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.

The Collins Black Wood bar is oh-so-sleek and wildly sophisticated. It features bold geometric patterns, creating a striking focal point that feels both modern and timeless.

The Alice bar has a light wood tone—a stark contrast to the Collins bar. Its coloring and intricate lattice detail give it an airy and inviting look. We particularly enjoy using Alice in outdoor settings like gardens and meadows, though it can be a beautiful indoor piece too. It works year-round, but spring is when it truly shines.

Style it with: Classic glass beverage jar, rattan stand, Pure glassware, whimsical pastel florals

Perfect for: Garden parties, or bohemian-style celebrations, outdoor weddings, relaxed family reunions, baby showers

Thompson Full Oval White Bar

If you’re looking to make a statement, the Thompson Full Oval White bar is your go-to centerpiece! Its modular design allows you to customize the size to fit your space perfectly, from intimate settings to large, open venues. With all sections combined, it becomes one of our largest bars, ideal for grand outdoor spaces and high-ceilinged indoor venues.

The gold finish adds warmth and a touch of glamor, and for a show-stopping moment, you can even build a champagne tower on top to make it a true eye-catcher.

Style it with: Gatsby coupe, Avalon coffee table, gold Chiavari chair

Whiskey Barrel Bar

The Whiskey Barrel bar adds rustic charm with its authentic, repurposed barrel design. Made from sturdy wood, it brings a natural, Southern flair to any event.

Winter may not always bring us snow in the South, but that won’t stop us from creating our own winter wonderland! From gleaming white china to soft linens and cozy lounge furniture, an all-white winter event design is the perfect way to embrace the season’s elegance. So let’s dream up a snowy celebration that will leave your guests enchanted! We have the perfect rentals to fit the theme, from chairs to china to linens. Keep following along for oodles of inspiration for your magical snowy event.

Dazzling White China

Dinnerware plays a crucial role in setting the tone for an event, signaling to guests the level of formality and style they’ll experience. At Southern, we have a wide variety of white china options to fit your eye-catching, all-white theme.

If your style is organic and bohemian, our Earthen Alabaster china is a beautiful choice. It leans more casual than some of our other dishware options, but the right linen pairing can certainly elevate it. It has a slightly off-white color and a matte finish—perfectly natural, grounded, and sophisticated.

If you prefer something a bit more regal, try our Darcy china. This dishware choice has a shinier finish and scalloped edges. Due to its beautiful Victorian shape, it fits in nicely with luxurious and formal decor.

Need something in between? Our White Coupe china is perfectly traditional, and it can work in just about any setting! It’s our most versatile china collection.

Always In Charge

After you’ve chosen the china for your event, add a charger! Our Darcy collection includes matching chargers. We also have a stunning, simple porcelain charger that works well with a variety of china patterns. Finally, if you want to add a little extra sparkle to your decor, try our Silver Round Lacquer charger. We know it’s silver, not white, but we won’t tell if you don’t! A little bit of glimmer can never hurt, and it’ll make the white dishes pop.

Elegant White Linens

Next, let’s add some white linens to the mix. For our more bohemian brides and hosts, we recommend a textured Havana linen or a gathered Sahara runner. For our more opulent brides and hosts, we recommend a white satin or velvet. We even have some textured options like pindot, shimmer, or etched linens.

Stylish White Chairs

Your choice of chairs also plays a huge role in your celebration’s overall aesthetic. We offer a few different white chairs, but consider the venue and backdrop when making your selection. Our white Bentwood chairs are stunning, but they give a rustic, antique vibe. Contrast that with our white Chiavari chairs, which look more lavish and sleek. If neither of these jumps out at you, try a ghost chair! Our see-through acrylic options like the Carrigan chair blend right into the background of your space.

If you want to create a spot for lounging and mingling, we have a couple of lovely, on-theme lounge sofas to choose from. Explore our Estelle, Everly, and Sloan styles—all are equally soft and fashionable, so you can’t go wrong!

Accents and Accessories

Here are just a few more rental items and ideas to help you pull off your timeless winter wonderland!

• Rent a white beverage shelf to display custom cocktails or seasonal treats!
• Try a champagne tower if you have special toasts planned. This works well at both social and corporate events.
• Roll out the white carpet for your VIPs! Our white runners make great aisles for weddings. 
• Experiment with all-white florals like roses, peonies, calla lilies, and orchids. There are many beautiful flowers in this category, so be sure to discuss which ones are in season with your florist.

With all these dreamy white rentals, you’ll have everything you need to create your own winter wonderland—no snow required! From elegant china to cozy lounge furniture, each piece brings a little sparkle to your big day. So go ahead, embrace the magic of all-white winter event design, and let’s make some Southern winter dreams come true! Contact us today to start designing your event.

Alternatively, velvet lounges like the Henley Sofa bring a touch of warmth and luxury to any outdoor cold-weather event, creating an inviting atmosphere for guests to settle in and relax. The soft fabric not only looks elegant but also adds a layer of comfort that’s perfect for chilly evenings. Add a rug, side tables, throw pillows, and a few comfy blankets!

Seating That Says “Welcome Home”

Seating is a key element of any indoor wedding, often occupying a significant portion of the space. The right chairs do more than provide comfort—they help set the mood for your entire ceremony. Begin by selecting seating that blends elegance with a welcoming feel. Our Harlin and Adeline Dining Chairs offer a sense of homeliness, making your celebration feel like an extension of your living room. For those who prefer traditional elegance, our Cross-Back Chairs bring timeless appeal to any setting. Meanwhile, our Antique White Bentwood Chairs add a classic romantic touch. Alternatively, provide a dramatic, moody flair that’s sure to captivate your guests with the Black Willow Chairs.

Aisle Decor That Steals the Show

Transform your aisle into a picturesque pathway with indoor wedding decorations that add warmth and visual interest. Layered vintage rugs in subtle hues can soften the look of cold concrete or hardwood floors to create a plush and inviting walkway. Alternatively, keep the aisle clear and use a rug to frame the altar area, making it the focal point of your ceremony. Enhance the entrance to your aisle with whiskey barrels adorned with large floral arrangements that cascade elegantly onto the floor. For a backdrop, a wooden cross or our white Fiona Mantle can set a charming scene. And if your ceremony is on the longer side, provide a cozy spot for the bride and groom to relax. Perhaps a pair of velvet armchairs, such as the Clover Velvet in rich emerald or the Saylor Navy Velvet.

Details that Wow

The details are what make your indoor ceremony truly memorable. Consider adding a touch of luxury with a champagne display! A grab-and-go station set up with one of our stylish bookshelves and elegant glassware will leave your guests impressed and talking long after the event. For a seasonal twist, you might also set up a coffee or cocoa station featuring a market cart. A little something that encourages guests to mingle while they wait for the ceremony to start. And don’t forget the fun factor—our nostalgic popcorn machine can serve up gourmet popcorn. Consider festive flavors like white chocolate and peppermint flakes or mixed with red and green M&Ms.

With these thoughtful touches, you can create a warm and intimate indoor wedding ceremony that’s both elegant and cozy. At Southern Events, we’re here to help you bring your vision to life with our extensive range of rentals and design guidance. Reach out today and let us assist you in making your indoor wedding ceremony a real treat!

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.
