We are always so excited to be a part of A Very Marry Occasion, where Nashville’s top wedding vendors come together for a truly stunning style showcase. The theme was Organic Luxe and CJ’s Off the Square was the perfect venue – the outdoor garden space lends itself perfectly to being both organic and luxe with ease! Here’s how we made it all happen:

Cross-back Chairs in natural wood were paired with the Grayson Farm Tables for a stunning dining design. To add more luxe, our Hob Nob Glassware collection was on full display with both the water goblet and the wine glass giving a vintage vibe without being too whimsical. All this combined with our Abby Fine Silver flatware and a gorgeous Mediterranean Satin Linen made for a stunning styled tablescape, only to be enhanced even more by the stunning floral centerpieces by Enchanted Florist – swoon!

To mix up the seating arrangements, our 65″ Round Farm Table was incorporated into the floor plan, opposite of the sweetheart table. Speaking of the sweetheart table, a mini White-Wash Farm Table was used with our Tessa Tufted Loveseat – the perfect way for a bride and groom to enjoy their first married meal together. Our feminine Darcy Bone China next to the Hob Knob glassware and Gatsby Champagne Coupe were the perfect touches to the tablescape, adding more elegance to an already luxe design.

In the garden area, we incorporated the Farm Style Bistro Tables for easy but stylish mingling. We love when couples opt to keep the decor all in the family – the various farm style tables are beautiful together, yet purposefully unique enough to not look too uniform.

Also in the garden, we made sure to provide comfortable outdoor seating by bringing in our Sutton Furniture Collection. The Mediterranean color was the perfect way to tie in those blue linens on the dining table, keeping every part of the decor and theme beautifully cohesive. The Enchanted Florist helped elevate our rentals again by placing thoughtful low arrangements on the furniture, bringing out the colors of the gorgeous garden and the Organic Luxe theme itself.

Thank you so much to Phindy Studios for the photos! It was a very marry occasion, indeed.

Thank you to all the vendors involved! We love working with each one of you. Wolfe Gourmet Cakes, CJ’s Off the Square, Enchanted Florist, McConnell Hospitality Group, Phindy Studios Photography, and Premier Entertainment Company.

Brighter weddings and events are on the horizon according to the Pantone Colors of the Year 2017. We love the idea of staying ahead of the trends and incorporating colors that are sure to be seen and well loved on both runways and inside homes for the next couple of years. Care to join us? Our inventory has everything you need!

NIAGARA – The Amanda Chair is the perfect way to bring in Niagara – a moody, denim-like shade of blue – to any celebration or event. The relaxed hue on this particular chair is ideal for a vintage theme – think of pairing it with one of our Farm Tables and our Hob Knob glass collection for a perfect tablescape, or put it next to our mint green Marjorie Coffee Table for a more whimsical look.

Trying to keep things understated and timeless? Simply add an ice blue dinner napkin along with our White Round China Collection for a more minimalist design.

LAPIS BLUE – This deeper shade of blue lends itself to a more modern or more dramatic color palette. And we have the perfect piece of furniture to do just that: our Rhapsody in Blue Side Chair in high back, low back, or dining chair styles.

The gorgeous details of these chairs can easily upgrade any simple design to make a bigger statement. Pair it with white tables like the Trellis side table or Mykonos Coffee Table for a modern look and feel. Or, get dramatic by pairing it with the Urban Drum Coffee Table.

Want to skip the chair but keep the Lapis? We have a table runner or dinner napkin for that! The pop of color adds depth to any tablescape.

PRIMROSE – Bring on the fun with the bright and joyful yellow that is primrose. Incorporate the vitality and excitement of this shade in your event with beautiful vintage pieces in a variety of bright yellow shades. Our Sunny Rolling Cart is the perfect vintage piece to hold your photo booth props, or even displaying your forks, napkins, plates, etc. Keep the pop of primrose throughout by incorporating some of our wooden beverage crates – Pepsi, Double Cola, and Sun Drop crates are all shades of yellow! Add on to the vintage fun by adding assorted vintage suitcases and old story books throughout.

The Grand Opening at Sycamore Farms was a smashing success, and Team Southern truly went all-out to show off how fab this venue can look. Located in Arrington, Sycamore Farms is the perfect space to mix modern and vintage pieces for a luxe, upscale style.

For the dining area we pulled out all the stops with our newest pieces. Our Grayson Farm Tables created a sleek, modern slate, while our new Darcy Bone China paired with our Russet Matte Satin Napkins and Austin Gold Flatware made a chic and sophisticated place setting. Guests were invited to relax at one of several lounge scenes, featuring our London Grey Tweed Loveseat, Tessa Tufted Loveseat, Santorini Couch, Mykonos Coffee Tables and a mix of our vintage chairs. Refreshments were served from our Antique White Franklin Bar and Whiskey Barrel Bar. The whole event was truly gorgeous, and we’re so excited to partner with Sycamore Farms for more stunning events in the future!

Thanks to Jenna Henderson for capturing the day!

Is there a more perfect space to hold a vintage styled shoot than the nearly 200-year-old Homestead Manor in Franklin, Tennessee? The historic estate-turned-beautiful venue set the scene for a southern gothic styled shoot with SheHeWe Photography. A mix of our classic favorites and newer rentals completed the look. We paired our Grayson Farm Tables with our vintage Constance Chairs for an upscale antique tablescape. For the place settings, we mixed our Artisan China and Hamlet & Ophelia Gold-Rimmed China Collections. Our Austin Gold flatware added a modern touch to keep the look from feeling dated. Our Grey Goose Linen Runner and Iridescent Ivory Luxe Designer napkins added luxe texture. Our model couple relaxed on our Santorini Love Seat paired with our vintage Francis Coffee Table for an upscale outdoor lounge. Our Emilie Secretary Desk created a sweet sign-in table at the ceremony, where we used our Crossback Chairs for seating.

