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!

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!
