Southern Events was so thrilled to be back for the 2018 Heritage Ball at the Eastern Flank Battlefield Park in Franklin, Tennessee. The Heritage Ball plays a proud part in the preservation of historic Downtown Franklin, and is the longest-running annual event in local history! Team Southern has been a proud sponsor for years and this year, our distinct event rentals were designed to create a fresh and fun “tie-dye” extravaganza. Modern party rentals combined with brightly colored details made for an absolutely jaw-dropping event!

Want to see how our rentals have styled the Heritage Ball in the past? Check out our 2015, 2016, and 2017 recaps!

This year’s heritage ball was a colorful event, combining some of our newest rentals in chic hues of blue with bright blooms. In the lounge area, our new Rory Navy Velvet Chair and Farrah Teal Velvet Chairs were set up alongside the new Saylor Navy Velvet Sofa and Arm Chair for a luxe design. Old favorites, like our White Leather Mercer Lounge Collection were gorgeous under gold light fixtures from Bright Events Productions. Lounge areas were brought together with our new Aqua Rugs and our well-loved Cece Side Tables as well as tie-dyed pillows in various shades of blue.

For drinks, several of our Harpeth Bars were set up throughout the large tent including our curved Harpeth Bar – a real show stopper! Custom inserts featuring the invitation’s design were added to the front of each bar – a unique feature that allows full customization to fit your event design. Hundred of glasses from our Pure Glassware Collection were on deck, making sure guests wouldn’t go thirsty!

Guest tables featured our Gold Chiavari Chairs with Ivory Cushions around ivory dressed tables accented by colorful blooms. In addition, our new Acrylic Ghost Armless Chairs made an appearance with circular acrylic topped tables, bringing a modern element and breaking up the more traditional design. Our White Round China was set atop our Glass Chargers with Gold Rim and our Austin Gold Flatware or Sophia Flatware with Cybil Glassware finished the understated look. Guests tables were centered around a black & white dance floor, were guests would boogie down until late into the night.

The vision for this year’s Heritage Ball came together so beautifully – and the bright pops of color added a fun and fresh design to an event that celebrates our great Franklin traditions. From the bright blues and vibrant aquas, this year’s Ball was truly a sight to be seen.

Thanks to Phindy Studios for photographing all the fabulous details.

Clean lines, curves, and unique materials are some of the defining factors for Mid-Century Modern Inspired event design. At your next charity event, company party, wedding, or gala Southern Events Mid-Century Modern party rentals will certainly wow!

Modern romance was the vision for our inspiration style shoot at the breathtaking Estate at Cherokee Dock in Nashville, TN. The shoot featured a dreamy pink, white and gold color palette as ee partnered with the wedding planning team from It Takes Two. Pairing romantic vintage rentals with sleek, modern rentals to create this look, we’re in love with the results!

White draping under a gorgeous magnolia tree on the estate provided the perfect canvas for a romantic outdoor affair. For our garden dining area, we paired vintage inspired Adeline Dining Chairs with Ivory Luxe Linens for texture and romantic style. Our table setting included our elegant Gatsby Champagne Coupe, Madison Glassware, and charming Darcy China combined with metallic modern accents. Our gold Austin Flatware, Vera Floral Gold Accent Dessert Plate, and Medallion Gold Glass Charger provided just enough sparkle while a beautiful floral centerpiece by Petals and Fields tied everything together.

For the ceremony, Acrylic Ghost Chairs provided an unexpected touch of modern style to the ceremony, completing the marriage modern and romantic. A few of our favorite vintage pieces, including our Vintage Harper Couch and Leona Coffee Table, were used to create intimate lounge area while our Acrylic Rectangle Containers tied back to the other modern touches.

The fabulous cake by Lillian Lane Bakery was displayed on an elegant White Chiffon Runner over our Isabel Oval Table, and surrounded the gorgeous confection with candlelight, set off in our Davis Glass Cylinders. So much to love!

Southern Events had the best time helping the Nashville Cavaliers celebrate puppy love at their Valentine’s Day Party… aka the CALentine’s PAWty! We were pleased as punch to work with the wonderful Fete Nashville and Enchanted Florist, providing some of our sweetest rentals for the adorable affair.

White wash Farm Bistro Tables were on display and used to show delectable desserts for both canines and their humans. Our Hob Knob Glassware was a delightfully whimsical touch for the puppies’ people to sip and mingle, while darling dogs were treated to the yummiest treats! Our Children’s Farm Tables and Children’s Cross Back Chairs paired perfectly together and were just the right height for the sweet pups to enjoy a delicious snack. The fruitwood from the tables and natural wood from the chairs were a perfect accent and looked even more stunning with florals from Enchanted Florist. And because everyone loves a lounge area, the Cavaliers were treated to one as well with our Black & White Stripe Cabana Bench and the always gorgeous White Trellis Side Table.

So many cute pups, such little time! Thanks so much to Mandy Whitley Photography for these lovely photos.