Get ready for dramatic color contrasts and rich textures! While we love the soft, organic styles inspired by nature that have dominated the wedding and events industry in recent years, let’s just say we are in the mood for a bold, sophisticated event style. This look is fashion forward, mixed black and white, bright pops of color, and strong metallics. Our Ghost Arm Chairs and Grayson Farm Tables paired with more luxe details like our Gold Medallion Chargers and Gold Velour Benches make it ultra glam. Dark but chic, edgy yet still elegant, this trend would be perfect for your winter wedding or corporate gala!

Southern Events was delighted to contribute to the 43rd annual Heritage Ball at the Eastern Flank Battlefield Park in Franklin this September. The Heritage Ball is the historic city’s longest-running black-tie event, and underscores the Heritage Foundation‘s efforts to preserve the architectural, geographic and cultural heritage of Franklin and Williamson County. The theme for this year’s gala came from a visit by the event chair to NYC – she was inspired by the simple refinement of an upscale New York restaurant. A monochromatic color palette of white & gray mixed with metallic accents and architectural decor created an elegantly chic space to raise funds and celebrate for the 700 plus guests in attendance.

The event featured a wide range of inventory items including our Mercer Lounge Furniture, Ghost Chairs & Barstools, Gold & Nickel Grey Velour Benches, London Loveseat, Eiffel Chairs, Conga Gold Drum Side Tables, Black Franklin Bars, White Silver Leaf & Granite Grey Shantung Linens, Darcy Bone China, Abby Flatware, Madison Glassware, Gold Chiavari Chairs, and both our Black & White Dance Floor as ell as our New England Plank Dance Floor.

The vision for this event came to life even more beautifully than we planned! Thanks to all who made this gorgeous event possible, and to those dedicated to preserving Franklin’s rich history!  Thanks to Phindy Studios for their beautiful photos of the event

When Nashville’s top wedding planners gather, one would expect a stylish setting.  The recent meeting of the Nashville Wedding Planners Group at the new Sycamore Farms gave them a stylish setting and an equal stylish table to dine.  Our Grey Goose Linens were set with our Darcy China, Hob Nob Glassware and Gold Austin Flatware creating a feminine tablescape that felt relaxed and on trend.  Tall arrangements of greenery and white & blush blooms from Owsley Designs made for easy conversation. We love this look for a ladies luncheon, daytime wedding, shower or dinner party.

Sycamore Farms is located in Arrington, TN on 28 Acres.  It features the gorgeous hall show below (check out that chandelier!) and lots of outdoor spaces to set up bars, lounges or take unique pictures. Thanks to Kristin Sweeting for the beautiful photos!

We’re delighted to share photos from this southern boho styled shoot at The Foundry, captured by photographers Nyk + Cali. The free-spirited, down-to-earth design featured our Fruitwood Rustic Benches for the ceremony, and our Fruitwood Farm Tables for the reception. For the tablescape, we used our Effie Ivory lace runner, paired with a mix of our Heirloom China, and Abby Fine Silver Flatware.

Thanks to Regalo Design for the beautiful florals to complete the style!

Our lovely selection of lace runners can add just the right touch of vintage elegance to your table scape. We have a variety of styles and colors to choose from, and they can be styled in several ways to suit your occasion. Straight and simple, or loose and layered, these are a delicate and upscale accent for any event!

For 2014’s A Very Marry Occasion at CJ’s Off the Square, we layered blush lace over a pink poly runner. So chic! (Photo credit: Amy Nicole.)

At the ACME Urban Desert styled shoot, we used lace runners to line the table settings, rather than centering them in the tablescape. (Photo credit: Photographix.)

Finally! We’re so excited to share a full recap of our gorgeous Urban Desert styled shoot at Acme Feed & Seed. In case you missed our Inspiration Board post last week, this shoot was inspired by the southwest. We mixed some of our most popular pieces (like our Fruitwood Farm Tables and Crossback Chairs) with some hidden gems in our Vintage Prop Shoppe (like our Marrakesh Screen, Sylvia Buffet Table, Ramona Couch, and Marjorie Vintage Coffee Table), for an eclectic, urban style.

The styled shoot featured four setups: a lounge, ceremony, reception, and dessert display. The lounge matched patterned textiles and vintage furniture with more bold florals. For the tablescape we arranged the Fruitwood Farm Tables in a chevron pattern, with lace runners layered beneath the place settings. Deep turquoise napkins and stacks of vintage books added a pops of color. We worked with a team of talented vendors, including Bright Event Productions, Enchanted Florist, Designs in Paper and Dulce Desserts. Castilleja Nashville (located in Edgehill Village) donated vibrant accessories, like the serape blankets and rugs, to complete the look! It was a true oasis of color and texture.

The styled shoot also turned into a surprise proposal for our model couple, Magen and Lyndi. When we invited them to model for the shoot, Magen asked if she could use the day as an opportunity to pop the question to her girlfriend Lyndi. Through skillful coordination and lots of secret-keeping, the plan was a success! The two got engaged between photo sessions on the Acme rooftop, surrounded by their friends and family. Such a sweet moment! You can see photos of the proposal in our feature on 100 Layer Cake.

Thanks to all our “friendors” who made this styled shoot such a beautiful success, especially Photographix for these gorgeous images.
