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.

Last summer, we were thrilled to partner with an AMAZING group of Nashville event professionals on a desert-inspired style shoot with an urban twist. This inspiration board shows our vision for the shoot: a wedding for couples with bold, eclectic style, inspired by the exotic textures and vivid colors of the southwest. We dug into our Vintage Prop Shoppe inventory to find a mix of colorful, vintage pieces to create a unique look, from our antique Ramona Couch to our Marjorie Coffee Table. Stay tuned for the big reveal of the final look and vendors that brought it to life, coming to the blog next week!

Our styled shoot at ACME Feed & Seed was a gorgeous success. It was a great example of some smart ways to personalize pieces from our Vintage Prop Shoppe, from the storybooks to the antique Marrakesh Screen.

The Marrakesh Screen looks absolutely gorgeous draped in florals from Enchanted Florist! It works well as a backdrop to the lounge, but it also make a great backdrop for a ceremony altar.

Our storybook from the Vintage Prop Shoppe can add an eclectic pop of color to your tablescape or as an accent in a lounge setting.

This macrame banner was donated to the style shoot by Castelleja Nashville, but it was a unique way to personalize our Franklin bar, which lifts at the top to hang banners or garlands for a personalized touch.

Stay tuned for a full recap of this amazing shoot, coming soon to the blog! Photos by Photographix.

This wedding showcase at Homestead Manor was a southern stunner! Our tablescape took center stage in the event barn, with a Grey Goose Runner, Cerise Kensington Napkins, Cameron Silver Flatware, Artisan China, and Madison Glassware. The gorgeous floral garlands and centerpieces from Enchanted Florist made the look complete! Our Wyatt Cake Stands and White Square Tabletop Lanterns were used for the sweet desert display. Our new Sutton Furniture in Mediterranean Blue was used to create a relaxed yet upscale lounge for guests to enjoy the September evening.

Thanks to our fellow vendors, Enchanted Florist, Bright Event Productions, and Visual Elements, for helping create such a gorgeous event! Many thanks to Jenna Henderson for sharing these images with us.

In September, Southern Events had the pleasure of contributing to the 42nd annual Heritage Ball in Franklin. In support of this historic foundation, the planning committee went with a historic theme of Rhapsody in Blue, inspired by George Gershwin’s jazz age classic. It was perfect for the Franklin’s longest running black-tie gala, creating a rich, upscale look for guests to enjoy. This event style, with it’s color palette of sapphire blue, gold and white, is great inspiration for a winter event, whether it’s another gala, corporate event, or wedding.

Stay tuned for the big reveal of the full event recap on our blog, coming next week!

This year’s A Very Marry Occasion wedding showcase at CJ’s Off the Square was a gorgeous success! We’re still swooning over all the opulent details, from our gorgeous white furniture to the lush floral magic from Enchanted Florist. We set the scene for an upscale outdoor garden reception with our White-Washed farm tables, Vienna Couch (covered in our ivory slipcovers),  assorted pillows, Lilac Fairmont Runners, Belmont Chargers and Abby Fine Silver Flatware. Guests for the open house mingled at our Jackson Silver Pedestal Bistro Tables. Our Willow Cake Plateau made a sweet dessert display in the cake room. All in all, it was a fantastic showcase thanks to the careful planning and creative vision of CJ Dickson. The event has been featured on Wedding Chicks and Ruffled!

Special thanks to Austin Gros for his wonderful photography work!

It was our pleasure to collaborate on this style shoot-turned-vow renewal with the talented folks at Wedding 101 and Jessie Holloway Photography, held at Wren’s Nest. When Wedding 101 reached out to Hayley and Matt about modeling for this boho style shoot, Matt knew it was a great opportunity to give Hayley the wedding of her dreams after they eloped a few years ago!

For the vow renewal ceremony, we lent our Vintage Auditorium Seats. For the reception, we styled our Round Fruitwood Farm Table with our Artisan China and Bradley Flatware, and an assorted mix of colored chairs from our Vintage Prop Shoppe for a little bohemian flare. An assortment of our lanterns were gathered as a chandelier over the reception tables. Our Sydney Desk made a sweet focal point for the cake display. All in all, it was a beautiful day for this beautiful couple, and we were so happy to help make this style shoot into something special for Hayley and Matt!

We’re seeing a lot of upscale lounges and tablescapes set outdoors for weddings and events this year, and we swoon every time! We achieve this look with ornate details, luxe linens, and metallic accents. The juxtaposition of opulent and rustic pieces (like pairing our Prissy Loveseat with our Whitewashed Farm Tables) in the outdoor setting creates a lavish atmosphere that will make your guests say, ooh-la-la. Grab a fancy cocktail and relax!
