and Chuppah with drapery offer both visual appeal and symbolic significance. If you prefer a more subtle framing of the space, feature White Wood Columns. Topped with large candles or flowers, these offer an elegant touch without overpowering the space.

At Southern Events, our wedding ceremony rentals ensure that you can bring your vision to life on your special day. Explore our offerings and let your ceremony be a true reflection of your love and individual style! Or reach out today to work with a member of our team for assistance planning.

Event planning brings a refreshing shift towards a less-is-more philosophy in 2024! Embracing the essence of minimalism, event designers are choosing quality over quantity. Focusing on elements that make a lasting impact without overwhelming the senses. And Southern Event Rentals is here to help you embrace the trend and champion the art of curated simplicity. Explore our range of in-stock rentals to discover how you can seamlessly incorporate the latest in 2024 event design trends into your upcoming celebrations.

Linens with Whimsy

Gone are the days of elaborate and cluttered centerpieces vying for attention. Instead, 2024 encourages a playful embrace of whimsical linens to set the stage for a vibrant event. Picture bright and wonderful prints that effortlessly contrast with simple serving ware. For example, our Labella Pink and Somerset Blue are subtle designs that give big Bridgerton vibes, perfect for an elegant spring soiree. Meanwhile, Blue Floral and Cerise Kensington is more punchy and perfect for summer! On the other hand, romantic runners allow simple wood furniture to shine and exude softness – we’re loving our Sahara Runners in Indigo, Sage, and Rust. These linens not only add a pop of personality but also eliminate the need for chaotic centerpieces and unnecessary filler, allowing guests room to breathe.

Serving Ware that Elevates

Quality serving ware is a silent yet powerful player in the symphony of event design. It’s a tactile detail that can make or break the overall aesthetic of a table. Clean and simple is an easy choice, especially in contrast to busy printed linens. However, china adorned with timeless prints and subtle pops of color is equally striking and looks stunning atop a bold tablecloth. Likewise, our Cabo China comes in beautiful shades of Blue and Marigold, lending a chic coastal vibe. Meanwhile, Liana in a rich green is a modern twist on a vintage print. Textured chargers and colored glassware further enhance the visual appeal! Try the Rattan White Wash or Scalloped Wood Charger for added texture. Or allude to eras past with our pastel Amalia or Deco Glassware.

Clutter-Free Bars 

Simplicity extends beyond aesthetics to the culinary domain. That is to say, steer away from the temptation to stock every conceivable beverage option. Instead, focus on creating a thoughtful menu featuring signature drinks presented in eye-catching glassware. Such as our contemporary Cybil or sleek Upton Glassware! Instead, for a hassle-free approach, consider batch cocktails or mocktails elegantly displayed in beverage dispensers. This will help streamline serving for a more seamless experience. Moreover if you choose a bar of the appropriate style and size. For example, our expansive Thompson White Bar Collection. Or perhaps the likes of our smaller Collins Black Wood Bar. To match a theme, check out the sophisticated Alice Bar or retro-inspired Chelsea Marble Top Bar.

Home-Like Lounges

Hotel vibes are taking a backseat in 2024! With event designers prioritizing the creation of cozy spaces that mimic the warmth of home. Southern Event Rentals always encourages planners to prioritize functionality over aesthetics in lounge areas. Picture accent tables strategically placed for guests to comfortably rest their drinks, appetizers, and handbags. This deliberate design fosters an intimate and relaxed atmosphere. Encouraging guests to connect and enjoy the event in a more personal setting. If you need inspiration, take a look at our curated collections, such as the Ellison Lounge. Or, mix and match to create a custom seating area featuring sofas (Sloan is a current fave). Along with armchairs and an ottoman or two. Top it off with a rug for a cohesive and refined look.

A commitment to curated simplicity reflects a deeper understanding of the evolving preferences of event-goers. Ensuring that every gathering is a memorable experience! Contact our team today at info@southerneventsonline.com to book an appointment in our showroom. We’d be happy to help incorporate these 2024 event design ideas into your celebration!
